The rain has stopped, which lifts my spirits somewhat, as does the thought that I shall only have more night outdoors. I found a toad in my boot this morning, which had clearly decided the warm, damp interior was the place to spend the night. It croaked at me as I evicted it from the boot, I presume in protest.
Something must be done about the Elves, although I know not what. By "the elves" I refer to those not of my family, but from the various other factions and places, who have yet to show the same committment to empowering the gemstone. There are some who help, but most do not understand its importance or why it should be the focus of their energies. If the Elves would co-ordinate their research and efforts into learning about our history, then Apsenniel would have the stone empowered in no time.
Instead, most of the elves have no clue, not one jot, about who they are or where they are going as a people. I would tell them that, if I thought I'd be allowed to speak at the council without being interrupted every few seconds or have someone co-opt my thoughts and speak on my behalf.
It is very frustrating.
And why does it always seem to be Elves who favour the cardinal element of Evil, who seem most motivated rather than the rest. They will, inevitably, set themselves staunchly at odds with Apsenniel, which will only serve to stymie her efforts.
I may speak to Fama, see what she suggests. She listens to me.
