[ooc: written in Draconic runes]Shana was telling me about Father Dragon's account of the Wizard Wars, about how he kept a diary in the language of the Kin while shifted. She even showed me a few pages of it, back at the Citadel. Since there's already a precedent set...why shouldn't I do the same? It's not like anyone else here can read this (I already checked by posting on the strange common board), and they'd have a fine time trying to! I wish them well of it. If anything, I can bring this back when I do finally get out of this place I seem to have found myself in and show it to Shana. I'm sure she'd get a laugh out of it.
I'm stuck. I didn’t even realize that it could happen, but I can't shift out of this stupid two-legger form. I don't feel anything when I try; it’s as if all of the mass that I shifted to the Out has disappeared, and all I'm left with is this body I'm in now. My magic's also all but gone, and I can't even cast a decent bolt of lightning before fainting with the effort. I'm effectively a halfblood with no Wizard powers. It's...distressing, to say least.
Equally distressing is this place. I'm told that it's some sort of prison, that we're being held against our wills for an unknown purpose, and that it is the reason why everything seems so diminished here.
But it's odd. I’m surrounded by humans, some of whom do possess...unusual powers, but none of whom have ever been collared. These are humans who have never known a life in bondage. Valyn tried to explain it to me, but--
Oh, that's right! I forgot to mention it, but you read that correctly, Shana.
Valyn is alive. He survived the explosion somehow and wound up here! He doesn't know how either. In fact, he's insisting that he's been here for days. Valyn, a halfblood female named Raine, and her friend, tried to explain it to me last night, but I'm afraid that I didn't understand much.
Anyway, until next time,
