A great deal has happened in my life since I began my journey outside the
Academy. Perhaps I've grown reminiscent over time. I entered the Academy
as a Necromancer seeking cures for the worst the guild has to offer.
Misguided as I was, I believe I truly have come to something of a mastery
over those afflictions through the Healers guild. I likely wouldn't be a
Healer today were it not for Captain Neltouda coming to me in the Forest
of NoWhere with Graile and Lero one hundred years ago.

Ever since our first conversation, her words to me still ring as clear in
my mind and Spirit as ever. "As you pluck at the strings of my Spirit, so
too shall I pluck at yours." Later, she'd asked me to be the vessel of
her Spirit. I still remember being shocked beyond belief. Thought perhaps
I'd already died and had crossed over to the other side.

In all my years though... I never imagined I would have made it to the
pinnacle of any guild. As a new Hero, I wonder if perhaps my advancement
is premature. Afterall, most that enter the guilds have all their
training available to them through their guildmasters. My training comes
from my Captain, and I believe she yet has more in store for me. Not
merely in training, but in things I must do.

I look at my advancement as a new beginning. I've pleased the Guildmaster
and no longer require formal training from him. I'm free to redouble my
efforts to please the Captain, as well as serve as a guide to those
around me.
