---------------- Journal of Parandalia Amberfoot -------------------
-------------------------- Chapter 5 ------------------------------

I am not a complete hypocrite. For, while we are in this plane, why
not help those we can? I sought the Nexan to help this world. To be
a beacon to others who value knowledge and wisdom above savegry. I
truly believe this world could be great. However, I don't think it
will come through Darkness covering the world. Nor Light enveloping
the lands. To be honest, after speaking with many on both light and
dark sides, I can report that they both sound quite similar.

It's the same for all the great powers. For this world to survive we,
as a whole, must find a common ground. A true 'balance'. And yes, I
understand how cliche that is, but what else am I to gather from
this world? The Light won't stop until Darkness is banished, and
Darkness won't stop until this world is a blight. We, Nexan, are all
that stand in the way. And we are ridiculed for it. I simply don't
understand.

I am alone here, on this lonely Island. I wonder who you are. You,
who found this journal. I wish I could meet you. Hear your thoughts,
and listen to you tell me what a fool I am. Perhaps you're but a
simple traveler, like me. Maybe we could have been friends. Yes,
that's a happy thought. Whoever you are, I wish you well. I hope
that, in your life, things are happier. That the world is greener,
and things make more sense. I like to think that I am with you, in
some way. Even if it is completely impossible. The thought gives me
comfort.
