Finally making it to Bliss and completing our debriefing I find myself antsy rather than relieved. We are spending our time re-supplying ourselves for what seems to be general adventuring. Our fist quest is to the Wind Shrine but beside that I do not know our direction. With the pending doom we have just reported on, I feel we need to somehow prepare ourselves for it and take an active role in building our defenses, but against what? What will the role of the Taoiseach and the Wing Foxes be, and when?

For now we seem to be bait and until we are promoted to full Journeymen of the Guild our usefulness seems to be limited. I feel that I must be patient and do what I can to prepare as best I can. I have talked to the Rangers of Bliss and plan to spend some time training with them in both magical academics and in honing my combat skills. I also would like to spend time with both Raven and Jotork in improving my meditative skill, of which I have never had any formal training.

In the back of my mind I feel that this journey to the Wind Shrine is a waste of precious time that we can use readying an attack against the Blackcloaks. But it is just this kind of impulsive thinking that I need to control, and spending time focusing on my spiritual center is what I should be concentrating on. It is ironic sometimes, that the thinks that seem in your way are what you are actually looking for.
