[Damiren] not dead yet

((In a very unsteady hand, on a separate piece of paper. The writing occasionally trails off and picks up again in slightly fresher ink.))

I don't have my journal, I'll put this in when I get it.

I lived. I did not escape, but I was rescued. I'm told it was very close--another few hours and I would not have lived. I'm healing up well, but they tell me that the emergency healing that was done in the field means that I will always have ugly scars on my arms. I don't mind at all.

What I do mind is this horrible rune on my wrist. I asked the healers, they sent a mage a few hours ago who specializes in runes and bindings and things. She said it's very powerful, it's what is keeping me from touching the Light, and she's going to have to go look up how to ~~~

How to do whatever she's going to do to make it go away. I hope it's soon. I miss it. It's still there, inside me, but I can't ~~~

I've asked them to leave the door open, and they usually do, but then somebody comes along and closes it, usually while I'm asleep. I wake up and see the closed door and my heart starts hammering again. I know it's over and I'm free... I can get up, they don't want me to, but I'm going to get somebody to teleport me to Thunder Bluff, and make arrangements to stay there while I recover. The tauren don't have doors, just tent flaps and agreements. I don't like closed doors ~~~

Serendan, Ceirin, has been captured, is in jail. I've had to answer a lot of questions about her, some of them very embarrassing. They say they they won't kill her. They encouraged me to go visit her. They want me to get her to say things that will answer more questions, I think. I don't know. I don't want her to die, I truly do want her to be redeemed... but I don't know if I can stand to talk to her.

I do want to talk to Sabriel, but they tell me she's still in no condition for visitors. I'm glad she's free, but now I'm worried about her. That dragon... I want to apologize for failing to free her when I convinced her to help me try to escape, and the things it did to her when it caught her. I will ask through the medics if she wishes to see me. I would not blame her if she does not. I would like to help her build a new life, or find her old one, or... I wish I could have resc

The medic told me that Doctor Vi'le killed the dragon, but he didn't say anything about when or how, and he looked--well, disgusted. I'm pretty sure I don't want to know anything else about that.

I'll have to come back to Silvermoon for inquiries, but they tell me that there's a mage ready to teleport me, and a medic is waiting for me there, along with my belongings from Orgrimmar, so I'm ending this here.

(( I love Damiren. If I feel bad for anyone, I feel bad for him. ))

((The "leave the door open" thing is derived from a short story written by somebody who was held hostage/prisoner for an extended time. I don't remember much else about the story, except that it was -very- realistic and quite graphic about how being held prisoner for a long time without knowing whether you're going to be killed at any time affects people's emotional reactions. After he was released, he had to sleep with the bedroom door ajar and a night light for a -long- time. The thought that the door to the room he was in could be locked from the outside made him panic. Damiren's going to have a few mental/behavioral/emotional changes from this, I'm pretty sure they'll end up being net positive. I'm glad he's out of there, it's good to be able to actually RP him some! ;) ))
