Third
. . . Concerning the (Iriday?) the necklace seems ever to grow heavier. I know it is merely in my mind, I weighed it and there was no change. Perhaps I am more tired. I still have not slept, but today I declined an outing to the zoo even though Emperial promised it was full of "wonderful alien creatures." Something about the idea of the zoo seems cruel to me. Being caged, being controlled.
Is that what it is like being in a pendant? I know I was born from a book, but of being in the book, I have no memory. There are memories of something before it, but nothing that gives me a sense "I was in a book." Perhaps it was imprisonment, or merely I did not yet exist and the before-memories are falsitude. There must be for everyone a moment when they did not exist. Even for the seer. If you are a seer, do you know that moment? Can you see it?
I wonder if the (again, Iriday?) is cognizent of the situation, or oblivious to it. More to the point, does she know I am here? Does she know that I am her brother even if a seer says otherwise? I am compelled to follow my own course, I have spent too long already being led around. Under the circumstances I had no choice, but in the future I will endeavor to avoid thing. Things may be inevitable, but that does not mean we cannot control them given adequate preparation. I am unsure as to the preparation required, but one of our neighbors, Sally, has a young daughter and would know, and under innocent guise I have asked to meet her. She has reportedly known Emperial a long time and might be able to help me with that.
Good counsel is worth more than loyal soldiers.
