Majeera's Apprentice

Diary of Farandeli, daughter of Captain Jonich

Set into Marshlands with Majeera and Ferrik. Met Ferrik last night when he crept into the house; I thought he was a robber and tried to beat him to death with a rod until he cried out that he was a friend of Majeera. Ferrik is Majeera's young apprentice--He is sixteen, not very tall, and roguish. He listens only to Majeera; that I can half respect, but he hardly heeds a word I say, most likely because I am only fourteen. As long as Majeera is guiding us I don't care so much. I cannot wait to reach Dorbold Highland and see Father again. I only hope Majeera's words are true--that we may reach refuge from the evils of Cairedemure. I don't feel safe here.
