*Journal Entry*
Mother! I saw the Great Mother, Shalherana today! She's beautiful! I feel so blessed to have occupied the same space as her! She really is the trees! I saw her change into one, it happened right before my eyes! It makes me love my trees even more, they really are a part of her. But I didn't just see one god today! I saw two! The other was Jishrim. He was taking the form of a giant spider. Disgusting.
Oh right.
Today someone was opening a new grand temple for Shalherana. I caught wind of it and made my way through the jungle to find it. That took some time and was rather tiring because the temple is at the top of a mountain. Finding a way up was trying enough. Once there Sister Vevlia gave an oration about Shalherana's love. It was nice, I kind of didn't listen a whole lot though. I was more enthralled with the beauty and grandeur of the temple she had built. After the speech everyone went out side to get saplings. Sister Vevlia was given a sapling by a High Elf and he said it was one of the seedlings from Shalherana's tree in some town who's name I didn't recognize. She planted it. . . and then someone started freaking out. She was speaking in tongues at some point. The woman was definitely touched by Jishrim. Cerna? Something like that was the name they kept calling her. I was just upset that she came to the temple to make such a commotion.
Jishrim came to take her away, and I have to be honest Mother. I wanted him to take her away. . . to see what would happen. To get her annoying gutter tongue speaking body out of there. But I didn't. Several men tried to fight Jishrim, but they failed. Several people got very sick after being bitten. I wasn't. Jishrim didn't even notice me though I called out to him several times. I guess that's good.
Shalherana showed up though, and her being was enough to cast Jishrim away. Though several people still rumored that he was hanging around outside. I don't know. I wound up speaking to Vevilia privately. I told her that I have troubles keeping my heart full of love at all times. Especially when I am feeling very tried. . . My heart tends to lose its love. I'm sorry Mother. I'm sorry for thinking to cast that woman out. I know it was wrong, but I couldn't help the thought. She said that as long as I don't act on my thoughts I'm doing better than most mortals. I suppose that's true, it actually felt very reassuring.
I told her I'd bring her a sapling from my grove before I took one of hers. I feel so wrong to just take something from someone without giving something in return.
I'm also trying to charter a ship to make stops in Calan. I think I may begin to work harder and build several temples. One for you obviously Mother Sallana. But I think I should also host a temple to Shalherana. What do you think? I wish you'd give me signs sometimes. . . .
I love you Mother. With all of my being.
