2nd of Morning Star, 4E 202
The dragon attacks have become more and more frequent. That colossal black dragon that attacked Helgen is somehow resurrecting them. It explains how after I killed all of the dragons at their lairs, new ones replaced them weeks later.
One of them attacked Riverwood moments after I returned there from the Thalmor Embassy. I’ve had greater challenges than fighting a dragon while I was wearing a long slim gown and a delicate pair of lady’s shoes, but not many.
The local children are now playing on the skeleton.
If this keeps up, every fireplace in Whiterun will be able to have a dragon skull hanging above it.
I’ve been trying to meditate, using a technique the Greybeards taught me. I noticed something strange after I left the embassy, and I’m uncertain what to do about it.
I was trying to protect Malborn, so I didn’t see the embassy get destroyed, but after the explosion I turned and saw a single figure, silhouetted against the fire. It looked female, and I think it was shorter than average.
My instinct is telling me it was Kethrina trying to take another shot at Elenwen, but I can’t prove it. It’s disturbing if it’s true. The embassy was full of innocent people. I haven’t heard of anyone being hurt yet, but I’m troubled that someone was willing to endanger innocent lives in such a way.
Technically, I no longer have the mission to find Kethrina. Technically, she isn’t my problem anymore. However, she is a Dragonborn and a powerful mage who has mastered the destruction school. Whatever her motives, she is incredibly dangerous.
If she becomes involved in either the Legion or the Blades, I could be in trouble. I may be a battlemage, but I don’t possess the degree of power required to destroy a building.
It was always a possibility that I would have to face Kethrina directly, but if it came to a fight of power versus power, I would most likely lose.
So … do I gain greater magical power? Do I increase the strength of my Voice? Or do I become stronger another way?
