Journal Entry: August 7 [[PRIVATE]]
I'm more convinced that ever now that Gant and Glening deliberately created the connections to Georik's world because they knew I would be unable to resist asking questions that would probably have been better off being left unasked. And, like a fool, I fell right into their expectations, and now I know more about Georik that possibly I should ever know.
Geutrink... an entire village of 800, destroyed in one night. I'm still not entirely sure how Georik, even in a fit of rage, could've accomplished that; even with a fire, there should've been more survivors. But I've resolved not to probe further into this for Georik's sake, and to a lesser extent for my own. It's already haunting my memory as is, just thinking about the rubble, the shards of bone I kicked up from the ashes.
And yet I can't really condemn Georik. He's been a good friend, helping me when I was injured, or when I needed medical advice. And I can understand the impulse to do whatever it takes to help a loved one, a friend... even if it means throwing your own morality to the winds. So I'm going to simply have to silence those questions. And, as I promised, I will never tell a soul what I heard in that room that night. He still has people to protect, after all.
But... maybe I'll visit that village one more time. I'm not exactly a devout Christian, but somehow I think a prayer for the dead will help me feel better about the whole thing.
