Under the Hat - LeiHaribo - 11-22-2020

Hidden away in the depths of one of the Celestial Ruins many rooms is a journal written by the self-proclaimed White Witch.
It will likely be buried in rubble and lost to time once renovations are complete.
But in case someone manages to find it within her home away from home?
It reads like this.

you're not doing enough.

so you healed a few people. who cares?

you gave them a bed and a job. they would have been fine without you.

I'm harder on myself than anyone else could dare to be.
Everyone says that I'm doing great, but I know better.
Greatness is earned at the end of a successful campaign.
Greatness is shown through combat in the land of Esshar.
It is seen by all.
Mankind. Spirits. Angels and Demons.
My light is barely bright enough to keep the Waystone illuminated, for now.

when he dies, you'll be alone again.

Njorun's people were a plague upon the lands. you're no better.

just another holy magi with a savior complex.

you can't save everyone. you can't even save yourself.

I feel as though I'm setting everyone I'm bringing along with me up for failure.
All of those who have put their trust and hope in me so far.
Things are going well so far... but Gruncle Kofe had friends once too.
But the older people get, the more alone they become.
War. Death. Famine.
I cannot stop those things. They are a part of life.
But I can prevent tragedy. Ease their pain.
Show them a brighter path.

you'll be blinded by the Light, just like she was.

it's already starting to eat away at you, isn't it?

that desire to fix everyone and everything.

the Light can only be wielded by those chosen by the angels.

When I wield Elora Grimmore's bow, I can feel the burden of the cosmos.
When I swing Njorun's Axe, I can hear the whispers of my ancestors cheering me on.
But why do I feel like I'm already letting them all down?
I'll keep doing my best! But just in case it isn't enough...
Sorry in advance, Grandpa Pariah.

if you can't even impress the Stellus, why would they grant you their blessing?
