JoS/Kanna/12th Journal - Dissidents

Evening Star, 5th, 3E 427

When I returned to Caius, he dropped some shocking news on me. It seems like he's been recalled to Cyrodiil. His superiors are not happy about something… He says it could be referring to his "sugar problem". I know he's got a sweet tooth for "that" drink, but I thought he had it under control. Guess not.

He's of course happy with me being cured, and made it quite clear to me. He said that it's great news, amazing news, yet another proof to us - all of us - that I am indeed Nerevarine. My work here won't change at all because of this; I'm expected to pursue this path and my prophecy, whatever it may bring along. Caius said that I am the prophesied savior of Morrowind, so I must do this.

Regarding this, his final mission to me is to meet Mehra Milo at Vivec City regarding the lost prophecies. Caius hears that she's gotten herself in a bit of hot water as well, but doesn't know what this means for me, or for her. That's okay, we'll find out.

As for me being a Blade, he said I'm promoted to a rank of an Operative, which means that I'm the highest-ranking member of the Blades on this island for time being, not that it means anything. New Spymaster will probably be chosen soon, and me being high-ranking doesn't mean I get to boss around others. Everyone has their own missions to attend to or something. That's perfect, as it's not what I wanted anyway.

Then, as his final gift to me, he gave me a magic ring. "I know you have flaws as we all do", he said. "I like Skooma a little excessively, while you like to take things that don't exactly belong to you. Don't worry, I'm not mad about it, I'm not gonna snitch to anyone, I don't judge you. Just keep onto this. It's my lucky ring, got it once from a famous thief myself. He says he's always made his best plunder wearing it. Maybe it'll provide you with some luck as well."

It's a shame to watch him leave. I quite liked him, even though he was a drug addict and a bit of a pervert. There's nothing wrong with being a pervert. I'd just preferred if he kept his hands to himself, and at least tried to be more discreet about it. Oh well, I don't hate him. Never would. I'll miss him.

Then, I got to meet Karim and Kanna. They were both home, and neither of them was expecting me so soon. I hugged them both tight and reassured to them that everything's going to be okay now, while going over my experiences, all the crazy things I saw in Tel Fyr, and what all of this will mean for me going forward. Karim had nothing to say about me not being able to grow up anymore, and honestly, I don't know what to make of it myself either, but Kanna was sad. She said that she would've loved to grow up together with me and learn all about what it means to be adult with me, kind of like a twin sister. Now that she puts it that way, I can kind of see where she's coming from. It sure is gonna get a little strange in couple of years when she outgrows me and becomes a proper woman, while I will forever be stunted.

So, that's the good news, I'm reunited with my friends again. There were some bad news too.

Considering that the Sixth House has grown immensely in the past couple of years, especially in the past couple of months, especially now that they don't hide from the public eye anymore, the threat they pose to Morrowind is now huge. Vandalism, attacks on street, it's all out of control. The Legion is starting to get involved alongside the Great Houses to actually take this matter seriously. That's why Karim will be for time being put on active guard duty. No more traveling for him, at least for a while. In time he may be able to convince his superiors that he's far more useful in the fight against the Sixth House on the field, on the offense and not on common guard duty, but for now, he won't be able to travel with me. Maybe things will be different once we get back to Balmora.

Me and Kanna will travel together instead. Karim already gave us his blessing, saying that he trusts me fully, and has also grown to trust Kanna more. She's been taking training seriously and is getting stronger day by day.

We will waste no time. She has work to do, and so have I. Our first stop, Vivec City.
