Entry 6
I’ve decided that Maera was right, when she said that I would grow to think of Thay as my home. So many firsts, too good to be true. I must be where I am supposed to be, where the Darkbringer wants me to be.
Today I met a shadowdancer. Daeris, she said. It was something like how they describe love at first sight in stories. Not for her, for what she had. I just knew, in that moment, that I wanted it more than anything I’ve ever wanted. And that I would do anything to get it. She popped out of thin air right before my eyes, from shadows, from nothing at all. I questioned her, willing her to tell me her secrets. But she only said that it takes a lot of practice… I better get started.
