Today I spent most of my time observing the soul, specifically Azrezels. I spent my time trying to figure out if there was anything happening to his soul while he was trying to perform healing magic. I feel like I am on the right track, but it is just that, a feeling. I found no concrete evidence one way or another.

I simply don’t have the expertise required to figure it out. I do, however, know about a large group of creatures that do have that expertise. After about a decade or so a dungeon will start being able to see and interact with souls, of course, many of them would be rather skilled in that field. Yes, dungeons, in general, don’t care about necromancy, but some rare few do, like myself. And people, including dungeons, tend to care a lot more about something when you can offer them something they want. I happen to have quite a bit of money at the moment, with more coming in constantly. And if that doesn’t work there are other rather unique skills I can offer, all dungeons can create life, but few are as good at creating plant-based life as me, and none can create new ents for almost a decade more. And I can always ask Tiddol for a favor, her clockwork children are rather popular. Besides, it can’t hurt to ask.

Par showed up with the leaders of the recently surrendered city today by way of teleporter. The deal that came too is that if they manage to get my approval then they will be allowed to continue to run their city, with a bit of oversight. So I read their minds, and while all of them were guilty of plotting my downfall, only two of them had any part in the plan to kidnap me, though the rest were aware of it. I can’t fault them for that. Needless to say, those two died.

Upon hearing about the completion of my most recent project Par requested that I let the leaders I did approve of make use of it. I agreed, and Par joined my hivemind himself as well, partially as a demonstration to show that it wasn’t dangerous. I gave Par a version that did not enforce his loyalty to me, I wouldn’t do that to a close friend of mine. Besides, if I can’t trust Par then I don’t think I could trust anyone, if he uses it on anyone then they will get the full effect though.

I spent my downtime with Azrezel. We basically had date night. Starting with dinner in a restaurant in pearlhold, just a small hole in the wall place. We ended up going in disguise so people wouldn't recognize us, it was trying to pretend to be an average person. It was a bit difficult to hide Azrezel’s wings though, but it’s not like there aren’t angels in the city so we mostly ignored it.

After that we went home and ended up making up poetry for each other, we were both really bad at it. It ended up being less romantic and more hilarious, I mean how else would you describe comparing me to peanut butter. It was fun, we should do that more often.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
