Reunion of Fire and Death

I do not trust Gabrius to let me return to the Dream – the afterlife where I belong – so I see only one resolution to my curse. I must kill the man who raised me from the dead.

I have acquired an amulet to protect my mind from Gabrius’ control. Together with Eloria, the mage Gabrius sent me after, we have crafted a blade both cursed and envenomed to deliver certain death to the necromancer.

All that remains now is to journey to the Hallowed Cave, bordering the Mistywood and the Silvermirror Fen, where the necromancer awaits.

A boat from the witches’ throne could take me there, provided I can fix it.

I do not know what Gabrius has prepared for us, yet there is no choice but to face him. He will be waiting at the back of the Hallowed Cave.

To no surprise, Gabrius knew to expect my betrayal. Alongside dark necromantic powers, he may be sustained by the power of the stone circle within the Hallowed Cave.

He will be immensely difficult to kill, which is why the dagger Eloria and I crafted will be an absolutely essential weapon.

We've done it! There is no doubt about it, Gabrius must be dead. And yet... I feel no different. I can't help the feeling that something may be off.

I should speak with Eloria.

Gabrius appears to be dead, yet according to Eloria, it would not be the first time he's cheated death. I should examine his remains.

No journal description.

Gabrius, the Master of the Black Grimoire… His body may be destroyed, but he is beyond death. He has become a Shade, whatever that means. Though I am no longer a slave, it may be impossible to reverse what Gabrius has done to me.

Eloria and I will remain allies, however. One day we must find a way to deal with Gabrius permanently. But for now, I continue to walk these lands in eternity...
