“Gender intifada”

Adera, a spirit.

Dear Kaiara,

I have completed the first part of the gunblade training. It was... an experience. We went on a, I will call it a vision quest. We saw things from a traumatic experience of our past and we had to overcome them to move on. Only the whole thing was negatively amplified by the soul stones we brought with us. I had my dragoon stone, Ashe had a paladin stone, and, worst of all, Corsa’ir brought his dark knight stone. The stones somehow reacted with the magic of the vision and everything became that much worse. I do not fully know what the others dealt with. I was busy with my own issue, a monstrously tall Ishguardian knight that was a combination of all my worst nightmares. It was as if those responsible for your death all fused into one horrific being come to finish what they started.

I panicked and let my rage take hold. I could not deal with the horror without the aid of the monster. This was a bad call. The creature caught me and tried to rend me in half with it’s teeth. At some point it began to morph into a dragon. With Adera, Ashe and Corsa’ir’s help I managed to escape. And then Locke told us we could not fight these normally, we must know in our hearts why we fight. In a flash of pure emotion, I saw you. You are why I fight, so that what happened that night will never happen again. I struck at the beast with conviction, with all my heart and soul, and it hit true. I lost my lance, it shattered, leaving a dragon bone blade in it’s place. It doesn’t matter, I still have my Allagan lance that Harold gave me. From the beast’s mouth dropped the cylinder, one that had father’s scale pattern on it.

After everything that has happened. All the anger and sorrow and regret. After Chaumont. This feels right. I became a dragoon to get revenge for what they did to you. There is no one left to get revenge from. Maybe the way of the gunbreaker is my way forward. Maybe I am the Dragon Knight.

...to all who made it out last night to the Black Garden Medical Clinic!!!
