Passages of Master Qaid's journals

A collection of passages from the journals of Master Qaid of the Sun, the Sorcerer.

Note: Some passages are quotes from Master Qaid himself, in italic, while others are brief descriptions I write based on the letters I receive from him.

Early records

I am a pilgrim. Not because I wanted to, but that is how life is. I have journeyed for a long time and seen more than my eyes would have ever imagined when I left.

It was chaotic. I kept only wispy memories because it all happened suddenly. Family, friends... Images blurred by the smell of dirt and dust of that afternoon. Images for another story.

For long periods of wandering I thought I had lost it all. But I remained alive. And it took me a while to acknowledge that.

"Why?" – I many times asked myself, or maybe waiting for some unknown deity within me to reply.

At first the pain was nearly unbearable and I blame me not for thinking of giving up. However, I was granted opportunities to withstand, to which now, over the years, I am in profound gratitude. I shall share these lines in future notes.

I gradually realized that those events were part of a story. My story, yes, but also the story of the world. An ancient world, filled with all sorts of stories within its own.

So although my piece of story meant so much to me that its absence drove me to think life wasn't worthy living, I then came to understand it was in fact so little.

We have so brief knowledge about this lifetime experience. We've seen empires rise and fall for thousands of years. Yet there's still so much to be learned.

As we walk towards a mysterious and uncertain future, one thing keeps popping into my mind: "we have to look back".

Only then the dark of the future will be illuminated. By the light of the past.

Sungazing in the Sun

(...) one of the last times I praised the setting sun while waiting for the moonrise. That is because evening is the best time to conjure a plant spell in the dry ground. The sky of the Sun is an all-day spectacle.
