Entry 158:

* * *

It’s been weeks since an entry. Fortune has smiled upon me, for I have discovered their trail once again, those three elusive killers that I am charged to bring back with me through space and time. And better yet, they are with the man who hung me, Chevic the Cheery. Indeed, he kidnapped them and brought them to the White City of Brasov.

Yet if that is my good fortune, my misfortune is the herd that stands between the city and myself. The sea of pagans, thousands marching from the country’s interior, from the city outskirts, from the northern coasts, all to merge here at the capitol on First Night, a festival known to the Romarian Enlightened as the Night of the Pyres.

There is going to be a reckoning, and it is going to leave a mess.

My only hope is that when it is over I can find Lord Regent Aldous Weaver’s younger self and his comrades still breathing. At this point, I don’t think I can even contemplate what failure would do to my psyche. I’ve been through too much on this goose chase…and because of my condition, suicide is out of the option. If I fail to fulfill my quest, I will be stuck wandering through the wrong world in the wrong timeline for eternity.

I never imagined I would miss Butcher, my home in Villemisère, even the Wastes.

I suppose I could just start a medical practice once again. I’d be lynched for the first three hundred years everywhere but the Far East, though…

No, no, I’d rather not think of such prospects. I will have Theron Ward and Kendrick the Cold in my care by the morrow. I will give young Aldous the scroll encased in the jewel, and he will send us back to Fracia, back to the catacombs of time. Back into a different fight altogether.
