Entry I - Synnove

(Age: Youth)
Today I found you in an old place. An ancient place. It seemed criminal to leave such an innocent thing lying out in the woods without protection. You could be useful. If not to anyone else but me. So hello journal!
I’m quite fond of the place I found you. I’ve been coming there to think for some time. The aura there is peaceful. Cozy. I like the moss that grows over the stones and the sweetness of the air. Some of the other kids say it’s a cursed place. That magic existed there once upon a time. The Prophet teaches that when the gods abandoned this world, their sanctuaries were left to ruin and so were their people, leaving their magic to become tainted and impure.
It’s sad to think that once upon a time, magic wasn’t tainted. That we had healers and heroes who were pure and good. I guess that’s why our god has come. She sees the path forward. The path to an untainted world, free of the poison that the gods of old left behind. 
I wonder if the gods of old knew what they were doing when they abandoned their people?
