THE ABODE OF GOLGOTHA
======================================================================================

It was half submerged in dirt when he saw it. The golden corner poking
up at him as if it were some kind of treasure waiting to be discovered.
Kurien reached down and picked up the diary. He gently brushed off the
dust and finding a fairly flat tree stump he did what he had always
Promised Suraea he would never do. Circumstance had driven him to this of course,
but reading Suraea's personal writings may be the only way he would ever find
out what had become of him.

15th January

Kurien and myself have reached the end of our journey at last!
Yesterday we reached the temple of my Grandfather and obtained
the treasure within which was my birthright. We have travelled
for almost a year to obtain it and now at last it is ours.
The item I received was a leather bound tome supposedly containing
all of my Grandfathers knowledge. I am skeptical as to it's use but
Kurien believes that it may hold something more than just mere words.
We still have a very long journey ahead of us but I tremble with
excitement at the thought of returning to my beloved Rachel and my
son David.

10th Febuary

This morning whilst we were sitting around our campsite I noticed
Kurien staring intently at his hands. He called me over and then I
saw it. A surreal green fire danced on Kuriens fingertips. I had
no idea Kurien had the potential to perform magic.

15th Febuary

While we passed through a market today, a thief stole a bag of money
from one of the stall owners. Kurien gave chase but could not catch
up. He moved his arm back as if to throw something and as he threw forward
a ball of green fire errupted from the palm of his hand and flew towards
the escaping robber hitting him in the back of the head. The thief collapsed
in a heap and the owner of the stall insisted that we dined with him and his
family. Kurien later tried to hurl the magic fire again but could not.

20th April

Kurien is able to throw the balls of fire at will now! His magical powers
are increasing at an exponential rate even for a gifted magician!


27th July

The canyon which we had hoped to travel through to reach home has
been rendered unbreachable by a huge rockslide. We have decided to
travel through the nearby forest of Sanchel as it will be the next
most direct route.

3rd August

While we were out hunting today a group of thieves raided our camp
and took all of our supplies. Luckily Kurien and I kept the tome
with us, however we will have to stay where we are in
Sanchel until we have gathered enough food to continue our journey
as wildlife here is plentiful. I elected to hunt for the food and Kurien
will stay behind and guard the camp as we cannot risk another raid.
I will rest now as it is late but tommorow I shall set out.

4th August

Strangely I could not find any animals or food all day. It was as if
they all vanished. In desperation I approached a small hut which I
noticed around an hour ago, an old man was living there who informed
me that while he could not spare any food there is a mansion nearby
who's master may be kind enough to aid us in our plight. I shall
seek out this place tommorow morning.

That was the last entry. Kurien rubbed his eyes and looked up from where he
was sitting. The 4th of August, How long ago was that? Days? Perhaps
weeks? Immediately Kurien decided that the best place to begin searching
for Suraea was at this mansion he spoke of in his diary. It took no more
than half an hour for Kurien to find it. It's grey towering walls looming
down upon him. Kurien stepped up onto the porch and rapped loudly on the
door... No answer. Plucking up what courage he had, Kurien swung open the
enormous oak door and stepped into the forboding dark hallway.....
