"This is all wrong!" No I'm not describing Nidget's love life (boom!), or sadly my love life (self boom little deflated). I was of course describing my position in a damn revolution! That's completely stupid! I'm not revolutionary. Despite of course being directly involved in at least two seperate revolutions... Look unlike being a god killer this is not something I really think should be on my resume. I'm like the accidental revolutionary who gets sent somewhere to specifically accomplish something and then manages to do that through no actual ability of his own.
"Settle down Lorentino if I had any doubts about you before they are all gone now." Alontor standing amongst his men was a clear leader, and not just because he had a soothing voice (so soothing), but he commanded respect in the room like none other. It turned out he commanded that respect due to several things. One he was a vicious person willing to be so cut throat (at times actually cutting some throats) and two he could see the future and in that he could of course know at least how some outcomes were going to happen.
Ok I don't think I've descrived how "fortune" tellers can see things that haven't happened yet before so let me drop some knowledge on you. The future is a constantly swirling ball of horrible, both good and bad. People who are "seers" can see some of those outcomes based on actions you are, or will be contemplating making. Their power of observation is limited to their magical ability, and how predictable you are as a person (so their ability to see a farmers choices could stretch for years, their ability to see mine, barely outside of a minute, and I'm proud of that!). Alontor was a fairly powerful seer, one of the strongest I've ever seen, but he didn't tell anyone else about it. To everyone who couldn't see magical ability or feel someone magical, he just appeared to be really lucky (it was the reason people still played cards with him, even though even if he wasn't a seer I would never play cards with someone who was as consistently lucky as he was).
All of this to say after having two lines spoken and the rest of my crazy speech (also known as every entry ever... wait thats more self bashing, damn it!) that Alontor knew that I would be the right man for the job, sort of. Ok he had a good guess I'd do a good thing for his group when in reality he should have had no such belief because I'm insane and trying to guess what I'm going to do is impossible (look even I can admit that because its the truest thing I'll say today!) Look you read this journal you know I'll skip entire weeks of things and then highlight a conversation that took twenty seconds. Its honestly your fault that you expect differently from me!
