Amber, year one, day 132 continued (Saturday, November 27, 2987)
Well, at least we are safely home. Even if we are not certain how we
got here, or how we were trapped in the first place. Three weeks have
passed in Amber since we departed in search of Coral. While we were gone,
Dalt has attacked Amber again and been repulsed. It is rumored that his
mater, Deela, was killed in the attack. Dalt has not been heard from
since. Ariadne is back in Amber, so I assume that her impersonation
failed. I imagine that things are not going well with her Shadow. I once
again find myself wondering why my siblings were actually fighting over
who would rule Amber. I find myself at a loss as to how to continue our
search for Coral, so I have decided to take the evening off. I had a
nice, relaxing bath, and then had Kira bring me dinner in the library.
There is so much more to learn about healing than what Mater was able to
teach me. I wish she was here with me. She would have found this all so
fascinating. I only wish I had more time to devote to learning. It seems
that ever since I left home, I have not had a moment to myself. And, with
Coral still missing, Dalt still attacking Amber and at least two of the
Golden Circle kingdoms currently at odds with Amber, I doubt I will have
much peace in the near future.
Heather appears to have some method of communicating with Brand
without using Trump. I suppose I should be thankful, since Brand was able
to get us out of the trap we were in. He did not seem to have a Trump
either, which is why I am convinced that he did not Trump her. I would
love to know how she did it, but I suspect I would have to know how to
draw Trumps to understand.
I still do not understand the trap we were in. It felt like we were
shifting Shadow, but according to Alex, we were not moving anywhere. How
could we be moving yet not move at all? This all seems very strange to
me. What I really cannot figure out is why Martin was not trapped with
the rest of us. When he Trumped back to Amber, he went back to the real
one, while the rest of us were trapped in that imitation. I must remember
to ask if he Trumped to Amber and then contacted the others, or if they
all went through together.
I hope we are able to find Coral soon. I remember what it was like to
be a prisoner, and I would not wish that fate on anyone. Well, almost
anyone. Once we find her, I believe it is time for me to pay a visit to
my homeland. It would be nice to see how things have fared in my absence,
and I am sure Kira and the others would welcome the opportunity to see
their families. And it will give me some time to reflect on what
direction I wish to take with my life. I am not certain if I should
remain in Amber, or begin to explore the many Shadows that exist around
it. I have spent almost no time at all outside of Amber, other than the
journey to Chaos during Patternfall, which was hardly a time for
sightseeing. I would like to know more of what is out there. I just do
not want to be alone while I explore.
