Descriptive Text

10/01/759
I witnessed today a most disturbing scene during my stay in an unnamed village near Viktal, maybe even more disturbing than my true memories returning after crossing Darkonese borders. A cleric of the Inquisition, true leader of the community, was preparing to burn two people at the stake, under the pretense of witchcraft. One of them was the man who had been my guide in the woods. The same evening, it seems, he got drunk (thanks to the money I gave him) and said something about the Inquisitor's mother. The other one, it was evident, was a minus habens, whose diversity was to be his death.
The Inquisitor shouted, before igniting the pyre: "May this fire purge the wicked".
I prepared to cast a spell for distraction, so I could quench the fire with a create water and spirit those unfortunate souls away from the stake during the confusion.
Then, the cinders from the pyre began to coalesce, to fuse in an undulating mass of fire, that moved away from the wood and literally jumped on the cleric, burning him to ashes. In the terror and ensuing panic, I was able to "kill" those creatures and to free the two men.
I must say, this land has a soft spot for poetic justice.
-From the private journal of Witch Claire Silence of Viaki.
