Day 2, Month 9

I've had a great deal of time to think about it, and I still don't know what the right decision was.

We intercepted the weapons to keep them from being used against other living souls. But as a result, the dead swept through Taravast and destroyed much of it, ending lives in the process. I don't know how many died in that assault, but I know it was too many.

I guess there wasn't one, in the end. Both options led to loss of life. I like to think we were able to protect the living in Taravast more than we could have if the dead had taken those weapons to slaughter elsewhere, but it's impossible to say for certain.

I wish I'd had more time. I wish I could have seen through the politics of the city better to know how best to warn them. I wish now that we'd sold those weapons after all. Though from what I understand, they've been sabotaged. A small boon.

Nine months now, and I don't know that I've made a single good decision for this world. Small wonder the others fail to see me as capable. I pray now for wisdom more than strength.
