eachdraidh | [Video] The Path to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions (Locked to those with compasses from Rin.)

[The video starts with a string of swear words in Ancient Gaelic. Those looking closely at Diarmuid will notice that there are places on his face where the skin is slowly healing from what almost seems like rot. Rot certainly shows itself on his clothing. In fact, the edges of his cloak crack and bits break off it, fluttering away into the air as it flaps.

Once he stops swearing and actually looks down at the compass in his hand, his expression is grim.]

I tried, but perhaps it was foolish of me to think one man could make a difference...

[Not only is his expression grim, it is angry.]

I don't know how and I don't know what fool is responsible--perhaps we all are--but the Jabberwock has been freed from beneath Caer Scima. It seems to be heading toward Caer Glaem. There is an aura or rot that follows it making it extremely dangerous to approach. Please spread the word. Anyone in its way is going to be in danger. It seems to be...maddened...

[To be honest, he doesn't blame it if it is in anyway tied to Caer Scima's condition.]

May all those Above and Below be with us. We are going to need them...

Who knows? I may be a Seelie and I may follow the path of a knight, but more and more I am finding that my path is apparently different from theirs and that leaves me unable to understand what they are thinking.

[Diarmuid shakes his head, looking frustrated for a moment before he pushes it away.]

I am heading to the front lines now, actually, to warn people. I will see if any of them have ideas. I appreciate your concern, but I should be healed by the time I arrive there. We pulled back very quickly when we realized what was going on.

All right, but do remember to take care of yourself. You're without a Master, Lancer, and there's no telling what might happen to a Servant that falls without one to bind them to this world.

[ That's the most concern she'll show for now. ] As for that bit about Seelie... well, war makes people question everything they've known. After this, we can meet up and discuss it, if you want someone not biased to talk to.

[Why Rin...such concern. He is touched...]

Thank you. I will be as careful as I can be. There is so much unknown about what keeps Servants without Masters like myself going in this world. I don't really want to tempt Fate, and I won't be much help to anyone if I get hurt or run myself to low on energy. I did that once before. I would prefer not to do it again.

[He swears he still feels an ache from time to time from the wound he got fighting Reynard's daughter.]

I would like that, actually. Even if you don't have much you can say, it might help me get my thoughts sorted out.
