Endemir's Journal Entry
A late Wood Elf's account of his encounter with strange Daedra

Day 9

I couldn't have picked a more curious time to explore this part of the jungle. I'd been hoping to document some interesting fauna or wildlife, but I never thought I'd see something like this. It all happened so fast. My skin started to tingle and the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end, then out of nowhere, there was a huge explosion in the sky, and a great portal appeared high in the air. I thought I was imagining it at first. I am eager to learn what's going on, but the air here feels dangerous now. I need to keep out of sight.

Day 10

The jungle is thick and dense, and makes it easier to observe without being seen. I've been lucky so far, though, because strange creatures continue to appear all around me in droves. Dremora, mostly, but also things I've never seen before. Horrible creatures made of glass. What are they up to? Why are they here? I still haven't figured that out yet.

As I've been slipping between trees and roots, I've seen strange golden spheres soaring through the sky- three of them, as far as I can tell, each shooting off into a different direction. They leave fluttering, magical streams through the air behind them. Strangely beautiful, really, and dreadfully enticing. I feel compelled to follow them. I hope to find answers at the end of their paths.

Day 11

I followed one of the golden spheres deeper into the jungle, and I know I must be close to the end of the trail. I hear cries of battle- maybe members of the legion?- and I can hear voices chanting in another language. I don't know what they're saying, but whatever it is can't be good. I'm going to hide here until the commotion dies down before getting any closer. Maybe, if the legion is here, they know more of what's going on.

The fighting waged on nearly all day, but it's finally over now. I waited a good little while before moving in closer, but I fear I delayed too long. There's nothing here now except the scars of battle strewn over the jungle floor. It was indeed the legion who were here. May their fallen rest easy.

I was able to glean some information, though. The golden sphere that led me here has disappeared. And what's more, the sky portal has changed. It's hard to explain exactly, but there's more to it now. Like the magic around the portal has intensified.

Day 12

I think more of the legion must be in the area, and they must've followed another golden sphere. I can only see one flittering through the sky now, and just like what happened after the first sphere vanished, the sky portal grew in size after the second vanished, too. It's huge now, truly astounding to behold. Astounding and terrifying.

Day 13

Something's happening. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to keep this up. The last golden sphere disappeared from the sky, and now the sky portal is growing, changing, coming alive. I don't know what's going on. I fear for my life. The ground all around me is shaking. Something fell out of the portal. Something big is here.

I don't want to be here anymore. I need to get out of here. What was I thinking, sticking my nose where it doesn't belong? I'm go
