Diaries of a Seer

by Kurogane7

A diary detailing an Eldar's training as a Warlock under the watch of the Seer Council, and starts gaining relationships on his way to becoming a Farseer. My first story here, and the first one to be written in the style of a diary. Reviews would be nice. DISCONTINUED

Day 11

Dear Diary,

Today began the training for all Warlocks in the regular art of combat. Because we are going to be commanders of our own squadrons, we are expected to be at least well-versed in the use of a Shuriken Weapon, and are to be trained in the use of the Witchblade and Singing Spear in addition to our studies in psyker powers. As I sat in the orientation room, I heard a call on the auditorium for me…from Farseer Lira. I wondered what she wanted from me as I walked towards her quarters—in any case, I found it as my opportunity to properly thank her for her pointers.

As I stepped in front of her door, I was halted by her bodyguards, and they requested to leave my Witchblade with them. I acquiesced, and they allowed me in, with Farseer Lira sitting at her desk with a bowl on top of it next to a bag of Spirit Stones with a rune inscribed on each one. In front of her sat another Warlock—I believe her name was Anya. She was a member of the upper-middle class, and I could tell, because she was a bit more fit than Farseer Lira, and had a slightly tanner hue to her skin as opposed to Lira being a member of the aristocracy through and through looking more dainty and with paler skin.

"Tyr'an, Anya, I'm sure you two have met before," said Lira, "in any case, I have wanted to meet the two of you in private. You have both claimed to see something in my future, and that is something I wish to test for myself. Anya, you've claimed to have foreseen an attack by the forces of Chaos on this very craftworld. Tyr'an here had seen my demise at the hands of an Imperial Inquisitor in golden Terminator armor. I want to take you both under my wing, as you both have the potential to become Farseers. You will both report directly to me from tomorrow morning forward. You are both dismissed."

I could not believe it…Farseer? Not even I could understand the potential upon hearing it. And Anya will be the second Warlock to be under the tutelage of Farseer Lira—one rumor I've heard about her family is that they are not allowed to take in students unless they are going to be placed in the "Dome of Crystal Seers". Even as I thought back to that rumor, I began to wonder; are we prepared to lose another Farseer like we have with Farseer Ulthran?
