Savage Tide: ECL 12 Aconitum Bane: Sorcerer 6 Swiftblade 6: Entry 6

Its been a while since I have had any time to reflect on my thoughts it feels like lately. So after the invasion, we went back and got the Fonico. However, something about myself just didn't feel right.
What was I doing with my life?
So over the last few months I have been trying to find myself. With the Abyssal Hate that started within me, I have tried different paths to include hand to hand combat, and all sorts of other 'adventures'... I realized life is too short.
I started using any means I could to go faster and faster until I realized it has been having some other effects on my body. At first the haste spell speed me up and I could get more things done. Then after the spell wore off, my body became adjusted to some of the effects..... I was getting faster.
So I have now combined my sorcery and hand to hand combat I have dabbled in to now find a way to live two complete lives in one lol.
I recall a story when I was younger of a God, Chronepsis.... he was neither good nor bad, never spoke, and respected by all. It was said that he sits inside his cave, knowing everything, walking the halls of his caverns that are lined with hourglasses. Each hourglass represents the lifespan of a dragon... I wonder if its only dragons he watches? I think I will seek more about this god.
With this great speed I think I got ahead of myself earlier today. You know slay a few monsters here and there. Hooked Horrors, so massive in size, still were too slow to hit me. Same went for the vine monster on the roof that tried to hit me.
What got me in trouble.. a magic deck of cards. In my haste I pulled three cards from this magic deck. I don't know but the deck spoke to me, not verbally, but I felt like it bestowed some knowledge to me. I could sense it was trying to warn me of some impeding danger in my future. In the end it said one thing that rang out to me....Orcus. I stepped back from the deck and dropped it on the ground. I recall other stories of Orcus... and with the abyssal hate that grew within me from my past... I knew it was nothing compared to the feeling of hate Orcus could hold for his enemies.
As soon as the deck dropped to the floor, a brilliant flash of light erupted in front of me. When I opened my eyes, dressed in armor and brandishing a large shield and sword, a knight knelt before me.
He said it name was Ord and that he was there to serve me and help protect me. He pledged his loyalty to me in front of me... then I got a flash of fear within me.... all I could think about was the name Orcus.
I feel that something bad is coming for me. I have no time to waste!
