Rowan's Diary

An entry in Rowan's diary which was found  right near the willow tree, wide open.

Dear Diary,
      If the world were made differently would he have still abandoned us to go his own way? Leaving us in a pile of ashes? Why would a father disappear off the face of the world? And never come back, there was no body where the staff was lain.... And I don't understand why Casteil would lie and take the staff for his own. For I made that staff for my father.... The staff had intertwining thorns of a rose.....and now everything's coming clear I have to go find my brother, and no time like the present. I guess I'm going to take the staff with me too, might need it, after all, it should bend to my will, since I'm the one who made it! Maybe then I can find some answers.


Rowan,
Signing off for the last time!
