Late Spring 14th, 1132
Today I dreamed of Kaeman. I dreamed that he was in pain. I miss his company, his voice, his love. He is counting on me, I know it. I have been working on deciphering the scroll for 17 years since his capture. I now know the basics of how it functions. In short, it allows the user to become invisible to all known forms of magic, allowing them to pass through any barrier undetected.
Obviously he meant to use this in the event of his capture, but I don't think he is able to cast the spell in the state he is in. I will have to do it for him. I must find someone capable of using this spell to break him free, someone who maybe, is curious about dark magic.
Late Spring 28th, 1132The last few days I have spent at the academy in the courtyards, observing the students to find a suitable candidate for the use of the scroll. A suitable candidate quickly rose out of the crowd, a troubled youth who I frequently observed staring towards the Vault where Kaeman's spells are kept. The dean seems to have taken a liking to him, being somewhat of a father figure since the youth had lost his parents in Kaeman's siege.
I must continue to observe him to decide if he is the right choice. I only get one chance at this, I have to be careful.
Early Summer 12th, 1132
Today I decided that it is time to enact my plan. I had a conversation with the youth from the previous entry, and it is clear that he is the perfect choice. From the conversation I learned that he has an interest in dark magic, he wants to learn about it to help him understand what killed his parents. He has become frustrated with the Academy and its staff for not allowing him to access the Vault, and surely he would be willing to use the scroll.
Tonight I will slip the scroll under his door, and after that, I can only hope...
