Has come out of retirement as our austere Craft Master Utoxin has taken ill and gone to Southern. Or something like that, he's not at the Ista Dolphin Hall for whatever reason at any rate. We've been working very hard to straighten out the mess that Sarin and Shimmer made of things, while Masters Tadiera and Casiys have seemingly dropped from the face of the planet. Jathen isn't best pleased by all the changes taking place, but on the other hand he has his own life to worry with. Jessa is less than enthusiastic with the changes, though she isn't fighting about them either.

Which brings me to Shadis. He's off on one of his jaunts to who knows where. He'll be alright, he always is, but it does get aggravating to have him just disappear like that without letting someone know that he's going.

Gripes done and aside, we have two new apprentices. Cameron who is from somewhere on Ista Island, I believe. Khalylai is a transfer from Southern. I'd like to peg her down sometime and find out just how much she knows. Congratulations go out to our three newest Senior Apprentices; Jestyn, Syzygy, and Flynnesin. Flynnesin has been tapped by Rynna as her apprentice, and I'm considering tapping Jestyn and Syzygy.

Dolphin news; the dolphin pod has finally stopped growing. But some of the older dolphins have complained of wanting to Sleep as opposed to sleep. I think we'll be seeing some dolphin deaths in the not so distant future.
