Dear Diary
August is dead. I don’t know what else I can say. What could I possibly say? I didn’t even get to tell him goodbye. The last words I think I said to him were about the trunk of a tree....a tree!
It all started after the coronation of the new King. He announced that all of the Norben Brotherhood members were to be expelled from Lunar Island. By sunset of the following morning we were to be gone…needless to say we are still here.
We set off again searching for the princess. There is an old legend about finding a princess below the water of life so that’s where we went looking. He ended up finding these tracks around a hollowed tree. There was as a hidden door and we decided to all go down to explore. Well, we were ambushed. There were Orcs, Humans, and Elves. It’s all like a blur to me now. I remember though that we were hit with a giant fireball. It burned the armor my father gave me, my pack, and the leather band that covered my tattoo. Brendon ran in charging and I couldn’t let him go in alone so I followed. I’m not sure what happened after that, it all happened so fast, but I went down. When I woke up I was laying beside the pool of life. An Orc rose up out of the water and he was violently pulled apart by the magical force of the pool. August and Brendon are dead. I’m not sure exactly what happened but I know that I should still be down in that dreadful cave with them. D’Ellis, my love, risked his life to save me. Tekhtarast says that he ran into a pack of Orcs and with a few tumbling moves he cut me free from the weight of my Lunar Bow and he threw me over his shoulder. They ran to the water and we somehow traveled through the pool. It brought me to life I suppose. I don’t really know what happened; I think I’d rather not know, at least for now. The Blue Lady arrived and told us the Fey Blessing has been revoked. She was angered by the Death near the waters but I didn’t really manage to catch the rest, I was still shaken and in much pain. The next thing I remember was looking August. I never found him.
Why did this have to happen? He had so much life left in him. I just don’t understand.
I can’t believe that I’ll never see him again. He is, was my best friend. Why did this happen? Why do I loose everyone I care about?
This just makes me want to keep running, running from everything I’ve ever loved and everything I’ve ever feared,
but I’m so tired. I'm just so tired...
