Little Stained Black Book

[INKachu]

(( To keep things organized and legible, I made each post a page. A page in the book isn't that big, I try to keep a consistent post size, and one page can cover multiple days, or half a day. They're only notes meant for Alizarin herself. ))

*A very small pocket sized journal; worn, stained, wrinkled, and repaired. None of the pages are double-sided, as ink on both sides would make it more illegible. Inside is rough writing in black, with the exception of the letters, a code only the creator understands written in red.*

*Page 1*

Q, C, K, X

Do not Trust.
Do not Forget.
Do not Forgive.
Do not Fail.
Do not Love.

*Page 2, names scribbled in to be darker. Letters/Symbols are still written in red ink.*

Undead - Bad.
Unaffected by my attacks from behind.
Strong, for something that died already.
My weapons don't seem to do anything.

Koriquellen - fighter, axe
Quiet, very quiet. To the point, gets the job done.
Respectable.

Requested. Slight Challenge.

Nidual
Mysterious, serious, dressed in grays and darks.
Powerful, very powerful. Useful.
*We travelled for quite some time together.

Goblins
Difficult alone, I've faced near death and death itself.
Suddenly, my existence seems so insignificant.
Vulnerable to my attacks,
can be dealt with swiftly if I'm not targeted.
Useful. Great training.

*Possesses strong stealth magic.
Treated to a room in the inn.
We exchanged stories. I'm not alone.
She's promised,... *a few scribbles*
She told me she may be able to help me.

Never forget those who helped you.
I will join them. Nidual can help. Help her.
I fear nothing but the lack of change.

Nidual and I continue to journey.
Satyrs are tough in groups, but alone,

Satyrs
I was told not to disturb their work.
Ha. Fun and good for training,
I've learned much, I feel stronger.
I hesitate a lot less, even to creatures
who are far larger than me.
Hesitation is weakness.

This is what I've been looking for.

*a scribble*
Her essence is exhilerating.
I admire her. There is much respect.
Do not put down your guard.
But... she might have the answers.
Nidual - Q

Boat to isle, isle to boat.

*Page 5*

A shrouded man shows threat,
or did he mean to show kindness?

So many faces. Nidual and I are separated,
for once in what seems like a long time.
She's off to the isles, list -

• A beautiful blond girl, I believe named Zarianna.
  Shows potential in leadership. Hm. K
  
• Endrahila - Did not communicate much,
  fighter, relatively strong, K
  
• Marec - Strong, generous, fighter,
  Could be useful. C
  
• Aylana - Bard, nice songs,
  It's been so long, hasn't it? K.
  
• Razeriem, Raz - Kind, Charming, has his way with words.
  Don't be deceived, though he's saved my life multiple times.
  Very powerful. Seek again. Point of Interest

At last, with this group,
I obtained the head of the Red Light Goblin leader,
a moment I had been waiting for.
The reward was great.

Nidual and I crossed the waters to a
land of desert. We met with a trainer-
a powerful magic user whose name I
don't know, and a cleric.

I've never felt this powerful. They created spells
which made me feel like a god to what we fought.
I've gained much training, at first hordes of ants,
and then some ogres. I have never witnessed
so much power. Find them again,
they may be able to help. Contact Nidual.

Elgon
Enjoys rain, smiles a lot.
Very friendly nature.
Possibly gives trust easily.
A druid? Servant of Great Oak,
Last seen headed to Hempstead,

I have never been so cold. Nidual and I,
originally met to slay more Satyrs.
Something about their blood is satisfying.
I never used to enjoy slaying, though I wouldn't
feel any sorrow for the creatures I killed, but
now it's much different. Has something changed?

There is a pleasure in being undetected,
then surprising the opponent with a lethal hit.
This is how you know you've gotten better.
This is it.

We then met up with three strangers,
and headed across the waters, to cold lands.
Another dark elf, a hooded woman, and
a strong man named,

Mael - Fighter,
 Impressive armor, a tad intimidating.
 Why was I intimidated?
 If I had the strength, the experience,
would it be different?
 Work on it.
 - K

Very strong spells, destroyed many kobolds.
Should I have invested my time in magic?
Perhaps there's a magic to stealth.
A magic to darkness, ... still need to seek them.
