Journal Entry 574 I know something terrible has happened.
A great wash of
gloom has penetrated deep within me. It is because
of this
formidable feeling that I have not written a journal
in some time. I
cannot tell if it has been one day or ten days since
I linked to
Gaelin. Since then I have only slept in this bed, trying
to shake off the
despair that has overtaken my mind. At first
I feared the
worst. I now know that the worst is unimaginable.
Father was taking me to my next lessons within our library when it appeared. From our view of K'veer, a
monstrous cloud began to lick it's way from the rock walls and oust itself towards the city. We could hear other people
shouting within D'ni as men and women within the cloud fell to the ground. Father looked me into the eyes said I must
link to Gaelin. He was going to get mother, and meet me back in the age. To this day I wait for him. Although I realize what this great feeling of dread is. I have lost my family, friends, and even those I did not know, but one day might have. Journal Entry 575 Today I have decided to get out fight this futile depression that
has tried to take control of me. I will live on.
And forever carry
out the memory of those I loved.
I stepped outside to breathe
in the air and take in the beauty of
this age for the first time since my arrival. Father
has never taken
me here, I believe it to be one of his works in progress.
Even the
cave which I linked to was not up to D'ni standard.
The main island is extremely small.
Although, I can see
another larger island from afar, I do not know if it
is inhabited.
Last night I believe that I saw lights, and could almost
make out the
sounds of chanting... All these days in the darkness
of the cabin
may be getting to me.
Journal Entry 576 These obstinate fish refuse to be eaten! My attempts to catch even a single fish have ended with no success. With my horrible fishing skills, and my fresh water running low, I am afraid that I will soon be pushed back into D'ni to confront my fears. Journal Entry 577
There are natives on the other
island. Apparently the noises
and lights were not just my imagination. I'm not sure if they want to
help me or cook me.
Journal Entry 578 They want to help me. The natives
know that I was in need of help.
My emotional sickness must have been very obvious in
my tattered state.
Journal Entry 579
I made a trip back to the main island
by myself today to
retrieve the linking book back to D'ni, for my own studies.
On the way to the
bridge controls I discovered a native sneaking about my room!
Journal Entry 1253
I cannot find any of my newer
journals, so I'll have to settle
for using this old one... Simply flipping through these pages brings to life memories of when Noira and I first met... But I stray from the importance of today's events! ![]() |
