So, this is kind of a weird slightly dramatic story I've been playing around with. It's not done yet. Takes place around 15 years after whenever the story ends. It's Fighter's journal after he's matured a little.

Doesn't sound so immature nor is it so poorly spelled... But whatever.

October 19th, 1:30 PM
How long has it been since I wrote in this journal? ... I suppose it must be 15 years by now. The last time was the night before it all happened. It still hurts to think about what happened the day that Black Mage tried to end the world. The day I killed him.

It's seems about time I started writing again.

I became a royal knight under King Steve for saving the world after I came back to Corneria. A few years ago, I was promoted; I'm now the Knight Captain. It's a pretty good job... I get to spar with the other knights and teach the new recruits about sword-fighting. I feel a little like Vargus. I've tried to teach the other knights about sword-chucks, but none of them seem willing to try it. Just like the other Light Warriors...

Red Mage is the head of the Red Wizard guild now. He's working to become a sage or something. He's got loads of apprentices and students under him, learning about balance and versatility and magic. I don't see him often as I would like; The last time I saw him was around a year and a half ago. Though he did say there was going to be a guild tower opening up in Corneria pretty soon. Maybe I'll be able to see him more often.

Red Mage has been using a cane since after the battle. Black Mage pretty much shattered the bones in his right leg with some kind of pressure magic. Even with healing magic, it was never quite the same and he still limps pretty badly. Red Mage prefers to call it a staff rather than a cane, though. He's supposed to be an all-powerful mimic/wizard, after all.

Thief was also badly hurt in the battle. It was a few minutes before I faced Black Mage. Thief was bleeding so much... I saw some law-ninja appear and take him into the shadows. They all disappeared after that. I don't know if he still lives.

Elfland has become even more isolationist in the past decade. There's been no news from there in years... Some kind of barrier of trees and vines grew around the border of the country a few weeks after I returned to Corneria. They say it's impenetrable. The dwarves' new cannons and rifles can't break down the barrier and the vines attack if you go too far into the barrier forest. I remember. Yesterday, I received a message from Red Mage. He says that he and some of his high-level students will be coming into the kingdom today. It seems about time to go meet him. I guess I'll continue this later.

October 19th, 10:30 PM

I had a full day with Red Mage. I was introduced to his students before they ran off to sight-see and look at how the guild tower is coming along. Red Mage looks... older. He's almost 44 now, I think. Maybe it's just because we go so long without seeing each other, it's a shock to see how we've changed. He's got lines in his face... At least his hair isn't going grey since it was white to begin with. I wonder how much older I look to him...

Apparently, Red Mage's here not to check on the guild tower only. There's supposed to be some kind of "meeting of the nations" or something in a few weeks. It'll be on some magic-made island that's a few miles south of Onrac. "Neutral grounds," Red Mage called it. He's here so he can talk to King Steve about the Cornerian transportation; whether or not they want to use a boat or want to be teleported in. Red Mage thinks I might be going with them, being the Knight Captain and all. I hope so, actually. Besides the countries, there will also

be a few of the wizard orders and guilds. I might be able to speak to one of the White Wizards if they know whatever happened to White Mage.

I wonder if anyone from Elfland will be there. Red Mage said he didn't know and we dropped the subject. He hasn't heard from Thief either. I think that kinda made him feel bad, since Thief and him were sort of friends.

He would feel bad if Thief was dead. He might feel worse of Thief is alive.

Red Mage and me spent some time in a pub, reminiscing about old times. It was actually kind of difficult, seeing as I didn't want to talk about Black Mage and Red Mage didn't want to talk about Thief.

It's getting late now. Red Mage is staying in the castle guest quarters. Hopefully I'll be able to find out more about the "meeting of the nations" thing tomorrow.

I like it Skit, I like it. It does feel like a rather depressing time. That's the style I like...drama, fear, sadness...

Poor Fighter...poor Thief...

Part 2...

October 20th, 11:00 am

This morning, Queen Jayne spoke to me about the meeting thing. She wants me and my two strongest knights to come along as guards during the meeting. I've decided to bring Biggs and Wedge. They were the first recruits I trained when I became captain. I taught them everything I know and I'm sure they'll be able to do a good job.

Princess Sara is set to take over as ruler of the kingdom soon. She's as lovely as ever... but I don't think I should be writing about that here. It seems a little... not right to think about the princess like that. I'm sure when she takes over she'll be a wonderful queen. She won't be coming along on the trip, since the king and queen want to give her some practise ruling on her own. I was a little worried about leaving her with only the young knights, but she has her own private guard. I'm sure she'll be okay.

The King decided that we would be going by boat. He says he doesn't trust the magic teleportation or something. The queen looked a little ticked off, but she didn't say anything. This means we'll have to leave tomorrow in order to get to the island on time. Red Mage told me the Order of the White Wizards is whose actually holding the event. At least now I know that somebody there will be able to tell me about White Mage.

October 26th, 3:00 pm

I couldn't write on the boat. Every time I tried, I ended up feeling seasick. I didn't use to feel sick when I was writing on a boat, but I do now. Maybe it's just part of getting older.

The island is mostly taken up by some kind of weird circular castle. It's got 8 towers around it. Every country visiting gets one. I'm staying in the Corneria tower, on the floor below the King and Queen's floor. I guess so I can protect them if somebody tries to attack or assassinate them. Right now, I'm in the big circular lobby. It's all open to the outside and I can see the docks clearly where the boats have been coming in. The teleport stones are right next to the bench I'm sitting on.

The Queen and King are talking to some of the other representatives. The Prime Minister or Onrac is talking to the king and is looking a little frustrated about whatever they're talking about. Not that I can blame him. King Steve can be confusing at times.

I can see the King of Dwarfland just arrived by boat. Everyone could only bring three guards each. I'm sure the dwarf king would have brought his whole army if he could. They might be bored, since Elfland is completely blocked off and hasn't attacked in so long. Red Ma...

October 26th, 3:05 pm

Thief is here. He's alive....
He saw me when he came in, but he didn't say anything or even look like he recognized me. I... I need to talk to Red Mage.

Seran · 04-06-2006, 05:31 AM

Wow...it all feels so sad. It makes me once again aware of what tragedies a child can face when they mature, when they've already faced enough humiliation and anger...

That's the feeling I get when I read my own journal.

DarkCORN! · 04-06-2006, 04:03 PM

When I read my journal, I get depressed and think "Why does it all matter? My memories suck.". Then I write about it in my journal.
