Journal # I
So… new journal. New situation, new journal. At least, that's the way I see it. I mean, it's not like I'm ever gonna get off Ibara, and I threw my ring away, so this is just for me. More of a diary than anything else, really. I want to write down my thoughts.
And I've had a lot to think about.
I've been helping the people of Ibara to rebuild-trashing the dado parts and making sure any last bits of tak are gone. But the more we rebuild, the more I wonder if I did the right thing. Was it right of me to mix the territories? I mean, sure, Dane's trapped here and we've technically won, but what about the other territories? What about the newly unearthed tak mines on Denduron? What about Quillan, where as far as I can tell we straight up lost? What about everyone on Second Earth?
Did the end really justify the means?
I feel so helpless here, like I've been cut off from the world. And I am-I cut myself off.
Was it the right choice?
I started seeing Dane around a few days back. At least, I was pretty sure it was him. I'm pretty sure there aren't many ravens here, and a big one had started handing around the shoreline. Every time I see it, I throw rocks at it until it goes away, but then every day, he's back again.
I'm debating confronting him, but what would I say? What would he say? Would he admit defeat? Would he try to fight? I can't even figure out what he's doing out on the beach every day.
There's more important things to do now, though. We're still rebuilding, and there's not much damage Saint Dane can do here, other than making my life a living hell. For the safety of the universe, I can put up with that.
