"I sense it. I know it… it's here. I can't see it, but I feel it. Shadows stir in the corner of my vision, like it's waiting, watching, but there is never anything there. It is starting to cloud my mind, consume my thoughts… every whisper, every breeze… is this how Kalona felt, always on guard. I can see now… how easily that would drive a person insane. I am starting to fear for my own sanity…."
"The first death occurred today. I saw it happen, and I was powerless to stop it. Her screams will forever haunt me. I tried, but I couldn't save her… because I wasn't enough. I heard the darkness laugh, I know I did, it was amused, it was pleased…. then it left… I feel like it took a piece of me with it."
"She is lost without him, my lady, my dearest companion, I feel her drifting away without him… no matter how many times I reach, it seems I'm not strong enough, not enough to pull her back. She wants him… Why? Why wish for the creature who has caused so much pain… I need to be more like him… make her happy… keep my distance…."
"I spent more and more time away from her. Distract myself, keep my mind, my body busy, as it is so hard not to go running back to comfort her. I have better… more important matters to attend to now… I must be ready, I must be prepared. I am all they have now… I will not let them down anymore."
"He is not coming back. Every time I watch him it gets worse… he is losing himself, every part of him that once made him our greatest hero, crumbling away with every passing day. She fear he may never return… But I refuse to give up hope, she doesn't understand him like me… I know there is good in there, I feel it, I sense it, through the very link that connects us, the link he had long since shunned. I will not give up. He will be home…. one day… He will find his way home."
