But the weird thing is, Mayor Lewis seemed pretty reluctant to talk about Mr. Terraria. He seemed kind of afraid actually... which sounded kinda sussy? I'm sure it's nothing though. I know The Mayor was doing his tasks in electrical. I bet John must have been the imposter.

YEAR 1 SPRING DAY 9

Dear Diary,

I told everyone who would listen what had happened to us.

But nobody believed me! Do these stupid townspeople even care?! Mayor Lewis asked me if I was doing drugs! Even when I brought Abby to testify with me, he just said something about how the deed to the land was rightfully passed down to John, and nobody could do anything about it!

It pisses me off so much. So John inherited some land nearby from Grandpappy Terraria and now he gets to just do whatever he wants? Honestly, if me and Abby didn't manage to escape, then we might still be at the bottom of the mines, stuck in a tiny little box! That's super dangerous!

... am I supposed to just forgive and forget? Honestly this is so annoying. If we had police in this town, I definitely would have called them, but we don't.

You know, Maybe Marlon from The Adventurers Guide can help me out. He's an old guy, but apparently he's really strong, right?

He might be able to teach this John guy a lesson!

Maybe scare him out of town for good!

YEAR 1 SPRING DAY 10

Dear Diary,

He... He doesn't sleep. I'm not sure if he's even human anymore. He's always clad in that suit of armour and his figure looks like a man's, but I'm telling you, he moves like an animal. It's unnatural! I'm being honest. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if I pulled off his armour and all that's inside is black goo.

Anyways, until now I was pretty sure he was just some psychopath really strong dude... but it looks like I'm wrong. It was three in the morning when I heard scratching on the roof last night. I thought our cat got stuck there or something, so I walked outside to check what it was.

John. Terraria. was. on. our. roof.

He was stripping the shingles off the top of our house, and he didn't even care that I was watching! I... should I have yelled at him? I don't know. I was honestly just terrified. I had watched him rip apart the skeletons in The Mines with his bare hands. I bet he could snap my neck without even trying. I just stood there like a doofus, shaking in my pajamas as John took whatever he wanted from the top of our house and hopped off the roof.

I thought I was hallucinating when I saw great wings sprout from his back to ease his landing. He looked like an angel, but the cold terror that gripped my heart as he stared at me assured me that he most certainly wasn't.

He landed in front of my house with his wings out and all of the stolen shingles bundled in his arms. Then, he and walked past me like he was daring me to say something.

I didn't say anything... of course.

The look in his eyes made it clear he didn't see me any differently than the monsters in the mines.

They got in his way. He killed them.

If I got in his way, I was certain he'd kill me.

... I don't know what to do.

YEAR 1 SPRING DAY 11

Dear Diary,

So today we had a town meeting in the square. Everyone finally noticed that their roof shingles were gone. Apparently John had gone around the entire town scraping stuff off the roofs. Robin was especially mad because she had built almost every house in the valley and painstakingly made all of the shingles out of hardwood. I knew who had taken them, but I had already raised a huge stink about John with The Mayor. I didn't want to them to say I was just out for the new guy.

But luckily, Alex was the one who spoke up. He said that John was a psychopath. He also testified that he went to check on the old farmhouse early this morning (the guy wakes up at some ungodly hour to pump iron) and saw everyone's shingles on John's roof.

So of course, the entire town takes a walk to go check (excluding Granny Evelyn and Old Man George) and just as Alex says, all of our shingles are on John's roof, just layered over each other. The guy didn't even have the decency to paint them or somehow pretend they weren't just stolen the night before! (Thankfully John wasn't there. I'm not sure if he would have hurt anyone, but its better the opportunity didn't present itself)

Naturally everybody was up in arms. They demanded Mayor Lewis go and reprimand him, and also fine him for burglary and re-installation costs.

Now, Mayor Lewis is a pretty tough old man... but remember how I said he looked scared of John when I last talked to him? He looked even more scared now. I honestly don't blame him. John's not only a psychopath, but he's also scarily strong, strong enough to go into The Mines barehanded...

I decided to pipe up and recommend that Mayor Lewis bring Marlon with him in case something happened. He thought it was a great idea.

Hopefully the old guys figure it out with John.

But instead of feeling relief, I'm kind of worried.

YEAR 1 SPRING DAY 13

Dear Diary,

Mayor Lewis is back, but Marlon is gone.

The Mayor won't say where he is, or what happened to him. He just looks even more scared. He also didn't get a single shingle back. The Townspeople are pretty mad about it and I overheard the older women talking about how they were going to kick down John's front door and demand an explanation. I honestly hope they don't. If John did to Marlon what I think he did, than there's no way four middle age moms are going to get anything out of that monster.

So...What in the world happened?! Did... Did John actually kill Marlon because they asked for the roofing shingles? I mean... its petty, but John's crazy.

I talked to Alex about it, and he thinks the same thing. The two of us went to The Adventurers Guild - up near the entrance of The Mines - to try and talk to Gil. If anyone knew where Marlon was, Gil would know - and rumor has it that Gil is even more skilled than Marlon.

On our way there, we saw something we could scarcely believe.

The lake was... gone.

It was just a pit of dried mud and dying plants. In the center was what looked to be a shaft leading straight down. We can hear the distinctive noise of rocks breaking beneath a pickaxe echoing from the depths. I'm pretty sure that must have been John... and if you don't believe me, The homeless guy who lives behind Abby's house walked up to us and told us he saw. I swear by my life that I'm quoting this exactly, "An angel wearing a suit of armour drained The lake and took all the fish! He told me he's digging his way to Hell"

Well, good grief. I hope he gets there!

Anyways, we couldn't find Gil, so we just went home.

YEAR 1 SPRING DAY 16

Dear Diary,

Today I got the gang together. Sebastian confirmed John was still hammering away at the bottom of The Lake, so we all went to John's house to investigate what he's been up to.

A couple of days ago, the entire field was fallow, just bare, ploughed dirt. But when the group of us arrived, there were all these weird herbs none of us recognized.

That wasn't the strange part though. I'm a layman concerning farming.

The strange part was above the field, there were tons of floating platforms. The highest one must have been at a hundred feet. We were all staring at them, trying to figure out what was holding them up - but for the life of us, we couldn't figure it out!

It was the strangest thing I've ever seen. I don't know what to make of it. Did he somehow build that? Ridiculous. Even if you're a monster, you still need to follow the laws of physics.

We also went into John's house... well, Abby did. She said the place was immaculate. Untouched. Not even lived in.

There was nothing in the fridge.

Did John eat?

What the hell is this guy?
