August 02nd 2005

I'm sorry to betray the persons I most trust, Hikari, Patamon and Takeru. But it's time to fulfill my promise to Gennai. I've to "borrow" Hikari's, Takeru's and Ken's D3. They must not be able to enter the DW. Upon this fact depends their lives and also mine. I also know that time runs short and we all have to get our training. While this training we all lose our memories (somehow I'm looking forward to this, I HAVE memories I want to forget...) And these memories are the main reason for my nightmares the last few days; it's about my darkest secret, a secret which climaxed in the death of my first love...
----------
Mission complete, I've got all D3s but I had to capture my Pata, I had no choice either hurting or capturing him or try to explain why I steal Takeru's D3 without causing him too much pain, he's not ready yet and this knowledge could destroy him... I hope Takeru will find him soon, I don't like him suffer... I hope *he* will forgive me sometime when he knows all facts.
----------
I've contacted Gennai, I shall enter the DW and prepare myself for the soul-mission. Somehow it's funny, myself on a soul-mission with a broken soul... I'm looking forward seeing Illusio again although he will never remember our past relation, but I think slowly I accept the fact that old Illusio died for giving me a second chance... BTW. I protect this note, noone shall read it too soon.

Day 01 - Unknown
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was half an hour ago when a blue-eyed, blonde boy awoke me. First I saw were him, a flying hamster, and a brown-eyed, brunette girl (which seems very familar...) I also noticed something strange about the girl and the *hamster*. First I feel a bond between the girl and me and second I feel a familar presence in the *hamster* (I remember the name "Illusio"). Surprisingly we all have a sort of amnesia, we can only remember anything not older than one or two hours. We named us each other, my name's "Angie", the boy's "Keru", the girl's "Hika" and the *hamster*'s "Illusio". BTW. The *Illusio* looks very cute...
I try not to write too much, it's difficult with paws instead of hands... Near us we found a staff, a bow and two pads (Here are our journals stored...)
-----
After looking for something to eat we only found vegetables which Keru cooked. I don't really like vegetables but either this or starve...
-----
Half an hour rest and then it began, monsters, flying shade, approached and tried to hurt/kill us. Thanks to Keru we still live, but it was enfeebling for him. Knowing that it's a matter of time the rest of us tried to figure attack-/defense-skills out. Mine are non-armed attacks, Hika's the bow, she shoots arrows of light with it, the only one without any weapon is Illusio. Somehow I feel sorry for him, he looks disappointed not able to help us fighting...
-----
A short time later the monsters appeared again and the battle lasted for about three hours. Poor Illusio, You needn't to be a psyciatrist to notice that he feels useless... If there would be a way to comfort him...
We started to check our neighbourhood and found "the perfect place" for our camp. It's a lake with a cave nearby and many sources of food. It's nearly perfect. We decided to take night-shifts. Illusio was the first and took the worst shift of all, perhaps he found a way to help the others. I claimed the second worst, the best are for the two humans (the first for Hika and the last for Keru). After that I looked for a place to rest and I found one near Illusio...
-----
I woke up noticing Hika laying her hand on my shoulder, she didn't really start to wake me, it seems that I have a very easy rest... The shift wasn't really exciting... At shift turn I tried to wake Illusio, but it was nearly an impossible mission. At last I had only two not noisy possibilities, either use cold water of the lake or kiss him. For everyone else I would chose the first, but for him, I kissed him on his cheek. I wished this could last much longer... But now he was awake and a bit surprised... I said something about two choices, I cannot resolve exactly...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 02 - Angie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yep, we have a training or better it looks like one : 2h battle, 1h rest, 2h battle, 2h rest (for lunch), 4h battle and the rest free for us... These battles were exactly a copy of the last day's...
I think Illusio has found a way to help us, he behaves now like our servant, I'm proud of him... Before one of the humans was able to chose a shift, Illusio and I announced to reverse the shifts. Today is first Keru, followed by Illusio and then me. Last but not least is Hika...
----------
After my shift I decided to sleep near Illusio, being near him works better than hot milk to calm me...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 03-07 - Angie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nothing real changed. Everyday the same procedure. Now we decided to take everyday a bath in the lake, but I hate baths, I cannot still believe that Illusio managed to get me into the water... Somehow I like it, especially swimming with Illusio... Do I have some feelings for him ? I cannot say...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 08 - Angie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The monster's got bigger and stronger, but nothing else happened today...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 09-13 - Angie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I feel something, Illusio changed a bit, he got stronger, he nearly explodes full of energy... I cannot say, it's a matter of time till something happens...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 14 - Angie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a day of surprises. First a bad, the monsters gained power and were nearly able to kill us. But then the second surprise happened, Illusio changed into another form, an angel-form (I hope he's my angle...). He's now able to fire bolts of light, and this attack seems very powerful, it destroyed several monsters completely. His mood also changed, I think he lost his feeling of being useless... And again I'm proud of him, he found his way... After the fight he became the old flying hamster again, he said that the other form costs too much energy... Perhaps I can also transform into another being...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 15-19 - Angie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since now the angle is *his* fighting-form. I notice a lot of energy transfered between Hika and me, I'm not sure how to use it yet, but I think I'll learn soon enough... Except this nothing real important happened....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 20 - Angie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today was my day to surprise the others... I finally found my way to use this energy, and now I'm able to transform in an angel-form too. But my powers aren't offensive, I only posess defensive like creating an energy-shield blocking physical and elemental attacks. I also have a healing-skill, I can use mine and the victim's own energy to create another kind of energy, which heals the victim within seconds. (My victim was here Keru who slipped and badly injured his leg...)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 21-24 - Angie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The monsters got more powerful and we don't longer have the first break... The rest is the same procedure like the days before...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 25 - Angie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Poor Illusio, after the monsters gaining again new powers his attacks were useless. I thought he would release his energies and become again the flying hamster, but he surprised us all with changing into a mage who is able to modify the reality with illusions (not real practial in these fights, but I think a very powerful skill). He's also able to shoot small bolts of elemental attacks. I think in his coat he looks very cool...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 26-31 - Angie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's the same procedure again... BTW. I think *he* likes me....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 32 - Angie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a gruel night for our two humans, they both had real nightmares (although they were unable to remember much). It was impossible to wake them, so we decided to let them sleep and take their shifts...
This morning was different than the lasts, there were no enemies anymore. Keru said something about *we are expected* and I think he's right. Before leaving we all decided to take a bath again to get rid of the last fight's dirt.
-----
The travel was mysterious, I never traveled this way. It was only one step, but between this step were thousands of miles (are we in the same world ???). We arrived at a house which was built inside a lake, infront of this house was a familar looking monk. I think I know him and that we may trust him although he never says the whole truth... While talking to him You should read between the phrases, especially about this he doesn't talk about... He talked about finishing our first training (a memory appeared : "soul-quest"), that we have to return home and that we will regain our memories when we arrive. Our last day's memories will then fade away like a dream... The next days are for us as a vacation and then we have to continue our "mission"... (What mission ? What is he hiding ? Why have *we* to fight ? All these questions were in my mind, but I cannot ask...) BTW. He said also something about another person who was training, a guy called Ken...
