Dear Journal,
Well, I was right. We did go in to Tinto. Of course, Sierra and Kahn had to come along. Poor Viktor, I think that guy has got to learn his manners. First the Star Dragon Sword gets mad at him, and now Sierra told him to go first to "investigate" what was making the weird noise in the back of the cave. Sometimes I feel sorry for him. I feel sorry for Flik too, having to go around with him all the time. Just kidding, I love both of them. They're company is really wonderful. Anyway, we went through the old mine and ended up coming through the mine entrance of Tinto. There were zombies EVERYWHERE. Gross, good riddance, let me die when I die and not become one of those things. So we looked for Neclord's hiding place. Well, it wasn't exactly hidden…it was more like the biggest place in town, figures. So we waltzed inside and beat him up. Then Viktor finally got his revenge on the old vampire and Sierra got the 'Blue Moon' Rune back. So all is well back here in Tinto, we're supposed to return back to the castle tomorrow. Until then!
Dear Journal,
We made it back to headquarters today. Shu had nothing planned for us (wow, that's a new one) so we're allowed to rest today. It's amazing that the war is still going on. To think…that Luca Blight is dead…and everything is still moving like that never happened. What's this world coming to? Well, Nanami is bugging me to go for a walk with our time off. I guess I'll go with her. After all, it might be nice to walk around South Window and Kuskus for a change.
Dear Journal,
We ran into the most unexpected person today in Kuskus Town. We ran into Culgan, leader of the 3rd company in Highland. He came with a formal peace offering from King Jowy Blight of Highland. Jowy…what could he be thinking? Was he really going to end this war like this? I believed that he wouldn't do anything…but to end it like this was so sudden. Could another peace treaty really be made at this time? How many of them have been broken…how many disputes have we had? Well…there's no choice but to go. If this is the one chance I'll have to end the war, I'll take it.
Dear Journal,
We'll leave today. I'll tell you if the war has finally ended or not. Whether it does or doesn't, I know there will still be a war going on inside of me.
Dear Journal,
So, my feelings were right. It didn't end…in fact, it could have had a bitter end. If Shu didn't send Viktor and Flik to come and save us…Jowy would've killed us. Maybe it's Leon Silverburg's fault…but…no, I can't blame him. Something happened to Jowy. Something about him…changed. He's…he's not the same Jowy I used to know…but his fondness for Pilika…maybe there is still some hope. Shu, he had to send Pilika in. Nanami is upset for his decision…but it was for me. Really, maybe if I did die, things would be better. I can't think right now…I have to go and rest.
Dear Journal,
In an effort to make me feel better, Miklotov and Camus made breakfast in Hai-Yo's kitchen. It was a good effort…but I don't think I'm going to feel much better now. They're really nice people…but…oh…they should stick to sword fighting…I think I'm going to be sick…
Dear Journal,
After getting over that, life is pretty normal here. Highland hasn't made any sudden movements yet, so we haven't either. So far we've been reacting to whatever Highland does. So…maybe Shu is planning to make a move sometime…we'll need to make a distraction somehow. I don't know what Shu is thinking, but that's to my advantage. After all, if I knew what Shu was thinking, well…so would Leon Silverburg. I place complete trust in Shu, I wonder what he'll do.
