"Three days have passed since I fished out the stiffened body of the fabled Undying. Or at least I believe it has been three days. Maybe four. It is quite hard to tell in this deplorable weather.
Anyway…
I've been very eager to study this strange man and finally unearth the truth of what makes him so delightfully cryptic. Unfortunately, his body still remains frozen solid after having spent several hours, if not days, submerged in the icy waters of the shelf and the cold climate doesn't help at all. I was afraid of damaging or snapping any body parts while trying to bring him inside my cabin. It was rather challenging when I had to carefully take off all of his damp clothes and gear from his scarred, astonishingly well-built body… For treating his hypothermia and making a further close examination, of course.
I left him resting on the sofa nearby the fireplace, all wrapped up in a blanket in hopes of accelerating the thawing process. But time went on and I nearly lost hope halfway through after not seeing any progress in his recovery other than noticing how his pale skin started to gather a thin, slimy film like a decomposing fish. I was starting to believe that maybe all these tales of a monster-man that could never die were all drunken stories told by the delusional people of this planet. It wouldn't be surprising, but certainly it would have been greatly disappointing.
The only thing that kept me holding onto hope was watching the tip of his tail which continued to glimmer weakly like the dim rump of a firefly. Difference was that now it did with a slightly brighter intensity, taking me to my first curious observation; he possesses natural bio-luminescence and there is a possibility that he can control it similar to that of a deep sea creature. Truly fascinating, really.
But that is about as much change in his state there is. He will remain under observation. I strongly believe that I will be witness of something extraordinary once he comes to. That is if he doesn't kill me first, that's for sure."
