Hey there! Bit surprised on the short one on Ch.13? Not much really, but the plot will soon change. Now here's a chapter 14 from Jester's perspective. He writes down most of the things he puts into his scrolls. Inking for him is easy! The clean scrolls he manage to get from Alta, for free even. So don't worry about that part! Unfortunately, his little "diary" will be short (and bold and italic) due to lack of time. So, enjoy!

Scroll opened

I write this scroll here to tell my tales of me traveling to the outer borders of Kippernium for the first time... Well, it could be my second time since I wasn't born on Kippernia Castle. Though this is the first time I walk the steps of true adventure. I also discovered that I have mysterious powers of my own. Learning as well that Jane is much worried about the hero we are searching presently is seemingly noble, but quite unimaginable that she would put aside her true feelings. No matter, because I will be writing only when we land at a crater someplace near our destination. This is after Jane admitted that she wants no relationship with either me or Gunther at the present time.

Ugh..my ink actually won't last that long. I have to admit that finding ink in this weird land we are venturing is harder than I thought. Anyways, we are reaching some crater, near the spot where the place where the falls is located. Jane and Dragon anticipated the journey to be much shorter than they expected. I agreed with them at the time and just followed.

Its been quite a chore for me actually, I've been the most violent one to defeat any incoming enemies. Jane was slashing swords at the enemy elegantly. Dragon just clawed himself at some enemies while imagining about cows...(the poor enemies..as I might say) My magic is extremely useful, and its much easier to adapt than I had imagined. For some people takes years to master, but for me, it felt like simply singing melody. Oh..what am I saying? That is absurd.

Actually, for my magic, it might be much more than just natural talent. It seems like my powers are much easier to tap. Oddly enough is that the feelings I've been getting becomes much powerful as I use the powers. Anyways, we defeated the enemies and routed them someplace else. The place is like barren and we are quite dehydrated. Fortunately, once we made it into the springs after a bit, we drank like a hungry bear! It is an amusing sight as well.

We finally made it and the hero, Draugit, is inside, sealed and needs to be released soon so that he can explain to us why Clarissa's acting all weird. Especially the words she says blew me away! I can't believe that the woman had it in her to say that she doesn't love him. I know in her heart that she didn't mean it. But she didn't have to take it to someone else. It could be possible that she is hypnotized as well as being held against her will.

I'm still boggled by her age though. She looks as young as a beautiful princess. Yet she should be as old as a royal queen..its odd. Maybe there's some big secret in making people younger after all..Even that, I don't know.

Anyways, I suggested that we rest and ready ourselves for the truth the next day. We rested in a nearby tree. Dragon keeps on cursing about parrots and their crackers while Jane crossed her fingers. I looked at her right now and she really has changed. I sense a bit of...maturity in her. I know that she is a kind and brave knight and I shall believe in her till the very end. But what really annoys me is that she won't admit her feelings. Its frustrating to do so as I'm still quite jealous about Gunther's actions with Jane. My rage is out of control whenever I thought Jane with another person. Dragon has the same feelings, but I know as much as anyone that she will never choose a Dragon as her love. I mean, he's..

Oh dear! I-I've run out of ink! Dear me.. sorry! But I shall continue this another time!

Scroll Closed

"Jester, go back to sleep. We need to get ready for tomorrow." Jane said.

"Floppy Ears! I'm sleepy! Do as she says!" Dragon demanded.

"Right, I apologize." Jester said before nearing to Dragon for a good night's rest.

"SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"..the same voice that hit him during his stay in Alta haunts the deepest reaches of Jester. Yet despite the sound is only temporary, it is getting closer. Is it evil? Or is it...something else.

The end is coming. The age of a new dawn arrives...Will it happen in the future? Maybe so..but everything's not what it seems. What will happen next, or maybe that's not even the question we should ask ourselves with.

Okay! I'm thinking that this chapter is a bit short. But hey, Jester did say that it was hard to get the ink he needed to write. He even preserved the ink well too! No spill or drop. I think he should write more..or maybe something else.

DONE! Short story and diary for short-lives! Enjoy! Since Ch.15 and 16 will be final two chapters of arc 2, to revive Draugit, the legendary hero of masked "mens"! (laughs)

Anyways, I need only 90 visitors. Then Arc 3 and 4 will NOT have any conditions! Cuz I'll be taking a month off as a drawback! Arc 2 is here has a pattern of short-long short, as I said in the prologue
