Story:

Entry #2: I had other loves, though... The sweet memory of my first love still invigorates my weary body. Shuhana... an apothecary in Hatora. When I was young, she let me sample all the new cure-alls she discovered. Some people said they didn't do anything, but I think they're why I stayed so healthy adventuring. I wonder if she still gives some lucky young man free samples...

Entry #38: I went to the busiest tavern I could find and tried to lose myself in the crowd, drinking and watching the full moon out the window. Moon. Miyan. She sprung back into my mind, the memory of her presence crashing against me like waves on a shore. I couldn't recall what she looked like. It was as if her portrait had simply been painted over.

Entry #42: Gorillas attacked me at the Shrine of Reunion. I was so surprised to see them, I ended up falling off a cliff. I lay in the brush at the bottom, enveloped in pain, and closed my eyes. "This is how you die," I thought, just before blackness overtook me.

Entry #77: The air was as thin wraith's cloak, and I could barely breathe... but I barely noticed. I sat and watched the ships sailing off the coast of Villanelle, creeping across the water as if in slow-motion. Gazing down at the world through passing clouds--it was like the point-of-view of a god.

Entry #85: I secured a position as a worker on one of the expedition parties. The marchesa was more than happy to give me a positive reference, though she regretting seeing me leave. However, my happiness was short-lived. It quickly transformed into... utter joy. Banya had come to see me off.

We spent a few blissful weeks together. She occasionally turned into a fox, but I kept her safe. We even found a remote cabin for her to rent while I was gone, where she'd be safe from hunters and prying eyes.
