IN THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT, DARKNESS REIGNS


1130J hours
 
Hello me,
 
I am alive. Fear not, unauthorised reading will continue to be met with extreme prejudice. And for future reference, the events of today mark the moment when I stopped writing my personal diary in the vague likeness of a field intelligence report; I will make my style more precise whilst textual integrity will be maintained via CC-XV-styled encryption with an irregular system of keywords. I will consign codenames and impersonal analysis to the official registry when the time comes to compile the adjudication accounts. Then, to whom does the honour of making me forsake this practice of mine go? A good-for-nothing, dastardly, cowardly, uncivilised, many more PEJORATIVE adjectives, utter runt of an infernal mage and his gaggle of UNRULY and DISHONOURABLE philistines. He cast something so utterly vile that it began to drain my very being of life and essence, and I would surely have left this world had not Kazagal, of all people, brought me back to the brink! Afterwards, I did sink my estoc into the dagger-wielding gnomish would-be assassin's back, which sent him back to Hell one dagger shorter (than he already is). Anyone who uses daggers offensively can not be trusted. What a ghastly manlet. Vile. This orchestrated attempt against the life of Nakor, and by extension all of us, was "not personal" according to the ghoulish pack's self-declared leader Timothy, corrupted son of Kazagal, and in a sense, this is accurate, since these hellspawn have surrendered their personhood to the supreme dung-pit of Hell's unholy backside. "Jean-Luc Filavandrel" has consistently resorted to base attempts on our lives, and it has reached a breaking point whereby I can no longer, in good faith, argue that anything short of termination with extreme prejudice is the correct approach. No contracts; no words; no remorse. Captain Dormaruk expressed righteous anger at Timothy, who, like the waste of space that he is, dissipated into smoke and retreated to a forgotten crevice in the basement. Whilst the captain's verbal assault was gratifying, Timothy is undeserving of even the slightest hint of recognition. In fact, this is the first and only time I will directly acknowledge the pinheads. Those who betray their mortality to darkness abandon all rights. And we, the uncompromising few, are and must be, the light that remains.
 
In other news, I did retrieve my personal brooch, which is one rainbow: shame that the treasure at the end of it was an assassination attempt. The only wholly positive development was a charitable contribution to a local orphanage. Nakor, who has serious anger management issues, also demanded an audience with the Prince-Mayor, which by some irregular stroke of luck, has been scheduled for tomorrow. He seems intent on securing support for some type of literal treason against the government of Kang. I will cross-examine him tomorrow. However, I will be massively hung-over, owing to the fact that after the conclusion of this entry, I will celebrate my survival by imbibing hard alcohol, so he may actually perform above average; order is attained by drink.


WE ARE THE ETERNAL FLAME


In admiration,
