Entry number 4
A lot has happened since the last entry, not even fully sure where to start I guess ill start with the ship after the town. We had learned that there seemed to be a curse in the area affecting the plant and wildlife, and to a degree even the people, after learning about that we managed to get enough info to piece together that the source would most likely be on the islands and so the town lord managed to get us a ship to take us there, after sailing for awhile for we had heard a sharp whistle which caused the Captain to jump down and draw his sword, immediately the group reacted in the worst way, someone killing on of the younger boys with an arrow causing his body to fall off the ship, I hated that the instant reaction was to kill, we ended up having to kill them all and tied up the youngest, after a full night we noticed a group of airships following us and knew they were pirates so we threw a bunch of stuff overboard and tried to get to the island first, which we managed to do after getting there we set the boat on fire to create a massive smoke screen and entered through a crevice in the cliff side which led to a looooooot of walking (it was soooooooooo boring) after awhile we came across this portal like thing that of course I just said oh well and jumped through it. After everyone came through I decided to try and light a candle I had from the fey, I couldn't ever light it but i deiced to try, and it lit! I was excited and shocked wondering why it lit here (mainly i was mesmeried by the pink flame it created haha) after even more walking (it suuuuuucked even more) we came to a fork one leading left and up and one right and down, we check the right one first which lead to nothing important and one to the left which lead to a massive slope throwing a torch down didnt help us see the bottom and someone jumped down straight into another portal illusioned to be a slope (what is with all these portals!) it lead to a room full of crystals and fully perserved bodies with a broken staff in the center of the room with a pool of lava below it, one of the bodies was a warrior clad in green with a beatiful sword and half an orb, after seaching around a lot I ended up touching the sword which HURT a LOT after walking away and looking around more i went back to take another look at the body when all of a sudden i felt weight in my other wise empty hands, looking down i suddenly had the sword and orb in my hands and bunch of thing started to happen all at once the lava starting cooling or disappering and a massive form started to appear through the crystal, It was a primordial! He told us of things about the orb that because I had taken it that ive taken a massive and gresat burden upon myself, that I must not let the other half of the crystal fall into "his" hands, after asking a few more things we started to look for an exit when suddenly these people started teleporting in yelling at us to stop, but of course we ran (why wouldnt we) running back where we came we found a broken portal gateway after fixing one of the runes we jumped through which somehow landed us in adamore (which we didnt know at the time) when we appeared we were immediately surrounded by people with guns, one of them seemed recognize John and took us prisoner, I also learned from the traveler that my life had shortened, to about 4 years because of the burden had taken. on the way to the city the guards were taking us a dinosaur appeared which was turned into a sheep and we moved along, skipping a bunch of stuff we were brought to the emperor turns out dalieos pissed him off and we were to be executed. We were rescued by some rebels who borught us back to thier base. and it was bad, tons of children and teenagers starved bloody and injured, it made me angry and upset seeing children in this state all I wanted at that moment was to help them. apparently they wanted us to infilatrate a "Black site" research base cause they were researchign a new weapon so we boarded a train and learned a lot about a new weapon that could destroy a city arriving at the base we managed to sneak in and talk with a suprisingly willing scientest that said a lot of them didnt want to be here and would help liberate the place and thats what happened we were caught and had to fight this big bad general (we kinda bullied him haha) and after everyone came up and so we started learning what we could I split off and ended up finding a big dome with what looked like a Fae Direwolf that I tried to help turns out it didnt need it as when a response force of airships showed up it broke through the dome and ran we all did the same managing to get one of the truckes and a tank and escape into the the desert and eventually psat the airships into the forset where we stayed for the night before moving to the next town, turns out that tpwn was about to be a battlefield , we got some new weapons and gear before heading to the inn where after arriving I and some other played music to help calm everyone down. a little later we asked for a private room to talk when Supra noticed black knights surronding the inn and started attcking killing civilians so we ran out and fought turns out the youngest of the pirate crew we were with and sadly killed found us and told the leader of the black knights what happened and so she foudn us and is going to kill everyone in the tarvern Zaval and I both got shot and went down luckily the others managed to get us further into the Inn and heal us a bit before it got to bad, and after fighting our way out managed to escape through the back. I dont know about the path we are taking, it seems we cause bloodshed wherever we go causing innocents to get hurt and i dont like, especially the children, so many have died just because of us, the rebels were bombed while we were in the base i dont know if any children survived and all the children in the inn? its just so much death.
Day 3 Meeting a Dragon!
The woman turned to us and I immediately started running to her to try and get to the tower to rescue whoever I could, once I reached the halfway point between the group and her she hit her staff on the ground and suddenly we started rising into the sky! I was terrified of the height stuck in place, words were traded, I wasn’t listening terrified of falling, when suddenly Zaval shot an arrow at her and we started fighting, being to scared to move I mainly used my magic and arrows to try and do anything, Bryn managed to knock her staff away and she just appeared in front of her, I was shocked she could, and they seemed to talk when suddenly we were brought back down to the ground in a forest, I just collapsed in relief so happy to be on the ground again. She was telling us that the guard captain isn't who we thought he was and that he did lots of bad things, she also gave us the name Corella as her name, I wasn't sure if i could believe her but I don't think she had a reason to lie, after a little she had to leave and just vanished, after some debate and looking around (and me trying to climb trees but Shae wasn’t allowing it the meanie) Supra climbed up and gave the area a look, managing to spot a town off in the distance north of us, after he came back down I asked him if I could ride on his shoulders, he picked me up and let (it was awesome I got to continue reading because of it) after that we started the journey and after a bit something really REALLY big flew above us at intense speeds, it matched the looks and sounds of a dragon, seeming to be a gold dragon I decided to look at my book and see if I could learn anything useful about them we continued our journey and decided we would stop for the night and rest up, playing with the flames of the campfire for Supra I gave him as much entertainment as I could before I went and found a low branch to climb and rest in, reading some more when the words became Draconic and I wasn't able to read anymore, so after securing some rope around me in case i fell and using my tail to steady myself I went to sleep to worry about it in the morning. Waking up I decided to help and make breakfast for everyone, it came out really good! While we were eating I had asked if anyone could read Draconic and it turned out Daelös could, when he grabbed the book and started reading it burst into flames and turned to ash! I was devastated until the fireplace exploded and a new book in dragon scales appeared, reaching out for it. I didn't really think it through and burned myself in the flames (it hurt!) After pulling back I smartened up and extinguished the flames. I reached for it again trying to open it for it to bite my fingers! I wasn’t happy about that, the little shit, handing to Daelös to take a look when suddenly large LOUD footsteps were behind us, turning around that golden dragon from before was here! I was so excited to see a living dragon and before I could get a closer look Zaval put a hand on me rooting me in place!!! There was a dragon and he wouldn't let me get closer to look, I couldn't believe it! Him and Daelös talked back and forth in I think Draconic before he turned into a humanoid form (it seemed elven) and questioned about me being so restless, of course I took this chance to explode in happiness and tell him about my love for his species (he seemed to take pride in that) after many questions I asked Daelös to ask him about the book, where he told us some stuff about it being Runed and possibly cursed before giving it back to me, I was gonna ask him about the other book on the gods before he seemed to react negatively so I just put it back, after that he asked for tribute which we gave and sent us on our way to the town.
Day 2 To the library!
Waking up was amazing, I haven't had sleep like that in a looooooong time! And after waking up Shae and I went downstairs to meet up with the others and we got food!!! It was amazing. The juices were also great, while we ate we were discussing what we should do. Of course I tuned most of it out and asked Shae some questions when she noticed something wrong with my arms, taking a closer look at my hands and some of my arms were gray! These weird gray veins were all over, honestly it was kinda cool looking but i don't think it means anything good, I certainly don't remember seeing them last night. and of course pretty much right after i stopped paying attention and looked around the inn when someone caught my attention, an Elf was in the doorway looking in my direction seeming to glare at me for some reason, I didn't know why so I did the only reasonable thing, stuck my tongue out at her, of course I smiled and waved after, don't want to be mean, she sat down shortly after and I lost interest going back to looking around. Shortly after we made our way to the Library where we got stopped by some guards outside who looked really cool matching the building they guarded! After going in, the Librarian was talking to us but I wasn't listening. I went straight to the Dragon section (they are so cool). After looking around I found a book on the Dragon Mythos (yes!) and then went over to the Gods section. Looking around I found lots of interesting books, the first and only one I took was the Book of Sylvanius. I walked back to the others cause I heard something heartbreaking, it was Shae crying! I sprinted right to her gathering her in my arms and just held her to me, it hurt seeing her like this. The librarian though seemed startled after looking at us (I was very confused why) and she started talking about how we looked like the 2 people in the story she called the Two Fighter of the Fae, I wasn't really listening to be honest, more worried about Shae, she gave us the book and right after it sounded like thunder inside of the building, and she very quickly rushed us out telling us the master didn't like people being in there when he gets back, (I got those other books for free cause of if YAY!) so we left. The rest of them decided to go talk with the guard captain and see if we could help with the cult thingy (again I don't listen, it's boring), we got stopped by some red guards, who were quite rude, they stopped Bryn cause one of the guards seemed to recognize her, then he insulted us by insinuating we weren't good enough to protect her! (i'm still shocked about her being of importance honestly) Shae then told him that the guard captain trusts us and that pretty much smoothed everything over, and he told us to go meet with him, I was pretty excited cause he gave us free food and he's super nice! So onward we went to the barracks where all of a sudden the main tower exploded! There was some woman in pink pointing her staff at it and then she looked at us! I'm worried for Shae and my new friends.

Day 1 Meeting the Group
We finally arrived! We could finally start looking for a warm place to sleep and eat, after walking around we heard screaming so we went to go help who it was, seeing other people who looked quite scary, these guys in robes started killing people and the others jumped in to stop them, after a small fight we finished them off. After the guards had started to arrive and asked us questions, I didn’t like how they looked so I hid behind Shae, although it turned out he was really nice! He brought us to an Inn and paid for our food and rooms. Shortly after leaving to continue his work, I also got to try this thing called apple pie! It was so good! Sitting and talking an eccentric Elf "poofed" into existence, and talked using magic hands to shake hands with everyone of course I was terrified of it so I hid behind Shae and shortly after he left the hands disappearing with him, except for one that was in front of me with a flower. After that whole thing Shae and I went to our room where we found a weird book and coin, I immediately went to look at the book discovering it was a book about Gods and Deities, although it was blank for some reason, Shae picked up the coin and suddenly through it away and told me to not touch as she left the room, of course I didn't listen and picked it up and flipped it into my hand, I guess tails but it landed on heads, it was weird though it became cold for a few seconds before going back to its overly warm temperature, hearing her come back with someone I pretended to be asleep before she tried to wake me up and drag me away and towards the door, where Zaval took a look at the Book and Coin, where when he looked at it some initials appeared C.B. Before asking if he could take it, I of course wanted them both saying “give me” very excitedly, then the coin flew into my hand! It was so cool! Later that night though I had tried to see if I thought of a god it would show information on them, so I thought of The Traveler, the book started to Write a T before it got scribbled out and wrote No~, the meanie.
