I'm not keeping track of the time in this log. It's too hard to tell what day it is when it's always so dark out here. I can just about tell if it's day or night if I try hard enough, at least.
The night before I left home, someone came to see me at the Border. I couldn't tell who it was, but they gave me a protective charm of sorts. I'd better keep it safe. I have to, if I want to save my friends.
The night after that, I left. I told my sister to look after the cats, and told my family (and the cats) to stay safe. I don't want to lose them too right now.
I'll have to take the long way around, but I already know where I should go first: I'm going to visit nurse Jenna as soon as possible, hopefully she and Elyssa are okay... First up is having to go through the nearby forest though.
Was not expecting to already find something in the forest, but I found a soul shard today, being guarded by a few local animals. Now I'm wondering if I'll find anyone who survived that shockwave before making it out of here.
I'm out of the forest now. Not far from my current destination now.
I did actually run into someone, but they decided to search for soul shards on their own. If I remember correctly their name was Amulet.
I'll have to find him later if he finds any shards.
Jenna and her family are all okay. I'm super relieved about that, honestly.
It turns out Elyssa has the power to get those emotionless, mindless people back to their old selves, though using that power hurts her a little. She insisted she wanted to join me in my quest, and the person she saved (Jay Dewstone) also chose to join.
I think I'll refer to emotionless people as "drained" from now on. Much easier to write like that.
