Dear Diary: The Life of Isala

You're a very good writer.
But I don't like diaries...

Sorry... I've been busy, you know... Playing the game... Plus it was kinda hard to write.... It's been a looooooong time since I was level two.

Dear Diary:

When I woke up, it had already turned dark. All the chirps and other various noises of the wildlife filled the air. I shuddered at the thought that some of said wildlife was bigger than me, but I held my weapon reassuringly. I wasn't a defenseless little girl by any means. Speaking of which... I almost forgot that I was to clear some more of those creatures out of the way. It was actually fun, really, seeing a big scary monster go down almost instantly. Plus, if that person was right, and it really was helpful to people, I was doing a good deed. I started humming as I worked my way towards town, defeating the monsters in my way, when I noticed something bizzare. Every so often, I'd feel a rush of power, which would diffuse through me, making me feel stronger, wiser, and safer... I took it as part of normal life, since there were many things I didn't understand, but there was something still nagging at me... There seemed to be an untapped power. I couldn't name it, but it felt like I still had more potential waiting to be unlocked. Since focusing had helped earlier, I decided to try it again, this time on a certain aspect of myself. I wanted to feel safer. I was still scared of my surroundings, and didn't know what to do. So, I focused on the part of me that felt tough and strong, like I could take anything that came after me. Sure enough, I felt tougher. And... Yep. That untapped power was gone. I could feel it coursing through me now. That was good.

I finally made it into town to find the weirdest thing of all. All around me were little cat dolls, standing on their tails. Curious little things. They were all over the place. Cute, but way too many of them. They blocked everything... I walked over to the nearest one and touched it. Suddenly, an image filled my head with various shapes and sounds... After the immediate shock had died down... I realized that the cat itself had shouted something... What was it again? Something about selling... AH! They're shops?! I really didn't have much money on me, so I left the little cat there, and looked around.

People were everywhere. Big Tigers, and Catgirls, as well as... Was that a man with WINGS?! I slowly calmed down, and looked for someone to report to for the monsters I had killed. I didn't know who to look for, but I did find a lovely Catgirl that helped me find out some information. Her name was Elleiryk. It was weird, but for some reason she seemed familiar. Did I know this cat? It seemed she knew me. Or maybe she was just helpful and talkative. I couldn't tell, but she was giving me good advice. She was talking pretty fast, though... I was having a hard time keeping up. Something about being a Venomancer? Is that what I'm called? A Venomancer? Ok. That helps. And I need to talk to the Elder. Okay. She pointed me towards the Elder. As had everyone before him... He seemed kind of out of it... What was going on? Half the people here seemed dead, and the other half seemed way too animated. Oh, well. I'll figure it out later. The Elder told me to talk to certain people in town. Okay. I can do that. No problem. Elleiryk, or Elle, as she liked to be called, showed me the way. As I talked to each of them, they gave me a choice between armor and robes. I did not trust those robes. How were robes supposed to protect me from being attacked? I took the armor. Ahhhh. Heavy, but much better. I could get used to this. Okay. I'd talked to everyone and went back to talk to the elder. No big deal, again, I wonder why he seems so spaced out... This is going to drive me crazy if I keep thinking about it... I went through the town, talking to everyone. It seemed that almost every single person had a task for me to do... What is with people? It's like they can't actually do it themselves! Oh well, I found a wonderful person who explained what that green light was. It's called "Venomous Scarab", and it's my internal magic. She told me that she could teach me more later, but for now, I should just stick with what I know.

The person beside her, however, made me almost squeak with happiness. I can have a pet! She told me to choose the one I wanted, and go kill it. Forget these other people. I want a companion. Should I pick a scorpion... Or a wolf.... Scorpion? YES! I want a scorpion.

And that is where I stop for now. I am exhausted, and staying up all night writing in you will wear me out. Good night, Diary.
