Passing Baldur’s Gate III for a full view, I decided to write about the adventures of my hero from his own face. Telling (significantly simplifying what is happening and avoiding some important points) about what is happening, the thoughts of the hero and his experiences.

Meet, this is a semi-pacer named Garrard. He is infected. And he is ready for everything to get rid of the parasite in his head.

Day 1

I hope you are there. This is me, Gerrard. I haven't written to you for a long time. As you can see, I keep my book. And if you keep your own, your pages will be filled with letters. Do not be surprised, this is blood. There are much more she is here than ink. Read. This is important.

You know what happened in the city?! A large flying ship with tentacles, inside of which there were terrible bastards. Illitids. They caught me, and then caught more and more … They riveted and kept us in capsules. You know, we did not go through this. But they had … larvae? Worms? Small creatures. They were brought to our eyes, and they crawled inside. I feel vibrations in my head. The creature gives strength like communication without words or reading thoughts … But I have to get rid of it – or soon I will turn into the same freak as those who grabbed me! Thus began my first day of infection.

They attacked the ship, and I got out of the capsule. And you will not believe who I met. There was one of the people. It seems alive. But with an open head. I saw his brains. And you know, they spoke to me! What the hell? I thought a person asks me for help … I saw these talking brains. Destroyed. They have such brains something like dogs. Run and bite. But very angry. Then demons and dragon appeared. Everyone fought against each other. I barely managed to slip away!

I met on a ship with two strange girls. Dangerous, almost like you. Do not put one finger in your mouth. Green and Evil Gityanka. Ready to kill everything that interferes. I don't interfere, so we went to kill demons. And they saved another. She is fragile and calm. But there is some kind of darkness in it. I feel. If the first heses me with a sword, looking into the eyes, the other will probably kill me from the back or in the middle of the night. Or bewitched, making it with his slave. I hate witchcraft.

But we seemed to come together. I say that because we have not yet interrupted each other. And we can even fall asleep. Still, common enemies and goals bring together. These two also don't like it when something wants to kill you from the inside. And they want to find doctors and medicine. And they need me. They need a ranger. I will help them. But I follow them. They will not lead me.

Not only three of us managed to escape from the ship. Some kind of pale little man got up with us. He tried to lead me and put a knife to his throat. Will try again – I will be less condescending. His brains are less than my fists. He is stupid, but he sees it. Because he works well, showing himself in battle. Well, the second survivor is a wizard. Dale or Gail. You will not believe how we met him! He simply got out of stone. Or I took him out of there … What do you think he did there? I do not like wizards. He sent him away. If necessary, I will find it.

The four of us walked along the shore and found some kind of crypt. Here I finally felt safe. And I decided to write to you. There are many books. And a lot of skeletons. Imagine: some even go! I have the feeling that it was already with me … We gave them peace. I collected books. I read one. It was hard, but interesting. About vampires. I took a few books with me – then I will sell smart people.

By the way, people were met in the same tomb. They were looking for valuable things. How did I laugh when I saw their faces when we got out of darkness! They definitely did not wait for arrows when they decided to show their essence. Now their stolen good – our good. And another of those girls from the ship even liked how I turned everything! But, of course, her praise can not be compared with your.

After rest, we will go away from the coast. It seemed to me that I heard screams or noise. As if a fight is brewing. We must see. Maybe someone needs help. Or again people beat people. Then everything is simple: you have to beat the people. Funny, yes?

If you read it, Find the doctor. Anyone. The one who can remove the creature from my head. I don't want to become a reptile like those who took me to the ship. I'm going to the city. I need to go to the city. Write me here. I open a book on every halt. See you in the city! I will write you about my path.

Day 2

Apparently, you keep your book further than I am. Mine is always with me, in my left pocket. Just fits. And conveniently: I took out and write so that my letters immediately move to you. Today I use it not blood, but ink, because we visited the settlement with people and typhoids. I believe, you will find your book and read these words.

Yesterday I wrote about some kind of noise. I could not fall asleep and we went there. I, two girls and pale Malyavka Astarion (His name is. Ask and collect information about him). It’s good that we went together – I don’t know if I would have coped alone … I'm joking! You and I were not in such troubles. And there only a few goblins beat people. But with our help, the goblin and their bloody dogs found peace. So they let us inside, beyond the walls where the goblins were breaking. Already there we finally rested.

I was weaned from such settlements. It is big. It is clear, not a city, but how many people and animals are here! I talked with one of them and found myself a treasure. But in general, the conflict is brewing here: local druids want to expel everyone, but tifling do not want to leave – they are afraid of goblins. And the small ones are stealing and deceiving. If not for our pale, they would have led me! Nimble little ones. But Astarion himself took them and thus made friends with them. And I also saved one of them from flying women. They killed them, now they don't sing.

By the way, Astarion Vampire (You understand why I need to know about him as much as possible?). Yesterday I read a book about them, but I did not guess. And then he lay, and he climbed to me, wanted blood. I almost sewn it right there. Told him: if he wants blood, let him kill more. Enemies! And if he climbs to me again or to ours again … in general, he understood me.

It was necessary to leave as soon as possible, but we got involved in local history. Druids at the head stands – like Gityanka Laesel. Also angry and cruel, only without a creature in my head. Why even worse. In general, nobody likes her. And the locals want us to find their former leader. He is also a druid, but respected. If you find it, he will not expel anyone. And he seems to be smart. Have a good friend. So we went to look for him.

First found some dungeon with goblins and traps. I had to jump. There was a little useful, so I shared my partners. Since we are now in the detachment, let them have a good weapon too. Then they met three people who talked about some kind of absolute. One of them died. I ordered the other two. And then he found another cave. There lived Medkvych. It turned out to be a female. She defended her small. We talked and I left. Then the girl, not Laesel, but the second, said that they were killed by goblins.

We also met a dog. Her owner died and she was sad. You know, I don't like it when animals are sad. It turned out that the dog's name is Shkryab. He remembered my smell and then came to our camp. Let him live and eat, we have a lot of food. We find more than we eat. And the skeleton that came to us from the tomb, no need to eat. I have never seen reasonable dead. You know what this magic is? He carries some nonsense. If you know, write in your book.

We came to the village where no one lives. Now the goblins are killed here, rob and have fun. Saw us and scared. Said they would not touch us if we do not touch them. This is honest. But there were drunkards and villains, they attacked. We killed them. And we met someone interesting – these guys are more than me. Now that we are in trouble, they promised to help us.

What happened here? Why there is no one left in the village? I think Astarion understood. He constantly read and said something. About children and about necromancy. And then he found a huge book and asked us to follow him. We went down until we encountered spiders. Why can't they talk to me like Medyvych and other intelligent animals? They had what the vampire needed. He was able to open his book, and something strange happened to him. Evil magic. I https://sister-site.org/pink-riches/ hate. The wizard can make you his slave, but you won't understand.

Then, in the camp, Astarion seemed normal. But you know who surprised me? Laesel. She is always warlike, and I understand her. But, it turns out, she also has feelings. And she knows how not only to kill, but also to rejoice. I never really spoke to her, but she came to me at night. Maybe she saw herself in me. After all, I am an orc. Orcs are usually angry and lonely if they go to people and elves. So probably she just does not want to be alone.

A day passed, but my head was no longer ill. Unless sometimes strange thoughts arise … and connections. As if I can influence others. Make them do what I want. Subordinate their will. Sometimes I really want to do it. So that everything becomes much easier … but I know: it says the creature. And the creature wants me to become like she.

Yesterday I was too scared when I talked about the doctor. But everyone around them says that the doctor is needed, and urgently. So I continue to go to the city. And I hope that we will meet. Find the doctor! He will save us.

Day 3

Goblins beat all day today. They captured either the temple or the fortress – and now there they beat the drums all day, drink and have fun. I wanted to say how animals. But animals do not behave like that. They brought a petty Medykytych here and arranged for him to be games for money. I freed him. I hope he will find me and come to our camp.

But I'll start in order. I left the vampire in the camp to read books. Took the wizard Gale with him. I thought he would somehow help. It turned out that he needs magical artifacts or he will go crazy. Called, changed hell to radish. At the same time I talked with a girl who is not a guitar. She is half -elf. The name is Shadouhart. The name is as if from a book and speaking. He does not remember the devil about himself, but he has a goal. She has a magical artifact that helps against the creature in her head. Does not allow us to manage. No wonder she is with us.

Well, you could get to the goblins secretly. There are at least three ways. Plus one more murder, but without anxiety. But Gail wanted to be a diplomat and knocked down to let us go inside. And here we had to kill three cruel leaders of goblins. I didn't think it would be so simple. As it turned out, none of them can fly. Gail created illusions for them, and Laesel pushed them down, from where not to return … It was more difficult for us to get out later. I thought through the underground passage. But there is only down the path and a lot of enemies. Therefore, went through the top

Druid, whom we saved, can turn into a bear. And he even has a media friend where he lives. And this bear was so happy when he found out about the salvation of the Druid. And everyone was delighted, even tifling. We decided to arrange a holiday with us, and I had something like a hero.

I don't know what happened to my partners: they probably got drunk. And some strange words began to speak. Hinted at something. In general, I just wanted to get enough sleep. Very tired. But Shadouhart still persuaded to drink a bottle of something red with her. Honey she is still. At night, she did not kill me and did not poison me, although she knows a lot of magic and almost a wizard (I hate wizards). She needs to go to the city with her artifact. So we are on the way.

And we also found "doctors". A strange person who says that he can help. But ready to argue: he is mistaken more often than saving. So I hope for you and for our meeting in the city. We will be soon.

Day 4

Devil's day! False day and traitors! And magic!

There is a guy Will here, whom everyone considers the hero for some reason. He beats evil spirits and demons. He decided to come with us. And we immediately got into. It was not necessary to trust him. Because of him, it all started.

At first we contacted the demon, then another demon came to our camp, to this Will, and then Laesel wanted to kill me! Coincidence?.. Vile demons and crazy gitnings! Fortunately, she calmed down, but continues to repeat about her nursery(this is something like their base). There they should help us with creatures in our heads. It is hard to believe.

But then we met a war detachment of the Gityanka. And there was a dragon again! As well as when they attacked the ship of Illitids. But we are still alive. Thanks Laesel. These Gityans are looking for some kind of weapon here. Let them look for themselves, if only they would not touch us.

And a lesson for the future: you do not need to get headlong to run to the hellish bee or a paradise corner. And there and there it will be bad. Then you remind me if I want to save the innocent again. It will come out sideways. Especially if magic is mixed.

The path to the city lies through the mountain pass, and just somewhere there will be the same nursery. In general, the refuge of the guitan. Let's see if someone can help us. But I don't really hope. They say the road will be extremely dangerous.

Day 5

Nature here is amazing. Sunny, wind, greens … Unless the undead met in the way, but otherwise there is very nice. A walk was good. Laesel found the way to the nursery of the Gityanka. It turned out that they settled in a huge devastated monastery. I had to crawl before finding the entrance to their monastery … and look for valuable artifacts! We did not take them with us, just left where they were. And after that I began to feel noticeably better. Good magic?

And the Gityanka has a hospital, and the barracks, and even a place for the birth of new Gemyans. We met us friendly, but … almost all the lie. I thought they were the enemies of my enemy. But most of them are just brainless soldiers who do everything that their queen orders them. Strong, but definitely not a friend. She orders everyone (and even me) to kill those to whom she will indicate! She sent me to another dimension … It was as if there is a war. Comets fly right in the middle of the void. And here lives a strange creature calling itself my friend. It was him that I had to kill. I refused. I do not trust people and queens who say that someone needs to be killed.

And the local doctor is no better than this gittean. We thought he was able to heal us from the creature in his head. It turned out that he gets rid of the patient's illness by getting rid of the patient. This does not suit me.

Everything that happened next, I remember with difficulty. A lot of blood. He barely survived. We moved away from the monastery and set up the camp. I wanted to take a break from the Gityanka, when suddenly another Gityanka arrived at us! Important as a commander. It turns out that they have intrigues there and the struggle for power! And now we are also in one of the teams. This Gityanka seems much more friendly than their queen. And if he helps, I will help him.

We agreed to meet in the city. So if you see an arrogant gitty woman, most likely this is our friend. I want his words not to diverge from the deed. Let's see how he will help us!

And now, after a long sleep, we are waiting for a new path along a mountain pass. We will go down to places that look much darker … Everything indicates that there is dark magic. So you have to make this world A little less magical.

Day 6

What the hell is going on here?!

Day 7?

How much we were going? Day? Two? It was so dark here as if sunlight had left these edges forever. Leaving here only the monsters hid in the shadow … and the shadows themselves. Huge. Thirsty to take your life and immerse you in darkness. The only way is not to disappear – to surround yourself with light. For example, torches. It's funny that some goblin told us about this.

I could not afford to stop. I admit, I was afraid. It seemed to me that it was worth closing my eyes – and I would lose even the minimum light that remains next to me. I had to go. Look carefully. And hope that behind the next turn is not hidden by the ambush of these strange creatures ..

Judging by the number of corpses and abandoned tools, many years ago there was a bloody battle here. Apparently, followers of different gods fought. Why did they need it? For such powerful creatures, we are just dust. And in the best case-small flies buzzing something near the ear while you are sleeping … insects, which you usually want to simply slam.

And yet, we, reasonable creatures, for some reason are gone due to otherworldly conflicts.

We walked and walked. And met some strange. I don’t know if it is really or not, but there was a boy … alive? In such a place? Probably magic played a cruel joke with me. Or is it a ghost. Not dangerous, but like crazy. And in his old dilapidated house you can’t take refuge. So we went further.

We knew that we were not alone here. We have already seen goblins and perverted animals. But they did not expect to meet reasonable armed creatures who fight against the forces of darkness! They seemed to be waiting for us to start a new battle. Not without losses. But they decided to help us and show the place where it is safe. Safely! Here! We could not believe them, but now I am writing these lines, lying in a warm room under the roof above my head.

There are a lot of surviving tifling, which we have already met a few days ago. A lot of wounded. Many need help. And many agree that this darkness must be destroyed. Her source, whatever he is. Shadouhart seems to know something. She believes her dark goddess ball. Maybe this is her hand? Now, having rested, we are ready to move on, towards the city.

I don't want to go out for the barrier … magical. This time magic saved our lives.

Day 8

I did not have time to write a word about magic, the demons immediately attacked us. Coincidence? It is unlikely. Magic attracts evil.

The main place in this place, surrounded by a barrier from darkness, asked us to talk to the sorceress, which protects us. And these flying red bastards seemed to know … One of them even turned to me and asked to help him to kidnap this woman. Why do I need this? Without it, many of those who hide under this roof will surely die! So we politely refused.

Torm. This is the surname. A man named Torm started all this madness. What he wants? Immortality? Authorities? Embodiment of their dark desires?.. We, orcs, try not to dig too deep. Even if the goal of a reasonable creature is good, but it acts by destruction … In general, if we do not like something, we prefer not to go into details. We see evil – we destroy it. This violates the natural order of things. Harms the world. Harms us. So the Torm should die.

We came to the town, where only monsters remained of local residents. We are me, Gitteian, Shadouhart and the Demon we saved. Her name is Karllai. She is big, almost like me. And very strong. She shoots poorly, but she is perfectly controlled with a sword. She complements me. Allows me to shoot from afar, attacking enemies near.

I knew that these creatures were crazy … but so!? One of them had to be destroyed, and someone himself died after our words. You cannot be so naive and not have instincts … We understand that the whole thing is in magic. It gobbled up from the inside. They live against the will of nature, and their nature itself wanted death. We helped them. Nature always takes its.

Torm is located in the lunar towers. The creature that was placed in our heads serves as a key to all those who must guard the Torma. But … he does not need any security! We were witnesses of such miracles that you will not believe! How to destroy such a powerful creation? We have not a single chance against him. Even the search of the fortress did not particularly help: yes, we found several secret rooms and read the documents. Apparently, now we have only one chance to do everything as it should. You need to find a weapon or a relic … and then destroy it. Depriving the Torma of his strength.

By the way, take care of the Gityanka! And don't look for them! They started hunting for us, and if it were not for Shadouhart with her magic of transformations, we would already be corpses. But now the road to the gates of Baldur is almost open! But I see at least one small problem ..

Day 9

Never felt the physical presence of the gods before. Elusive. Almost intangible. As if a light wind rushes through a dark desecrated undead temple. And takes you out of reality. Just a minute. But this is enough to understand who you are actually. Killer or Savior. And now I know who the Shedouhart is. What is the strength in it and what potential.

The way down was incredibly difficult. You will not believe if I tell you that I saw. I could never even think that our lands are rich (or desecrated) with similar structures! And how good it is that there are portals here. I would be tired of running back and forth several times. Here's an idea for you: make a portal from the lunar towers right into the gates of Baldur!

Remember, I told you about Torma? Maybe we were just very lucky, but the problem with it resolved almost by itself … Sometimes the consequences of previously made decisions will be very favorable. And at a critical moment, you will not be required to make self -sacrifice, but simple support.

But now the most important! Read! Or don't read, if you still love surprises (For this I respect you). Two news. Good and bad. Good: the army standing between us and the city is gone. And now the path to gate is free. Bad: the army will sooner or later get to the walls of the city. It seems to me that in less than a week in the city it will be much more dangerous than beyond. If you do not want to be in the trouble, try to find yourself a safe place or leave the gate. I will not be lost. But you just have no idea how the storm is coming!

Day 10

Tomorrow we will be in the gates of Baldura! This huge city is visible even in the night. But even earlier than we saw him, we sensed him. The smell of cities cannot be confused with anything. The smell of people. The smell of labor. The smell of buildings and smoke. Let me be born in the city, every return from nature home gives me only an extra headache. So it happened this time.

Remember, recently, the Queen of the Gatyanka asked me to kill someone in another dimension? Tifling woman. I spared her. And now, after the new attack of the Gityanka, she asked for help. There were even more gittens in this strange world! And here are talking brains on the legs, corpses everywhere, and in the center itself … (several lines are not read further due to blood on the page)

It’s hard to choose. Especially when there is little time. But we agreed. So far, we just can’t do anything with this absolute. And becoming ilitide means to declare your unconditional surrender. Maybe I will save him. And I will kill the emperor. But so far we are moving on. Moreover, he sees this. I don't want to show him my plans.

This is just a suburb, but how different from everything that we saw before! So many people, large and small, good and evil. Many those who came here, fleeing from the Absolute. Almost no one loves them here. And some of them simply break into other people's houses. I do not approve, but I understand. I had to intervene in one of these situations. And not in vain. The owner was worse than those who robbed him.

Crows. I have never seen so many shifts. Apparently, they are headed by that pale of the lunar towers. I saw her a couple more times. Nasty creature. Her hennecks want our death. Let them try. We are on guard. Each of us is watching and at night. They came up with passwords so that they would not pass someone else's. This pale will not outwill us. And we will find her.

Being a trace, I sometimes investigate. As a private person for reward. Immediately, without pretending to be material, collided with a maniac and several murders at once. I had to help the local detective. For the first time I see such a creature. Like an elephant. And like a rat. And flies. I helped her, and in response she helped me. Gave some kind of pass. I did not know that they needed.And I also turned me into cheese!

I also helped the mistress of entertain. In response, she said that I could have a good time with her best employees. With two at once. I do not condemn those who agree, but I refused two at once. And it was good. It was not so good for a long time. And here was my old familiar devil. Again weaves something about how he wants to help me. You know, I have a short conversation with the devils: listen and in any case say "no". Although some of ours insist that we must agree.

We met another of those in the lunar towers, this is Gorash. I was once a small bipod, and now it marks the rulers. He invited me to talk. His face was burned with greed and ambition. And there was also fear in it. Fear of losing everything. He does not know who he can trust, and therefore decided to try to agree with me. Wants me to kill pale, but he will not bother me.

By his face, I see that he considers himself smarter than me. I am an orc. I'm not smart and I know that. But when I see such smug people, I understand: they want to spend me. Let them only try. I see that he considers himself the smartest. So in his plan there will probably be a couple of weaknesses. We will hit there.

Day 11

Always considered the gates of Baldur a magic city. You know my attitude to magic. And this time the city did not change its traditions. He met us with the next temple. I do not like to spend money in vain, but our sorcerer Gale persuaded to go in and leave a few golden. This wizard has some strange relations with the gods. More precisely, with a particular goddess.

You know, many people already know us here. At least journalists. But their impudent editor showed that he was more concerned about revenue and copies sold than the truth. So tomorrow the whole city should find out which gerrard bad and insidious. If I had more time, I would crept into his establishment and arranged a small sabotage there. But spend strength on some kind of passage … I have more important things.

Gail led us to the tower to the local wizard, whose name I never remembered. You will be surprised, but this guy (although by age he should be older than all of us together) has interests similar to the interests of the Torma. He also loves to sing in the evenings. If you understand me. Wrote in his diary that he should not be trusted. I feel, sooner or later we will meet him again.

I stood on the top of this tower and looked down at this small huge city. And he thought that an elusive maniac was wandering along his streets, killing his victims on the list. Where can I go further? Eyes scattered. Presented a map of the city and marked several points on it. I tried to weed out the unimportant and secondary. I left the most relevant. And determined for himself five places that need to be visited.

One of them was a tavern by a happy chance. Living here is better than in our usual camp camp. Now at least we sleep not on earth. Then – and this is also a pure coincidence – we had to go to a tasting of wine. Once on the way, we once decided to drink ten bottles at once at night! But here, in the city, this wine brought me … (several lines are not read further due to blood on the page)

Yes, right underground! I would not believe my eyes, but here are not just rivers, but whole seas of blood! And in the very center – the same incomprehensible creature that I met yesterday. She was grateful to me. I do not need anything from her, but I do not forbid her to feel obligated. Then, maybe, and come in handy. In the meantime, I will gain new weapons and artifacts for myself.

In the last two weeks, strange things have been happening to me. Even when I do nothing, the world is not just not standing still. The world actively affects me. There is so many interesting things at night! And what are dreams … or travel travel.

I recently understood one thing. If you don't know where to go, just go to bed. Sometimes what you are looking for can come to you. And even if it does not come, you will at least restore your strength. Because, it seems, everything goes to the denouement.

Day 12

The heart itself is affected by darkness. So many conflicts. I had never peered into the eyes of the gate before. But now I see so much hatred in them. No, on the one hand, there is hope … but on the other … even criminals, usually united, are fighting among themselves! A friend with whom we met a few days ago says that one of the groups is headed by her old dead friend. Is it really a undead is ready to seize power, starting from the bottom? We must destroy it. Traps. Cunning. Even magic. Anything just to stop this infection!

And one more question: is it worth robbing the devil himself? The matter is risky. But since we are now among the scum of this city … The creature that lives in my head gives me incredible forces. Over the past two weeks, I have been transformed. Studied what before he could not even think. He became healthier. Slear. And mastered several tricks. It seems to me that my brain even increased. I can't describe. But if you ever read these notes, you will tell me.

So, the following goals. Risen -in -law and cunning devil. Two hares with two shots. Let's try to do everything in such a way to do without excess blood. At least our blood.

Day 13

Resurrected undead. Well, I wrote. It turned out that this is a completely living person. Combat. Healthy. With one exception. He also has a creature in his head. We understand each other. Although he says strangely. Too simple. And, apparently, it will not change anymore. But he has a cheerful little friend. I don’t hear it, but they have a complete understanding with this Minsk. And we all stand and look at this giant and this baby – and smile, get angry, shake your head. Like, we understand everything. Although we don't understand anything!

But plus is a minus one problem for the city. And we, apparently, had another ally in the person of criminal elements of the gate. We ran with them on the sewer, of course … What is not here! And from here the doors open to all parts of the city. Unless, of course, kill a few monsters ..

Amazing, but we spectacularly figured out the devil! I admit, I did not think that it would be so … nice to visit him. But it is important to maintain control. Remember that you are you. And you belong to yourself. Do not share yourself with those who will use you. Well, unless something will fall for you too.

A reminder to oneself. ** Do not blow your barrels! Even if it seems that she is only one! If you don't want to learn how to fly, hold yourself in your hands and do not blow them up!** Let the stupid enemies blow up their barrels themselves, and you are better than a crossbow and sword on the old fashioned way.

Day 15

Recently, one acquaintance told me how to escape from slavery. He spent more than 10 years in captivity. And all this time he pretended. Pretended to be a slave. Is it difficult to pretend to be a slave for only one day? Pretend that you play _I. Rules. Pretend and win.

One of them is a public and open person. Finding it is not difficult. Yes, he doesn't hide. Just to meddle with him just as openly – this is suicide. I had to find his secret and destroy him. There were no casualties, but I tried to save as much as possible. But then, having come to him, I was surprised how much defended him … How many we had to give peace.

The other, unlike the first, is hidden in the shade and has many look. It was because of her that we spent the whole day … wanting not to give out our plans. She is not one of those who love light. But the darkness exuded by it was not as sharp as our arrows and swords. It was more difficult to get to her. But now I am not afraid of shifts. Now I can trust the one with whom I am under one roof. Even the demoness who came to me in the middle of the night.

How many we have already helped, but so many people need help! But now, after spilling blood, I understand the true threat from the side … (several lines are not read further due to blood on the page)

So who to support me? Creature and manipulator or thirsty revenge of the traitor? The Gityanka does not doubt it. But personally I would destroy both. Where did I get the thirst for blood? This creature in my head made me like that? The strength given by her? Or I always wanted to follow this path?.. I look now at my friends, I see their smiles. No, I'm definitely not a villain. Because they are not villains. So it is decided. In the last battle, we must win. Me and my friends. Unless, of course, one of them does not want to go against me.

Day 16. The last day

What strange words "I am alive".Is it alive? And I? Looking around the past, I see a completely different creature. Sick. The afraid of the unknown. But coming towards this unknown, as if it were his fate. There is definitely no fate. And the unknown turned out to be completely different from how I imagined it.

Trying to realize what has just happened, I find the last anchors of my past in my memory. They are raised, and the ship floats … just as suddenly as those whom I began to call from my life left my life. But you're still here? You still read these lines? My only true friend. Silent. But alive. I know that everything is fine with you.

Words come from nowhere. They were not composed by me. In general, this is my free translation of the old elven song. Sorry, I could not come up with something lighter. Perhaps in another universe everything turned out differently. And the other hero, avoiding my mistakes, is now full of joy … I will no longer write here. But the same lines:

Who now I have become,

My good friend?

All I knew,

Suddenly disappeared at once.

Do you want me to give

His power? Please.

From her is a misfortune.

Only pain from her.
