Of all the things that were to happen on my first adventure Novia, guess what happened... if you guessed I overslept, you are right. The twist this time is that I wasn't partying, but reading up on my clan's history. So... yeah, that happened... you saw me firsthand go onto the ship and the shores with the dudes Sol and Rad, and the tremendously beautiful Sute. So, since the others went ahead of us, the four of us formed our own team. Rad was recon, Sute being support gun, Sol was the analyzer of anything good, and yours truly was crowd control.
In our exploration thanks to the tomes, we got far past one mile, and found a bunch of zombies. Using my superior intelligence, I created a distraction, allowing us to sneak right on past them, avoiding wasting needless resources. We set up basecamp, and I owe Kosuke for this, but the Pavilion prevented necrotic energies coming inside, so it was a surprisingly well rested night, shocker in such a hellhole of a place. The further we went in, the more of these giant crystals we found getting bunched up, Sol and I theorized that it used to be a forest. Our objective however, was the giant spire of crystal further inland... going in closer we encountered a surprisingly powerful pack of crystal wolves. We utterly crushed them with but only a few scratches,. BUT THE CATCH, of course the floor collapsed in the weight of our magical and bullet filled onslaught, some stray bullets, the bombs and my magic weakened the floor near the cracks and caused us to fall into a lake. Near that lake to my surprise.... was.... holy ground, and the grave of Umbra....
Got to admit, this caught me by surprise, I thought she was bluffing when she said she died, but turns out it was true... Anyways... Novia, I'm sorry I doubted your sister, but I'm continuing this entry. We went into the inner parts of the castle as you pointed out.... and found parts of Novia's "memory road" as I coined. Gotta admit, it was depressing to see her sad, but despite all that, we found a dojo of her's. Inside we found an ancient sword, worn throughout the years... a possession of Novia's father. Of.... all things she gave it to me... it doesn't feel right, but... the sword called to me, yet I'm more oni than kitsune.... I'm just conflicted now... Novia, if you ever read this... thanks I guess for the.... gift?
