Nori,
I hope you noticed I didn't as you as 'dear Nori' as I usually do. But the stuff you said this morning did upset me quite a lot. I went to hell for you! I would have traded my soul if it meant yours was free. I expected you to be happy to see me. I didn't expect anything like this. I'm gonna be generous, and tell myself it's because you're in hell (let's face it, no one is their normal happy self here) and you're upset right now. I also have to fight for my life. Let's be fair, it can't have been easy being in hell for 2 months. And losing mom and dad. Still, you shouldn't lash out at me.
The guard that replaced you was pretty nice. I'm not sure if you know, but we got a half orc called Alburt.
Once we got out of quarantine we got some supplies and directions to rescue Trystane. I still don't want to, there probably is another horrible conversation I don't want to participate in, but the group thought it's the best course of action. They're probably right, the hellriders wanted us to do this in exchange for their trust, but I don't like it. At least Leo promised me Fenrir would play my partner (with the selling point that Fenrir is super fertile, "which is important to humans". I honestly wonder how much shit I can tell Leo about humans before he starts doubting the things I say). I'm not even sure why I care this much. I haven't thought about him in years. Yet, I do want him to think I'm amazing and doing great.
Anyway, Urbane Justine told us Trystane was supposed to be at the eastern docks, trying to find supplies, or mostly water. If you ignore the earthquakes nothing weird happened on the way to the dock. Once we got there we found a very hungry (cannibalistic?) horse, which kinda proved we were at the right place.
Fenrir wanted to scout the warehouse, but didn't realize the lava would cook him in his metal armor. Combined with the poisonous gas it almost killed him! We still had to go inside though, so Bertha climbed onto the roof. When she couldn't find an entrance she tried to make one herself. The roof was a lot sturdier than expected, so she asked my help to remove the last tiles. The gas blew away through the hole in the roof, and once it was cleared out we could put a ladder through the new entrance so everyone could enter safely.
Inside we found two barrels of booze. Or at least, that's what we thought. Turned out one of them was a mimic. It wasn't so bad though, since it gave me an outlet for all the anger and disappointment you gave me. Way better way of dealing with it than lashing out at your sister who came to hell for you. But like I said, I'm generous and I really want us to make up, so I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. But seriously, use the anger or whatever you're feeling to attack the demons. Way more productive.
Looking forward to your apology,
Your sister,
Caja
