Dear Journal,
Today has been a very busy day! And even more exciting than expected!! The Harvest Festival started and I was having a lot of fun with my friends. We tried out the archery competition and I was sure I was gonna win! But Jordan and Mal narrowly beat me! Jordan went on to win our age group and the next! It was CRAZY! So we were chilling at our usual spot by the stable when a couple of very rich and powerful looking people came to town AFTER the merchants arrived! They told us the merchants were lying and the prophecies were coming true and the world might be ending. That killed the partying vibes but we tried to keep eating. Up until these weird monster things came out and started attacking us. Two of the nobles came over and helped save us. Their names were Lady Nortell and Lord Songsparrow. They said that my friends and I were the only one attacked, all our houses burned down! Thank God my mom survived. They said if we left with them, we could save our town from being attacked ever again and I had to help the town and trust the ones who saved me so we left with them. Right now I'm camped out in the middle of the forest, possibly surrounded by more of those monsters. But I feel safe with these adults. This is the farthest away I've been from home yet I feel excited this adventure I'm on with my friends. I feel more confident I've ever been! With my friends we can do anything!
