After Elhain left I should have felt lonely and anxious. After all, I did not have a place to go to anymore. However I started feeling free instead. The fact that I was not pressured by those people anymore because they were dead. Human beings are so disgusting. I should have burned down this village earlier! I didn't go back to the mansion to see wether or not they got killed. I did not care enough. So from that day on I decided to find Blast and join them. "Maybe I can finally be myself once I'm with them." I thought. Little did I know.

It has been one week since I started travelling on my own. Ever since Blast showed up I could rarely see people outside so I went to different cities and villages in order to find out about them and people who were born as Black Stones. I stole food, killed animals and disguised myself in order to survive. I spent all day in the library and used the night to travel in safety. It is exhausting. But I know it will be worth it. There is a book I found underneath ancient papers in an abandoned library. "Diary of a villainess." That is a catchy title for sure but as far as I remember most of the books, written by our kind were forbidden to read because they were to cause "harm". This seems to have hidden underneath those papers for many years so no one would bother throwing it away. Lucky me. The first page seems to be a map or something. But not of the world as I know it. Strange...I continue reading: "I was born as a natural villain. Despised by everyone. A parasite. Someone that children fear when they look at it. That is what I grew up with. Well that is exactly the reason why I decided to become a what they all expected me to be. There needs to be some kind of fairness in the world after all." It feels so good to finally relate to someone. "I will make everyone kneel before me. All the lifes I have taken. My cursed weapon Keria remembers. I am willing to take responsibility for all of them. But until then, let's have some fun. Ever since I became a member of Blast I only had one goal: Kill the king of demons. And become the queen of demons myself. This is the only way I can make sure to become completely free and take revenge on the world." As I keep reading I become more and more confused. So this is a plan of a person who wants be on top of the world. But it really looks like an unfinished diary. Most of the book is blank pages. I pick up the book and leave. I want to find out more about the "demons" and the person who wrote the book. Once again I decide to reread the pages in the evening. "Blast are suspecting me. But I do not care. Shall they all obey or die." Wait... I am pretty sure this sentence was not written there previously? I take a closer look. What is this? Another sentence appears on the paper like magic: "Let us burn it all down." Is this some sort of cursed magic? I have heard of it before. Black Stones usually have higher resistance to pain. They do not die easily and are good fighters. However there are some of them who were blessed or rather cursed with some sort of magic. Those are called demons. They rule the underworld. Maybe the person who wrote this diary is a demon in another time and her or his speciality is to write messages to the past. But then I would like to ask why does she not explain any of that in her diary? That is strange. As I keep traveling to my next village I feel like someone is watching me. The next thing I know is someone attacking me from behind. I can barely dodge. My technique seems to be better than his but he is stronger so I decide to run. It is not worth the risk. I run towards the forest and manage to hide behind a big tree but as I turn back, someone is standing right in front of me. "Where are you going my lady?" He whispers. Suddenly everything goes black.
