Here's what happened next: about six people tried to come and kill us. Lucky for us, the rules of the Sloughgor prevent more than six allies- you'll be killed very painfully by some monsters if you have too many allies. We fought them off, but just. Pygon was knocked out after he chased off one of the Slogurs. Nico fought for a bit, scared off one, then collapsed. Kade and I chased off four of them before slumping to the ground. Well, now that that's over with, let's tell you why Nico doesn't like girlfriends much.


It started simply. Boy likes girl, girl likes boy. Dates. Kissing. That was before Incinerus rose to power. He hasn't been village elder long. Roughly a year. Anyway, Nico was on a date when some of Incinerus' men thought it would be fun to randomly pick someone to execute. Nice, right? And you know who got picked? No, not Nico's girlfriend- it was actually Nico. And man, did he freak out. So of course his girlfriend pretended to be him and was murdered in his place. So now he hates the idea of dating anyone ever again. He doesn't want to ever let anyone be hurt for him again. 


I suppose if he feels that way, he should be upset over Noah's death. He should be worried about the beam falling during that message Jack sent. Not me. 


I just hope Noah isn't the traitor. If he is, I'll make all his allies pay. Because even if he is the traitor, I don't want him dead. Not yet anyway.
