The 16th of July, 1140

He found me. I used too much magic. My aura is covered in entropy. I can't believe it, I'm going back to him. Just thinking about him disgusts me, especially since he sent sirens. Is he mocking me? He sent them ashore to get me. I'm surprised he didn't send Selkies, I guess his jealousy would takeover. They pushed me along with their slimy hands while floating with specially made enchanted circlets. If he thought I would fall for their illusions he's wrong! I can clearly see their scaly fish tail swishing in the air behind them, moving them ever so slightly faster through the air. Their long and pointed teeth quite visible from their, as others would say, creepy smile. To me, their smile looked more like an excited child's smile as if they just got a new toy. I mean these sirens are children from their standards, 20 years before they are adults. I'm sure he will give them a toy to play with when they bring me to him. The fact they were children played into how they got me. I promised to protect children. I'm sure that lady wouldn't care but I'm not one to bend the rules.

I was starting to question whether or not they knew where they were going when they brought me into a small town. Of course, all the men turned and looked at, what appears to be, a group of women with no decency walking through the town. As they stare at the sirens I worry for their safety. I wish I could warn them. Around the middle of town was where we encountered people who could see through the illusions the sirens put up. They screamed in terror (and excitement, there are some weird people out there) for the whole town to hear. All hell broke loose.

I started to act. I pretended to be surprised when the illusion fell and acted panicked. It worked just like I thought it would, the townsfolk killed the sirens and got me some medical attention. I told them that I picked an entropy mana flower and the sirens warned me just before I would have combusted so, I assumed, they could eat me. I felt a wave of guilt the moment I was left alone. I was the reason the sirens were here and I lied to the town that helped me. I decided that this town would be better off without me. I didn't have anything to pack so I started on my way to leave.

I don't know why but a small bundle of joy ran up to me. She asked if I was ok and if the sirens were scary. She was adorable, I thought she was a little kid but then she introduced herself. "Hi, my name is Julia whats yours?" She asked politely. "My name is Spirit" I responded in the same manner. She was seventeen but she looked twelve. She was a Ramiel. Her ram horns were small and barely curved. Her short but fluffy red hair almost completely hid her horns. Her lime green eyes were bright with excitement. She had a slight, almost unnoticeable, tan. She was short, I mean really short, standing at a 4'9. Hey, my shortness is adorable! She wore a faded pink shirt along with plain shorts. She seemed to have a permanent and infectious smile.

After she asked me her big question, she asked adorable questions like 'What's your favorite color?' or 'Have you ever tasted nachos?' When I responded with no to that last question she gasped and ran off only to come back seconds later with a handful of what I assumed were nachos. For the next half-hour, Julia made me eat nachos. They were pretty good I was about to ask for more when a man started to run at us yelling "GIVE BACK THOSE NACHOS!" She dragged me to my feet yelling "LET'S GO!" and we were chased through town. I gotta admit I was having fun which is something I haven't had in awhile, maybe I should stay a bit longer.

Edit: the amount of times I have updated this part alone is more than the number of times I have mistaken the end of the week as the beginning of the week
