and looked around. It was pitch black, and I could barely see. Just the same cruddy place I was in. I got up and walked over to a small cave. I wandered around, and found an old torch. Huh. This must have been used in war. It's worn, and it smells funny. I dropped to torch, and continued to look around. I glanced over and saw a small diary on top of a rotting wooden table. Someone must have been hiding here long ago. I opened the diary and read the first page.

I have ran away from all the chaos and I am now hiding in this small cave. War has broke out between quarter one and quarter two of Clavia. Hopefully I won't get attacked from here. I have carried a torch and a small slab of wood to this location, for a desk and some lighting. I'm not supposed to be here. But it's better than being the warrior I am.

So they're a warrior. That's cool. Too bad it doesn't mention who it is, but then again this is fairly old... let's read the last page. I wanna see how this ends.

That's it. Were they found? Who knows. They have hid in this for almost a year... that's a long time. I guess I could go for a small walk around here, but I can't go too far. I started to follow my footprints that I have left in the ground from running so hard, until I saw something fly into the air. Fire. A small ball of fire, soared through the sky, until it struck the ground. Is it what I think it is? A... torch..? I continued to follow my footprints. Another torch. I ran back to the cave, and dove under the rotting table.
