Entry 1
My name is June. I’m currently a student at Lumindor Academy, earning my qualification in magic and religion studies. My professor told me that I should start journaling, so… here I am.
Today, my friend Christoph told me it was weird that I grew up with only one parent. In the Grotto, people died everyday from starvation, diseases, and overworking. It didn’t strike me as odd until he mentioned it, but he’s right. I suppose if you lived somewhere where you didn’t have to worry about eating everyday, then having one parent would be abnormal.
I miss my mother, though. I was seven when she died, so I don’t remember that much, but I do remember that she was a good mother. She was always pushing me to be better and to go after my goals. She was always smiling, too. When she was gone, my father doted on me a lot more. I feel like he’s changed in other ways, too.
That concludes my entry for now. More to come later.
Entry 2
My father keeps sending me letters. I have no idea why. He insists I should “find better friends,” even though he doesn’t know them at all. Just because they’re rich doesn’t mean they’re bad people. He’s just going to have to deal with it.
Also, he’s started saying that he doesn’t like my clothes or the way I’ve been doing my hair. Little does he know, that every critique only strengthens my resolve. I tell him that this is a how modern times are now. Perhaps I’ll reconsider visiting him if this continues.
Entry 3
Last week was the Kaguya Festival. I went with Christoph and Seraphina, and we had a delightful time! The full Kaguya moon is so beautiful, as is our Goddess who created it. The food was amazing, as well, and I loved all of the performers. There was this one super good-looking guy named Drax who could manipulate the water and fire crystal shards to do these beautiful dances. Throughout the night, Seraphina kept pestering me to go and talk to him, but my timidity got the better of me. Oh well, maybe I’ll see him again next year…
Seraphina showed me this unique way of using an earth crystal to make small statues out of rock. She’s been having a lot of fun with it, and we laughed and made miniature statues all night long.
Christoph asked me out on a date, which was a surprise! I rejected him, though. I see him only as a friend. We were able to laugh about it, but I hope he’s doing alright.
I’ve been having such a good time recently, I haven’t thought about my father at all. If I keep ignoring his inane letters, then maybe he’ll leave me alone.
Entry 4
The world has been becoming more and more of a dangerous place. Some people say that the Goddess has forsaken us, but I don’t believe that to be true. It must be the work of that heinous Omin.
Last night, Verinth was hit with a massive storm. Strange rumors say that it was attacked by plants, whatever that means. Another one of my friends, Madeline, had parents who lived there, so she went home to see them. Christoph and Seraphina are also thinking about going home to Alteris, since Verinth is so close. Maybe it’s a good idea for me to visit home, too.
Actually, nevermind. I can’t take listening to my old man talk down to me again. I’ll stay here for the time being.
Entry 5
I slipped on some water and I cut my arm badly. I’m sorry if my handwriting is hard to read.
It’s been a month since my last entry. Something happened outside… but I don’t know what. I’m trapped in this basement, with nothing but this stupid, useless journal, and a quill with no ink.
I think Lumindor was flooded. I’m scared. I miss my dad. Rereading this journal, I wish I could take back all of the awful things I said. I wish I could tell him how much I love him. I’ve had so many opportunities, and I’ve wasted them all.
Goddess, I’m so scared. I don’t think I’ll live to see him again, but I pray that he finds this book. Daddy, I love you from the bottom of my cruel, cold heart.
I hope you won’t be lonely. I’ll tell mom you love her.
I’m so sorry. I hope you will forgive me.
