Month 3, Day 14

I think I've made a grave mistake.

When we crossed the Rift, we weren't thinking ahead. We were so elated, showing off the valiance of the Bloody Mist Legion.

When we discovered treasure within the Fire Temple, we whooped with joy, oblivious to what lay ahead.

My last day of happiness? Am I a prisoner now?

Month 3, Day 16

I was right. Kromede has bound me here.

When I see her, my breath catches in my throat. She's so beautiful! She belongs to some other, better world.

Now that I know how powerful she is, how pitiless, I'm scared to death.

Why did she imprison me here? I can't even begin to guess.

Month 6, Day 5

Kromede is like a second sun in this desolate underworld.

I often think of Elysea and Agairon Village, and Hannet. But my memories seem...dull, unappealing. Love wouldn't fade so fast. Not true love.

No. Even if I am imprisoned in Asmodae, in the Fire Temple, forever...I will be happy if I can just be with Kromede.

I wonder whether she loves me as I love her...

Month 8, Day 28

Kromede led me to a room brimming with treasure and ordered me to guard it.

She cast spells on me. To protect me, she says, but...I feel heavy, now. Leaden. And whenever she looked at me...I felt no mirth in her laughing gaze.

I don't care! I just want to be near her. To be apart is agony! This place is good. It's home.

Month 13, Day 4

I've started hearing things.

At first I thought that the Guardian Statues were crying, but I've watched them all day and they've not moved.

If I listen very closely, I can hear someone begging. "Please help me!" Over and over. Over and over.

I must be going mad!

Month 15, Day 13

I've spoken to Agnita, who is bound into the Sacred Chalice.

She's told me stories of Kromede's cruelty. Oh, I am terrified now!

Every time she comes to me, my blood runs icy cold. If I anger her, she do away with me as she did to Agnita.

How could I have loved such a heartless, pitiless, soulless monster?

Month 42, Day 25

Agnita asked me if I wanted to escape, go back home....

While Kromede seduced me, thoughts of home were...difficult. But since she bound me to the treasure room, I often reflect on Elysea and Hannet.

But now... Agnita would be alone in darkness if I left. I cannot leave her now.

And Kromede's will is vastly stronger than my own...
