U:IX:Jordan's Journal
Title: Jordan's Journal
Author: Jordan
Day 1
I'm on my way to Valoria! I know this will be easier than Sir Robin said it would be. After hearing him in the tavern in Britain talking about the monsters and demons in Valoria, you'd think they were immortal! He looked like a coward to me... I'm surprised they even let him be a Knight of Valor. I know I'm better suited than him, so they'll surely let me in after I've solved their demon problem.
Day 2
The ship is holding together well, despite the storms that are brewing. My mother Flann was worried about me going off across the ocean alone, but she'll feel much better once I can send her word that I've become a Knight of Valor. Imagine her little Jordan being a Knight! She'll be so proud.
Day 4
I don't know what to do now... my ship is ruined! The storm grew worse, and the ship is now wrecked on the south side of the island. I tried to make it to the docks, but the winds were just too strong to fight. I went to the entrance to the Fortress of Valoria, thinking they might help me by providing a new ship, but they won't even let me in the front gate! I can't believe these are the Knights of Valor that I've always heard about. Compared to these guys, Sir Robin back in the tavern was a brave man. I could have sworn that the guard at the front gate was even afraid of me.
Day 6
This is horrible. What was I thinking? No wonder those Knights are always staying locked in their fortress. This place is crawling with undead, and I fear for my life. I was attacked by a zombie today, and thought I was fine, until another one came out of nowhere and almost killed me. I was lucky to get away, but my sword was snatched from me. My enchanted bow is still in the chest on my ship, but there's some huge crab there now, and without a sword, I can't get past it to get to my bow. More than anything, I just want to leave this place.
Day 8
It is with a heavy heart that I write this last entry, and I know it will be my last. This morning I was wounded in another attack, and I can feel the poison spreading. All I can do now is wait, and write this last entry in the hopes that someday my loving mother may see these words. To you, Flann, my mother, I am sorry I left you. I wish with all my heart that I had stayed with you, to help you take care of all of my brothers and sisters. With my dying breath, I want you to know that I love you.
Your adoring son,
Jordan
