I reached the edge of Blackroot Forest a few moments ago. I will wait until morning to begin my journey through it, to find the Violet Rose needed for the medicine, that will cure my people of the strange plague that has befallen us.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6NShCGnax
The sickness starts off as an unusual black mark somewhere on your body. It then slowly grows in size until it covers the entire body. The infected will go mad and start attacking anything on sight. Once they have lost their mind, the cure will not work. The sickness is contagious, although we haven’t figured out how it spreads.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzUiwXstBQ
If you are reading this now that means the sickness has taken me, and I am possibly dead. I too am infected, however, I am the only one willing to travel to the forest to get the needed ingredients. Please tell Aeryn that I love her and that I am sorry for what I have done. I can be a better person.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gyqAnk7mQ
Here is the recipe for the medicine:
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9d34vbb2T
- 3 petals from a Violet Rose
- 6 pinches of Angel Rue
- 8 teaspoons of Spring Creeper
- Enough clean spring water to fill a small pan
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8LVnCIaZA
Chop up the rose petals and put them in a cup.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PlMVqlbqQ
Add the Angel Rue a little at a time. Mix the two up with a bit of the spring water to make a paste.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMIDu9wRzB
Fill a pan with clean river water. Add the paste to the water and bring everything to a boil for five minutes. Remove it from the fire and drain the liquid into a separate container, dispose of any leftover solids.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN16Qvw9lDh
Put the liquid back into the pan and add the Spring Creeper. Let it boil for 5 more minutes then remove from the fire and wait for it to cool.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLavgBt0iY
Drink the god awful medicine, and wait.

Morning is here, and the forest is silent. It is very unnerving, but this is what I must do for my people. The forest is said to be fairly small, but few people have made it out alive. I will continue writing for as long as I can during the trip.

The forest seems very calm and peaceful, but I have heard things scurrying around me. I stopped after a bit when I found a stream; the water was cool; I ate a little and then packed up and kept on my journey. I have not found the roses I am looking for.

I have stopped traveling for the night, and I hope to find the ingredients I need tomorrow. The sickness has completely covered my right leg and foot. I’m not too worried, it seems I still have about a month before the sickness consumes me. I will eat, drink, and rest next to a large tree tonight, and start up again early tomorrow.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJbGAl6u3U
This tree makes me feel uncomfortable, but the area around the tree is open, and a perfect spot to camp for the night.

I have a bit of a fever due to my leg and possibly the sickness. But I was able to get the petals needed, albeit with some scratches from the thorns. I have what I need and that’s all that matters.

The sickness seems to spread quicker here than it did back home. When I first contracted it a month ago it started around the heel of my foot, now is covers my entire lower body.

“Hey Emil, come look at this poor guy,” the man said as he lay the body down on the ground. (are they carrying the body?) “I’m going to pray for him and bury the body.”

“Jarrod, be careful you don’t know what happened to him,” Emil said as he walked up.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbSvRKYTPo
“What's this?” Jarrod muttered as he picked up the journal.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdCBRTgtn4
He opened the journal to the first page and tilted his head to the side like a curious pup. "This can't be right, his first entry was written five hundred years ago. There is no way he would look this preserved, especially the journal."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhCYwoHAJr
Jarrod began reading the entry aloud:

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZSJEhXtHC
He closed the book and quickly backed away from the body. “Sickness... I remember hearing about a plague that hit a village about the time this journal entry was written but it was cured! Why was he way out here if they had the cure?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBm2cjpQ1w
Jarrod reopened the journal, “Wait, why would he take this? This wasn’t the cure. I’m not sure what this is for but this wasn’t the cure for the sickness they had.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb1kRERwRj
Emil shrugged, “Who knows? Why not finish reading the journal and find out."
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoNxAKgoYW
"Yeah, I suppose you're right." Jarrod continued reading the journal entries until they began turning to gibberish.
