The Logs of Garral the Red Mage

[Garral]

Well...yeah, I'll post the ones I have written so far here, then update it as time goes by. Keep checking THIS post, I'll simply edit it to add more.

-----
Red Mage's Log: First Entry: My companions ran off while I went to buy new equipment, I am now chasing them through the desert... ...My cape is scuffed, I hope I don't need to buy a new one. Gigan Centipedes fall to my blade, but what if they're not here...?

Red Mage's Log: Second Entry: I have now entered the dread jungles where I was destroyed at my last attempt to persue my companions. Why would they leave me like that? I have put up camp, but soon I'll chase after them, I WILL catch up to them, hopefully before I get devoured by tigers...

Red Mage's Log: Third Entry: I have battled fierce monsters. I have slain horrible creatures. And now I sit, in camp, staring at this dread tower before me. Are my friends in there? Do they need my help? I must go in and rescue them! Heh, I bet the traitorous jerks are really hurtin' without Cure right now!

Red Mage's Log: Fourth Entry: That was a waste of my damn time. The cathedral is locked, and my companions are nowhere to be seen. Where are they? Will I find them? Will I EVER get those bloodstains out of my hat? I shall attempt to find the mark town next, perhaps they are there...

Red Mage's Log: Fifth Entry: I have found my companions! They asked me what took me, and I simply stuck my rapier in Sagem's hat, irritated as I was. They insisted I needed something called the mark, so I simply went along with it, as they bickered among each other. I don't like the dragoon, he's such a cocky fellow... Oh well, at least I found them. I have battled horrors beyond the fathomings of normal man. And now we're going back to Dainen to pick up a new member, goddammit.

Red Mage's Log: Sixth Entry: Finally that dragoon and his friend left, they were such whiners! Always complaining and such, really wanted to stab 'em with an Ice1 I did! Oh, Sagem got that stain out of my hat, who knew Lit1 could do that? Well, now we rest, and in the morning, onward, to the mark town! Perhaps we'll meet some new companions, ones that aren't stupid... ...And if Sagem sticks his elbow in my face again, I'll Ice1 him, I swear.

Red Mage's Log: Seventh Entry: After a crushing defeat at the hands of the trolls of the fallen city, we set out on another journey, to try again! This time with new companions. Xere's way of recruiting people is...questionable, at best, but he's got a good heart. Sagem seems to have oddly stopped talking, and we are waiting for his leadership. Oh, he started talking again. Well, either way, our party is full, and Sagem and I aren't leaving without Xere, we could be here for a while...

Red Mage's Log: Eighth Entry: After a horrific encounter, somehow we are all alive. We lost the dragoon and ranger, they stopped moving, and we had to leave them behind... Our Blue Mage dissapeared as well, what is going on?... And these zombies, what is the meaning of all of this? We must press forward, and get to the bottom of this mystery. I have just consumed a healing potion, at least one of us must be at full strength when we are attacked again. It was a close call, but we will perservere! Together we can overcome all! Phew... Onward we trek, now!

Red Mage's Log: Ninth Entry: What have I done!? I let Lanya die, and now I blame myself for--...What the? Xerex just said Sc's bald head gives him a stiffy... What is this stiffy? And why does it make me grossed out so much? As for the party, we're doing well, as hodgepodge as we are. Sagem seems to like to rifle through my stuff, Xerex has a serious problem with kicking things, Sc has an unfortunate tendancy of drawing monsters like flies to a dead animal, and Lanya is extremely quiet... ...Oh! Wonderful, now I have new stains in my hat! Will the horror never end?! And this dang mark on the back of my hand JUST WON'T COME OFF!!!! I scrub and I scrub and...Baaah! My beauty is ruined!

Red Mage's Log: Tenth Entry: Xerex is a fool! We were camping, awaiting for our strength to return to brave the ruined cathedral, and he up and ran off to fight! We barely came out of it alive, and now we are resting. Lanya, you are silent but beautiful...What thoughts lurk underneath that sapphire blue hair? Oh! No time for romance now, my cape has been torn, damn... I must mend that! Otherwise, I will no longer be dashing! Tomorrow we brave the horrors of the tower, and of its' master. From what I have gathered, his name is Val. Sagem says he is a vampire, but such things don't exist... Do they?! I'm scared of vampires... But we will perservere, and continue our quest! We shall not fail, and we shall rid this world of evil!

Red Mage's Log: Eleventh Entry: After long last, and many defeats, I have conquered Vallatio and his cathedral! Oh, how I missed you, my dear log book. You are my only recourse in this insane world, if only you knew where I could get a replacement feather after mine was destroyed by a Gargoyle's Fire spell. I now stand outside the Death Mountains, about to venture inside, what horrors await me within? And I also fear HE has followed me here, if he has, that will make my journey all the harder...

Red Mage's Log: Twelfth Entry

That damn crow! I am finally able to write again, after retrieving my book from a conniving bird. I currently write this in the middle of battle, sitting back and watching my party struggle against the darkness of the Cathedral. I am stronger now, stronger than I ever could have imagined, so... ...I think I deserve a break! I purchased a new cape, re-feathered my hat, and even had a little fling with one of the ladies at the bar. Things are going well for me now, ho-ho! Ho indeed.

Oh goddammit. I must put down my log book, for K-lo has gotten himself killed again.

Red Mage's Log: Thirteenth Entry

Bunnies. The voices in my mind, they command me to kill bunnies.
--Later--
I went and killed bunnies, but they insisted, they were all out to get me. The bunnies are truly the worst chaotics of them all! I ran across a troll, two of them, one named..Kaulk? No, Kaug. And we did battle, the evil, master of the bunnies!

It...it took hours. And then in the end, our eyes met, and we knew we were evenly matched... ....Then his guard brought his club down upon my head, and I knew no more. Except bunnies. Bunnies in my mind.

Red Mage's Log: Fourteenth Entry

What luck! It seems Captain Kangaroo's "charge" turns out to be none other than my old friend Ayumi, and she's going to Lirea, where Kumog, the dragoon is going to meet her! Two of my old friends in one trip, how can I refuse? It's been years.
---Later---
We sit here in the Death Mountains, before the room where I first encountered the dread king of the trolls, Kaug. We are all tense, but I am sure we can win this. There's no way we cannot! It is time to do battle.
---Later---
Today is a sad day.

The battle with Kaug was long and arduous, both sides fighting to their fullest. And then he did it. The brave Captain Kangaroo leapt at the troll during a moment of weakness, and kicked him down into the crevace from which he came! As we went to cross the bridge, he leapt up upon the ropes.

"I'm not done with him yet!" and he jumped. Down, into the dark. We all tried to stop him, and yet...

Our valiant friend, I will drink a toast to you. Staunch Nobuo assures me you will live, but... ...I can't be so sure.

(Compiled all of the previous updates into a new post.)

Fourteenth Entry(part 2):
I cannot express in words how happy I am to be reunited with my old friends here in Lirea. We prepared to set out in our exploration of Ruoze, but will not go just yet. The dangerous beasts in the forests prove to be too much for Ayumi and Nobuo, and even happen to be a danger to I. Kumog, the fool, keeps putting her in danger!

Fifteenth Entry:
The shadow man.

He wants me to take over the world.
He's chasing me. He won't leave me be. Why do my veins burn...

Sixteenth Entry:
Never again will I trust an Anaran! After eating the meat they gave me, I became sickly and delirious, seeing things! Many things! After Kumog woke me up with a rousing slap of the scythe, we yet made more plans. Ruoze...why does it seem so familiar?

Seventeenth Entry:
In Ruoze. The spirits are crying. Crying...sobbing, fear, sadness, hatred..all of these feelings. None of the others can see or hear them, see the spirits of the dead... Women, children, warriors like us.. I...I can't think st---------*a long line is drawn here down the page, as if the writer collapsed*

Eighteenth Entry:
I am currently in the Inn. It seems I passed out in Ruoze.. According to Kumog, I mumbled about my family on the way back here. Dare I tell them that this is where my mother and father were seen last? And the insistant cries of the spirits.. ...One possessed me, I am told. A spirit named Ragnarok. What his purpose is I've yet to fathom, but surely it can't be bad.

Surely this world has some good in it.

Nineteenth Entry:
The King of Dinosaurs has fallen, with the assistance of two rangers, one of whom the others..did not seem to notice, named Sarm. The other was an artist named Akira Toriyama. A strange fellow to be sure.

Mother. Father. This was not your final resting place, or I would have seen your spirits.. Please be proud of me. As soon as the dinosaur fell, the crying stopped, and the world seemed at peace for once. Sarm disappeared in front of our eyes, perhaps his purpose for being tied to this world finally was fufilled.

Why are the Chaotics here? Who put them here? Why do they only infest the Hunting Grounds..? I wish I had the answers to these questions, the suffering souls of others and their cries echo throughout the lands, but surely I can't be the only one to hear them?

Twentieth Entry:
The King of Anara got an -explosive- present for being a dick.
And that silly chemist...heh heh, I sure hope he likes dinosaur phermones! As for Hassen...they all look like my father. Pale skin, red eyes..

So he must have been a Hassite. Heh, this place is as close to a heritage as I'm going to get, I suppose.
