The adventures in the mine

Dear Diary,
A lot happened since I wrote last time. We visited some mines and it was a nice but not so nice experience. We had to leave The Monument of Life island and go to another. Eve told us about the mines before. It was said that there was a bad magic men who lived there once. So we decided to go and get some money or something. We traveled for a bit and we got to a port near the mines. We had to get ready for the mine so we started getting materials. Eve and Bart said we needed torches, so I went to find some wood. Later, we met again. Bart and Nixie also brought the necessary ingredients. But we were missing some fabric. I wanted to steal some, but Eve said she had a better idea. She took a part of her clothes, and from my cape, and used them for the torches. She also left for a bit and got new clothes. And after all of these, we had six torches.

 
I was curious why Talion didn't give us some Ionolian clothes, but the others told me that we shouldn't use those, because in Ionolia, "the clothes make the man". I wasn't sure I understood, but I think i kinda do now?

 
We went to some weird old mines. There were a lot of entrances and something called "rails". They looked very empty. I don't think anybody came here for a looonggg time. The first time I saw them, I did not know what to think of them. We went inside, and there was not much to see. Just stones and rails. On the way, we arrived at some kind of house. I didn't know you can do houses inside a mountain. Can you do that in volcanos as well?

 
It did not take us too long to get to the first magic thing. On the floor, near the rails, there were some weird stone drawings. They call them "runes". For me, they were some kind of lines that magic men use to make bum bum with lightings. So how I understood it: You put power one side, it goes to the big shiny stone in the end, and they came back with more power and make you die. Trust me, they hurt pretty bad. I was hit by them more than a lot.

 
We walked through the mines for some time. We even slept there. There were a lot of falling stones . First, we were riding a mine moving thing, some stones started to fall on us. Nixie saved me and Bart but the others, who were slower, were not so lucky. But thanks to our muscle guy, Heron, they were saved. The second time, we were the ones falling like a stone. The moving mine thing was going very fast, and we went straight, into a hole. Nixie saved us again. Her powers are getting srtronger. I am so very proud of her! She can basically control all the earth and save us all. One day, she will be a great sorcerer and I will be happily staying at her side. I'm glad I brought her here, it was the best decision I have ever made. She will not say it, but she loves everyone and will take care of them.

 
There were a lot of runes in the mine. At first, Talion, Eve and Bart tried to understand them. But they didn't know much. So we decided to test them. Talion volunteered to send the magic into the runes. I saw everybody stepping a lot back but I didn't want to leave Talion alone. He might need help. So I stayed in front. I got a bit fried but I am happy I did. While the rune did the bum bum on us, I could see how it did the bum bum. I tried to explain to the others because Talion didn't see and I think they understood.

 
Bart came up with a plan to make the big shiny stone to not be so shiny. Talion drew some new runes and tried to activate the system again. Apparently, he made them on the other way around. This time, the lightnings hit us all. We all do mistakes, and it can happen. I wasn't mad at Talion, but he started to say it was our fault for not stepping back. I just wanted to help..... I like Talion but sometimes he really is mean.
After the runes were repaired, Talion tried his best to do the plan. But, after a while, he was to tired. In the meantime, Heron and me wanted to make some way through the mud. It was very funny but we ran out of air. We were both covered in mud. Bart came to help and we got out of there. He is always there to help us and to make us smile. I'm really happy he's our friend.

 
We saw that this plan would take too much, so we decided to do something else. Each rune, had another rune that were somehow opposite. We said it would be a good idea to use power in both the runes at the same time. It worked! We did that for the other runes as well. Talion and Nixie decided to take some of the shiny stones. We moved a bit more through the mines, and in the end, we got in front of two big walls, each had 3 stones on it. I wanted to go in front, but when I did, a lot of lightnings hit the shiny stones Nixie and Talion had, and all of us were fried. We had to stop it fast or we will all die.

 
Lucky us, Eve is smart and brave. She tried to stop the moving stones and connect them with the others, of the same color. She was not strong enough alone so she got fried...again. But she gave us a great idea. I suggested that we should go the same thing she did, but together. While we did that, Bart went there and took Eve to a safe place, while Talion tried to protect the rest of us. We did work like a team, only I wish Eve would have been feeling better. Heron and Nixie were also very brave. They really helped us a lot in this fight. And Bart, he doesn't fight with force, but he helps us with his ideas and he saved Eve.

 
We walked for a bit more, and we saw an old house, with a skeleton and a really powerful shiny stone. Talion wanted to see if there was magic there, but we were too far. We didn't see anything dangerous, so we went into the house. Eve stayed behind, because she really didn't feel well. And I can understand why. The house was very normal, a bit too normal. There were some rat holes in the walls, but apart from that, nothing much. Bart read about some dead rats that had lighting runes on them. So Nixie wanted to cover the holes. But I said that we shouldn't use magic because we don't know what it can do. Nixie stopped.

 
Talion had good intentions. He wanted to see if the orb is dangerous, so he used some kind of kind of skill that detects magic. I think? Of course, the very next second, the room began to be covered in rats. I m not mad at Talion because he used magic when I asked him not to. Ok, maybe just a little bit. I am more mad that, he used something he does not understand how it works. In a serious situation, I do not use a sword that I don't know how to use so he shouldn't use magic that he doesn't know it's magic. I think he should have listened to what he learned in school.

 
The whole room was now, almost full of rats. I remember Heron trying to attack them, but when they died, some lightning hit Heron. So we had no chance to kill all of them before they killed us. And they were quickly covering the door. I did not know what to do, but I had to do something. I did not want to see my friends die in a room full of dead rats. Not when we got so good friends. So I tried to free the door. I don't remember much from that moment. I know I went through the door and make way for the others to exit. But then everything turns black.

 
When I woke up again, we were outside the mines. I remember that my body hurt a lot when I woke up, and I wanted a loooott of meat. Everyone was there, I was so glad to see they are safe. Nothing hurt anymore when I saw them there. I was so relieved I don't know much about how they got out. But they did. Nixie seemed very scared. I did not want to worry anyone, and I'm sorry for that. And they saved my life. I do not know how to thank them enough. Eve took care of me, even if she was more hurt than us. She healed our hands. She is so kind. She poured some kind of healing liquid on our hands, but not on hers. I took the bottle and put some of that liquid on her hands as well. I hope she will feel better.

 
Dear diary, the more I know this party, the more I like them. They are all kind and willing to help each other. I really really want all of them to survive this journey and have a great life. And I want us to always be a family.

 
May the Almighty be with us.
