Lovley times in Evo Drive

Dear diary,
This XY dimension is not half as bad as it seemed when we came here for the first time. It’s not as exciting or beautiful as our dear home, but I could get used to coming to visit once in a while. I do wonder however, how are the other dimensions? If we ever get to stop whatever it’s going to destroy them, it would be nice to make a small trip in all of the dimensions. For a year or two. Although, I do feel the experience would be different since we wouldn’t be wanted by the police or involved with weird people that want to destroy the greatest religion in their dimension.
 
I’m not gonna lie, but I do wonder sometimes if anything will amaze me after this journey is over. The Sapphire Fountain was the main amazement for us for a while, then we met the dragons, then the Primordial tree, and many others. I do fear that at some point, this long list is going to come to an end. But again, maybe I should not underestimate the wonders of this world. Until a few days ago, I did not know there is a “space” in which you can fly to begin with. I am not necessarily curious to understand how all these things work like Kelly, Bart and Damaschini. For me it’s more of the excitement for the unknown that is interesting and of course, the satisfaction of discovering something new. I used to feel this quite often during this journey, but I was so tired that it seems I have forgotten about it lately.
 
Anyways, we have been traveling for some time in a moving city (EVO DRIVE, *ahem* for those who really want to know the accurate term) so I have time to tell you all about the last few days. We spent another week or so in the Valva bar. The place was very crowded at night, especially when those Braski were fighting but I got used to it. And that strong drink of theirs is interesting once your neck stops burning from it. The first days were a tiny bit more difficult. After a good night rest, we all gathered together to discuss the plan of how to attract “sponsors” to help us. But by now, you already know us. Making a plan usually ends up taking hours because we get distracted very easily. That day was no different.
Sometime in the middle of the discussion about what kind of people we should try to meet, we saw Marc giving Dillen some money. It seems that they made some kind of bet, and Marc was now owing Dillen. I guess some old habits never change and even once they take of their old skins, snakes do remain snakes until the very end of times. But, dear diary, guess what the bet was about. “If Verfy would say the correct name of the Prime know-it-all”. OF COURSE, I DIDN’T. I HATE NAMES. And that sneaky snake knows it too. No need to get angry at him, it is not something bad that he said anyways. But do not worry Dillen sneaky snake, if drama is what you wish for, I am always happy to help. We still need to somehow entertain the crew, don’t we? But I learned my lesson, if I do it now, it would be too obvious. I’ll just wait a tiny bit. Just put on a show for now. And I am very sure that Marc will be more willing to help with my plan and share the money with me. Actually, he can keep the money, I just want a good laugh.
 
Also, just because I do not write the correct names, does not mean I do not know them. It’s not much of a philosophy. I know a mast is called a mast not a “stick that catches the wind”. I actually do remember most of the names of places we have been to, or things I did not know before, but I just do not like necessarily calling them like that.
So, to prove you that I am not as stupid as Dillen thinks, here how the whole Prime know-it-all works:
1. Zeith, is the actual religion that worships the information
2. Zidith, is the tall tower that gets information from all the 9 starts and sends them to be decripted
3. The Prime Zeith, is the star where the Zidith exists.
Well, Dillen sneaky snake, I hope now you are happy with your victory. It’s not going to last for long. Now, back to the more important parts of the story. Despite all the fuss and interruptions, we were still trying to find a way to continue our mission. We had many ideas: work as bounty hunters or try to be escorts or convince people we have star essence. But you know, killing people for money doesn’t really sound fun to any of us. Bart was surprisingly alright with the idea, but I think it’s because it would have been the fastest way to get out of the underground. Slowly we started to put the ideas together and we came up with a great conclusion: Find a person who is rich, somehow of an outlaw themselves and crazy enough to believe us.To me, it sounded a bit of an impossible thing to find given the fact that we wouldn’t be able to exit the bar without being hunted. Little did we all knew that what we were looking for were MOST people that do not believe in the Commonwealth of this dimension. It was not one or two people, BUT ENTIRE FACTIONS and most of them seemed ready to start a war.
You know, I do sometimes wonder how much of what I see is real and how much is my imagination. I am seriously starting to question my sanity. Maybe when Xantinya shot me with that lightning, I fell into a coma and this is just a dream I have or something. I don’t know but the more we continue this journey in xy the more I feel it can’t be real. Then again, from where would my mind get all these crazy ideas? This question is perhaps one of the reasons I haven’t gone insane yet. I do have imagination, but not to this extent. And to be fair the most surprising things about it all is that PEOPLE ACTUALLY DID NOT QUESTION IF OUR INFORMATION IS TRUE OR NOT. I might actually get used to the idea that we do not sound as crazy as we think we do. Or maybe people here are so intoxicated that they lost their minds as well. So I do not know which one is true, but I cannot complain. Whatever it is, I am glad that the now people in two dimensions believe us.
 
So, before we made this great plan to contact weird people, we went to talk with the bartender. When I mean “we” I mean Bart and Nixie. I just went with them in case there was a fight or something. I have learned from my past mistakes. I only talk with people that can understand feelings. Cold and rational people are not for me. They make too much sense, and I do not have sharp answers to reply to their questions. It is one of those cases when trying to help might cause more harm. So, I do prefer to stand aside. While I was grabbing the morning drink, Nixie and Bart told the bartender what we are searching for. He seemed to know some people that could help. It was about some kind of organization called “THE CHAIN” or something. It is some kind of organization that condemns the mutations but accept the mutants. Well before the bartender could get in contact with them, he needed to know the answer to the one question we had no clue how to reply to: “Where are you coming from?”.
You know, out of all the questions that one can ask, why is this always the hardest one to answer for us? No matter what we reply to this, people look at us weirdly. If we tell the truth we risk giving important information to the wrong people, if we do not tell the truth, we are unreliable unidentified creatures. So pray tell, dear diary, how do you FUCKING ANSWER THIS FUCKING QUESTION without becoming the main attraction for a whole dimension?
In the end, the bartender was so done with our failed attempts to lie so he stopped asking. He told us that he will put a good word for us and showed us another contact that could help us: some kind of scientist that just entered the bar. Well, it was a worth trying to talk with them. We first returned to the chest and discussed what we found out with the others. It was Kelly and Dillen’s turn to do their job of negotiating. Kelly said we should rely on something called “the warp” which is basically the translation for “the unknown”. It is apparently the most interesting thing around here. But we needed proof that we could have something like this. I suggested we should use my black fire sword as a sample. But since I did not want to give it away, we had to find something else. Thank the Almighty we have Xixi in our party. Some of us are just blessings on this world. I do not really know how we would have survived so far without people like Xixi and Vas.
 
So, now that we had all that we needed, Kelly, Bart, Dillen sneaky snake and me left the chest again. Bart was supposed to walk around the bar and keep an eye on things. Again, I was there only and only if things would go down with a fight. The conversation with the science guy did go alright, although the chances of helping each other were rather small. He was extremely busy, and it would have taken us too much time to get a reply for him. Kelly tried her best to negotiate with him, but the guy was not very friendly. In the end we gave them the blood and wanted to return to the chest. But, before we could do that, we got approached by a guy from another table.
He looked exactly like a naftaim but his eyes were of a weird white. He was curious about the conversation we just had. Kelly seemed a bit suspicious but we decided to sit down nonetheless. As they were talking, Kelly suddenly stood up and excused herself for the conversation. That left Dillen and me to talk with this new guy (for those who care, his name is Alidag). I was waiting for Dillen sneaky snake to start saying something, but he was looking at me. During this awkward silence, Alidag dropped the bomb question: “So, where are you coming from?”. GREAT! Now, out of all times, when I really wanted to hear one of Dillen’s sharp replies, he decided to shut his mouth and look at me with puppy eyes. “You know better Verfy.” I will remember that Dillen! A looong loong time from now. I tried to use the excuse Kelly told us. “We are coming from far away, from a planet from the Outer Rim.”, I tried to excuse myself. “You’re not from this universe, are you?” asked Alidag. I don’t even know why I tried to hide it. I mean, 1. I wouldn’t have believed myself either and 2. They guy seemed to know who we are before we sat down and 3. Even if he was joking, he would have realized it’s true just by our reactions. I do strongly believe some people are born with a certain talent, and mine is definitely not talking with people. I really need to learn how to talk with people or just make sure I am never again near any conversation.
I was about to reply with something but luckily, Bart came to rescue, and introduced himself to our new possible partner. Right on time, Bart! The guy seemed to have an interesting suggestion for us, so it was time to talk a bit more. But the place was not right, since it was an open bar where we were probably listened by half the people there. So, Alidag suggested we take a “smoke break”. He left two cigarettes on the table, and a small “chip” with a weird sign on it. It was some diamond shaped sign with a five-corner star inside. The “chip” disappeared very fast. Then, Alidag said goodbye and then left the bar.
 
We hurried back to the chest and let the others know. To be fair, I did not know if I should trust this guy or not, but for some reasons, I did not feel that threatened by him. Nixie, Tallion, Bart, Damaschini and me went outside as we were supposed to. In a blink of a second, we were not on the street anymore, but instead, we found ourselves in some kind of box. Well here we were to the discussion. Before anything else, Alidag made us promise to never say a word about him or this meeting. He also said that his name is fake. What a tease. Why tell us that it is not your real name, if you won’t even tell us your real name. Now, you know that I love to stick my nose where I’m not supposed to, but if we ever meet this guy again, I will find out his name one way or another. Alidag started by telling us about his purposes. It seems he belong to some war faction named Orshag. They are declared enemies of the Commonwealth, and do not believe in the death. From what Alidag said, the purpose of the Orshags is to fight for life. For many years now, they wanted to destroy the Zidith because it is just a way to control the information and it’s the greatest weapon to manipulate the masses. Nixie said remind her of the fastodans, but it does not seem so to me. I don’t know the Orshags so well, but they do not give me the same feeling. In return for the nice welcomin, we gave them as much information as we could give them on the spot: About the apocalypse that is coming, about the other dimensions and so on. To be fair, I still do not know what to think of the Orshags and especially of this guy Alidag. He seemed a bit suspicious from the beginning. He said he found out about us from the police people that arrested us. It seemed to me that he would do a lot of things to be able to make an understanding with us. Which is good for our cause, but it makes me think that what they are going to ask in return is a bit unreasonable. But it’s not a detective work to find this out, so I believe the other sensed it as well. So basically, he offered us weapons, identities, and everything we needed, and in return, we would need to come to their capital to talk with their boss. To show his good will, Alidag even removed a small tracking device from Nixie. It seems it was put there while she was staying at the bar.
 
Nonetheless, everyone seemed at least a bit attracted by Alidag’s suggestion. He suggested that in 6 days, we should meet at the same spot, and he will take care we have everything we need. We then returned to the chest and talked with the others. Some of us wanted to go with this deal, some of us wanted to wait and talk with the “Chain” people as well. Since we had so many days to spare, we decided it would be wise to hear their opinions as well. There is one thing I do not like about this dimension. If they help you, everyone wants something in return. They will not just help you from the kindness of their hearts. I understand why they are like this, but I still do believe it is a bit cruel. And the saddest part about all of this it’s that loyalty can be so easily bought. All you need is to have some “leverage” you can work with, and money. And yes, there is plenty of loyalty for different causes here, but I did not see a loyalty for each other as people. I am sorry dear diary; I have started to write too much. I will get back to the story.
Since we did not have a way to contact anyone, all we could do is wait. Finally, we had some time to breath and train and whatever else we wanted to do. In the first few days, the trainings went alright, and we had time to talk and laugh. It was rather enjoyable. I may seem a lot more positive now, but at that time, the thoughts of not being a good friend, and regrets and so on kept distracting me from time to time. I decided that staying alone and trying to figure out what o do would not help, so I decided to ask someone. I went to Tallion first. I don’t talk much with Tallion nor spend time with him, so I thought it would be nice to try to listen to each other once in a while. And maybe, just maybe I was hoping that if I had to explain the problem, it would become more clear to me.
As we were talking about it, something pained in red and black started running near us. For a slight second, I was ready to pull my sword, but then I realized it’s Eve. She seems she is not doing alright at all. That demon must be really playing with her. She told us how Nixie suggested that painting might help with stress and since she didn’t find any paper, she decided to paint her face. She seemed to have heard our conversation and wanted to join. Then, out of nowhere, Bart appeared there as well, and then Nixie too. HOW IN THE HELL DID THEY GET HERE SO FAST? And like that, my whole conversation with Tallion somehow became a super big deal.
 
This is precisely why I did not want to say a word in the first place. It was not something I should worry everyone with. It was a tiny problem, which I was sure it would have been solved if I talked with Tallion. I just…needed to put my thoughts in order a bit. It’s true I tried to swift the attention to Eve, who seemed upset at Bart but it did not work. They quoted me saying that I should not lie during the together trainings and that I was supposed to tell my feelings. First of all, I never lied during a together training. Second of all, THAT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A TOGETHER TRAINING. It was just a simple problem that could have been solved without attracting the attention of everyone in that chest. Just a casual discussion with Tallion. But under Nixie’s order, it became a together training. She even locked the door and asked Drenizek and Dillen to guard it so I don’t break it. I must take the compliment that she thinks I am strong enough to break a door, but I did not appreciate the rest. I would have not run from a together training, not even in a thousand ages. Why would I even do that? They are made for help. Also, precisely since I am aware of that, if I would have needed a together training, I would have asked for one. It would not be the first time I would have asked for one because I was not feeling well, and probably not the last either.
Well, in the end, even the crew joined this together training. At this point it did not quite matter. I told them the problem and the together training did its job. It was a bitt too much hassle for nothing but it did accomplish the purpose. Also, it was kind cute that each one of them tried to give me advice. It made me a tiny bit happy. However, I must admit, they did not seem that they understood the problem as well. It was probably because I did not know how to properly explain it. I did however try to put my thoughts in order and to clarify the problem. “I do feel that what I do is not enough” I said. I know they don’t feel the same, that they feel like I always help, but I don’t feel that. I do not feel I was enough of a daughter, I am not enough of a friend, or enough of anything. It is the same old feeling that I had when I saw Flavia died. It is a fear that is constantly somewhere there in my thoughts. But every time I try to fight it off because I do not want it to harm the others. It is like a battle I have with my own feelings and I cannot afford to lose it. So I always try to find reasons to keep moving, to fight just a little longer. Lafk’u was right, everything is a fight.
Bart said something about using this feeling as a motivation for training harder. For the time being I think that would be a good idea. It might help me practice shooting with a gun. I absolutely hate it.
But there was more to discuss. We returned back to Eve and Bart. We tried to convince Eve that she should not worry and that Bart was only trying to do something nice and not actually lying. Eve seemed that she wanted Bart to be there for her bit at the same time that she wanted him to stay away. Nixie on the other side, was very happily trying to steal Eve from Bart. If that was her way of saying "Bart, you should take care of Eve", it was not working. She probably just made Eve more upset at Bart, and Bart probably a bit annoyed at Nixie. Nixie just can't resist doing it, can she? I believe she loves getting herself in trouble. If she wants trouble, she will get trouble. But not from Eve. I tried to stop Nixie by pulling her hair and kissing her,o the surprise of some people. Done, her attention was diverted from Eve. To be fair, me and Nixie kissed quite often (the drunk stories are the best) so for her it wasn't really a surprise. But she probably got distracted. I should be more careful with this matter, I do not want to open old wounds or unnecessarily hurt other people.

Note to self: Do not make any jokes about Dillen and Nixie, or anyone and Nixie. Or just Nixie. I might upset people and I do not really wish for that.
 
Well, after three days of staying in the chest, we finally got word from the “Chain” people. These guys, come from the Conduit faction, somewhere in the north. To be honest with you, their belief seemed a bit weird and complicated so I will not go into much detail (Dillen sneaky snake, if you ever read this, then I just want you to know, that I know what is going on). We made the preparation and finally met them. Well, it seems that Nixie was in charge of the discussion this time. I saw she was struggling so I tried my best to help. But there it was again. The same bomb question: “Where are you coming from? We know most of the places in this universe and we have never heard of anything like you”. Nixie replied with something like: “Somewhere from the Outer Rim”. To which the Chain Guys replied with: “Alright, we understood that part so far, but from which part of the Outer Rim exactly? To which I replied: “From the north”. AH yes, Nixie and me - The Negotiators. Of course, the guys got angry and wanted to leave. But Nixie, was quick to reply and attracted their attention by talking about the black comet that travels in the sky. After a bit more of discussions, they obviously asked if we deliberately told this to someone else. Well, that’s another tricky question. You see, we could not exactly tell them about Alidag, but we couldn’t lie to them either because well we are not very good liars. So, I just went with the simple answer of “yes, we did tell the police”. Which technically, it is the truth. Alidag did not find out all these information from us, he found them out from the police and just confirmed them with us. Now, practically, that is a very big lie, and I admit it. But then again, I think I have done worse things in this life than lie to some strangers. The chain people were happy with the new information they heard. They said that it would take some time for the information to get to the main people, but after that, depending on how we send the message, they might be able to help us. The first time Nixie and me talk with someone and they actually do not try to kill us. That’s a development!
Now, after other few good minutes of discussing in the chest, we decided that we will take the offer from Orshag and we will try to convince them to ally themselves with the Conduit. So we had to wait for another three days until we will meet with Alidag again. I wanted to train with Kelly some more, but on the first day, I somehow fell and sprained my ankle. With nothing left to do, I went to keep company to Lullaby, Eve and Nixie. You would never think how funny that must be! Nixie tried to do a head stand and Eve tried to imitate her but fell, hit a vase and a wardrobe fell on her. I tried to stop it, but thanks to my sprained ankle, I stumbled as well, and the wardrobe fell on my other ankle. Thank the Almighty we didn’t have to fight with anyone. I would have been dead by now.
 
It was finally time to leave the Valva bar. But before we left, the bartender wanted to give us one last drink. So, we set down at the table, and he went somewhere in the back. Then, he made us a sign to look under the counter. There were guns with some of our names on it. I took the one that was meant for me and started to listen to the instructions. Not bad at all. I do not like the concept of guns. If you want to fight, why would you hide under something and shoot with a gun when you can have an actual fight? But as much as I don’t like it, it is the only thing that will keep us alive in Xy. So thank you Alidag!. I wonder if we stayed longer, would we actually have become friends with the bartender? He may have just wanted the money from us, but he seemed like someone we could have around.
We went on the same street we met Alidag the first time. We did not find him, but we found some kind of box, and inside the box there were a lot of things. New identities, watches with money and basically everything we needed for the way. Everything. I was very amused by our new identities! Nixie was an “engine cleanup assistant” and Bart was a baron. As for today, dear diary, my name is Baksa- a chief gunner who came from Suadien. Do I have a clue anything about Suadien? No. Will I get killed if they ask me anything about guns? Probably. But on the bright side, we at least could get scanned now.
Anyways, Kelly lead the way and we soon arrived in a very populated place where there were huge boxes that you could go in space. (Yes, Dillen, I know they are called “rockets”).To be able to explain better I have to tell you about the “space”. Imagine that the space is an Infinite gigantic desert that covers everything. Now, imagine that this dessert is all blue and black. And in this desert, there are some rocks. Each rock are so big that millions of people could live on a stone. You see, apparently the stars we see on our sky are these stones. So, you imagine that trvelling through this infinite desert, going from one stone to another, would take many many many years. But the Xy people have invented these “rockets” that help you travel the same distance in minutes or days.
 
Before we went into those boxes, we had to use some special equipment. Some very heavy metal shoes and a very weird round helmet. The shoes help you stay to the ground, so you don’t start floating in space, and the helmet helps you breath. Anyways, you can imagine what a pleasure it was for me to walk in those metal shoes with my sprained ankles. They are comfortable when you get used to them, but the first time I put them in my feet, I couldn’t even move. So we went into the rocket and prepared to leave.
Kelly was beyond excitement. It seems that she always wanted to go in space. I was happy she was living her dream. I do believe that at this point the crew does not even know what to expect anymore. I for one did not even know what to feel. I was just confused, and a bit curious and amazed. Anevys seemed however to be handling everything pretty well, especially because she had a lot of information to process recently. The start of the space journey is very weird. They count down the numbers and then when they get to 0, it starts to fly at an incredible speed. Most of us seemed to enjoy the ride. Nixie however, was a bit nostalgic. She said that she doesn’t like the space, that we are so small compared to it. It’s like something infinite and it feels empty. Well, I do see her point. After all, it does make you wonder of what power you have to do anything. But it doesn’t make me feel melancholic. On contrary, it makes me feel that I belong to something. Each one of us are a grain of sand and together with the rocks and everything else, it makes the desert.
After we have reached the first stop. We had to enter the moving city I was telling you about. It works on the same principles as the rocket, but it is a lot bigger and you don’t really feel it’s moving. Everyone was excited about something. Marc and Isbel were watching some “movies”, Kelly and me went to train, others were exploring the city. Most of the time there was very peaceful. With a few exceptions of course.
 
The first thing that bothered me was the fact that we found that “the mutations (us) that escaped the lab were caught and sent back so there was no need to worry anymore”. That means that technically no one was following us anymore. But how exactly did that happen? We know that all the information that is going around is controlled by Commonwealth. So did they finally realize that it is better to not make everyone hunt us? And does that mean that they are coming after us? That is one possibility. The other one is that Alidag did that. But how did he manage to get past the Commonwealth then? Or maybe the Conduit decided to give us a hidden hand of help? Or there is someone else that is following us. I did feel a shiver down my spine for a tiny second. I remembered the tracking device that Nixie had. Come to think of it, the rest of us could or could not have those as well. Either way, it is bad. Because either someone is targeting Nixie, in which case, they could have followed us easily, without a tracker, since we only left the bar after 6 days or they still have trackers in all of us, in which case they are still following us.
I don’t know who they are but I am starting to worry. I know there are at least a few Orshag people in this EVO Drive that have the eyes on us but I am certain they are not the only ones. Just how much attention have we already attracted towards us and how many unspoken fights happen behind of our back? Something tells me that we are a hunting prize of sorts for people in this dimension. Let’s just hope that I am overthinking this and that there is indeed no one following us. But based by the instinctive feeling that Nixie had, I highly doubt there is nothing we should worry about.
 
Nixie also seems very stressed and angered. She said it is because she hates waiting and space. I can understand why. It’s been two weeks since we left our dimension, and it seems that we are not going back anytime soon. She kept talking about the continent and when do we think we will be back. So most probably, she hates staying here not doing anything while our home is everyday one step closer to destruction. She misses home. And I’m sure she knows she’s not the only. We all do. This dimension is fun and all, but it’s not home. But for the sake of everything we love, we cannot turn back now. The waiting is dreadful, so we better make it worth it.
But, I think we are all the most concerned for Eve. She doesn’t sleep, she spends all day acting weird, she sometimes talks nonsense and she disappeared for two days. She rested quite a bit but it seems that she cannot rest properly because she is afraid that she might do something stupid while asleep. Nixie tried to make her sleep and succeeded for a tiny while but probably not enough. I really think we might need to hurry with helping Lullaby. Maybe there is a way to send the message to GhiGhi before we get to Prime Zeith. At this point, anything looks better that letting Eve slowly go insane. The day she left, she might have wanted to stay away from us, so she doesn’t hurt us. Probably that is why she keeps her distance. She couldn’t let Lullaby alone, so she took her as well. To be fair, I feel very proud for Eve that she managed to interact with Lullaby. Eve herself looked quite happy with what she managed to achieve. It seems that it is one of the reasons that keeps her going.
 
It didn’t take long to find Eve, but it caused us a small heart panic attack. How could we not notice she disappeared? We asked that to ourselves too. She said she is going to leave, but I did not expect it would be for that long, so I assumed she was back from the first day. Nixie’s got a point there. We were terrible friends for that. I am sorry Eve, I will pay more attention the next time. I will try my best to keep an eye on everyone as Nixie ordered. Thankfully both Eve and Lullaby were unharmed and safe for the rest of the journey. However, Bart and Nixie seemed to have some kind of disagreement. Nixie looked very upset when Bart said that we should leave Eve alone. Well, Nixie wanted to protect Eve while staying near her, while Bart wanted to protect her by staying far away. I mean Bart doesn’t usually talk things to us unless you ask him something, but he is probably worried for Eve.
So I went to talk with Bart for a bit, just to check how he feels. It seems that all these experiments he does are making him a bit confused and excited. But apart from that, he seemed to be doing decent. Bart was however scared that the demon will use him to hurt Eve. Which, let’s not fool anyone, it’s probably true. I can understand the feeling. But I did side with Nixie on this one. No matter what he does, the demon will use him nonetheless. Might as well at least help Eve in one way or another. He also has a point that it also depends on which feelings the demon uses. It is complicated indeed, but I do think that it’s better to face this together than alone. In the end, I do believe Bart understood the point. I was not the first one to tell him that after all. Tallion surprised me one of these days. He went to Bart and told him to go stay with Eve and not leave her alone. He seemed very serious about it: “If you don’t go, I will”. Very well said Tallion. Very well said. Nixie also said it earlier, just in a more angry way but with the same intention.
We are now getting close to Orshag. I have trained in the last couple of days and have tried to learn how to use the gun. Also, I have also named it: “The snake killer”. Fitting name, don’t you think? No, I am joking, dear diary, it is called “Valva”. In the honor of the first place of this universe where we had some good memories. I will keep a careful eye when we get on the ground again. I still want to find out if someone is following us or not. And I might need Dillen’s sneaky snake’s help for that.
 
May the Almighty help us all. We might need it more than we think.
 
P.S. 1: I do secretly hope that Marc and Isbel get together. I do believe it would be good for both of them although being good friends also works. Whatever makes them the happiest.
P.S 2: Is it me or every time that Bart is upset or something he buries himself in studies and stuff? It looks like he did that on the ship as well and he did it now too.
P.S.3: Note to self: Do remember to look around all the time and search for anything that might be suspicious. If someone follows us, at some point they will need to get closer.
