Mr Metal Man

by Freya Fiore

Dear Diary,
It's been rough. We buried Illy in the playground. She never wanted me to have that cursed spear, so I thought I'd finally listen to her. I crushed it, destroyed it with magic, and it slithered away in a goopy puddle. It's a bit late now, but it's the best I can do. I've taken her lightning scimitar, too. I can only guess that's what she would want - certainly better than me going around with no weapon at all.
 
We also dealt with Malakos' body, and it seems he was secretly doing... something...? He had a note on him that led to a tracking device hidden beneath the frozen fountain, and after all he and Illy have done for us it only seems fair we follow through on what we can. We followed the tracker to a tunnel underneath where the dragon crashed, and used the key it pointed us towards on a door to some sort of... lab? Whatever it was, it was weird. There was a metal man hung on the wall, and we had to fight a few others that attacked us. Levi showed up - for whatever godsforsaken reason - but it wasn't long before he got himself knocked out. Turns out he's not much use without daddy gobble bath backing him up. Arsehole.
 
Anyway, once everything had calmed down a little, we figured out that the metal people somehow harness lightning to move about, so I charged up the one hanging on the wall and it sprang to life! Though we didn't have much time for a chat before a visitor from the hells popped up to steal Baglin away - some gladiator type with all the patience of a puppy in a boneyard. Couldn't even wait for us to wonder what this place was or what it had to do with Malakos. Well, we beat him and learned that Mr. Metal has a name - Lazarus. Though any more information about who he is or what he was doing dangling from the ceiling in a secret underground chamber remains a mystery. He does seem to like Levi's shoes though, and anyone who's interested in stealing from that prick is a friend of mine.
 
Bye.
