Vantz Herd

After trying to keep the village up for a month, I've finally given up. I had hoped I would discover something while working on the crops and tending to the animals, but that all proved too much for one person.   I also just don't think I can handle it anymore. I've learned how to speak to the animals like my father could, but it's still... I just miss everyone.   I've come to a decision, and it may take time to do it, but I am going to leave.   I've talked it over with Alice and Daniel, as well as all the elk that have worked with me. They will go elsewhere. They've assured me they'll be OK, and have even promised to check on me every now and then. As for Alice and Daniel, they have agreed to let me find them a new farm to work, so long as they are treated well.   I don't know exactly what I'm going to do. Maybe I'll go search for clues around the forest. I'll harvest as much as possible. Preserve what I can, sell the rest, and but what I can't manage on my own yet.   I don't think I will take anything with me. All of it just brings me too many memories, and I just can't handle that right now.

I can't figure out what happened. At first I thought it was meant to be a suprise party or something; after all, how would everyone in the entire village just vanish like this? It would have made sense for it to have been for a party. I went out on my journey to the center of the forest in order to gather the nectar of the Eclipse Orchid, and then I return, a man, and everyone was gone. I kept walking in the houses thinking, surely this will be where the party is, but everywhere was empty.   I'm not even sure why I'm writing all this down. Maybe it's just so I can talk about it. Maybe I'm afraid that whatever happened to them will happen to me, and I just want someone in the future to know about this.   Who knows? Maybe I secretly do want to vanish like them, so that I can finally see them all again.   I've been trying to keep everything running for the last week, but it's honestly too much for one person. Who would've thought that a village worth of work was a little too difficult for one man to handle.   At the moment, I'm placining priority on the livestock. Life is always more important than anything else, plus that was the job I was going to have anyways. I also love my animal friends, and I would do anything to keep them safe.   I have kept the nectar safe until I know exactly what I should do. The normal crop will keep me fed, and I was never taught how to administer it to the crop in order to grow the raspberries properly. That was supposed to be the last part of my trial.   Hopefully I can find something to help with that soon. I don't want our ways to vanish like everyone else.   I miss my father.
