I reached the edge of Blackroot Forest a few moments ago. I will wait until morning to begin my journey through it, to find the Violet Rose needed for the medicine, that will cure my people of the strange plague that has befallen us.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdFvVbUOGQ
The sickness starts off as an unusual black mark somewhere on your body. It then slowly grows in size until it covers the entire body. The infected will go mad and start attacking anything on sight. Once they have lost their mind, the cure will not work. The sickness is contagious, although we haven’t figured out how it spreads.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmVKcqZH3U
If you are reading this now that means the sickness has taken me, and I am possibly dead. I too am infected, however, I am the only one willing to travel to the forest to get the needed ingredients. Please tell Aeryn that I love her and that I am sorry for what I have done. I can be a better person.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeFFSwzQk3
Here is the recipe for the medicine:
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThPrWQqdPs
- 3 petals from a Violet Rose
- 6 pinches of Angel Rue
- 8 teaspoons of Spring Creeper
- Enough clean spring water to fill a small pan
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zt0y8oJmV
Chop up the rose petals and put them in a cup.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORJ7Mp6wFx
Add the Angel Rue a little at a time. Mix the two up with a bit of the spring water to make a paste.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw844nKBQ4u
Fill a pan with clean river water. Add the paste to the water and bring everything to a boil for five minutes. Remove it from the fire and drain the liquid into a separate container, dispose of any leftover solids.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFG8HpRl1a
Put the liquid back into the pan and add the Spring Creeper. Let it boil for 5 more minutes then remove from the fire and wait for it to cool.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9SVcHl9f6
Drink the god awful medicine, and wait.

Morning is here, and the forest is silent. It is very unnerving, but this is what I must do for my people. The forest is said to be fairly small, but few people have made it out alive. I will continue writing for as long as I can during the trip.

The forest seems very calm and peaceful, but I have heard things scurrying around me. I stopped after a bit when I found a stream; the water was cool; I ate a little and then packed up and kept on my journey. I have not found the roses I am looking for.

I have stopped traveling for the night, and I hope to find the ingredients I need tomorrow. The sickness has completely covered my right leg and foot. I’m not too worried, it seems I still have about a month before the sickness consumes me. I will eat, drink, and rest next to a large tree tonight, and start up again early tomorrow.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACSEz6YbXr
This tree makes me feel uncomfortable, but the area around the tree is open, and a perfect spot to camp for the night.

I have a bit of a fever due to my leg and possibly the sickness. But I was able to get the petals needed, albeit with some scratches from the thorns. I have what I need and that’s all that matters.

“Hey Emil, come look at this poor guy,” the man said as he lay the body down on the ground. (are they carrying the body?) “I’m going to pray for him and bury the body.”

“Jarrod, be careful you don’t know what happened to him,” Emil said as he walked up.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAB9pLp6lJ
“What's this?” Jarrod muttered as he picked up the journal.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeMeN1m3eh
He opened the journal to the first page and tilted his head to the side like a curious pup. "This can't be right, his first entry was written five hundred years ago. There is no way he would look this preserved, especially the journal."

160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJM8RD5IoY
He closed the book and quickly backed away from the body. “Sickness... I remember hearing about a plague that hit a village about the time this journal entry was written but it was cured! Why was he way out here if they had the cure?”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7Z0QeJjH8
Jarrod reopened the journal, “Wait, why would he take this? This wasn’t the cure. I’m not sure what this is for but this wasn’t the cure for the sickness they had.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0SoETzvMc
Emil shrugged, “Who knows? Why not finish reading the journal and find out."
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfKVUYrDcD
"Yeah, I suppose you're right." Jarrod continued reading the journal entries until they began turning to gibberish.
