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.

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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAQ5k6Yn8H
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFbWvvvl5a
Here is the recipe for the medicine:
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrGk9k2kqU
- 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
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU3E6ganKV
Chop up the rose petals and put them in a cup.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBvCri1fVM
Add the Angel Rue a little at a time. Mix the two up with a bit of the spring water to make a paste.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXW42mKdTd
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7dDPkQkR8
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV433KZjUsY
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXBrFEDUUd
This tree makes me feel uncomfortable, but the area around the tree is open, and a perfect spot to camp for the night.

“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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMhpcGNupG
“What's this?” Jarrod muttered as he picked up the journal.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUoCtJfbOd
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."

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOXfCV2IuD
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?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbPgJ50NgJ
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hRfEuempQ
Emil shrugged, “Who knows? Why not finish reading the journal and find out."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViFnpCh3VN
"Yeah, I suppose you're right." Jarrod continued reading the journal entries until they began turning to gibberish.
