"Dear Diary" Time: -11 years Deer diery, We wer in the Skarlt Mun Impir for a whil but daddy sed that it wus tim to go bak hom. I dont want to leeve bekaws Anty Windy culdnt com with us. She sed I had to go hom with mummy and daddy bekaws I am ther dorter, but she promised to com and visit. I wil mis her reely a lot. My birfday wil be wile we ar travling. I wil be six yers old! Mummy gav me a present erly, and Anty Windy gav me one to bekaws she wont se me on my birfday. Mummy gav me a pritty ston that had markings on it. Then somone caled a run master and he mad the pritty ston disapper. I wus very confused but then mummy showd me the litl mark on my hand that lokd lik the mark on the ston. The run master sed that a run wus in my hand now. Im not sur wat he ment but it luks very pritty. Anty Windy gav me a funy luking stik with a blak rok at the end. She didnt tel me wat it wus for but she sed to kep it with me. She is very nis so I wil try to do that. It is tim to go now so I hav to put away my book and go. May be I wil be abl to rite mor in the carag. By by for now, The carriage bounced along the road, one of the many carriages and wagons, flanked by knights on horseback. The company was most of the way through Jowston territory, but still at least a day's ride from the border. Inside the carriage, Jillia sat on the cushioned seat across from her mother, Queen Sara. The constant lurching motions of the carriage were starting to make Jillia feel very ill to her stomach. She wished she could be back in Gregminster, or home, or any place that moved less than this. She wished that daddy had agreed to let her bring Miss Lissy, her fat little pony, along so she could ride instead. So caught up she was in feeling carriage-sick that she didn't immediately hear when the commotion began outside. But she did hear the first yells of pain. She most defiantly noticed when the carriage suddenly started to speed down the road as fast as the horse could run. Jillia started to reach for the curtain, to see what was going on, but Sara stopped her. "Jilly," she explained in a quiet voice, "Sit as far back into the dark corner there. Be silent and try not to move." Jillia gulped and obeyed her mother. Less than a minute later there were sounds of a horse galloping alongside the carriage and the door was flung open. Jillia was momentarily blinded by the sunlight streaming in but her eyes quickly adjusted. The man who rode alongside the carriage was a rough looking one. His brown hair and beard hadn't been trimmed in a while and he wore an old Jowston surcoat. In a very loud voice he proclaimed, "For Jowston!!" He then raised his hand and said, "The Shredding." A hundred invisible knives seemed to slice through Sara at once. Her face was frozen in an expression of shock and pain as blood began to spill from the wounds. "MOMMY!!!" Jillia screamed. The man looked at her, just noticing her presence. His lips curled into a cruel smile and he raised his hand again. Jillia saw his lips moving but did not hear the words. Time slowed to a crawl. The rod which was sitting o the seat right next to Jillia exploded with inky black tendrils of energy. The energy lunged out in all directions; towards the man, towards Sara's body, towards Jillia. A bright circle of light surrounded Jillia, cutting off the black tendrils from her. The assassin, Sara's remains, and the carriage were not nearly so fortunate. The tendrils went through the assassin's body like worms. His screams of horror proved he remained quite aware for long minutes before he finally died. The effect on the carriage varied from place to place. Some parts completely disintegrated, others were damaged till they became completely useless. Some parts, although it couldn't be confirmed, seemed to completely change in composition. Sara's body, in the end, was mutilated beyond recognition. When the energy finally dissipated, the small orb of energy vanished as well, and Jillia fell limply to the ground, pale as death. Deer diery, The dokters sed I wus asleep for sevrel days sinse I wus brot to Kyaro Town. Wen I wok up they didnt let me even get up. They askd me questons abut wut hapend.
