Dear diary,
I’m normally too busy to write in a diary or anything like that, but I feel I need to. Everything has been damn awful. I do my best to put on my rougish smile, but this really takes the biscuit.
Let’s recap on how I got here. Here being, well, horrible.
It all started in an incident in that damn bar, the Saucy Mistress. Yes, it caught fire. No, we didn’t do it. Well, I didn’t, I was drunk but not that drunk. But of course, I happened to be with Leo and Regret, and Regret always seems to cause trouble. Even then though, he’s a druid, high on shrooms and very flammable. He’s not the one to start fires. Of course, him being a tiefling and Leo being a wood elf, the three of us get blamed for it. I got roped in too since I am a cat.
Well, I was. I still am. But an encounter between us and Regret’s adopted parents means I can choose to be a cat. And bloody hell, I want to turn back and snooze in a corner somewhere. I’d happily go back to Neverwinter and just pick up a job there. But there doesn’t exist any more.
I take no blame over what happened. Levi and I both warned them that we needed to be very precise with our words. I actually miss Levi. Despite him being much more religious than us, he was actually pretty cool.
First Edward, then Levi, both had weird backgrounds and dragged us into this mess. I mean, we fucking brought captain Ed back to life, only for him to stab Regret and run away. Frankly, looking back, Regret deserved to be stabbed. Stupid bastard.
All we were trying to do was to stop Asmodeus from entering the mortal plane. Why the three of us? We were originally doing it to get revenge on the cult that killed Edward but it turned into a holy crusade that would stop Asmodeus. I was fucking naive. And because of our weird looks, bloody no one would ever believe us. A cat, a wood elf and a tiefling.
And now the mortal plane and everyone in it, including Leo’s and my families, it’s all gone. Stupid Regret still has his parents stuck away in the fey lands.
Really, fuck Regret. He screwed us all over. Because of his wording, we lost everything. Including Leo’s magic ring. And now he has ditched us. So Leo and I are basically alone.
But now we are in space too. And home no longer exists. And Regret, the bastard, is gone. Instead, we are sharing a ship with a bird and a very angry little girl who wanted to buy the ship Regret bought.
I wouldn’t mind, but they both keep on looking at us weirdly. As if we’re dumb. We’re not stupid, just very out of place. Zara has been in this space between planes all her life. Nuada is odder than we are but he at least knows his way around. At least, I think so. We did kinda just pick him up from a random alleyway.
Still, we are so damn lost. Mentally. The space between universes and planes, with a weird soup of, uh, stuff. Of course we don’t know what we’re bloody doing, we just got here. And buying a ship made sense because we didn’t want to get stuck on a rock or in outer space forever.
Physically, we know exactly where we are. Sailing through an empty void, following a treasure map of sorts. And taking a pit stop at one of the worst places possible. I’m pretty sure we are in mindflayer territory. Or, at least, we’re landed on a mindflayer ship. And, amazingly, Zara wants to go inside.
And apparently WE are the deluded fools.
Ugh. I hate all of this. I wish we could just chill out at a tavern or something.
Stupid Regret, ruining everything.
