Trixie’s Journal, a halfling’s growing madness.

 

I no long'r fear for me' fellow 'alflings, for 'ow can I when I can only fear for m'self? Me' mind may not 'ave been the sharpest in Dunshire yet I feel it weaken day by day. I 'ave searched the Dunshire Library for any 'int of answers, alas I found none. In desp'ration I travelled further afield, something I would never norm'lly do.  A zeal grows within me and I yearn for the truth. I was ill-prepared for it.

 

I pass'd through Cloud Temple and its bustlin' markets and followed the road North. I had scarced travelled far, when an odd Big’un 'proached me. His eyes were mad and I 'oped to avoid 'im as any respectable 'alfling would, but me' endeavour was futile. He grabb'd me' arm, roughly frayin' me' jacket, before thrustin' an old tome into me' shaking 'ands. His putrid breath turned me' stomach, but t'was 'is vicious, knowin', smile which terrified me. His mouth moved against me' ear and whisper'd words I 'ad no comprehension of. I broke away, runnin', all the while failin' to avoid 'is tongue as it slithered along me' ear. I fled as if the legions of hell themselves chased me and as far as I was concerned they were.

 

As I returned to Dunshire I found m'self clutchin' the tome. I was skittish as I passed me' fellow 'alflings and I fear that I may begin to tarnish me' reputation as an upstandin' 'alfling. Once I was within the safety of me' burrow, I placed the tome upon the desk within me' study. I refused to open the tome and instead went about enjoying the afternoon. A pleasan' lunch and a nice pipe within me' garden almos' set the world to righ'. Alas, I could neve' find peace, always a silent call dragged me' thoughts to that damned tome. Nevertheless, I stayed strong and retired to bed.

 

Over the next several days I fough' against temptation incarnate. I threw m'self into the Dunshire community in the 'ope that the darkness and me' curiosity would leave me. Yet each pint I drank tasted o' dust. Each pipe I lit left me coughin'. Every bite I ate tasted rotten. The laughter of me' fellow 'alflings tormented me. I could no longer bring m'self to visit the tavern or force m'self to talk with me' friends. Soon me' neighbours began to give me odd looks and I 'eard whispers as I strode pass'd them.

 

I no longer left me' burrow. Surrounded by shadows and nightmarish nights I turned to me' only salvation, the mindless 'aze o' Cactus Green. I was rarely without me' Hoo-kah to me' lips. Its fumes permeated throughout me' burrow and I lived a 'alf life, ne'er truly awake nor truly asleep. It was not to las', soon me' supply o' cactus began to dwindle.

 

As the cactus 'aze lifted, me' dreams quickly deteriorat'd to nightmares. After one particularly unsettling series of dreams I marched into me' study. The moon’s light was 'idden and so I lit a candle, placing me' hands on the damned tome. Dust and old age 'id the tome’s title from me, I turned to the first page and saw me' damnation before me.

 

“Arugula.” The foreign word crawled from me' tongue. Me' finger caressed the beguilin' word on the ancient papyrus. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain, me' finger bled. The shadows grew within me' study and the candle offered little 'elp. Fear grips me' heart and madness claws me' mind.

(( I'm glad you all like it! More to come! I just happened to be browing the Halfling wiki and found Arugula the squidlord. Traps + Squids = Love ))
