So it didn't take long for my cell phone to die. Figuring I wasn't going to be able to source a charger anytime soon, I needed to find somewhere else to write down my thoughts. This Leafbook thing looks like it's got a Private Mode so let's see if it works...

Back home, some kids imagine there are fairies at the bottom of their garden. But here they don't have fairies -- they have higgledies. And they're real. Seems not everyone can see them, but it looks like I'm one of the lucky ones who can.

The monsters in this world are like nothing I've seen -- outside of movies, at least. We're talking living skeletons, sentient blobs of goo, you name it. Luckily, most of them aren't too smart, but the wyverns are differnt. They speak, and sometimes take humans hostage...





Log No. 4: To Be a King
Password Protected
Location: Sky Pirates' Base, Bottom of the Base

To become a king in this world, you have to make a pact with a creature known as a Kingmaker. But in order to do that, you first have to pass a test. One which involves fighting. Suffice to say, it's way more dangerous than becoming president -- even if you're not a kid!

Evan's still just a kid, but he's already been through a lot. He kind of reminds me of my son. He had to go through a lot too...What I wouldn't give to see him again...But I think that world is gone. The only question is why I survived...and what I'm doing here.

If you're going to build a kingdom, location is everything. I convinced the pirate lady who runs the store to give me a map, and I think I might've found the perfect spot. Evan liked the idea and Lofty had no objections either. Now the only problem is the bandits...

Location: Fortune Square, Goldpaw Town

In Goldpaw, they have a ceremony in the main square where they decide the taxes for the coming month by rolling a giant die. There are many ways to run a country, but letting fate decide's a new one on me. It's not what you'd call responsible policy making...

So it looks like I'm going to play prosecutor in the trial of Pugnacius. I'm used to arguing my case, so I guess I'm the man for the job, and it didn't seem fair leaving it to Evan. I just wish I didn't look so darned young!





Log No. 9: Evermore

Well, it's been quite the ride for young Evan. He's gone from being exiled in a coup to founding his own kingdom, all in the space of a few months. To say I've enjoyed it would be an understatement -- and Evermore's story is just beginning. Long live the king!

I dreamed of my son last night. We were in the ward. I spoke to him, but there was no response. No way to reach him. But I have to leave the past behind. I've got a life here, and people who rely on me. No time to wallow. Still, you can't choose what you dream about.

I can't afford to waste time listing up all my regrets. This journal was meant to help me stay focused. Right now, my fighting skills are my top priority. I've got some spells under my belt, and my sword skills aren't so bad. As for shooting, what can I say? I'm a natural.

You don't normally have to fight bandits and dragons to get a library card. It makes me wonder what Boddly's really up to. I get the feeling she's trying to teach us things that are going to come in handy for the future. I'd ask, but she's not exactly one for straight answers.





Log No. 13: We Need a Boat

Location: Capstan-upon-Hull, Outside town/World Map

I thought with all the magic in this world, you wouldn't need old-fashioned things like boats to get around, but it seems I was wrong. And here I was waiting for my broomstick to arrive...I can't deny I'm a little disappointed, but I guess I'll perk up when we finally set sail.





Log No. 14: Privacy? Forget it...
Password Protected
Location: Emporion Market, Hydropolis

Hydropolis is what we would call a police state. The Queen has her people under 24/7 surveillance and pretty much everything is banned -- even love. If I didn't know better, I'd say she had issues. We had some strange laws back home, but nothing came close to this.





Log No. 15: Hats Off to Lofty
Password Protected
Location: Palace of Hydropolis

Hoping to meet with Leander, Evan and Tani acted out a proposal scene with Lofty directing. I have to say, the guy has some pretty smart ideas on occasion. But then he can't be that stupid -- Evan had to take the Trial of Knowledge before he'd work with him.

Tani and Batu are always up at the crack of dawn, making a racket. It sure beats an alarm clock. They make a point of going around town and talking to people every day. Some were a little wary of sky pirates at first, but they soon warmed up to them. I'm impressed.





Log No. 17: Broadleaf

It was quite the surprise to find a place with technology that wasn't so far from what we have at home. Not that it's exactly the same, of course. Entering Broadleaf was like going from a fantasy epic to a sci-fi movie, with the protests lending things an aptly dystopian feel.





Log No. 18: Robots Everywhere

Location: Dynafloor No. 1, Broadleaf

When I was a kid, I remember pestering my mom to buy me this robot I'd seen in a toy store. When I finally got it, it was the happiest day of my life. Now we're going around Broadleaf battling robots that look a whole lot like it. Funny how life turns out...





Log No. 19: Lofty's All Grown Up
Password Protected
Location: Cradle of Wisdom, Broadleaf

Lofty's transformation was something else. When Evan first told me we were going to meet a kingsmaker, that's exactly the kind of fantastical beast I imagined. But if that's the real Lofty, does that mean every kingmaker has a mini version? I can't quite picture it...





Log No. 20: Doloran

Location: Reactor Floor, Factory Floors, Broadleaf

So who exactly is this Doloran? All we know right now is that he wears a snake mask and goes around stealing kingsbonds. He's got three so far, and you have to wonder when he's going to come for Evan's. I just hope I don't get another headache when he does...





Log No. 21: The Plot Thickens

I spoke to Leander about the Mark of Kings and he came up with one heck of an idea-- we could use it to negotiate with Mausinger. Trust him to think outside the box. Anyway, we hatched a daring plan. Now let's see if we have the acting chops to pull it off...





Log No. 22: Whose Idea was That!?
Password Protected
Location: Cat's Cradle, Ding Dong Dell

Leander and Bracken teamed up to make the gear I took on my mission to Ding Dong Dell, using some ideas I got from old spy flicks. But I definitely don't recall mentioning pills that turn you into a frog. I was convinced I'd be stuck that way forever!





Log No. 23: A Trip to the Crypt
Password Protected
Location: Crypt of the Cat Kings, World Map

It seems there's a crypt in Ding Dong Dell where all of Evan's ancestors are buried. I guess if things had worked out differently, it's where he would have ended up one day. Should be an interesting trip -- I hear there are royal quotes carved on all the headstones.





Log No. 24: A Royal Pardon
Password Protected
Location: Throne Room, Ding Dong Dell Castle

Ordinarily, anyone who orchestrated a coup, killed the King, and banished his son and heir wouldn't warrant forgiveness, but it seems Evan and his late father see things differently. That kid really is one in a million. The people of Evermore are lucky to have him.





Log No. 25: What's Going On?
Password Protected
Location: Evan's Bedroom, Ding Dong Dell Castle

So here are the facts: I don't look a day over twenty, there's not a scratch on me from the attack...and there's a kid here with cat ears and a tail. Real ones. So what does it all mean? I guess I'm either in a hospital ward somewhere, dreaming all this...or I'm dead.





Log No. 26: Trouble Afoot
Password Protected
Location: Library, Goldpaw

Doloran finally surfaced, and he's wreaking havoc on the world. He's reawakened a creature known as the Horned One and is stealing people's souls en masse, turning them into empty husks. I'd say it felt like a movie, but no-- no, this feels all too real.





Log No. 27: Untitled

I couldn't protect him. My own son...I don't know what I just say -- if it was real or just an illusion, some dark dream caused by the evil flooding the world. But what can I do? I have no way of knowing what became of him. All I have are my memories...and my pain.





Log No. 28: Keeping Hope Alive

If we don't do something about the Horned One, this world could end up in an even worse state than mine. I couldn't do anything to prevent what happened back home, but at least I can stop it from happening again. With Evan at my side, nothing is impossible.





Log No. 29: A Faint Memory
Password Protected
Location: Belly of the Beast, World Map, Nazcaa

I remember looking up and seeing the missile...and I have this nagging sense that I heard someone speak to me. But who was it? Hard as I try, I just can't figure it out. Maybe it'll come to me. Or maybe I'll never know.





Log No. 30: Untitled

I think Evan's going to be just fine without me. Watching him face down Doloran, I knew I didn't need to worry anymore. When we first met, he reminded me of my son, and that made me want to protect him. But a lot's changed since then. Now he can stand alone.
