Day Forty

Even the night must fail
for light sleeps in the eyes
and dark becomes dark on dark
until the darkness dies.
Soon the eye resolves
complexities of night
into stillness where
the heart falls into fabled light.

Day Forty-One

[The page is filled with manic, angry scribbles.]

Day Forty-Two

[The page is filled with manic, angry scribbles.]

Day Forty-Three

[The page is filled with manic, angry scribbles.]

Day Forty-Four to Fifty

I wonder what the other me is doing?
I wonder how the other me is doing?
I wouldn't mind trading places.
STRONGER. FASTER. STURDIER.
I DREAM OF OOZES.
Cloak of the Black Rose. Mine. Getting closer.
Nobgoblins. Hairgoblins. Deathgoblins. EVERYONE'S A GOBLIN.
One, two, three, four. Four artifacts.
Sithican Kender?!
Need a staff.
Chicken: Lonely. Sad. Use you lose.
Wiggles: Happy? Something isn't right.
Fireballs: His! Mine!
Sparkleteats: Owning the night, early morning, and mid-afternoon almost!
Doctorslashmagus: Missing quality time! How embarrassing. Two? to go.
Sir Singsalot: Still sings a lot.
Sir Speaksalot: Sometimes I see something else.

Day Fifty to Fifty-Seven

All the other were-things?
These were good days.
Five. Five artifacts.
I gave him a scratching post, he gave me the stars.
Now I can't seem to stop.
WHAT WOULD THE BLUE LADY DO? Let's put her clothes on and find out.
Fireballs: Flap, flap! I like these ones more than the last ones.
Doctorslashmagus: Quality time! I think it's getting worse.
Almost all the people: I have no words. Need a book of words.

Day Fifty-Eight

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE? I NEEDED YOU.
Why would he care? He hardly knew you.
He didn't want to. I should have stopped him.
What do you actually ever do?
He should not be forgotten. He should be great.
And you should be grateful. He's shown you the future.

Six artifacts.
MY HOME.
My. Home.
I spy? I don't spy.
BUT WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?
Just me and the stars.
I wear your death, Malystryx.

Day Fifty-Nine

Made a few people angry.
Imps, imps, imps.

Day Sixty

Today, I took one step closer.
Today, we bonded.
Today, I enjoyed the wind.
Today, I took control.
Today, I made a decision.
And today, I remembered.

No, Doctorslashmagus.
You're not getting away with this so easy.

Day Sixty-One

Not getting any easier.
Sad wine, happy heart.
Faster, faster, faster.
Sir Speaksalot: Speechless?

They and their kinfolk laughed at me,
Turning my face from mockery,
Facing my destiny, unsure,
Heedless of toil and sheep manure,
Scaling the slopes alone, unkissed,
Facing the mountains and the mist,
I climbed the ramparts, not to tire,
Till I discovered dragonfire.

Day Sixty-Two

RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
Doctorslashmagus: The leaves of your life tree may have turned brown, but I'll hunt you down to turn them green again.

Day Sixty-Three

Mortal Paladine?
Four out of four. It's all becoming clear.
What have you done?
Said a thing I shouldn't have said.
To fight or not to fight?
Missing Sparkleteats. Where are you?
Him: I still don't like it. I don't think I want to like it.
Scarface: What a jerk.

[The page is filled with manic, angry scribbles.]

Day Sixty-Five

[The page is filled with manic, angry scribbles.]

Day Sixty-Six

[The page is filled with manic, angry scribbles.]

Day Sixty-Seven to Eighty-Two

STOP FOLLOWING ME, TREE.

Day Sixty-Eight to Sixty-Nine

I think I know what it is.
But I can never tell.
Complications and none of them are mine.
I can hardly breathe.
Ready, reset, go.

What would you do? If you were me.
I am you.
I'm sorry.
Seize, Locklyn.
There's nothing to grab. Or hold. It's all an illusion.
Don't forget. One for two. I'm proud of you.
Thank you.
Not so fast. I'm also furious with you. Now, go fix it.

Somewhere, I stopped counting.
But things still happened.
FASTER. STRONGER.
Gather, gather.
ALL HAIL THE CAPTAIN OF THE WORLD.
Seven. Seven artifacts.
But they won't bring about the apocalypse.
Defying impossibilities.
Dragonlance?
So long, Nobgobletta.
Farewell again, Scarf-face.
Goodbye, Chicken.
Sorry I never gave you a nickname, Artorias.
THE RETURN OF DOCTORSLASHMAGUS.
Thanks, Wiggles. Also, sorry.
What have I done?
Never alone. Always alone.
At the crossroads.
Why does it feel so strange?
Bubbly wine = good. Awkward dinner = bad.
But I still liked it.
WHY DIDN'T ANY OF YOU ANSWER ME?!

My room at the Blue Water Inn grows cold as I write this entry...

Not really. Never leaving!
Leaving after this.
Splish, splash.
Reassembly required.
Lockless? It's one of my names.
And one is enough.
Aurora: I see it. I'm sorry. Thank you.
Fireballs: Survey says.
Sir Speaksalot: I still see something else. I'll never tell.
Doctorslashmagus: Hoped I was right. Hoped I was wrong. Still silver!

I missed it here, alone except for her. Once I dreamed I'd be just like her. Only I'd make the better choice. I'd wear copper instead of blue. But I'm nothing like her. I'm not brave, I'm fearless. Fearless, but my will is stronger. Speaking never saying. Thinking never doing. Always resisting. But if I stop, where will it stop?

Damn this rain.

My feet feel ready to move on. Wanderlust, or the urge to run before it all comes crashing down. New places, new people. No bonds, no attachments. Feeling makes helping complicated. But I love them.

Kiri-Jolith, lend her the courage to realize her own strength.
Paladine, lend her the light to remind her of the one inside.
Mishakal, lend him the compassion he needs to forgive himself.

Had a visitor. I'll call him The Wanderer.
That was nice.

Bad girl. Never stop resisting.
Feeling makes helping complicated.
Fizban's fireballs. I think I broke him.

The days henceforth known as The Terrible Ones.
Strength in a moment of weakness.
But what does it matter?
Not strong enough.
Not smart enough.
Not fast enough.
Not loud enough.
Not bright enough.
Not human enough.
NOT ENOUGH.
At the crossroads again.
Please, just make it stop.
DAMN YOU FATHERSLASHMAGUS.
DYING IS NOT OKAY FOR YOU.
E-i-o-l-a-s G-a-l-i-a-d-i-n
A surprising twist.
But not the one you're thinking.
So much for sale.
Not buying any of it.
All the things I shouldn't say.

Even the night must fail, for light sleeps in the eyes, and dark becomes dark on dark, until the darkness dies. Soon the eye resolves complexities of night, into stillness where the heart falls into fabled light. And larks rise up like angels, like angels larks ascend. From sunlit grass as bright as gems, to where all darkness ends.

Lock, Locky, Lockly, Lockless, Locklass, Locklyn Rhodes, Locktricker Roadswalker...
...what does it matter? It's all the same.

A pest.
A joke.
A debt.
An extra.
An option.
An illusion.
An accident.

Feeling makes helping complicated.
I don't want it. I want it all gone.

Stronger. Faster.
All things lost.
Onward.
See you soon, Fatherslashmagus.
TRAP!
It's all a trap.
The Disappointing Days.
Happy trails, Eberath.
Thank you for being polite.
The bag completes the ritual.

Once upon a time,
Sir Speaksalot slept a lot.
And once he did wake,
he turned to the light and said,
"This and that."

By formal, do you mean pajamas?
I see what you did there, Tipper.
But I will do the thing.
And the other thing.
And that other thing, too.
Because why not.
Itchy fingers.
Sorry, Plumes.

"Bye, Lady Fade!"
Your legend lives on.
Awkward fancy party is awkward.
Dashing date, though.
Stupid potato.
"To my laboratory!"
Poor Baby Chicken.
"Why are you here?!"
Who? I think I'll never know.

Silly, silly elf,
They tell me you're trapped.
Sad until I remembered...
...how you like to watch.
And how if I were sad, you (it) would kill me.
And then I would be dead...
...and then you would be sad.
So, I'll clean it all up again.
And I'll find you a better box.
And I'll remember you fondly (almost) all the time.
I like to think I got my stubborn from you.
Amin mela lle, Eiolas Galiadin.
Doctorslashmagus, loving father, hero.

Need Throat Lotion.
I wasn't strong enough.
Sorry and goodbye, Arthmael.
Dear life, please stop repeating.
Trying on shoes.
Even if they don't fit.
Seeing through eyes.
Even if the colour's wrong.
The Saga of Sir Speaksalot continues...

Cursed shoulder.
Found a better box.
Sad wine is sad.
A new cause?
KATANA!
Found an even better box.
Things lost, things found.
Want to want.
But the cost is high.
"Always worrying others, lose self."
Wise words, Greencheeks.
So, what would Locklyn do?
Redecorate.
