Von Hollow's rise to power
Green_Mind
A magical book was handed to me today. The one I am currently writing in. Yet, not neccesarily the same. It is of power unknown to me.. Most fascinating! :: I was told by the elf who so kindly gave it to me for free, to write this journal, about anything that crossed my mind. Therefore. I will write my story, and how I came to power, or how I lost it before I had the chance to gain anything at all. :: :: Day one: I will start my journal at this point. Myself and some volunteered workers I found in the city has spent the last two weeks building a manor. And how glorious it turned out to be. It is indeed worthy of my ambitions to gain vast power and fortune. to acomplish this, I plan to establish a town centered around my manor. With time, people will shout my name, hailing me as the mayor of the town I've established. From there on out, I'm sure to gain some level of influence on the world. One way or another. :: On a different note: The last two weeks has been eventfull, but one thing caught my attention. Several attacks by the undead with increasing numbers each time, has left me worried. What do they want? :: I'm sure time will tell... DAY 7: We have established the outer border of what is soon to be a thriving village. I met a writer who lives across the lake, and promptly asked him to come live with us. He said he would think about it for a few days. Hopefully, he'll accept. We need writers capable of filling entire libraries with their black-inked words. DAY:19 A few people have joined the ever-growing village, and much has been built allready. We have set up farms, and it looks like it's going to be a rich harvest. We have yet to name the village. DAY 24: An increasing numbers of wolves have entered our land. This has lead to the unfortunate death of many sheeps. Our hunters have been unable to find the pack. Some say it's not even regular wolves, their tracks are much bigger. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about. Day 49: The high king of Alras has requested a meeting with me. I do not know what he wants to discuss. But I assume it has something to do with the current expansion of Alras. There have been regular sightings of the beast, and it appears it only comes at night. I have yet to see the thing myself. Some of the villagers believe it to be a creature of legends, a so called "Werewolf". I'm not certain I agree with them. They have started forging weapons of silver in various forms. It's madness.
