Dearly Departed Journal...

Archie leaned forward, resting his chin on crossed arms. He stared out the window of Valkory’s cabin, watching said hero poke a bonfire. Tonight they were having seared stakes. Valkory doesn’t make seared stakes often since it’s a long process but Archie insisted. Now He patiently waited... Oh boy he forgot how long it takes for the hero to cook them. Leaning back, a sigh escaped the illager’s mouth. Rubbing a cheek, he looked back into the cabin. Bored out of his skull, Archie glanced around for something to do. Spotting the bookshelf in the far corner, the small illager decided he could practices reading more.

Hopping down from his chair, Archie padded over to the shelf. He studied the colorful backs of each book, trying to find something that’ll interest him. So far... No luck. Groaning in frustration, Archie was about to return to his chair when he stopped an aged book nestled on the bottom of the shelf, squished between two fat notepads. Blinking, Archie realized he never seen this book before. Curious about the contains, Archie pulled out the book with great effort. Those note pads making it difficult to collect the book.

After a little effort, Archie pulled out the book with a happy murr. Pleased with himself, the illager hopped onto the couch made himself comfortable, and opened the book to a random page.

'Yo Journal, you will not believe what I am about to write in you! Ok so, it's been about 670 days since I woke up in this blocky world. I've impressed myself how long I am alive, like dude I have no memories of how I got here! Anyways, you know I built a nice HQ in these mountains and it's pretty safe here. 

BUT IT'S NOT!! 

*dramatic music plays here*

 Someone has found my base and is stealing my food! Which is totally not cool. I'm missing bread and lamb chops, my favorite foods are getting stolen right under my nose! So Journal, I am setting up a trap to catch this thief! Write ya later! Mister Creeps signing out.'

Right away, Archie knew this was not Valkory’s handwriting. Felix made sure that the hero wrote in a ‘proper’ manner. Also Mister Creeps...? Archie blinked at the name. He swore he heard that name before. With a soft hum, he continued to read.

 "Dude Journal! Guess what I found in my trap? A little kid! Ok bro let me back up. So you know I set up a trap because someone is stealing my food. I thought it was one of those other guys from the bottom of the peaks, they're jerks and would steal. 

But instead, I caught myself a kid! She's like less than half of my size so she's pretty young. I think she's been alone too. At first I thought I caught a little puppy! What with all of those dirty worn out wolf skins she wrapped around herself. Scared too, she screamed bloody murder when I poked my head in the trapped. I can still hear the ringing. Anyways, it took me a good long time before I gained her trust. 

Thankfully those honey apples and cakes I buy at the village helped. It also took me some time before she spoke. Her name is Valkory and she's lost. Welp Journal it's time for another adventure to find this kid's parents. Must have gotten lost in a blizzard. Until I find this Lil Pup’s parents, she’ll be hanging out with me~! Write ya later! Mister Creeps signing out'

Oh... Oh! Now he remembers the name. Valkory talked about this Mister creeps once, and judging from the look on her face, it was painful to talk about him. She said he was a mentor and brother figure to her. So Mister Creeps found Valkory? Swallowing thickly as a foreboding feeling crawled into his mind, Archie continued to read.

‘Dear Journal. We found Valkory’s parents or at least what’s left of them. The kid lead me to a burnt down cabin. I think Valkory didn’t know about happened to the cabin as she looked surprised when we found it. She has yet to stopped crying. Cried right to sleep on my bed.

I think someone set fire to the cabin too. It’s easy for me to forget that this world can be cruel. Valkory will be staying with me until I figure out what to do with her. Mister Creeps signing out.’

Archie snapped the book closed, sudden guilt rising his chest. He felt like he just spied in something private. Returning the book to the shelf, Archie quietly walked back to his chair. He would keep this to himself, he didn’t want Valkory to be mad at him. Still, his thoughts wandered over to this Mister Creeps and he wondered... What happened to him?
