Quest 028

( Attempted Private//Somewhat Hackable )

It's good to be back on my feet again. That illness was miserable. And thank you to everyone who was concerned about me while I was ill; I'm happy to say that I'm feeling much better now.

I'm not afraid of shadows. I'm not afraid of monsters. Isn't it strange, how everyone was so worried about October being a terrible month, but it seems that all the worst things are happening now, in November?

It's important, I think, to remember that even when things seem bleak, we can't lose hope. No matter how painful it may be, no matter how dismal the future may seem, there is always hope. Whether it's fate, the work of gods, or perhaps even just plain luck...things have a way of working out, if you keep after them and stay strong in order to see it through to the end.

Sometimes plans don't work out as expected, and sometimes you're thrown into a situation that you never planned for--but, of course, we all know what that feels like, don't we? Since I doubt any of us planned to be drawn here--but it's important to keep moving on and moving forward. No problem is too big to be solved...and I truly believe that no tragedy is too great for hope to overcome.

[Shadow's Edit]
Pretty words, from a murderess. Don't you think so, City? Oh, but maybe that's all Lolotte was, just another problem to be "worked out". Or how about those witches she rendered helpless and blind? How about the graves she robbed? No, no, you misunderstand, they were all just problems for the pretty little peasant girl to work out. My, won't it be fun to see how she "works out" the problem of her twin brother waiting back home?
