I reached the edge of Blackroot Forest a few moments ago. I will wait until morning to begin my journey through it, to find the Violet Rose needed for the medicine, that will cure my people of the strange plague that has befallen us.

The sickness starts off as an unusual black mark somewhere on your body. It then slowly grows in size until it covers the entire body. The infected will go mad and start attacking anything on sight. Once they have lost their mind, the cure will not work. The sickness is contagious, although we haven’t figured out how it spreads.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoHEOtNVuG
If you are reading this now that means the sickness has taken me, and I am possibly dead. I too am infected, however, I am the only one willing to travel to the forest to get the needed ingredients. Please tell Aeryn that I love her and that I am sorry for what I have done. I can be a better person.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmeamQyWmT
Here is the recipe for the medicine:
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDpNv0OEla
- 3 petals from a Violet Rose
- 6 pinches of Angel Rue
- 8 teaspoons of Spring Creeper
- Enough clean spring water to fill a small pan
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLC89AG8DG
Chop up the rose petals and put them in a cup.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0R41Q5RZV
Add the Angel Rue a little at a time. Mix the two up with a bit of the spring water to make a paste.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2jSXn87Jd
Fill a pan with clean river water. Add the paste to the water and bring everything to a boil for five minutes. Remove it from the fire and drain the liquid into a separate container, dispose of any leftover solids.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHxuwfqcuF
Put the liquid back into the pan and add the Spring Creeper. Let it boil for 5 more minutes then remove from the fire and wait for it to cool.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCcSQWhTos
Drink the god awful medicine, and wait.

Morning is here, and the forest is silent. It is very unnerving, but this is what I must do for my people. The forest is said to be fairly small, but few people have made it out alive. I will continue writing for as long as I can during the trip.

The forest seems very calm and peaceful, but I have heard things scurrying around me. I stopped after a bit when I found a stream; the water was cool; I ate a little and then packed up and kept on my journey. I have not found the roses I am looking for.

I have stopped traveling for the night, and I hope to find the ingredients I need tomorrow. The sickness has completely covered my right leg and foot. I’m not too worried, it seems I still have about a month before the sickness consumes me. I will eat, drink, and rest next to a large tree tonight, and start up again early tomorrow.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84OAw8ZVY7
This tree makes me feel uncomfortable, but the area around the tree is open, and a perfect spot to camp for the night.

“Jarrod, be careful you don’t know what happened to him,” Emil said as he walked up.

“What's this?” Jarrod muttered as he picked up the journal.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHBYn0QMcw
He opened the journal to the first page and tilted his head to the side like a curious pup. "This can't be right, his first entry was written five hundred years ago. There is no way he would look this preserved, especially the journal."

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNIOoo0OpU
He closed the book and quickly backed away from the body. “Sickness... I remember hearing about a plague that hit a village about the time this journal entry was written but it was cured! Why was he way out here if they had the cure?”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYQb8AXSyD
Jarrod reopened the journal, “Wait, why would he take this? This wasn’t the cure. I’m not sure what this is for but this wasn’t the cure for the sickness they had.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLbdIrO1vF
Emil shrugged, “Who knows? Why not finish reading the journal and find out."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vjK44ibWt
"Yeah, I suppose you're right." Jarrod continued reading the journal entries until they began turning to gibberish.
