So our trap worked a little too well. Willow showed up and personally led the assault against me, and she almost killed me in the process.

Luckily I managed to hold her focus long enough for the trap to be sprung, the scattered survivors didn't survive long in my forest. But I'm not much of a fighter, and Willow absolutely is. It wasn't so much a one-sided beat down, I would have died were that the case, but more a slow attrition where Willow burned through my body faster than I could mend it while I could barely touch her. Large swaths of my forest were burned away by her lightning and her bottomless mana pool. Something that is becoming irritatingly common. I would love it if everyone would stop trying to destroy my forest.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

Willow's lightning seemed to have an effect similar to Par's fire, in that it restricts healing and growth. It isn't exactly the same though, her lightning packs a lot more of a punch and the effect is weaker, temporary. If that weren't the case I would have died. Another thing that is becoming irritatingly common.

When Tiddol finally did show up most of my body had been charred away while Willow was a mess of bloody cuts that only went skin deep. And then she started to freak out, ranting about some kind of warning, about some 'goddess', and about how all of this is somehow our fault. Eventually, she just ran away, leaving behind all of the destruction she caused and all of the corpses she made.

I'm sure there is much that I can learn from this fight, but I just want to take a nap right now. I'll think about it more in the morning.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
