It was late in the day when one of them finally opened my cell door. At that moment I rushed towards him and embraced him, before digging my nails into his back and letting the fungus spores into his bloodstream. There is no way he could have expected me to attack, much less embrace him, after all up until that point all I had done was occasionally scream out in pain when they beat me.

With the spores in place, I started growing them, twisting them around inside his body and destroying all of his internal organs. I may have wasted a bit of Solar Energy keeping him alive for a bit longer than he would have otherwise been.

It was precious moments before the other two realized what was going on. Precious moments that I capitalized on. I spread tumors all around the next one’s body, and then I healed him. It was a simple spell really, all I did was dramatically increase the speed at which his body heals itself.

I relaxed a little more than I probably should have for the last one. I decided to practice flesh manipulation on him, I didn’t do very well.

It was easy, too easy. Then I realized something. They didn’t have access to mana either. The mana that maintains and strengthens their bodies was slowly stripped away as they were stuck in here with me. Years, possibly even decades of training washed away by a couple days without any access to mana. I should remember that.

After I finished with my captors I realized two things. The first is that I had no more Solar Energy left. The second is that the door opens from the outside only. Explains why they didn’t run away. After working at the door frame for an hour with the fungus I finally managed to open up a small crack in it. That crack let mana in and dramatically increased my speed, I was out in seconds.

The first thing I saw when I exited the building was hundreds of undead beating on some kind of invisible barrier a little ways away from the door. Azrezel was flying over them casting spells at the barrier. When he saw me he flew right into the barrier, only to bounce off and fall to the ground. I immediately rushed to him. I don’t know why he is back from his trip so early, and I don’t really care right now. I’m just glad that I’m out. I’m glad that I can feel close to my forest again. I’m glad that I can not feel like I’m starving.

For now, I just want to sleep.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
