Today I spent my free time hanging out with Talus. We didn’t really do anything special beyond what we normally do. Play games, hang out, talk about anything, cuddle a bit, that kind of stuff.

Par and his commanders have finally gotten the looting and pillaging to stop, there were more casualties than we were expecting. Roughly half of the soldiers we sent out died, most of them were killed in an attempt to stop the looting.

There are no living people left in the city, and the only walls that still stand are the outer walls. But there are plenty of goods to bring home, though our population has been significantly reduced we will be very wealthy. And I’m sure a ton of resources will absolutely help us survive against any attack, what with our crippled army being in ideal shape to repel invaders and all.

Ok, I’m more than a little angry. Every single person that dies personally hurts me, as it decreases the amount of mana I get. On top of that if our enemies are anywhere near as spiteful as we apparently are then we could be attacked any day now. If we are attacked by any sizable in the near future we will probably have to surrender, otherwise, we will probably all die. It’s not just me saying this, even some of Par’s military leaders think this.

On the bright side, they might have some new magical plants. Even new mundane plants would be fine, I might be able to use them for something eventually.

Oh yeah, I’ve gotten a lot more practice with my wooden arm. At this point I can change the texture at will, taking less than a thought, though the default woody texture is still the most comfortable. I’ve also got a lot more control over it just in general, pretty much anything I can do with plants I can do with my arm only faster, with more efficiency, and better control. Once I get better control over it I should be able to dissect myself on a much deeper level than I have before, that plus my newfound knowledge on the structure of mana based creatures should lead to me making much better armours for myself, plus a lot better self-healing.

With how much more useful this wooden arm is compared to the regular one I don’t think I want to fix it.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
