Laura's Diary
Day 1
Elizabeth is making me do this. Write a journal. She can be mean. Not as mean as my skeleton. So last night my skeleton got into some kind of fight. I watched my skeleton kill a bunch of skeletons. Then ronan jabbed my hand with the finger with my magic ring. Mean old fart.I got to eat lots of meat on a stick Ronon bought me. He told me not to tell elizabeth about the box. Then my skeleton pulled out these massive axes and they started to burn. It was totally cool so anyway the skeleton fights these massive goldems golems and beats them all. One got away in a ring out but my skeleton is the best.
Day2
My skeleton is the worst. Lat night it woke me up twice. It measured my mana and woke me when it was full again so i could summon skeletons. Then it make me beat then up and told me to eat gruel. Gruel so I asked it what gruel was and it said it found it in this monster training manual. It had taken some of Todds special food and made this black tar stuff. It tasted horrible so i told the skeleton i was not eating it. It lifted me up and asked if i wanted it to force feed me live rats instead.
Veronica the peomancer neomancer came by the next day and said i was really going to become a great neomancer. The skeleton then asked her about the gruel. She looked at the pot the skeleton had made the gruel in and got sick all over the ground . Elizabeth rushed over and looked in the bowel and also got sick. My skeleton put on his robe picked my up with his one good hand and ran to Ronan.
Ronan asked the skeleton some questions about the gruel and we hid in the boys hot tub room? Well it was that part of the tent. Ronan came back laughing and told the skeleton to let things cool down. He also said i was not to eat any more food the skeleton made. The skeleton then asked a question which cliff would it be easyiest to toss me off. Ronan asked him why he would want to toss me off a wall. The skeleton pulled out that stupid book of fairy tales and pointed to one. It was the one about the hero who trained by being put in very dangerous places. Ronan talked for a long time to the skeleton about why throwing me off a cliff was not a good idea. He also told him not to use the monster training manual for recipies to feed me.
Day 3
Stupid skeleton all last night i had nightmares about the skeleton throwing me off a cliff into a lake of alligators. Elizabeth stopped the skeleton waking me in the middle of the night to practice magic. She told him I needed my beauty sleep and he went off to bother eric. When i woke up he was waiting and dragged me to the bath to practice my magic while he practiced his.My skeleton asked me if i wanted to practice in the boys bath as it might give me a luck upgrade. It did. I got three luck point for just sitting around reading. Eric was looking pale that mornng and gave me a apple. He said i would need it. Todd looked paler my skeleton had kept them up all night. My skeleton then told them not to waste anymore time. He told Todd that if he could not use earth bolt by the next day he was going to be the one training him and Eric. Eric paled some more and he ran off with Todd. I got a new title as well
Crazy blood stained insane person
This scary and insane peron has been reading a book inside the neomancers boys bathroom. On seeing this person use the girls toilet. The boys realized this was a girl. However noone was brave enough to ask her to leave the bath area as she was covered in blood. Crazy aura gained
Todd learned two spells instead of one he finally got the earth bolt and quigmore quagmire A really advanced spell. Ronan looked pleased and told me i was going to get some minions. Five dark paladin squires and a couple of dark priests. He told me if i wanted the skeleton not to train me he could train me instead. The skeleton would train some of my lesser minions. I was thinking about it and then Ronan said my skeleton had been getting rope ready. He had read that if you tiedrocks to someone feet and throwed threw them into the sea helped with there swimming. Stupid skeleton i woke up with nightmares of the skeleton drowning me again.
Letter to Home From Stone
Dear Mother,
As father can not read i am sending you this letter sorry about the spelling. I have begun my training as a dark priest and sorcerer. Ronan has really been helping me along. Up to this point my training has been hard. But recently Ronan had a skeleton train my entire group. I have increased in strength and my magic has really taken off. The skeleton has trained me in the basic silent spell in a day. The training is grueling and heard some of the others sobbing when they fell into there beds. The skeleton does not understand mercy. It never eats or sleeps it merely watches us for flaws. Those it finds weak it tries to help until they are not weak.

It tied a small anchor around one of the female cadets and tossed her into a river. First it grabbed her and with one hand and sat on her. Then it tied the anchor onto her foot just threw her fifteen feet into the lake which was freezing. She had to thread water for half a hour, with a massive crossbow the skeleton had pointed at her. When she was left out of the water shivering the skeleton heated her with a fire spell. Then it spoke threw a trainee neomancer and told us if we tried to eat anything it had not prepared we were next. The trainee had turned red as the skeleton had not let her out of the water until a passing boat of pirates was leaving. Her clothes clung to her body. I am afraid to admit I did not turn my head away. The trainee turned red as the pirates made rude comments. The skeleton then explained if it happened again it would tie the trainee naked on a wheel and beat her until her ass was red.
The food the skeleton prepares is horrible and i can barely keep it down. The best i can say about it is there is lots and we need it. The skeleton has this ring that increases strength and stamina. Which under normal circumstances would be a good thing. The skeleton has us wear it in rotation. First we use the summon skeleton ability the ring gives to increase our magic. We order the skeletons to attack our comrades. Once we are out of mana then the skeleton has its skeletons attack us. At first we were allowed a club then we were given rocks and the skeletons were disarmed. The person with the ring is put threw hell once they run out of mana. The skeleton uses its skeletons to attacks them. Then it attacks itself it only has one hand but its blows are like blows from a hammer. It broke its sword on the first day. Once they are tired it makes them run until they can not put one foot in front of the other. Then it force feed them gruel and moves onto the next victim. We sleep in rotation so one of us has the ring on at all times.
I was tempted to quit until Ronan came by and said how well we were all doing. I realized we were leveling up almost a level every couple of days. All of us have developed the beserker ability. I think some of the others would have liked to have gone on a rampage but were afraid of what the skeleton would have done to them. One of the other priests seemed to grow and ripped a skeleton apart with his bare, he looked ready to do the same to me, until the skeleton gave him a stare that had him sobbing like a little girl. The skeleton left him alone for a whole day. I have developed poison and disease resistance 50 %. i have also developed the fearless toughness and strength abilities.
I realized something as I watched the skeleton. Yesterday it learned to produce a ice hand to replace its slowly healing arm. It used the arm in combat it was a little weaker then its other hand for a while. But then its blows seemed to speed up. They became faster and a eery blue cold flame wrapped that hand. It is getting stronger as are we. The skeleton is learning from us as we learn from it. The skeleton learns slower than a human. But it does not sleep all it does is train. Day and night it never slows down. We reached the end of the period of time where the skeleton has permission to train us.
Ronan came to see us that night with a new batch of trainees. Most of the ones to be trained are older paladins and dark priests. Ronan came to see me and asked if i wanted to keep training. I am afraid i told him where to stick his offer. Ronan laughed and explained things to me. When a human hit the third level evolution level 300 sometimes they could slow the aging process. There were bonuses on level 100 and level 200. But that was nothing next to the bonuses at level 300. that is why at 180 years of life he looks forty. The skeleton training could knock years off my training. Then Ronan pulled out my debt papers and explained the church would knock off ten percent if I stayed the course and there would be a option to go on a quest as well.
A quest Ronan is organizing a quest. Something major the skeleton will on paper be running the show because he has infamy multipliers. If i play my cards right i will be entitled to a share of the Quest. A minor share as a am not very experienced but a very real share. I signed up and the skeleton gave me a months bonus which i am sending in this letter. Use it to buy a few new piglets. There will be nowhere for me to spend it on anyway. Apparently the skeleton does not approve of drinking or gambling. It explained what it would do to any of us if we were not back in camp after the two days off we were given of course it expected me to train during that time. The things it said it would if we were late back had even the hardened pirates looking sick. No one doubted it would do as it said. We are trying to teach it mercy, but i think it is teaching us to be as cold and hard as it is. Which in a priest of a evil god is a good thing.
