Dear diary,
Today is my birthday and I was hoping that the war would have stopped by now… I am
still stuck in this layer. But there are good news !!! Grand Master Jean De Vallette has
poisoned the water and food of the Turks but has also brought some ‘home’. This night we had a big
buffet and Roger (the baby elf) gave me a beautiful marble pendant. I think that was the happiest
day I had since the war started.

Dear diary,
Its been already 2 months since the war started… I’m starting to get a bit homesick…
The only friend that has kept me busy was Roger (the elf)… I really hope the war would end
soon. My neighbour has been really loud these past few days and I didn’t have any good night
sleep but Roger doesn’t seem to mind it… Sometimes it can get really boring in here… I wish I
could get out of this place…
