X Month, Day Y
A strange thing has happened at the castle.
I had woken up fairly early, since the fire had blown out sometime during the night and it had grown cold. So I was waiting in my room for Cecile or Sebastian to come in and talk to me as usual. But no one did...and I didn't hear the usual sounds of people working outside. No hum from the marketplace, or anything.
As I was getting dressed, a cloaked woman appeared in my room and handed me this journal. I went to tell her I already had one, but she disappeared before I could say anything. It was unnerving enough that I had been in the middle of putting my shirt on...
I walked down the stairs to find out what was going on. None of the people that usually greet me were there, and the castle seems to be mostly deserted. But even though it seemed as though most of the people that are usually here have gone, and the shops are quite bare, the castle and it's grounds aren't entirely empty. A lot of the people I had met during the war are here, strangely enough, as well as some new people. I'm always happy to make new friends, though.
But I am concerned to find out that my good friends are nowhere to be found. Even the dogs that Cecile had enlisted to help her guard the castle are gone, not to mention Cecile herself. And it's odd not having the usual report from Sebastian, or to not hear Martha and Piccolo bickering like an old married couple...
It almost seems that the ideal we had all been striving for has been forgotten. But I won't give up! Everything will work out for the best I hope...
