Dem ((Demlemoth)) is gone. Miss Arrygg told us that he had been gone, having some sort of letter to prove it. I had felt bad because I was so angry at someone that we had spoken to the last time we met and... Well, he tried to calm me despite of how I was acting. In order to find Dem, Miss Arrygg helped by giving me a cloak of his but it also had Jaesper's blood. Jaesper... I wonder where he had gone to as well. Does he even know about Dem's note and disappearance? Despite of the tension between us and how he possibly thinks of me, I hope that he's okay.
With that being said, I go out from Bree along with Sriva and an old friend of Dad's, Oak. Once we had left from the South Gate and away from the town guard's eyes, I called upon my wolf, Ghost, so he could sniff out Dem's scent from the cloak. As I was about to, a man from the South, possibly a Haradrim as well, had seen us. We could tell that he was cautious of us and so, we had to ensure that we had meant peace. Oak asked him if the man had seen someone that looked like him but the man did not. I had Ghost to smell the cloak and, after bidding farewell to the man, we followed Ghost.
We went through the Chetwood and passed the homesteads... Homesteads... I know for sure that I'll be getting at least one lecture from Dad once I come back due to not telling him that I was going or even where I was going. I have companions with me so he wouldn't scold me for that at least.
Anyways, we arrive here at the Forsaken Inn. Yes, the same inn that is said to be haunted. It looked...rather old and worn, quite unlike the Pony, but we needed somewhere safe to stay for the night. We had taken our horses to the stables before walking in. I wasn't wrong when it looked worn. Hell, there was a huge freaking hole in the ceiling. Anyways, I paid for the food, drinks, and rooms for the night. As we ate, we exchanged words of where our road would eventually take us. If any further from the Lone Lands, we would end up in the Trollshaws. We would be lucky there if we could find shelter since the wilds are dangerous. Good thing Oak assured us that he would be able to talk to the elves about it. However, if the travels take us further, we would probably end up being either in the Misty Mountains or... Eregion then to Moria. Oak told us about what fell things could reside there. Besides the usual orcs and whatnot, there are fell things like the things called "nameless evil" in the dark depths. I really hope that we won't need to go there.
With the talk of travels ending, Sriva had gone to sleep. After that, I told Oak of my fears of traveling to find someone due to what had happened when I had gone out to find Pellam with Sriva and Siofran, meeting up with Uncle Maltok of course. I am nothing like Saqr, who is strong and seem to be fearless. He deserves to be called the eldest son. I thought of lessening the tension by asking him about Ithilien and how he knew Shamear, a commander under Dad. After the conversation, I had decided to get some sleep myself.
Unfortunately, I am unable to get some sleep. With the worry of Dem and the infamous reputation of the Forsaken Inn being haunted having to uphold the title, I decided to write a bit of a journal instead. I hope we could find Dem soon.
