The Prized Journal

At that moment, my heart ached as if it were being squeezed.

It all boiled down to two feelings – anger and confusion.

Part of me was upset at my decision to let them go because I didn't know if it would bring me more troubles later on, but I was also not so keen on hunting them down as I still had attachments to my human side.

And then there was a devious side of me, that kept thinking I should have rounded the mortals and offered them to the tree spirits as a peace offering to salvage our shaky relationship.

Just thinking about it made me chuckle sinisterly and Sylrin who was resting nearby gave me a confused look.

And if I could exploit the spirits and their love of mortals, this could become a peace offering to salvage our shaky relationship

What an ingeniously foul idea! Perhaps my monster side was finally kicking in?

This time there would be no sympathy on my part!
