Someone's Diary: Vol. 3 · Guili Plains

A journal someone left in the wild, describing their misfortune in Guili Plains.

—Guili Plains—

What rotten luck!

I finally escaped the hilichurl camp, only to be hunted by a Ruin Guard in Guili Plains! I saw the pouring rain lashing its body without the least reaction, and thought it long since unable to move. Who knew that a moment later a bolt of lightning struck its head square, and it started clanking into motion—it was alive!

I had no power to fight back. Like a little chick it grabbed me and flung me from the cliff top… Luckily I tumbled and scrambled and ducked into a stone hollow at the foot of the cliff in time, out of its sight, or I'd have been torn to pieces without mercy, stomped into… I don't even know what.

It must have gone far by now… but my ears still buzz, as if tens of thousands of bees were flying inside. Maybe two bones are broken; my arms won't take any strength. But I can still hold on… I think. At this age, if I don't make one real effort, how am I to face Dongdong and the child's mother?
