Memory File 0025
Time: 8:46 P.M.
I thought it would be wise to make a recording tonight.
Considering that Kate and Animal are leaving this evening with
Monster for Ferus Mundus, I can think of no better opportunity to
learn more about Primerans. They are certainly amazing creatures, and
despite how much I despise Jacob and Elizabeth Cain, I can honestly
see why they modeled the Grim virus after them. From what Kate has
told me, another Primeran needs help from Monster and is sending
someone to Earth to hold open a passage of some sort for him to
travel through. That someone happens to be another Primeran who will
have to remain here on Earth until they are ready to return.
Admittedly, I do understand why Animal wants to go to his home world,
but for Kate to go with him is something I tried to advise against.
Kate is probably the most stubborn human being I have ever met, but
it's clear that she has to be on this issue. When trying to convince
her to stay, she revealed that she had just as much reason to go
along with Monster as Animal did. Since she has been home, Kate has
had to remain on the sidelines for every conflict that has come her
way, which meant leaving Animal, Wraith, and even myself to handle
each threat. She was tired of it, and she wants to find a way to
fight along side of us. I suppose she hopes to find some answers when
there, anything that will help her to, as she puts it, stand on her
own feet.
If trying to get Kate to stay was hard, even suggesting
the idea to Animal was impossible. I had come to see Animal as a
friend ever since we had our first conversation, and there was no way
I was going to even try to suggest that he and Kate should stay.
Animal has clearly been dealing with depression since Wraith's death,
and this was the first time since then that he looked as though there
was some life in him. Animal has no memory of his home world, and
even though I think its important for him to learn more about where
he comes from, Monster's stories about this world lead me to believe
that it fails to meet Animal's expectations, whatever they maybe. My
fear is that he will fall deeper into sadness if he comes to realize
how he may never find what he is looking for. However, now that I
think about it. Animal might not be going to discover his roots.
Instead, he just might be looking for the same thing as Kate.
Neither Animal nor Kate seem to feel as though they are
strong enough to protect one another, let alone themselves. Kate, a
skilled but normal human being, has been surrounded by powerful
adversaries ever since she returned home. Likewise, Animal, who has
constantly strived for the ability to protect his friends has always
needed help from someone else. It was Wraith who taught Animal how to
fight as a Primeran, and it was Monster who saved his life when
Wraith killed Ghast. Animal and Kate are both probably looking for
the strength to protect themselves and one another. At least that's
what it seems like. I hope they learn that there are times when
strength alone is not enough. Ghast should have taught them that
lesson already.
I have some tasks ahead of me while they are gone as
well. Kate's number one job for me was making sure that the Primeran
that will be left behind stays out of trouble. The other was to
continue doing research to try and track down Dornan to see if he has
found anyway of dealing with the Grim virus. Obviously, keeping
Meryle safe is another, as well as trying to stop as many Grim
sightings and transformations as I can. But it was Kate's last
request that gave me some concern. She told me to keep an eye on her
cat, Pumpkin, as often as I could. Ever since Ghast's army attacked,
Kate has been staying away from her father's cat that was left to
her. Meryle claimed that Pumpkin saved her and Kate when Ghast's army
broke into the house. Now, Kate seems overly paranoid that it isn't
normal. As strange as it sounds, I have started to notice a few
things. Pumpkin does watch Kate often, everyday in fact, with an
almost hateful glare. Whenever Kate tries to put her in a room with
the door closed, she always gets out. Even when it's locked. It may
sound crazy, but I'm starting believe she may be on to something.
We're on our way to a small clearing where the gateway
to Ferus Mundus is suppose to open. Monster wants us all to stand
back as explains how this all works. The air is heating up and I see
a red bolt of lighting crashing down from the sky. It blasts away the
earth beneath it and leaves what looks like a crackling tear in
space. A dark figure comes towards us through the rift and lands
before us. It stands... Monster smiles as we all look down at this...
child.
Bodyguard first class “Kit” at your service my
lord! My sister, Takai waits on the other side for your arrival!
Well done, Kit. To be my bodyguard you will need
special training. While I am away you are to guard that young female
human with your life. She is a princess of these lands and my savior.
You are to also work with her knight, that human male standing there.
Yes my lord! I will guard the princess with my life
and join her knight in defense of these lands! When you return you
will not be disappointed!
Well said, Kit. Now, tell me what you wish to say to
your sister, for it will be sometime before you are able to meet
again. I'm sure she would be most happy to know your words...
Yes my lord! Please tell her that she is the best
sister ever and that I know you and she will save the honor of our
clan!
