I hate this damnable island. After waking upon the beach I have experience nothing but horror and hardship. Upon ariving at the Ashen village and speaking with their cheif, Joryn and I decided to take to the tunnels once more to return to the artifice where we had left our comrades. That night a horribly powerful being, who I learned to be Leopold, found us inside the artifice and struck a most mighty blow upside the dome of my companion joryn. So mighty was the blow that Joryn fell to the earth and did not stir. I do not know wheter he lives or not. Seeing Joryn struck down our two Ashen compains flew into a foolish rage and lashed out at Leopold and were both slain in an eyeblink. Leopold spared my life and led me through the tunnels to his palace in the Keeper city.

When we arrived at the city Leopold forced me to adorn some manner of fancy bracelet which blocked my ability to interact with the gift. Following this, he left me alone for a time until his apprentice came to speak with me. Jareth was his name, and a most disagreable sort was he. He bullied and threatened me to learn what I know, which as it turns out, is very little. The most agregeous of his offenses to me was that he cast a numbing spell on my leg which took some time to wear off. I employed every ounce of tact in my body and by the time Jareth departed our relations had thawed somewhat.

During my conversation with the aprentice I learned that Leopold and his keepers were preparing for some sort of operation against the Ashen for the following day. I emplored him to take me with them so I could observe the goings on but he refused me. Indeed, a minder was set upon me so that I could enjoy no manner of mischeif while in the abode of the mighty king Leopold.
