The Lone Traveler’s Diary and other Short Stories

You stumbled upon the Vault of Knowledge, cape ripped and mangled from the attacks of the krills that had suddenly appeared near the gate to the temple of Wasteland. You had not expected those beasts to appear again after meeting their kind at the start of the Golden Wasteland. Traumatized by your harrowing encounter, you are comforted by the soft and quiet atmosphere which the Vault brings to you. There are rows and rows of unlit lanterns on the shelves of Vault that reached to the ceiling, forgotten by time and its passing. You believed that these objects used to collect the lights of spirits who used to live in Sky. They recorded every moment of their life in detail, their knowledge and their wisdom. Yet without the proper care from a living being, these lanterns could only sit on the shelves, waiting for someone to summon them again. Finding safe haven within such a vast and empty place, you decided to explore. You also made a mental note to retrieve your lost wing lights at the other realms once you have found the Vault Elder’s tomb. After absorbing a few more wing lights to strengthen your flight power, you suddenly found a book lying on the second floor of Vault. It was sneakily hiding behind a ladder and you would have missed it had your light emitted from your body not found it. Years of neglect had left the brown leather-bound book covered in a thick layer of dust which you blew it off to read the cover clearly. With gold cursive lettering embossed on the bold cover, it reads as “The Lone Traveler’s Diary and other Short Stories”. Curious to find out more, you found a cozy spot within the room before slowly peeling the cover off from the pages to read.

Author's Afterword

Are you surprised that you have a name? "Blitz" is short for Blizzard. I'm unsure if you have been following my Instagram account, @darkwinter3. Blizzard was my second account as an assistant to my main for rockets and wing charges. I was sad to see him go when I deleted him because the phone could not sustain the game. So I thought I should remember him as 'you'.

Firstly, I would like to thank you, readers, for your support. I am pleasantly surprised that… this story is very well-received and has inspired quite a few of you to write more Sky fanfictions. I am thrilled that "The Lone Traveler's Diaries" is to your liking. I am also honoured that this became a source of inspiration. I also want to thank my friends for making the cover of this book for my birthday and adding some motivation to most chapters of this book.

Secondly, this story was meant to end on a sad note. I was surprised that no Sky fanfiction was made in the concept of a diary, so I took the chance. Eventually, I realised that for a diary to be found, it either means that the author of it passed on or the author was still writing it. I preferred the first option because I didn't intend to write a lot for this story. Hence, that means, Winter, my character and the author of this diary, has to die. I extended it a bit more to my friends and your requests. Still, all good things must come to an end.

Finally, I am unsure if there will be a second book for this fanfiction. I have no plans because I wanted to start on fanfictions that I have yet to post. I have been hinting at them in my Instagram story and posts, but I have yet to finalise them fully. I'm not even sure if I can find an artist to make the cover of the books because I have an image of them that I want them to be in. However, I don't have the means to pay them as much as they want to because I'm still studying. Well, these are just some of an author's concerns. As for originals… I have yet to act on writing one.

Thank you all for reaching the end of this story. Short stories will be posted from time to time until there are 10 short stories in total. So far, only 5 have been posted. I will see you all again if I ever write a second Sky fanfiction.

If you want to follow me for more news about other stories, you can follow me on my Instagram, @darkwinter3. It is cluttered with my interests (gaming, felt cakes, etc.), but I will write news about my stories.
