Stuck

Alex read the diary with a weird look on his face. The people around him were still looking at him, even staring, but he didn't have the mind to think about that.

He thought about what the diary said.

It was a tragic tale of a demon who had to live through the war, and while Alex did empathize with him to a certain extent, there was something else that grabbed his attention.

Something that was entirely too easy to miss if you weren't looking for some clues.

Alex read the two lines that he found were the most important.

[I avenged you, mother. I avenged you. I killed those humans in battle. I carved your name with their blood on the snow.]

[The young lord was ambushed by 4 humans in the blizzard. I saw him dance with death. I saw him find glory.]

He quickly thought back to the other diary from nearly 10 years ago that he had managed to take from another one of these big houses and remembered the similar lines in there.
