For some months now, me and the remaining solders have been getting physically weaker as we stay in this poison forest. This is a evil place that gives off some kind of poisonousgas into the air that slowly kills you. I have tried with my magic to create ruins that filter out the air, but that can only do so much.
I have sent a request to the kingdom for permission to change locations numerous times, but it was all denied saying that this was where we were needed the most. I don't know many things because majority of my life has been spent on leaning the art of the arcane. I don't even know the location of the kingdom, only the most important things.
I like to think of myself as dedicated to my work,….but not knowing anythingexcept thing that have to do with the arcane, have broth me into many troubling situation as I lived in this forest. from almost dyeing to poison plants to members of my own army almost sexual assaulting me, but I got out of every single situation with the help of my second in command who is a very good guy that sees me a 32 years old woman as his a 25 year old man as his little sister.
I know he is a weird guy,….. but he is also a caring one, plus I think he is interested in me. I wonder what kind of face he will make when I tell him that I am not interested in him, hahahahaha, I just can't wait for that day.

Yesterday I felt something break through the protection ruin I set up. At first I thought It was an extremely strong monster so I tried to send out my mana sense but I could not fell anything, maybe it was a false alarm. We are in no condition to fight any monster.
The next day kept getting this feeling that something is watching us, even my second in command feels the same way. I know that something is out there but for it to go unseen even from me it most either have a extremely high stealth skill, or is so strong that it can suppress both is aura, mana and presence completely.
In which both cases will be extremely deadly for use especially in our current weakened form, that is why i have made the decision for all of use to get out of this forest and go home, even if I lose my job and all my money at list I will be safe and maybe even start a life with a beautiful girl,….if I can find one.
I told my second in command to tell all the solders that we will be leaving this place tomorrow, and they should state packing there things today. I stayed to look into the forest where I felt that unpleasant watching felling coming from, but it immediately disappeared. I know it will be back in 1 hour or 3.
I just hope we can get out of this forest before whatever that thing is attacks us. I don't want to die in this disgusting place.
