Me and Rev have been traveling to area 4 for 2 weeks now. We thought it would've been a simple day process. However, once again we were reminded of the fact we had no money. We are currently in area 2. Trying to find ways to make money has been harder than I thought.
It doesn't seem to affect Rev though. Actually he seems happier than i've ever seen him. He must be excited he'll get to meet his dad soon.
"Are you excited to meet your father?" I ask.
He looks up at me with a huge smile and says " I am." He continues speaking.
" I have so many questions to ask him i've been waiting for this my whole life."
It is good Rev is looking so happy. I haven't seen him smile like that in ages. It is November 28th. It has been 48 days since Stitch passed. Even though holidays still exist no one celebrated them in the slums.
I look at Rev and say " You don't have to worry about getting your hands dirty for money i'll handle it."
Rev nods his head in agreement. When it comes to handling money i'm the best out of both of us. Since in area 2 there are job sites. I can use those to earn money. Eventually I should take over one of the areas.
Area 7 would be the best. Whenever me and Rev aren't exploring area 2 making a map of the whole place. We are training trying to improve are synergy. Rev flames need to be a lot stronger because the stronger the light the darker the shadow.

NoTe has been training a lot harder lately. I think what Hephaestus said about him annoyed him. I've been exploring Area 2 a lot. It is really tame and I heard it is nicer looking than most other areas.
We've been here for about 2 weeks. NoTe has been earning money for us. He has most likely been taking assassination jobs.
I can't kill as easily as he can. I had went to the auction house the other day. It wasn't just items and resources being sold there. It were also people.
There were beast men and woman. They probably came from Borolin family. The Borolin family are all beasts of some kind and have control over them. I've heard they mass produce beast men and woman for wars and other uses. They are more beast than human so they have very low intelligence.
I go to a bar to collect information. NoTe never goes because he doesn't drink. One day I asked the server.
" How could I meet Erik Doom?" The server looks at me and says.
" You just gotta rise to the top in his fight arena he meets all his top fighters."
I'm surprised I didn't think it would be that easy to meet him.
" Don't call him Erik Doom here though. He goes by his nickname The fallen prince." I didn't know he had a nickname
" Why is he called that?" I ask.
" He is called that because around 50 years ago he was supposed to be next in line for leader. Of the Doom bloodline. However he lost to his younger brother. Then was condemned here as punishment."
So he lost in a battle and because of that he was condemned. That doesn't sound fair. I guess it would make sense though why he owns a fight arena. He became obsessed with strength after his loss. After I learned that I left the bar and went back to the tent NoTe made.

Rev has came back from the bar. He doesn't seem that drunk this time. It has been a while since I've visited my shadows. I go into their world and everything has changed.
It is like they've molded the darkness around them into a city. The 4 horsemen are leading everything. Even though they have no body they are building a mind of their own. They all notice me and turn around and kneel.
" How did you guys build all this?" I ask.
" When you let us loose to look for the girl we saw the cities in England. It gave us inspiration and some of our memories back."
That would make a lot of sense. They are shadows they take shapes of other things. All of the shadows go back to work except for the 4 horsemen.
"Our king we are the forgotten so for us to stay as shadows we have to stay as the forgotten" they say.
" Yes, I understand that I won't speak on you guys at all" I respond
" You are the forgotten as well." They say
I make a confused face and say. " What are you talking about? I'm not forgotten people know me"
" People know the you as you are know. No one knows your past even you. For you to stay as the king of the shadows you can not learn about your past. No matter what." They say.
After they say that I leave the shadows. I can't think on what they said too much. If the cost of me using this power is that I can't learn about my past then that's ok. I notice a man in an all black suit approach me.
It is an old man. He shows me a contract. He wants me to kill some people in a building for him. With enough money to pay for our trip to area 4. The only thing he says is to make sure my face is always covered. If someone sees my face I have to kill them. I agree to the contract grab my blades and leave.
It shouldn't be that hard to take out a few people. I wear a mask over my face. I take out the first few people I see. Since it is nighttime it is easy for me to just move from shadow to shadow. There are a lot of them.
Some people have noticed the bodies and started looking for me. One of them throws out some type of spray gas. I don't want to find out what it does so I quickly take out everyone. I check all the rooms and I see no one. So I take off my mask and check the gas. It's some type of poison but it wasn't very strong.
Most likely a prototype. Right when I turn around to leave I see someone. A child no older than 7. He is holding someone's head probably his father. He is also getting a perfect look at my face. Right after I notice him I remember the old man's words. " Kill anyone who sees your face no matter what".
