OPENING PAGES OF LEOSHIIN'S DIARY, FOUND THREE YEARS AGO IN THE RUIN OF DOCUMI. BEGIN:
-August 23, 2002
Diary,
I'm the younger sister of a legend! My name in Leoshiin. I live in Documi, a peace-loving little town many miles away from any big city. Call me crazy, but I get the feeling that we're all going to meet a bad end. Ah, I'll put that off for now.
I'm 11 in September. I've already begun counting off the days until I can blow out my candles. Every day brings me closer to maturity, and closer to Leoshi. I love my brother to death, but there's something odd about him I don't wish to write out at the moment. Maybe later.
-August 24, 2002
Diary,
I'm a little worried about Leoshi. He's staying up all night lately, and keeps himself outside, training to fight...for no specified reason. He's not talking as much anymore...and he's become more aggressive than usual. Earlier today someone tried to take his book, and he chased the boy down and hit him -
hard - until the boy gave it back. Something's wrong.

Diary,
Mmm...I was right. Something is terribly wrong. Leoshi, besides him going out to explore the woodland near here, has become ill. Mom thinks he's got the flu, and it makes sense. My brother
is nausiated constantly. I hope it passes soon; we just came back from getting him a shot to help with the flu. Of course, he struggled, but eventually aggreed to have the shot.

Diary,
He's been in bed all day. He's really sick...doesn't even have enough strength to walk into the living area of our house. Apparently, he's running a high fever. I don't know for sure; mom and dad won't let me into his room ever since he got sick.

Diary,
Sorry for not putting in an entry yesterday - my day was consumed with worry over my brother. He ran off two nights ago, screaming in terror and pain. My parents went off after him, but I had to stay home and worry all night.Yesterday morning, my parents found him on the beach Southeast of my house. He had passed out, and remained unconscious for most of the day.
Today, however, he's all better. He's gone outside again, despite my parents telling him not too. So...that's all I can think of to write. I hope Leoshi tells me what's wrong.
-August 30, 2002
Diary,
Sadly, my brother won't let me know what happened. Apparently, he doesn't know himself - he just knows he doesn't want it to happen again. I hope it doesn't.
On the subject of Leoshi (even though that subject IS this diary), I think he's hiding something. He went into the woodland near here a little while ago, and came back nervous. I think I even spotted a bit of blood on his pant leg. He's acting suspicious about it; he won't tell anyone anything about it. I just don't believe that he "doesn't know what I'm talking about."
I'm worried.
-August 31, 2002
Diary,
My head is reeling. I'm so confused. Why would he do this? It doesn't make any sense...
Leoshi is...leaving. Within the next few days, he will head East toward Barton, leaving his whole family behind. Why? I have no clue...he won't tell anyone. Mom and dad have been trying to talk him out of it all night...apparently even
they can't stop him. I heard him yell this: "If you lock me up, I'll break out! This is something I
NEED to do! You
cannot stop me!"
I think it's true...he's gotten really muscle-bound within the last week, and I fear for my parents should they attempt to restrain him.
Ugh...I'm suffering from a killer headache right now, being worried so. I'll close here. I'll be praying for a better future to come around. Leoshi...
-September 4, 2002
Diary,
Happy birthday to me...happy birthday to me...my brother, he's now gone...happy birthday to me...
-September 5, 2002
Diary,
...The house is so quiet now...Leoshi is no longer with us...I have no one to confide my deepest secrets with...mom and dad wouldn't understand...they couldn't stop their son from running off in the night. However, I can't blame them...Leoshi is just...so...
persistant...in getting what he wants. And he wanted to leave.
The only things I have left of him are my memories and a very beautiful pendant crafted from natural amethyst. My favorite stone...he gave this to me the night he left, since I had followed him atop a hill in the dead of night. Please...come back, brother...you're the most important thing to me. How could you leave...abandon your little sister? Please...
*Sigh*
