Dear journal
I think I'm dying.
My illness has turned for the worse. I can barely speak anymore, I am always cold, my skin is pale and now small white blisters have started to appear all over my body. I don't know what is going on but Lowan is spending our savings on sending me to healers and buying medicine but nothing seems to work, there are no answers.
I cut open one of these blisters this morning and I smelled rot. Am I rotting on the inside? Why is this happening? No one around me is sick, no one else seems to have this and the healers have never seen it before.
This is unfair!
My life was just starting so why is it already ending? I was about to get married, I was going to start a family, I was going to open up my own stall.
"A pox on you"
I've heard people say that when they are angry with someone. Did they curse me? Did those brigands find a way to curse me because I exposed them?
No, that would be impossible for them.
The witch. I have heard about her around town now. Did they go to her? Is that why there is so much talk about her?
I have heard stories myself. How she curses people, animals and farmland.
They must have gone to her. There is no other explanation.
They are trying to kill me!
