One Day since Arrival
The sun has just set upon our first day
within the new world. While the journey has beenlong and arduous, it now seems justified with this
view displayed in front of my eyes of unspoiled
natural beauty. It is almost a shame to witness it
tarnished as we construct our new homes and the
walls protecting them. Only almost though. I
would personally chop down every birch and oak
on this island to ensure that I will never again
spend a night within that floating rats nest.
Every night on onboard was filled with the
continuous creeks and moans of the most gentle of
movements. But tonight I hear only the gentle
breeze through the branches. My first real nights
sleep in the longest of whiles will be filled with of
the future and its potential.-Peter Parquagh

One Month since Arrival
Today I saw the oddest individual today. He isntactually a settler, but crashed on the shore sometime after ourarrival. As such, not much is known about him but onlynumerous rumors. Peter Parquagh has claimed to know thathe is a black magician, and sold his soul to the devil in
exchange for dominion over a demon named Mephistopheles.This is obviously ridiculous, and I know Peter has a habit ofexaggerating the truth. And yet there is a very curiousnature to him. When at the store today I caught his eye, he
turned away in a bashful manner. This action took me by sucha level of surprise. This was a man whom half the town feared,but to me seamed so innocent. I secretly hope to run into himagain, as I have a newfound curiosity for the man that I justcannot explain.

It has been nearly a year since my
banishment to Roanoke Island. In this time I
have had several opportunities to explore notonly the town, but also the surrounding area.
In one such instance I came into contact
with the indigenous people of this island.
Despite being highly primitive, almost to the
point of savagery, they have an intriguing
art practice not unlike my own Enochian
craft. One young fellow in particular has
shown an extreme prowess. His name roughly
translates to Caliban Half-Fish. He is
apparently the son of Sycorax, the medicine
woman of the tribe. With some guidancetoward civility, he could grow to becoming a
very promising mage.

My Dearest John-
I wont pretend that what we had wasnt special to me. Ican still feel the warm breeze of your breath passing through
your hair. I will truly never forget you, though that seemsfairly self-evident as of late. But I am a married woman, and
the daughter of a Governor. As such I must fulfill certain
expectations of behavior.For this reason I cannot allow you to be a part of her
life. Her names Virginia, after our Queen. I t wasAnanias choosing. I am so sorry, as I know you will always
love her. But she deserves a chance at a normal life, with ahappy family, and this is the only way I can give her that.Im sure youll understand, as you always did. And perhapsone day youll find the power to forgive me.
-Forever thinking of you, Eleanor

I have realized the sheer power thatmy angel Madini is in possession of. At
the moment there is no reason for this tobe any cause of concern, but this may
not always continues to be the case. That
is why I am designing as spell to work
against her, just in case I need it in the
future.
Due to her nature, she is vulnerable
toward light that is fueled by magical
means. For this reason I have created a
series of devices that would create a cageof light, aimed by crystals found in the
depths of the island. Magically speaking,
the contraption is powered by a single
spell-word of my own invention,
CROATOAN.

It has been nearly a year since we settlers first set
foot upon this island. In that time we have produced
and maintained a secure and stable homestead. Thatalone is cause for celebration, but today is especially
wondrous for myself. My wife Eleanor has given birth
to our first child, a beautiful girl. Eleanor has agreed
to name her Virginia. It may seem clich, but there isa palpable regality to the small child. The small tuft of
hair of white gold forms a crown above her wise grin. I
will do my best to ensure that she has the life of a
princess here.

I awoke today to find Virginia absent from
her bed and her coat missing as well. Eleanor was
completely distraught. She revealed to me thatVirginia would sometimes play in the native village
outside of town. I had no time to be livid at this news,
but only formed a search party to go look for her.
Thankfully Mr. Dee was familiar with the indigenouspeople and was able to lead us to them. This turned out
to be a complete waste of time. The only one of them
capable of speaking English was missing. They would
either completely ignore us, or act completely erratic at
our questions. One young man forcefully insisted upon
me taking a crude painting of a man hunting a doe.
Dee seemed to react to this, but it was clearly
meaningless. I was so distraught when I had to return
to Eleanor, crushing the hope that she had had when Ileft.

It was nearly a week before the men found Virginiasbody. I watched and waited, as they walked back into town
with solemn faces, Anansias carrying her limp frame, bloodall down the back of her dress. One could tell they were alldistraught. This town always loved her so much. Anansias
later told me one man in the search party openly wept at the
sight of her.We gave her a traditional burial out in the fields. I
wouldnt call it a graveyard. It never had that feel. Wevehad deaths before, but always natural, always expected.
Weve never had a murder before. I suppose itll feel like agraveyard now though.

A great tragedy has occurred. One that I amresponsible for. Magic may have been the hand
that held the blood drenched knife, but it was I
that brought that hand to this island. No amount
of good has been or ever will be accomplished to
out-way the evil I have caused. I will admit it is
possible Madini would have the power to undo this
awful act, but the risk is too great. There is no way
to tell that it wouldnt simply exacerbate the
problem. One death could become a hundred. Therisk is just too great.
Instead I am abandoning my craft, and
burying my grimoire, my book of the arts, deep
within the island, in my laboratory. I will return
to Britain. If Edward is waiting there for me, thenso be it. Then that is what God intends, and that is
the only power I will work with now.

Caliban, my apprentice, I am truly
disappointed in you. I cannot believe how
you have abused the skills I have allowed youaccess too and helped to train you in.
When I found her body I was completely
distraught, and I swore I would find whoever
was responsible. I then scoured the island for
evidence as to the identity of the culprit.Sadly I did just that. While you are
responsible, I am the one handed you the
tools. For this guilt by association, I must
take my leave. I pray that in my absence you
do not compound your mistakes any further.

Master Dee-
I am sorry. I had to do this. You loved her too
though not as I did. I know what happened came ofme, and it brings much sadness upon me. But you
are powerful. You could have brought her back
easy. Instead you have left your home and buried
your book of the worlds secrets. You quit but I
cannot.
I have taken the book and gone to Virginias
grave.I know Madini is power great enough to
bring her back. I am not having skill and I may
fail, but it is worth the risk. The world deservesher back. I need her back.

If you are reading this, I have failed again. Madini
is angered, and will purge the island of humans in
her wrath. To stop her just know thisBURN THE TREE, AND TRAP HER IN ITS
LIGHT.
You are my last hope of undoing my mistakes
Thank you
