Battered Journal

Week 1 I'm starting this journal so I can keep a proper record of all the information I gather about my inmates.

Week 2 Last night a fellow tried to grab me while I was sleeping. I managed to stab him with a hollow bone I picked up earlier. The poor sod walked away with a terrible wound. I doubt he survived.

Week 3 The men are getting restless. Although my previous altercation earned me some of their respect, they still see me as a piece of flesh, ready for the taking. I'm scared, but I can't show it.

Week 4 I made friends with a fellow named Mordaxius. He claimed he was imprisoned for illegal experiments. The rest are terrified of him and his powers, so by gaining his trust, I also came under his wing.

Week 8 Mordaxius is relentless, yet enigmatic. I enjoy talking to him after everybody else goes to sleep. I don't mind sharing the blanket with him either; he's quite pleasant.

Week 9 My companion has taught me a few magic tricks. Today I set an aggressive prisoner's beard ablaze. It was delightful.

Week 10 We managed to reach a section where water is abundant, with plenty of fish to catch. We will fortify the position and remain here for a while. I feel at peace with my new friend; perhaps not everything is lost here.
