The elder entrusted the village to me today. He told me I can learn my duties as I go. I will start by keeping a record of the village.
There are still many words I cannot write, but the elder encourages me. I will do my best.
There is a young boy who lives in the cabin by the lake with his grandfather. It seems that his mother was called to heaven upon his birth.
His grandfather doesn't talk much, but the lad is very bright and spirited. He told me a story about a knight who rides a donkey again today.
The boy's grandfather has fallen ill and his condition worsens every day. The boy worries terribly about him, and there are murmurs of a "madness" among the villagers.
As I took my leave, the old man pulled me aside and said, "If anything happens, you know what to do."
I could only nod in response.
It was a terrible night.
Everyone stood around the cabin and watched as it burned to the ground.
The boy looked on without saying a word. Even as dawn broke, he didn't move a muscle.
The next day, he was gone.
