(This incredibly old diary is faded, but the writing is still legible.)

(Browsing its pages, you note the name Annemari appears quite often, even on the flyleaf.)

(Could it be the Annemari in Pandaemonium--Balder's daughter?)

Player: "Only one way to find out."

Hello there, Daeva.

How can I help you?

Is that a gift for me? I'm flattered!

Player: "Is this...yours?"

What? That ratty old thing? Obviously not.

But...hmmmm.... Oh...oh. I see. You...brought it to me because my name is inside?

Foolish Daeva. I have...nothing to do with this. Don't bother me with this kind of thing. Be off.

Player: "Sorry...."

Wait...it occurs to me that this might have something to do with...

Yes. Er.... Someone mentioned...a man...with a necklace. A long while ago. Was that you? His name was Arekedil.... I mean, I think it was. Why should I remember?

Maybe you should show this to him, though. And just to be...safe, you'd better not mention this to my father, High Priest Balder. He might be...somewhat annoyed.

Player: "I hadn't planned to."

Ah, Player! Good to see you again! How have you been?

From the looks of that [%mainslotitem], you've seen plenty of action. You must tell me all about it.

What brings you here?

Player: "This diary."

Curious. I don't remember owning a diary.... Why did you...?

Wait.... These names.... Where...where did you find this?

Does this mean...my father might still be alive?

Player: "I found it in an Abyssal Splinter."

Do you think my father might still be alive in this place?

Will you find out for me, Player? There must be hope. I must know.

Haug at the Primum Fortress might have the answer. Must have it! Go. Hurry!

Player: "Be calm. I'll be back."

Hmmmm. I've seen you at the Primum Fortress before, haven't I? I can't remember. So many Daevas.

Do you have a question about the nature of time and space?

Player: "No, I have a question about this diary."

Interesting.... This person has had some amazing experiences. Two Abyssal Splinters in a row?

And who is this other person it mentions? It seems he can move in and out of Abysses quite freely. As you probably know, that's quite difficult for ordinary Daevas....

So you want to know if the owner of this diary is alive, eh? I think it is likely, very likely. He says here he went somewhere, and after all, he has help from this...traveler. I should think he is quite safe, wherever he is.

But...you know, I don't think you should show it to anyone else. The High Pr.... Well, I needn't say any more, do I?

Player: "Mum's the word."

Player! Did you meet Haug?

Is my father alive? What are his chances?

Player: "He has good odds."

Thank you, Lord Azphel!

You have no idea how happy I am, Player. My father is alive! Probably, at least.

Thank you for telling me the good news! Thanks to you, Player, I know more about my parents than ever before.
