Dear diary,
I had a waking nightmare today.
A swarm of half-bug, half-person creatures flew in from the north.
No less than ten of the abominable creatures descended upon our camp!
I called for Leafsword to arm himself and chase this menace from our lands.
He immediately dropped whatever he was doing and sprang into action, copper sword held high. He shouted something like "The Gears of Grasp are on the job!" then raced off into the desert.
But the grotesque bug people were agile, and Leafsword soon found himself chasing them all the way to the northeast sand dune. I could tell he was growing frustrated… he would chase one, then another would sneak up behind him and punch him, flying away before he could react.
Finally, Leafsword gave up and took a nap.
In the field.
Next to the bug monsters.
Poor kid. I figured he was thirsty after all that running around, so I brought him a bucket of water from the turtle pond. He didn't wake up when I approached, so I just poured the turtle water down his throat and set the empty bucket on his chest.
Kid can sleep through anything.
