The day I die...alot

Dear, Diary,

"Cid had trouble in his basement, so we went over to deal with it. We were in Sasune to return Sara's pendent, so it was on the way. In the cellar was something called Aeon. He wasn't hard, so we smashed him with ease, but it's something Cid would have trouble with. I'm glad he asked is to do it. Aeon dropped a very shiny rock that Cid said was the orichalcum the Legendary Smith asked. What a coincidence! Also, how'd Aeon get down there?

We returned to Saronia, but US wasn't there. We traveled around for a while until we got to Falgabrand and found her. She was excited and got to work on tempering it right away. We hung around the river for a while until she came back with the Ultima Weapon. It's an immaculate blade of blue that is massive compared to what we've been using. Triton can wield with ease, though. US thanked us for letting her smith the orichalcum and continued with her journey. I wonder if we'll see her again?

But we were still in new jobs. Triton was trying to learn more about the dark knights, Drew evolved into the black belt and got a cool cape, Xander kept trying to be a bard with a varying success rate, and I dropped the sword and started using more magic. I dropped my cool red hat to pick up an alright white hat and became a sage. It allows me access to more powerful spells, but I can't wield a sword or good armor. The loss of a good weapon had little effect, but the armor, man. I kept dying a lot during the next few moments. From here, we went to learn more about these mythical summons.

First up, we returned to the Saronia Cave. When we last went through here, we had to teleport out. Had we kept going a little further, we'd have found Odin! Odin was a bit of a pushover. I expected my new magic to be a lot more powerful, though. At least Curaja was worth it.
After that, we went to the isolated lake of Lake Dore near the Living Woods. It was filled with watery mobs, but he didn't have much problem getting to the bottom. When there, we saw the beast Leviathan. Tsunami hurt. I got knocked out in the middle of the fight, so I don't have any idea how my teammates won. They seemed really shook up.
After this was a rematch. Back when we met Desch, we were attacked by a dragon! He wasn't where we last saw him, but we did find a strange cave in the middle of the mountains to the south. Crossing a range, we ventured into the caverns. After fighting our way through hordes of small fry, we exited to the world again. And then we were attacked again! Mega Flare will haunt my dreams until the end of my days. But the twins might not ever sleep again. Triton and I have high magic defense, but Drew and Xander didn't stand so well. Towards the end, it was just the two of us. I kept healing, and he kept using his own soul to do damage. Drew's early DPS allowed us to get the win, and Xander is starting to rethink the bard life. I can understand.
Lastly, we ventured back into the Forbidden Land of Eureka. I knew we missed something, and I'm glad we went down. We found a hidden ribbon protected by a ninja. It killed me, but Drew took revenge. Being the healer, I got to wear it because it protects the user from all status effects and gives resistance to most elemental types. We also found a new vendor at the bottom, near the other two we saw before. It sold crystal armor and a new harp for Xander. I might wear the armor later, but maybe we regret buying the Harp.
 
Something in the back of our heads told us we weren't strong enough to climb the tower yet, so we hung around there for a while. We defeated so many mobs, and Xander decided that the bard life isn't a good life. His DPS is more needed than his not-reliable buffs. Triton also stopped being a dark knight. His basic attacks as a knight deal more damage than sacrificing his own HP, and we all appreciate his ability to take damage for us. Plus, the Ultima Weapon and Crystal Shield really clash with the black aesthetic. Drew and I are gonna stick with our new roles for now. I definitely appreciate the new powers at my fingertips, and Drew thinks learning the black belt will allow him to surpass the basic monk. But we stayed down there for a while. Xander thinks he learned all he could as a thief and became a ninja. I don't know how they connect, but whatever. I think it'll work for him. Something also told him to seek out the Legendary Smith again. We found her north of Tozuz, and she gave us a Gladius. She said it's the strongest knife she's ever made, so let's make use of it!

The voice in our heads telling us we're weak is gone. I think it's time to climb the Crystal Tower and save the world."
