Optional

"I wanted to make sure the seas would be as safe as possible in case something happened to me. I also needed to make sure I was prepared.

Graveyard Island is filed, as you'd expect, by gravestones. Many give clues to ancient wars and heros, and I'd like to learn more about them when this is all over. Specifically, the one who taught me Cure. I followed the clues and story deep into the caverns until I found the massive relief on the floor. I hope whoever missed their loved ones can take solace in how much they'll going to help me in the upcoming fight. With only a small amount of mana, I get a healthy amount of HP back.

Far to the north is the mysterious Island of Whispers. On this island are the remains of a tiny village. The only inhabitants are nonhostile ghosts. Every time I try to approach them, all I hear are them asking for help. Elsewhere on the island, all I hear are whispers. There was a strange, blue skull in the middle of the village, and I felt the urge to destroy it. One of the ghosts nearby suddenly vanished, replaced by a gravestone that told me its story. Every villager is still here because of a tragedy in the past. As I sought out the other nine skulls, I learned that this village once housed an evil child. He was betrayed by a friend when that friend threw the child's toy into the canals. In the proceeding time frame, the child was betrayed again. He began to spend time alone, studying magic. He created at least two creatures that destroyed parts of the village. Many tried to stop the child, but none could. One day, researchers came to the island to study magic as well, but they fled and left their stuff behind. Using newfound information, the child created a monster. It was a massive version of the robot I found far too often on Sky Island. After liberating all ten cursed skulls, all the ghosts disappeared, the sky stopped raining, and the whispers stopped.

I wonder...was that child Mezmeroth?

Dad, I'm ending this tomorrow. You'll read these soon!"

This counts as celebrating Halloween.
