Dear Journal,

I commit my thoughts to you again this day, that in this post blight world we will and must get to the answers of our natural world. How much we've forgotten is a sin we can only begin to atone for. There are many mysteries which lay before us, and threats that are endless. I hope we may answer these together, and any who wish to investigate the Last Bastion and it's history more deeply, I bid those who would to seek me out. Let the knowledge be recorded and dreams fulfilled as the great beacon of hope shields us.
