Day 36

Today I woke up feeling miserable. My stomach hurt, my head was throbbing, and I felt like I was freezing but I couldn’t stop sweating, and worst of all, the food tasted bad.

Mest took a look at me and said I would be fine in a couple days, and I hope he’s right. This is killing me. He also said I’m not contagious, so I don’t have to be quarantined, whatever that means.

Tiddol made me some soup, it had noodles and chunks of meat from a draconic creature known as a cocratrice. It didn’t taste good, but it didn’t taste bad either, it was just kinda meh.

I don’t want to write a lot because my head is killing me, so I’ll cut it off here.

Day 37

Today I woke up in a cold sweat, I had covered myself in blankets and furs through the night and now all of them are soaked through with my sweat. At least I felt better in the morning.

I'm feeling a bit better today, everything still hurts and food still tastes bad, but not quite as much. Mest spent yesterday brewing a potion to help me, saying 'I might not be a very good alchemist but at I can at least brew a cure-all'. I drank it down all at once, fast enough that I couldn't taste it. Mest recommended that since it is supposed to taste horrible. It made me feel horrible for all of ten minutes, when I vomited up something. After that, I felt significantly better.

I was finally feeling good enough to walk around shortly after that event, unfortunately Tiddol wouldn't let me. She wanted me to stay in bed until I was completely cured, and stayed by my side to help me with anything I might need. for once I was glad that sprites didn't have bowls to dispose of waste as we just turn all of our food into mana. It was nice, having Tiddol wait on me hand and foot, though I would much rather be up and moving around.

I'm going to be cutting it off here. I am really tired, and Mest says I should be all but recovered in the morning, so I am going to go to bed early.

Day 38

When I woke up this morning I felt amazing. The first thing I did was run outside and climb a tree, before jumping from tree to tree. It was great, not being in constant pain. Tiddol was relieved knowing that I was fine.

Today I ate so much that I felt bloated. I could taste something good for the first time in two days! For breakfast, it was pancakes, for lunch, roasted boar, and dinner was something called curry. It was all Delicious, I couldn’t stop myself from eating until I was too full to eat another bite.

After lunch, Mest and Thesys approached me. I was confused until Mest spoke, then I was confused. He thanked me for helping Tiddol get over the death of their companion. ‘She always gets hit the hardest, you have helped keep her mind off the situation, for that we thank you.’

Other than that I just ran around and played. I managed to organize a footrace with the goblins, with Par’s permission of course. To tell the four of them apart I gave one a feather the songbirds shed, one a feather the colorful birds shed, one of them I made a bracelet made of grasses, and the last one a flower. They ran five races before they were too tired to continue, with Tiddol and I being the judges. The one with the flower won Three times while the two with feathers won once each, the last one came in second every time. We gave the one with the flower three berries, and he obviously loved it.

It was a nice day, but now I am exhausted. Now I am going to sleep, so goodnight diary.
