Day 49

  I'm going to be a father. I never imagined myself taking care of a child. I've always seen them running through the parks with their parents and siblings, but I never imagined that in the future I will have a child, a copy of myself, who sees me as their father.

  Day 55

  While I was resting after a light outdoor training session, Anoker called me for a trip, a long trip. I'll be gone for at least a week. I was sad, knowing that I will be away from my love, fearing that she might get hurt if an invasion occurs. However, Anoker reassured me that she would be fine; he told me that she is a captain of the first division of my fleet. I didn't even know I had my own army, nor that the love of my life had been by my side while I fought.

  I talked to Iris, she understood the situation and told me to be careful. I love this caring and understanding part of her.

  When I was leaving, she called me and screamed to me, "Zathor! I. Love. You!" I stood there looking at her with a blank expression, not knowing what to do, Anoker gave me a slight push and said, "This is the part where you say 'I love you too' back, alien."

  I spoke as loudly as I could, "Iris! I love you too!"

  I saw her waving, with a small tear running down her rosy cheeks.

  I started to tear up for some reason. I asked Anoker if this was normal, "Of course it's normal! It's called love, dummy. It means you two truly love each other. Strive not to lose that! Beauty," he said as he placed his wise and heavy hand on my shoulders.

  The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

  Day 59

  We found a cave. It is much larger compared to the others we've found before. It strangely resembles the one I saw in my dreams with the dark crystals. We'll see what's at the bottom when it gets dark.

  Day 60

  I found the man who was in my dreams. We fought until sunrise. In the end, we lost a little over half of the soldiers who were with us. Anoker is seriously injured, he lost an arm and a third of his left leg. Anoker never stopped fighting, but the scene of the strange man devouring one of my men is still engraved on my mind. The dreams were a premonition of what was yet to come, and I wish I knew that.

  I managed to get some information from the strange man after immobilizing him inside one of the crystals. I asked his name, what he was doing here, and where he came from. Then, he said, "My name is Ornak, I came from a distant planet along with my partners,

  Z????????????????????????a????????????????????????????h????????????????????x???????????????????????????????????e???????????????????n????????????????????????????,??????????????????????????????????????? and  ?????????????????????????????Z???????a????????????n?????????????i???????????????????????????q????????????????????????h???i????????????????? ??????????????????????????."

  His words were distorted, I couldn't understand them. Then, a shock went through my mind. Anoker told me that I fainted at the same moment Ornak uttered those profane words. I started convulsing and then stopped. Anoker and the rest of the soldiers killed him and took me back to Arnunk.

  Day 68

  I was in a coma for 8 days. My wife was by my side while I was in my deep sleep. I received some updates on what happened in the meantime I was unawake.

  Anoker now has a robotic right arm and left leg. A warrior named "Benqher" was promoted to "Second General of the Fleet." Iris had to retire from her position as captain of the first division of my fleet; her brother, Adonis Khan, replaced her, I will probably try to meet him when I have the time. An anti-demon weapon was created, A.D.C.W (Anti Demonic Creature Weaponry) is its name, capable of killing 5 of them with a single, extremely fast shot.
