 " 'Night 1: It has been six months since I escaped from my masters. I have built myself a home, using the bones and bodies of those who once enslaved me. It is a fitting reminder of what I have endured and what I have overcome. I find myself constantly struggling to control the magical element that courses through my veins. It is a burden, a gift, and a curse all at once. But I know that I must use this power for evil, to unite our races and to create a better world.' "
