[ Once he's healed and calm enough, he will write in the notebook, his usual elegant script shorter and neater. ]

Hello, my friends. I regret to write you that it seems the beast that lurks in the woods has received a name. I do not know how, only that he has, and it has strengthened him. Please keep yourselves safe, and ward your minds as you sleep if you can, as he will strike there as he desires in an attempt to force you to say his new name.

He can and will hurt those around you to force you to submit.

If you do find yourself in a mental confrontation with him, please simply do your best to flee. He is powerful and while he can bleed, he can be hurt, I don't wish any of you to be injured in the process.

[ Telling them it can be hurt might make some of them foolish, but it's a hope they need. The Creature can be injured. ]

Please, stay safe.

Ah no, it seems he wasn't too interested in corrupting me.

[ At least, it sure didn't feel like it. ]

Are you positive? Maybe Zahliya and I should come visit you, just to be sure...

[ Touches his throat.... ]

It may be best, yes, actually. Though I do not see any flowers, the wounds healed black, and I am unsure if the corruption may show in other manners.
