"Day 34 After our successes during Greengrass, we found that the deeper we go into the Eldenwoods, the more difficult our task became. The wood from the Eldentrees became steadily harder, almost stone-like, and our saws and axes have become worn down and dulled even after just a few strokes. The headmaster promises shipments of higher quality tools, and the prospect of harvesting such wood that could not be pierced by normal iron seem as lucrative as a goldmine! Imagine the ships, the structures we could build with such lumber!
Day 73 We've been breaking our backs in the brisk chill of Highharvest. We've only progressed inwards by 3 days travel time, as the crow flies, and now no quality of steel or iron seems to cut the Eldentrees with any efficacy. The trees themselves are now wider than I could have imagined, truly monolithic structures. At night, the laborers have mentioned glowing eyes in the woods, watching us and our progress, always outside the candlelight. Once Ulrik, torch in hand, chased after these creatures, only to return exhausted and without any idea of where the white burning eyes originated from.
Day 164 Most of the logging crew has deserted or disappeared into the cold of winter. While the headmaster insists that the lumber we are producing is generating a level of wealth none of us could have imagined, the white-eyed creatures come closer every night. The silhouettes of such tall, skinny beings haunt our every moves. They appear almost as if limbs made of branches, crowns made of antlers and horns, but the eyes... The eyes are what pierces the soul and terrifies us more than their lanky, inhuman appearances. I am too afraid to desert myself, and travel for days in these woods back to any semblance of civilization with such creatures torturing my senses every night. I may be trapped."
