Day 8: Nyx’s Journal

The shadows stretch long in the fading light. I keep going back to the old ruins, like I always do. Yesterday, Vex was by the river, his voice low and steady. He said something about the wind carrying secrets, and I couldn’t shake it. Now, my stomach aches, my legs feel heavy, but I don’t care. I just want to remember what he said. I wonder if the stars are the same tonight. The air smells different at night—like old roots and quiet thoughts. I don’t know why I keep wandering, but I do. Maybe it’s because the world is too big, and I need to find a place where the wind doesn’t whisper too much. My paws are tired, but my heart feels light. I hope I can sleep without dreaming of the river.
