Final season:
Journal Entry 717: Our Queen has discovered my secret plan. I do not know how or from who, but I was summoned to her quarters this morning under the order of "Friendly chat". Upon entering her dining room, I was greeted by 6 human guards and Blind commando, all with bloodthirsty glares and drawn weapons. My heart leapt into my throat as I realised I had been found out. It was then when Queen Derpy Dev emerged from the shadows with an evil grin and eyes that would have looked more fitting to a goblin. Without a hint of malice, she questioned me on this secret project I had been working on, prying to see if I had been working on any deep holes to throw anyone in. With a sword at my throat and tears at my eyes (I'm proud enough to admit that) I took them to what I could finish of the project, namely:
This large sealable chamber with beds, supplies and soon to be a tavern. In desperation I nicknamed it "
The Alphazone" although its finished state would probably have had a far more boring name. Its designed to be able to keep a large amount of dwarves safely behind sturdy walls for a long time, just in case something terrible were ever to happen that we couldn't fight our way through.
The Queen, having escorted the guards along with me to the freshly smoothed chamber began to feel along the walls with her hands, sniffing the rocks and licking at faint Gold quartz that adjourned the walls. After a minute (or 10 for how long it felt with an axe at your neck) she turned around with her usual toothy grin and howled with laughter. I gulped, anticipating the worst as her cackle echoed through the room. Once she had calmed down, she turned to me, placed her hand on my shoulder and said in these exact words
"I almost sent Sock to gallows for the most boring reason"My heart skipped a beat as said those words, the realisation of why I had not seen sock flayed and quartered inside the Queens room. As yet more tears started to well up in my eyes, the thought of the last person who would ever care for me were killed for my ambition, the queen snapped her fingers and left, along with Blind Commando and her 6 Guards. I could feel my spit turning to bile in my throat as my mind calculated what had just happened and that I was to blame.
At least it would have, until the door opened once again, as I turned to face the queen once more, I was met with Sock, bloodied and battered yet very much alive. Without another word he slumped besides me, bleeding and exhausted and put his arms round me. I did the same as we huddled in the dark, Sobbing, Greatful for the mercy Armok had given us...
*Entry Over*
27th of Moonstone:
Another Artefact, considering wood is VERY precious, i'll allow it this one time.
2nd of Opal:
What I would normally consider to be a good day, My beloved Doctor Sock has been elected our Mayor for this coming year. While I worry for his safety as Mayor, I have a feeling that Our queen may have voted for him personally as a weird way of apologising for last months transgressions. She always has had a weird sense of humour. In another news, PuppyGuard has been elected into Dukehood, and with the memory of Dear Puppytreats death still on everyone's mind, I fear this internal power struggle may only get worse...
24th of Opal: For some weird reason, Our Ostrich population has been often inside the new zone we made. I assume they are there to pick at our food supplies but if a they were to set up nests there, it couldn't hurt to have a few extra eggs for supper...
5th of Obsidian: Speaking of eggs, we have 12 new Crundlings been born this morning. Some may call me traitor but there is something Endearing about those adorable little monsters. Unlike our malformed Cave Spiders.
25th of Obsidian:
Hopefully, we shall have better reading material from this decision.
28th of Obsidian: And thus ends my reign as overseer of Traphorses of the year 509. Here is our Stats.
And Here is our Save:
