Long live the Pillagers! Sorry, I just get so hyped I just gotta write it out too, heh.

I mean hey, things could have been way worse, right? Suddenly blinking out into a whole other world, that could have gone a million ways, I probably should

have been warped right to the core of the planet, but I didn't! I don't really know what the Pillagers do besides, uh, pillage.

But like Earl says, 'We're putting that stuff to better use than they would.' So I mean, they'll probably thank us for it in the long run. They better, right?

Unfortunately, I am still just a scout, going to different villages and checking if they're worth our glorious empire's time. Wish I could actually help, but whatever.

The Pillager Emperor is also quite the presence if I do say so myself, (and I do), he's found my Killatrix so interesting that he's bestowed upon me

the Gale Axe, which was passed down through generations ever since some 'Blindfold Guy' gifted it to the tribe.

You'd think being so important, that I'd get to actually participate more, but alas he wishes not to take any risks... I guess it makes sense, but liiiike, damn.

It still sucks.

Sometimes I do sorta wish I could be like the villagers, though. They seem so carefree. I'm really not sure why we need to oppress them,

sure, they are actually pretty messed up if you look into their history and politics, and definitely would make some bad calls if they had total world power...

At the same time, though, do we really need to do the things we do to stop that?

Every time I bring this stuff up I get called soft by Sarkswid or whatever. I bet he'd probably make fun of me if I mentioned missing my parents

too, which I can't exactly turn off. I promised I was gonna get them out of prison after that piece of garbage Larry framed them.

I don't even get why they were arrested, just because they didn't want to cover the legal fees? For me? What kind of future do I have?

If I didn't end up here I'd just be another homeless bum in a few years. I'm not smart like Dad. I'm nothing.

But they took the bullet for me anyway, because 'that's not our money' or whatever. Fat load of good it did them.

You agree it’s dumb, right? Whoever’s reading this…

Maybe if I could go back I could bust them out, but... how? There's not exactly any kind of portal or anything.

No wonder I latched onto Sarkswid and Earl so fast, I'm lonely, huh?

But just because I can point out a problem doesn't mean it's fixed. I need to get over myself, otherwise I'll always be a crappy Pillager.

Tomorrow the Squad will move out to kidnap another village that nobody wants to tell me anything about. I kinda feel bad about them.

Isn't that weird? Feeling guilty over kidnapping people I don't know.
