(Someone has cobbled together this journal from scraps of parchment and leather, much of it previously used. The new author has crossed out notes on supplies and troop movements and added comments in a scrawled, almost incomprehensible hand.)
Entry 1
Humans want to pay Myf to kill other humans. That’s a good thing, methinks. This camp full of magic humans who want to tell Myf about their gods. Me not care about anyone but Yeenoghu, but let humans talk. Tall officer say his name "Mor-alle" teach Myf to make words on paper. Practice every day, Myf. Myf write lots so far. Now Myf write about me and stupid humans. Give me lots of gold to kill other humans, then take gold back to pack.
Entry 6
Leader of humans shine like sun. Her name Kaylar. Kaylar wants to talk trolls, asks me to take trolls. Myf say no! Trolls eat us all! Kaylar put her hand on Myf’s shoulder. She say all creatures, gnolls and stupid humans and trolls, can serve her light. Kaylar’s voice nice but her words make no sense. Myf is not in light. Trolls will eat us.
Entry 8
Myf was right and Kaylar was right. How can both be right? Trolls came out of cave ready to eat us all. Then Kaylar talks about her light. Promises gold and food. Some trolls think this is good, like Myf did. Get lots of gold and take it back to pack. Then other trolls yell and say no, stupid. Say Kaylar is making a trap. Trolls fight each other. Try to eat us. Kaylar tries to stop them, says wait listen to me. Trolls don’t listen just fight. Myf helps kill a troll and sets it on fire (but steals an arm to eat. Very stringy). Kaylar and other humans put nets and chains around trolls. Now they locked up in camp. Kaylar tells the Brother Hefernan she is sad. She say "my arrow gants cause many innow sense deaths." Brother say it’s not Kaylar’s fault but Myf think maybe it is.
Entry 20
Big ceremony tonight called the Lightning but there was no lightning. Just a big fire and we all chant. Brother started and we said what he said. People yelled that they saw light. Myf didn’t see light. There was light inside though. A fire in Myf’s chest. Felt hot and strong. Kaylar came out and her eyes were like fire. Maybe trolls should have said they work for gold.
Entry 24
Kaylar marched us to old castle. She came to Myf and put hand on shoulder again. She smells good, but not like prey. Strong. She said Myf I am cownting on you to keep trolls in a line. The fire lit up inside again, like the Lightning night. Me made sure trolls all walked very straight. None eat us. We stopped to camp and Kaylar said good job Myf. Pack never says good job Myf.
Entry 30
On way to castle we pass by Myf’s home. Pack hides in hills. Pockets are full of gold but me not go to pack. They don’t have fire inside and if Myf left Kaylar would be sad. Who look after trolls? Myf has important job here. Myf not let Kaylar down.
