The book has once again sent me on a never-ending quest. Twenty-eight years and still, there is no sign of the Seal. I have returned to the sacred cave hidden in the mountains of what the humans know during this era as The United States of America. It has changed so much since I went in search of Fire. The human race has once again made a war between themselves. From what I could gather, the southern part of this country separated themselves form the central government. Next to Columbus’s exploits in the Mayan and Aztec lands, this is the bloodiest conflict I have ever seen. Eventually they figured it out for themselves. So-called peace has been achieved again. If I sound skeptic it is only because I am. In the past 100 years, I have seen more war on this planet than has ever been in our entire history. Only a year after this war they continue to hate each other over it. Two months ago they killed their own leader; One Abraham Lincoln (A name I know so well. His grandfather died in my arms after an Indian raid in 1786). He was apparently a great leader. He took this country that was a nation split in two and made it whole again. Then he was shot. Killed by a supporter of the rebels he crushed. Why can’t these humans accept the outcomes and live on? I must always question you, my council’s decision to remain hidden. We could do so much to make their lives easier. Mr. John Wilkes Booth is the man that the U.S. government accused of this murder. A sad day when our holy language is used for such evil. Sic semper tyrannis. Thus ever to tyrants. If only he hadn’t shot himself. I would have so loved to hear him yell for mercy in tongue so desecrated by his mouth.
To my beloved council: I suspect it will be nearly two score years before I report again. The book is leading me to the nether regions of this planet. A place they call the Antarctic. Ironic that the Seal of heat and life would be located in the most lifeless place on earth. Our Lady be with you always my masters.

The Seal of Fire is ours! The greatness of our Lady’s deception will never cease to amaze me. On my way back I also found a new use for the Seal of Air. Using the Old language, I was able to manipulate the air surrounding my body making myself move as if I was the wind itself. Brought me home years sooner than I expected. I almost wish it didn’t. The country you have placed me in has gone back to war. This time they have declared war on the country of Spain. This started with the explosion of United States Ship (USS) Maine. The media of this country can never resist the urge to blow things out of proportion so of course they immediately blamed the explosions on the Spanish military presence in Cuba (a small island south of the U.S.). So far, the war isn’t the massive bloodbath that in have come to expect from this country, but I doubt it will take long to get there. All I can do is sit back, watch, and hope for the best. I truly wish that you, my council, would let me intervene and save the lives of thousands. As I know that will never be the case I will continue my search for the six great Seals. The next the book is leading me to is the Seal of Spirit. Our Lady be with you always my masters.

The book has shown me the location of the fifth Seal. I lies somewhere near our ancient holy site the humans call Stonehenge. It somehow makes sense that Our Lady would place the Seal of Spirit there. I only wonder how we never sensed its presence so close to us. Due to complications in the surrounding world, this Seal will take al while to retrieve. For the last six years, the world has been crawling along in the worst depression I have seen since the great plague. This incredible failure in the economy has destroyed the funds that you have crated here for me. Nearly all the banks have closed and I know find myself behaving as a human just to survive. I am surprised to say that I almost enjoy these times in the civilized lands. There is a certain compassion and a will to thrive no matter the odds that I find strangely attractive. The current leader of this country is wise enough to be one of us. His understanding of his people is unrivaled by any leader I have ever witnessed on this planet. He feeds the needs of his people both physical and metaphysical. He provides a desolate country with jobs and emotional support with his open personality. I hope his ideals become the new norm for the leaders of the human race. Things are getting steadily better and I hope to be able travel soon. Until then, as always, I will watch and wait. Our Lady be with you always my masters.

I have found a way to retrieve the Seal. The United States has decided to bring their wars to the world at large. Seeing my chance, I immediately signed up for military service. They have selected me for operation Overlord. It seems like Our Lady is on my side on this one. During this operation we will be landing on the beaches of a place know as Normandy in a country they call France (the resting place of the Dragon Y Ddraig Goch). This area is just south of our communal site and the resting place of the fifth Seal. The same leader that pulled his country out of the depression is one of the three that are heading this front. I only hope that his kindness will rub off on the rest of his kind. I am starting to have hope for the human kind. Perhaps they will live on in semi-peace eventually. I will return to the holy cave as soon as I can with the Seal of Spirit in my possession. Our Lady be with you always my masters.

CLASSIFICATION: URGENT
The humans have attained space travel! The nation known as the United Soviet Socialist Republic has sent a metal projectile into space and are preparing for human travel into our sacred realm. I am sorry to say that, although I have the fifth Seal in my possession, I can bring you nothing but bad news. The war that was started during my last report is over. Better that I never had to see it through. I was the bloodiest era of human history I have ever seen. Millions of civilians are dead. Millions of soldiers where wasted on a war that never needed to happen. And now they are back at it. There have been no reported deaths in this war. But the tension is almost to the point of bursting. There is no telling when the world will be blown up by the shortsighted United States. This is a dangerous time for all races, not only the humans. I will continue my search for the Seal of Shadows and attempt to quell the hostilities between the nations of the world. I only request that you forgive me for intervening in the affairs of humans. But I cannot sit by and watch the ideals that once held part of this world its voluntary captive. . Our Lady be with you always my masters.

I understand your demands of me my council. I will remain and find the sixth Seal. The war of my last report still ‘rages.’ It is a slow war of on country attempting to best the other. I see no end. On top of the war, the country, which at this point has become my surrogate home, has been dealt a near deadly blow from inside its own government. The leader has been accused and convicted of betraying the trust of his people and orchestrating the cover-up of illegal activities performed by his supporters. I believe this country cannot survive this. Already the people have been rioting in the streets. Civilians are being killed. And it is only getting worse. The war has escalated to the point of tremendous bloodshed. Young men, boys barely beginning their lives, are being forced into a war that they do not believe in. And when they get back, they protest against the war that they lost friends to it. Overall things are not well. I once thought this planet had hope. I see now I was wrong. The Seal is my only priority. I will locate it and retrieve it. I urge the council once again to consider intervening in the affairs of the humans. At this time, I fear it is their only chance for survival. Our Lady be with you always my masters.

I have spent over eight-thousand years in this planet. I am ready to leave. I have located the Seal of Shadows. It lays in the deep reaches of the ocean. It will take all my skill with every Seal to retrieve it. But I will. And when I do my quest will finally be at its end. I am ready to leave. While I will admit that the entire journey has had its ups and downs, it is only in the last 300 years that I have wished the Seals had dropped on a different planet. This country that you, beloved council, forced me to travel to at its conception has destroyed my love for the human race. Humans have always killed themselves it is true. But never with such disregard for life. Never with such disregard for what is right and just. Their wars have been wrought of greed. Their policies are born of hatred for that which the do not understand. Now they are at war again. A war that has the entire country in rebellion against their government. This will be my last report to you. The next time we talk I will have the Seals in hand and will be bowing before you and Our Lady. May She be with you always my masters. And may She protect the humans from themselves.
