I went down the path out of the forest.  It didn't lead to the beach and my camp.  I find myself now in a valley with some cliffs in the distance, and I'm hearing other voices in my head besides the strangers.  I can hear Lily.  There is no way she could be here, but I hear her.  I can't help wishing she was really just around the corner, but every time I look she's not there.  The strangers told me where the second crystal is, but when I got there it was surrounded by a swarm of insects.  I tried to reach in but the insects cut up my arm pretty bad.  I cleaned the wounds in a nearby river, but they look pretty bad.  At least the bleeding has stopped.  The Strangers are angry with me for failing.  They yell at me in my head.  I will try again tomorrow.

My arm is swollen today.  That was pretty stupid of me to shove my arm in a swarm of whatever those are.  Reminds me of the time Joseph grabbed a potted cactus and got hundreds of little needles in his hand.  Only this is much worse.  No, Im not giving up.  Just shut up.  Leave me alone for once.  You were the one who told me to reach in there in the first place.  Why wont you tell me who you are?  Where are you?  Who are you?
