Phew... As you know... This book is about a genius in magic.

...He is talented and has a pure passion for magic, which led him astray. He tested the very limits of magic until he finally had magic that could threaten the balance of the world. He turned into Hobi, not a human being. Do you know who this is? It's Shammos.

Gritto said that It's better to get rid of him. Robeira and I are human beings, and couldn't do it. It's not easy to take the life of somebody, especially one so powerful...as well as a friend of ours. I couldn't do it in the end, so I imprisoned him. Sometimes I could see him coming to his senses...other times, not so much...

It's been a long time since I saw him. Would you like to check on Shammos for me?

Thank you. He rarely comes back to his senses, so don't get upset if he's a bit rude.

If you don't want to, that's fine. I'm not encouraged to go to see him, either.

Hahaha... Such a nice weather. Wonderful. Wonderful...nice and warm sunshine... No, no sunshine in the prison. The floor is cold. It makes me mad. It would be fine outside.

I can't see outside, but it will fine today. It doesn't matter. If I think it's good, it's good. Grendel the Really Old will agree with me. Won't he?
