Text
I've heard word from the Grand Magistrate that the Rot is progressing across the land faster than accounted for. At this rate, many will not be able to evacuate in time to one of Falx's underground shelters.
They're discussing using the Library as a temporary shelter for those who can't make the trek. I wholeheartedly disagree. All the country's peasants, tracking in mud, and Rot, and disease? I have maintained this place too long for something like that to happen.
I fear what will happen to my Library after I depart for a shelter. It is all I have, and all I've had. I don't know what I'll do without it. The thought of it being used as a slum by the unwashed masses brings tears to my eyes.
I won't have it. The Kingdom can be doomed to their plague, for all I care. I will seal the Library. It will be my tomb, but the knowledge that I have lovingly maintained will stay intact for the ages to come. I can only hope that when it is discovered again, after all has been cast aside to drift, they put the knowledge to use.
