This is Emil. The...other Emil? I'm still not entirely sure what's happening to me, but apparently I haven't been myself for the past month. I'll try and start from the beginning, based on what I've read in my journal.
Around the time of the Halloween I was possessed by somebody. Like me and everybody else, he doesn't remember much about himself, but he says his name is Ratatosk and he came with me when I arrived on the island. He doesn't remember who he was either, but he and Professor Klarth carried out an experiment and it looks like he's some kind of spirit. From what he's written it sounds like he knew what was going on when I was just me, even though I didn't even know anything happened at all. It was like one second I was in the middle of town and the next I was somewhere else, and a whole month had passed in an instant. (I've missed out on a month of school. How am I ever going to make all that up now?)
He left me behind a message telling me that I need to learn to fight better, and to watch out for somebody or something I need to protect. That's one of the things I've remembered since I came to myself again. I've remembered a few things. I'm supposed to be a knight--a Knight of Ratatosk. (It's strange, imagining myself as a knight. I don't have any armor with me, and...well, I don't look very knightly. Maybe I used to be different.) But Ratatosk, the one who possessed me, seemed to think he was the knight. That doesn't make sense, though, because how can you be a knight of yourself? Yet he was talking about it like he was a real knight, and I feel the same way.
Is Ratatosk the name for something else this one was later named after? Or is he my boss, in a way? But then that doesn't explain why we both remember being knights. Maybe we used to be separate, and ended up the way we are right now.
It's all really confusing.
I also remembered a little about my family. My parents were Lana and Reysol Castagnier, and my full name is Emil Castagnier. We lived in a town called Palmacosta. But while I don't remember when or how it happened, both my parents are dead now. Was there some way I could have prevented their deaths? Was that why I became a knight? There are still so many questions, maybe even more than I had before.
Mom, Dad, I'm sorry. I wish I could remember more about you, so that you could be more than just names to me--so you won't be forgotten by your son forever because he had the dumb luck to get stuck on this island. But I suppose the only way I'll know the answers is to wait and see what I remember next.
(OOC: BACKDATED LIKE WHOA because threading took a while. Please pretend this went up like a week ago. 1% memory spent on Emil's parents, the fact that they're dead but not how they died, and the name of his hometown. 2% regain total, 2% remaining.)
