Note text[]
- Lost another book. Stop leaving them places.
(Below are journal entries by Sera.)
(Also several sketches of Skyhold with impeccable crosshatching.)
(Also an improbable number of hearts.)
- Moving again. Less stuff, more things. People things.
- Too many Val-somethings. Name less stupid, Orlais.
- Last Jenny checked in. Wasn't worried.
(A drawing of a gloved fist holding an odd symbol, smashing against the face of a Chevalier. The symbol is red and smells of strawberry.)
- (If Sutherland's operations have been completed) Castle Sutherland and crew. "Sers" all around now. He ever stop grinning?
- Traveling again.
- And Again.
- Been here before. We're everywhere.
- Back to the Winter Palace? Never good. Pack bees.
- Bet Varric we're in trouble (scratched out). Varric won't take a sucker bet. In for ten with Cullen.
- Everyone looks old and tired and fat.
- Find who shrunk my Skyhold clothes (scratched out). Piss!
- Don't say the Inquisitor's hand looks bad.
- It looks very bad.
- Is Widdle even here? Why do I go where there's no Widdle?
(A drawing of Sera and Dagna silhouetted by an explosion, bees, and exploding bees.)
- There's my <nickname>. Been too long.
(A drawing of a tangle of legs. The toes of one foot are lovingly stippled. And curled.)
- Chargers in the Palace! No one will be sleeping.
- Rainier hugs harder than Blackwall. Still beardy.
- Josie is best here.
- Cassandra needs to punch something or she'll explode.
- Everyone? They never call in everyone.
- Leliana knows something. Knew it, Inquisition is in trouble.
- Friends are friends! Best night with everyone.
- Drank everything. Made some promises.
- Drank too much. New Jenny always makes me drink too much.
- Will be all the fun together. Or apart.
- What city? She/he picks.
- I'm going to tell her (scratched out). Why can't I tell her!
- Now or never. Tell her. (scratched out). I TOLD HER!
WE SAID YES!
- Lady <first name> <last name> is my Wifey!
- Do I get her name? That's like family.
(A drawing of Sera and <first name> in so many flowers. "Sera <last name>" is written in every blank space.)
- Not enough flowers. Never will be.
- Cully and <Inquisitor's first name + "ly"> tied it! Desks watch out!
- Rainier and <first name> finally dating normal! Deserve it!
(A drawing of a heroic beard wearing a helmet and holding a sword. An arrow pointing to it says "True.")
- Hard to get the beard-arms right.
Dorian leaving again. Didn't cry. That's what he wants.
- Elf-loovians and ruins. Ruins can get off.
- Qunari and elfy things? Make sense, things!
- Elfy gods aren't even demons. Weird or worse?
- Someone tell the servants? They seem off.
(A drawing of the last mural from the ruins. Unfinished.)
- Not my hurt to keep.
- (If the Inquisitor is an elf) Is s/he all right with the elfy stuff?
(scratched out).
- If Inquisitor says "I'll be all right": It's all right! Maybe. Be there anyway.
- If Inquisitor says "No, I'm really not": Not all right! Wait and help. Somehow.
- Dwarfy ruins now? Mirrors can get off.
- Qunari all over everyone's things. Who steps on their old stuff?
- Not as bad for dwarves as was for Dalish. Maybe.
- (If the Inquisitor is a dwarf) S/he looks all right with it. Maybe. Be there.
- Varric is fine. The un-dwarf.
- Wonder if he's feeling left out (scratched out). Wait, Winter Palace is the human ruin. Clever!
- Be there for him if it starts hurting.
- (If the Inquisitor is a Qunari) Hope s/he's fine killing all these Qunari-Viddy-Talva-whatevers.
- (If a Qunari Inquisitor is friends with Sera) Be there for him/her if s/he isn't.
- Tell Widdle. Proper smart. She'll sort it.
- (If the Warden helped Dagna) She'll add runes, make flowers and friends. Smoosh!
- (If the Warden didn't help Dagna) She can burn all the scary. Seen her do it. Still smooshy.
- Elfy servants still all weird.
- Felt that "things feel samey" thing again.
- But not where we were. Weird.
- Her hand is not getting worse. It isn't.
(A drawing of something that was violently scribbled out.)
- It is not!
- But not where we were. Weird. (Scratched out.)
- Spirit books can eat it. Real things are real!
- Nobs have that look. Ending coming.
- Shit way to go, dying on the inside.
- Try to the last. We owe her that.

- I will make them know <first name> had (scratched out) HAS friends.
- It isn't... (scratched out).
- I will... (scratched out).
- We have to... (scratched out).
(The book is scuffed, as though thrown against a wall. This page also has what look to be tear stains.)
- I have arrows. They leave and things die.
- I get to keep something.
- Why don't I get to... (scratched out).
- Make her happy. I will keep that she was happy.
(There are many empty pages, and then one that is dog-eared.)
- When wonder we where wanders Widdle? WWwwwords.
(The outline of a sketch of Dagna smiling. This one is taking some time.)
(A detailed drawing of Dagna smiling. It looks almost complete. The nose is especially life - and button - like.)
(A lovingly completed drawing of Dagna smiling. The nose is smudged, possibly by a kiss. Also there is an arrow pointing to it that says: "Kiss-smudge from kissing.")
- Take time, time taken.
(The outline of a sketch of <first name> smiling. This one is taking some time.)
(A detailed drawing of <first name> smiling. It looks almost complete. The right ear seems to be a special focus.)
(A lovingly completed drawing of <first name> smiling. The right ear is smudged. There is an arrow pointing to it that says: "Whispers go here.")
(The page with the drawing of <first name> has been carefully cut out. Written vertically on the remaining margin, it says: "Keep her with me.")
