I have studied the works of

Miragul and have seen the flaws with the process he used to reach immortality.

I do not wish to be bound to a single container. I wish to be a free spirit, able to keep my memories and will. I believe I have found the key to doing what I desire in the ancient Combine texts I have discovered recently.

I will use the same process

Miragul used to draw his soul from his body, however I will not graft it to a simple object. I will use the soul grafting techniques of the

Combines to attach my soul to another until I wish to leave my "host." I will be able to live forever in this plane, a million different lives if I so wish. The only restraint I have come upon is

I will lose a bit of my life energy each time I change hosts. I do not wish my soul to be torn apart piece by piece so easily. I have consulted other tomes concern- ing the soul and life essence.

I believe I may be able to steal the life energy of another and add it to mine.

I do not simply mean life, I mean their being, the thing which transcends life and death. The soul I devour, so to speak, must however be close enough to mine in essence to be accepted into my own soul. This is where you, my apt, pupil come in.

The only living soul that may be close to mine is the soul of my dear father.

Years ago he traveled to the

Plane of Sky, never to return, however; I have searched for his soul throughout the known planes of existence and he does indeed live. Travel to the

Plane of Sky and interrogate its denizens. Find the location of Gkzzallk and simply hand him this black book. It will shrink his body and trap it in a box.

Bring it to me and receive your last "reward."
