Mysterious Painting 3: Erik's Journal

(Tell her what you've found out) Perhaps it's because it hasn't sunk in yet... Or because I haven't seen him in so long... But accepting what happened isn't as hard as I thought it would be. Do you think he was happy up until his last breath?

What does it say in the journal?

Adventures were his life, his everything. So how his story ended isn't all that sad. Sorry for keeping you so long. You came here because of a painting, right? Take a look at this. It's painting that looks exactly the same. They're twins. We called them Iliya's Blessing. Erik and I each had one. I didn't know he took it when he left... Anyway, thank you so much. I've been reminiscing about the past these days... Thanks to you, I can really let it all go.
