Dear Diary,
The other day we docked in Trollesund. It is a town on Lapland's shore. A man Farder Coram knew said that their was a panserbjorn, which is a big kind o' armored bear. All the other panserbjorne are guarding Lord Asriel. He's trapped in a prison in Svalbard. This bear' armor had been taken away by the city, so we a-freed him and he got it back, cause the alethiometer told me where it was.
That was when we left for Bolvangar, where they take the children. The alethiometer told me there was some sort of a ghost in a village by our route. I kind of knew I had to, so I rode the bear (his name was Iorek Byrnison) to the town. What we found was that it en't a ghost at all, it was a child without their daemon! Boy was I so scared! We took him back to our sledges, but he died. Oh! I think that is what the Gobblers are doing.
I was back on the sledges, and I was worried for a time.
Then arrows started raining out of the sky! It was so foggy, no-one could see where they were comin' from. I tried to hide down in the snow, but a big hand tied me up. I was being driven away on a sledge, and the sounds of the fight faded away. I am afraid; I don't know where Pantalaimon and I are going.
Love,
Lyra
