Papers

[Shadowspeak]

Within the Rest Inn Peace lies the infamous cellar. Somtimes the cellar is just what it was meant to be- a near empty room, filled with the usual supplies of differant drink and food needed to keep the many conversers upstairs busy.

Lately the cellar has been haunted by a previously unknown creature. The creature was only known as a cruel, devious monster. Something lurking in this world only to serve the purpose of causing strife and distraught among the others above it's lair. The monster is known as Salvation... the monster is Shadowspeak.

What is Salvation? Pure and simple. He is salvation.

But of course the thing is not allways present. At times the cellar serves it's orginal purpose. At times it is not the sanctuary for this creature... bt also serves as a sleeping place for the priest.

With a visit to the cellar from above while the creature is not present would reveal what the "priest" has been doing or has done. The room lies in shambles, the spare wine and grog bottles broken into pieces from the few confrontations that have taken place. Two splatters of blood mark where it vut out Sigruns eyes, and another dark mark signals where Zusteakai started a large fire to fight it.

Papers are scattered along the ground... everywhere.

I fear for everyone now. Not jusyt myself, but the others. He keeps drawing them down here with his constant taunts. I don't understand what part about "Don't go down there" that they do not understand. Keraph understands not to venture down here, why can't the others follow his path? It has been twice now that the Trolls of Kai have come wondering down here.

Raven? Why him? I knew he has allways had bad intentions but why would he seek to help Salvation? If this continues I fear for the worse. Not for me alone but for the entire Horde.

Lately I seem to be changing. I do not mean just the eyes, or any other of my physical transmutations, but myself. Even when I am in control I feel a bit malicious. Iv'e been doing things I can't explain in my sleep, and having strange dreams when He is in control.

I keep dreaming of me once I was alive swimming in a pool of water. The water was calm and still, and as I swam I made not a single disturbance, not even thee slightest wave. A black hand extends from the sky and offers me out. I take the hand and I see nothing. I awake in a valley of skulls holding a dead child. The then child peers up at me and wails.. all goes black... and then I wake.

What happens when I wake from the dream? I find myself holding a small apple.

I fear I might not be in total control anymore, even when I am in "control". Everyday I feel a bit more crueler than usual. I twist the blade when I should only need to stab. I cause my enemy more pain when not neccessary.

Some may think I am insane... they would only be half right... if I di-

-as gone to far. This time He cut him open and fed shoved one into his stomach. I'm afraid that He is beginning to realize how close he is coming, and if someone talks to him and slips him some information, I could be done for. My entire existance is now at high risk.

My prison growls colder and darker. I start to see shadows and lights from my other eyes, but these are not normal perceptions... they see something else. They see something deep inside every being... something no other eye can see. It sees those sins hidden from the world. What is happening to me? Wh-

-is gone. The children won't stop crying. The seeds are all around me now, near endless. Everyday they find new ones to ensnare. More Horde die everyday because of me. More Horde die everyday because of whom I serve. Mabey Warneshi was right. Mabey the creature shouldnt be fed.

No. He's to strong now, that I can't abide by. He's nearing completion. Now he can act without me, but only down here.

Down here I am safe.

Why Karthog had felt the need to collect the scattered sheets around the Cellar of Doom, Niethan wasn't certain. But he had, and he'd given them to Niethan for deciphering. The pages were smudged, and the writing cramped, but Niethan had plenty of time.

He started putting together the pieces.

A notebook sits on the stone floor

All my reasons, fears, doubts and obsessions.

*The rest of the notebook is blank save the last page which has a large black circles drawn on it. The circle looks like a childs hand writing*
