Journey

Time, it's a funny thing, isn't it? We move according to our perception of it, never breaking free from its grasp, for without time, what do we have? A still image or nothing at all? So unknown yet necessary, it makes you wonder hows the flow of time outside of our narrow perceptions? Are there some beings where time itself flows in a completely different manner? Perhaps, these ancient ones, what is time for them and what's their purpose?

Days have come and gone, the time of day itself is kind of hard to discern because of this almost barren room, white tapestry, white bed, white makeshift table, white documents, and a red chair, the one June was napping in by the time I first awoke here. My only indication of proper time passing is the constant stretches of time when the lights will just go out, snuffed out by something unseen, and when I fall asleep I would eventually awake to the lights being on. One or three times might be coincidental but six times, that's a pattern that one cannot ignore, it is one like day and night, and when tomorrow comes we will be there, in that frozen wasteland from my vision preparing for what's to come for that hole to open and unveil this ancient abomination, Leabaidha what is its purpose? Does it even have an agenda? Or does it possess a higher level of consciousness than what we could ever perceive? These documents, I asked for June to retrieve them from my chambers for me and to search for a summary for the different countermeasures and containment procedures, god, I could not tell her, she's already going through enough, how would she react if I told her what has become of him? Would she break down? No matter, as much as it shocks and hurts Chrys is gone and I have to make the best for the ones I can still help, I need to get back to the info at hand, anything to reach an understanding, perhaps one that can save us.

Shit, she could not get a hold of a summary, all she got back with was my documents, wait, no there's something here, something else, a pamphlet? and on its grey surface letters and numbers.

Levels of knowledge

13 1 19 20 5 18 Will obtain clarity to the point where he alters the flow itself, he shalt be truth.

13 15 20 8 5 18 Will both listen and know both subject and the flow itself.

11 14 9 7 8 20 19 Will possess access to the spring, flowing forevermore.

19 15 12 9 4 5 18 19 Will fight through the darkness guided by its glimmer, yet expandable to its cause.

16 21 16 16 5 20 19 Will be strung along through the vision of him and her.

May the humble traveler see.

What did she get her hands on? Are these passcodes referring to a spring of unknown knowledge or is it referring to certain individuals masked by the guise of a number within a hidden legion? Being the truth, is that even power an individual can possess? It might be, Chrys's body didn't break down from the merge with an Ancient, following Sara's reaction it seems unheard of, but I must question how much she really knows, she knows clearly more than me, but how far away is it from the crystal clear visage of truth? How much can we truly witness through this partial translucent cowl? Well pondering over that won't help me or anyone right now I still have one more day stretching this journey ahead.

Over the past few nights, I've managed to regain my mobility without withstanding too much torment, it is slightly straining and painful but it's nice being able to move my arms and feet and to adjust my position so I can sit upright, it makes it way easier to do things I would like to do, I can gather knowledge myself to the best of my ability and I can move myself over to the latrine area just down the hall outside of this rooms singular door, god it was humiliating needing help to get there for the first couple of days, but I can't let something trivial as shame and humiliation to get in the way of my objectives, I need to do whatever I can, and for that, I will continue to research the ancients so I can be prepared like one ever can be. Let's see I've read the base documents for both Lillilussuria and Leabaidha. When it comes to Leabaidha I doubt there's any more info for, since this will be the first time in human history where it might waken from its long slumber. Lillilussuria might have some more information I should look into that, maybe I'll search for more info on it when we get back... If we come back, no, I cannot hold myself captive by negative thinking, I need to break through with vigor and optimism, now let us see.

Subject: Kathrecramoisi

Known within the legion as the Crimson Commander

This Ancient terror has been one of the most consistent threats through our collective history as a species its form has appeared prior and in the back of the bloodiest and most catastrophic incarnations of war, it appeared during the spartan war, during the fall of Rome, during the buildup to the french revolution and the Napoleon wars, and it was most recently spotted twice in Germany first on the 26th of August 1914 and for the second time on the 30th of July 1939 close to Danzig Poland.

The subject is described to often appear in the shape of a large lion or sometimes a humanoid, with crimson withers and four carmine wings, and on its head lays four eyes glazed and consumed by a reflective purple, eyewitnesses, when brought in, only manage to speak of its splendor completely negligent submissive and removed from themselves, fixated on the vision of what they saw in its presence until the day they themselves cease to be.

With this, even if we don't know the subject's true form we know that it possesses strong psyche-altering abilities and has a profound power to turn civilizations to rubble through its own subjects. Therefore we should apply only Unit 1 and 10 to carry out A1 countermeasure tactics and P1 containment procedur...

Ah lights out, that day is closing in, creeping quicker than anticipated, I should rest and regain as much power and energy as I can, god know's I'll need it.
