You look down at the pages, shaking. 'This is horrible, what happened there?', You think to yourself. You close the book, taking a deep breath.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You open the book again, sighing. 'If I want to find out what happened, I will have to read further into this...', you think.

We made it to the Vault unharmed. Well, physically. Emotionally and mentally, is a whole other story. Sah calmed down again, but looks scared and concerned too. Their light has gotten dimmer. I really hope that we are able to help everyone with this stuff before anything even worse happens. Oh, what am I talking about? It can't get worse than this, right?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You pause, thinking to yourself. 'If that sentence is mentioned anywhere, something is BOUND to happen...' You laugh softly at your own comment, before opening the book again.

It's been a while, huh? Well, things haven't really changed since the last time I wrote in here. Tsadi is in the Golden Wasteland, searching for something. They didn't tell anyone what they are searching for, but I have a feeling Teth knows more about this. I already tried confronting them about it, but they didn't want to spoil anything. Their response was to just wait and see.
September 15th, Year xxxx, 3:50 pm
Tsadi is back, something in their arms. They opened them and a baby Krill jumped out of it! Everyone was very bviously taken aback and shocked now, knowing that all Krills are reported either corrupted or mystriously dissappearing. Tsadi however, calmed them down, explaining that they kept it save from the corruption, somehow. They named the creature of dark- Light? Midnight. The Kr- Midnight jumped on top of Teth, to which they just laughed, hugging the creature. I knew it, they DID know what was going on! After this, Tsadi went to bed. This could've juts been me being paranoid, but, I could've sworn that I saw te tiniest bit of black on their neck...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You gasp, looking up for the first time. You look around the place you woke up in. When you first woke up, it was hard to make out anything in there, but now you can see it clearer. There are blue and black plants around you, making you assume that these are those dark plants mentioned in the book. This makes you wonder if this book takes place somewhere around this place, allthough you're not sure. You decide to read again.

I just walked into Tsadi in the bathroom, with them trying to wash something off. Once they noticed I was there, they immediately left the room. That way, i got a good look at their neck. There was definitely something black on their neck, and it seems to be spreading. I need to warn the others.

Tsadi dissappeared, none of us know where they dissappeared to, not even Teth. Strange. Midnight is gone too, probably with it's owner. We suspect they've gone to Wasteland. Teth offered to check it out together, to which i agreed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You heard something shuffling in the dark. Looking around, you close the book. You try to stand up, taking the the book under your wing,but ailed to stand up. So you stuck to crawling through the strange plants. They felt weird to touch and you got many scratches, but you think you're fine beside that. You made it through, sitting back down. You open the book back up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We were in Wasteland. Tsadi was there, or at least something looking like Tsadi. We tried getting a good look at them, but as soon as they spotted us, we got attacked by Krills. Once we were able to find a hding spot, we got a closer look at 'Tsadi'. They looked a lot like the Krills in their realm now, having these weird horns and spike that they do for example.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You hold your head in your palm, it aching. 'This all feels so familiar... But.... Ugh.', you thnk to yourself, trying to remember anything from before you fell here. Nothing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Teth and me are back at the Vault, telling the other Elders what we saw. This is not going as planned... Some spirits that visited again or even completely new ones came, travelling and searching for help. They reported some stuff we already knew, but also that they felt wached. Some of them said they could've sworn they saw something moving in the shadows, which didnt sound like a creature, but was too short to be a spirit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Speaking of being watched, I do feel like I am, come to think of it...' You wondered what that being could be.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 23rd, Year xxxx, 7 pm
Things have been the same as before, allthough we got some more news on Mek and Tsadi. Ayin told us their butterflies came to them, being scared away by the corrupted Elders. They saw the soldier and the mushroom-hair athlete, their words, not mine, talking to something in the darkness. They couldn't get close enogh to see what it was though. They also seem to be 'patroling' some certain areas.
September 24th, Year xxxx, 8 am
The spirits reported other sightings of being followed and watched and some 'him' being back. I tried asking the Elders who this 'him' person was, but they just brushed it off. I won't give up that easily, I'll find out who they are talking about.
September 26th, Year xxxx, 7 pm
I searcged around the Vault of anything that could give me any hints about who that peson could be and why they would 'return'. I found some books and scrolls but i haven't looked at them yet. I will wait until tomorrow with that. I did look at the scrolls, They described-

In the middle of reading, your vision starts getting blurry and spinning, your arms getting weak. You drop the journal, vision fading to black, slipping into unconsciousness.
(I might post another chapter today, I'm not entirely sure. Hope you all have a great day/night and enjoy this!)
