Entry #3

I've decided to go against everyone.yourerror

The last two days have passed like never before 

I just moved and in the last hours i have made some wards around my new place 

some protective seals to keep literally everything away

and most importantly, make my house invisible.

I'm alone in this war, and i don't wanna be found

I didn't found anything about the man in white.

but here's what happened until now...

----

monday, a proxy came near my place sniffing

maybe it was some kind of dog trying to smell me...

he didn't found shit, so went to the woods.

And i followed him.

He took a different path, didn't follow the narrow path to the old neighborhood

These woods are vast, i don't like to be wandering around there

those trees don't like me, and i think they just don't like anyone.

It was hard to keep up with that proxy, he was really fast

and i'm impressed 'cause most proxies i've seem look like brainwashed turtles.

The proxy soon noticed me and stopped.

I didn't gave a fuck about being or not being seen because

at that point, he already had took me far enough for me to track anything around.

But something he said surprised me.

"Our VISIONARY IS WAITING" - he said with a creepy voice kind of laughing with a pure blank mask on his face.

He started walking again and after some minutes i finally could see a burnt shack in the woods...

A man, dressed with a coat similar to those guys on entry #2, but this one had a bird mask and really long red hair, was sitting on a wooden chair and immediately stood up when he saw me.

"Well, you're finally here" - he said.

"Ain't i a good boy?" - i replied ironically 

He chuckled and then teleported right in front of me.

"Looky looky kid, your time is over. You gotta decide what side you're on. You don't wanna be agains us, do you?"

"Wow cool, you can teleport, can't you stop time too?. Won't you guys meet up and go fuck yourselves?" 

He turned his back sighing in disgust. 

"You know, kid, soon you'll see that there's no escape from falling.

 Soon you'll see that your own fool pride is gonna kill you painfully

 and how, oh how, i'm gonna be there to watch. Now if you permit me... 80, 77, escort our friend home, yes?"

That moment two huge guys appeared from behind the trees.

One with a machete and the other with a woodcutter ax.

I drew my dagger and exploded my stunning seal on purpose.

I'm pretty sure  that all they will hear for the next week is that beeping sound.

Smoke to the air and the bird mask guy teleported a few feet away coughing.

I ran to get him, but as soon as i put my hands on him, he teleported us to what seemed to be a humid stinking cave.

"DAMN YOU!" - These was his last words as i buried my dagger on his throat over and over until he stopped moving.

for some reason i felt guilty about killing this guy...

I didn't knew where the fuck i was... So i tried to hear and track any life force around, but failed. I heard some noises far away through the dark but i couldn't see shit.

I followed the cave wall until i saw light and some stairs leading up. I created a repulsion seal (everything that hits me gets pushed some feet away violently)

I sneaked past some guys standing and looking against the wall painted in blood. Looked like zombies. 

I followed the stairs up, leading to a humongous hall, like a church, but instead of Jesus on a cross, there was the Faceless One, painted on a white wall with an altar and a little box on it.

And something that made even my bones tremble. 

A little girl all dressed in white. she had about 9 years old

(I can fight a thousand demons, but please, don't ever put a little girl singing creepy songs in front of me, i'll surely shit myself)

I approached the little girl, she was singing some of those sleeping lullabies, dancing and moving back and forth.

"Your clothes are all covered in blood, mister" - she said calmly, like knowing i was there for a long time.

Indeed, my woodland jacket was all red and i had blood even on my face.

"What are you doing here, kid?" - i asked.

I never have been good and kind with kids, i never know how to threat them.

"I'm playing! Want to join us?" - she asked with a cute smile

"Uh, no. Listen, i need to get out of here, can you point me out?"

"I'm not dumb, silly mister, i know who you are teehee

 but i don't know why you're here!" - that 'why' sounded like there was 3 people talking at the same time. frozen my blood.

"actually I don't know either. in fact, i don't even know where is here"

"You're in our house, of course, i thought you were here to get the key"

"Eh? So you know where the key is kid?" - Of course she was talking about the key to open the box the man in white has.

"I sure do know! It's right there, on that little box" - she smiled and pointed to the box on the altar.

"Yeah, right, and you're giving me away the key that easily" 

"Daddy wants you to pick it up. He said that you are going to deliver the box to him real soon"

I looked around, but there was not a single person. Just a giant door at the other side of the altar that i hadn't noticed before.

The kid was just standing there, staring at me with a creepy smile.

"Look here kid, i have already fallen into many baits and traps to know that i would probably lose my arm or even my head if i pick that up. Now point me out."

She rolled her eyes up and took the box from the altar after climbing on something behind it. And handed it to me.

I stood there for some seconds deciding what to do. I really don't know why i did. But i still did and picked up the little box.

When her hands touched mine, for a brief second i had a vision:

 A man with his limbs chained against a tree

 some people around him chanting something

 the man seemed to be screaming in pain

 another man came with a sword and pierced his body

"tee hee" - i heard her little laugh again.

I felt a really painful sting on my back, when i looked behind my back

there was some hooded guys, the one in front of me had my dagger on his hands, as my seal exploded and made everyone but the little girl hit the walls violently.

I noticed that my shoulder was bleeding and started running away. The door leading outside was opened. (yes, i forgot my dagger. fuck.)

I saw many proxies jumping and gathering around, running trying to get me

then i heard --

"Let him"

And the little girl was holding my dagger with a doll on her hand at the door with more than 5 proxies around her looking directly at me...

I "escaped", more likely they let me escape.

I ran through the woods until i found a road and followed it until i found a road.

about 4 hours of endless walking/running and almost nightfall. I was starving, tired and didn't even had energy to created another seal without it killing me. 

(because yes, i can't produce magic, so i use my stamina and body energy to create seals and wards)

Finally i found a village, a simple village, all that i need to rest for a little.

I had some money in one of my pockets, but then i remembered that i was all covered in blood. I couldn't even walk anymore, so i found an alley and passed out there. Actually, i closed my eyes for a second and it was already morning...

My shoulder was still bleeding, so i had an excuse to buy some things to patch me up and hopefully find some food.

I said to the pharmacy attendant that i was attacked by stray dogs on the woods. He saw my deplorable state and let that slip, thank god.

I found a way to shoplift some food without being noticed concentrating the few energy i still had to make me invisible.

As soon as i patched up and had my stomach full enough, i discovered that i was actually --only-- 160 miles away from my place.

Fucking teleporters.

I stole a bike and rode it tracking my way back home, and after almost 5 hours riding, some guy in a truck offered me a ride. A real nice guy named Kevin. even gave me a hat and some biscuits and most importantly, didn't asked any questions about the blood and what i was running from... No problems on the road back home this last day.

 Until i got home and saw that post

and i found a note on my desktop saying: 

                 "We will find you, Mr. Virus"

----

Oh well at least i got the key, but that doesn't look like a key at all.

gonna try and post some pics later if my phone let that happen. I finally could establish internet connection (poorly) on this "new" house.  

I don't know what to think about "Death To Birth" 

Fail miserably? i'm gonna show these fuckers.

I know you are reading this.

I gonna destroy what you want

you'll NEVER gonna put your hands

and use what's inside that box.

from ripe to rotten

too real to live
should i 
lie down?
or stand up
and walk 
around again?

my eyes finally 
wide open up
my eyes finally 
wide open shut

to find the fount
of sound
that hears the 
touch from my tears

smells the taste 
of all we waste
could feed 
the others
but
we smother each other 
with the nectar
and pucker the sour
a bittersweet weather

it blows through our trees
swim through our seas
fly's through the last gasp we left
on this earth

it's a long
lonely journey
from death
           to 
        birth

watch

out

my

dearest

                                    we
                                    are
                                              watching
                                                  you
                                    fail
                                miserably

Entry #2

The morning rises grey with a cold rain.
There's no one on the streets that leads to the woods.
The woods leads to the old neighborhood.
There's no one in the woods neither, a soft walk.

what i thought:
           "It's too quiet, even for them."

I scout the area from afar, behind the trees. Got into one of those abandoned shacks, that one was falling apart. The body of my friend was not there anymore. 
My hands are freezing, My blood is frozen. 
Somehow, my training to not fear was not working at all.
I'm terrified with that silence.
I feel an urge to get out of that shitty place, when i hear something. 
"Finally" - I think and at the same time my mind rebates -
"Oh god"

4 persons with black coats and staves are standing outside.
I'm sitting under the broken window as the door without a knob on my left gently swing with the wind closing and opening with that creek noise.
I already knew that there would be battle. And i probably was going to die.

one of those guys start talking,

"Do you think he will come?"

But no one answers him.

"He's already here." - another one said.

Suddenly everything got way colder than it already was.
I grab my dagger, holding it tight.
I can't run, I can't fight.

Then a door opens by the end of the house i'm in.

I get up and stood against the wall. 
A guy with two revolvers get out of the room looking directly at me.
he rises one of his revolvers pointing it at me.
I duck and jump through the window as he shot.
Motherfucker, grazed my shoulder. I fall on the wet concrete ground.

The 4 guys outside also ducked and were also surprised when they saw me jumping and ran one at a different direction.

The rain got thicker.

I run to the other side of the streets, there's what appear to be a bar of some sort over there. I hear gun shots, but no bullets got me this time.
I open the door and everything got bright.
I put the hands in front of my eyes, but everything seems too much bright yet.
So I try to walk ahead, ducking, believing i'm still inside that bar.

When i hear laughter.

Just one person laughing, actually.
One man.
I open my eyes to see myself in the middle of the streets.
Time frozen solid.
I could see all the rain drops in the middle of the air, the guy with the guns standing on the sidewalk, gun's blazing, bullets frozen in mid-air.
I see one of the 4 guys running into a shack and another one casting some kind of magic against the revolver guy.

"We have an overture to you Mr. Virus" - Said a man wearing a white suit with red tie. Couldn't see his face because he was wearing a fedora hat, one hand on the back, another hand holding some kind of box.

I just kept quiet. Not believing in what was happening right there.

"It seems, you have been brought on this, not by accident, but not by will.
And the enemy wants you to deliver something for them in which they cannot put their hands on it."

"Who--What the fuck are you?" - replied.

"Ha ha!" - he laughed again. "Do not worry about it, Mr. Virus. Just know that We're not your enemy for the time being. Time, as you can observe can be a relative matter ha!"

"You said something about a overture." - My mind is racing, million of questions and thoughts, but i feel the need to focus on what's happening.

"Indeed. You see, Mr. Virus. We already saw you, we--"

"Wait, who's WE?" - I interrupted.

His figure got darker and red eyes glowed beneath the fedora when he said calmly but firmly.
"Do NOT interrupt when i'm talking, filthy being!"

Due to the circumstances, i opted to keep my mouth shut.

"Very well, as i was saying, we have noticed the way you work. Me, in my most opinion find your work... sloppy to say the least. But we agreed that you can be useful to us."

I remained in silence.

"You have two options, Mr. Virus: You do as we tell you...
or you get captured by those 4 guys over there, As they'll probably send you to steal the something they want for them. and probably get brainwashed and turn into just another proxy. As your whole order did, to serve that one being and his will."

"You know what happened to The Seething Crows?" - I quickly asked.

"In due time, Mr. Virus, In due time."

"So what do i need to do?"

At this rate, the rain was slowly falling down, everything began to move in really slow, but at an alarming rate for me.
But not for the man. He calmly replied:

"You see this box?" - He shown me a dirt worn box, couldn't tell what it was made of, but had some engravings like runes with a small lock.

"Inside this box, Mr. Virus, there's something really powerful. Something that can control this reality and the others. Something this powerful can't fall in the  wrong hands, can it?"

I kept quiet.

"But there's a catch. We can't open it because so the enemy has the key."

"haha ha!" -I laughed as he stood still.
"Now i get it!" - I continued. "You have the box, and they have the key. You guys can fuck yourselves... I'm not helping anyone open a box that can control realities."

"You see, Mr. Virus, there's no middle on this war. There's no neutral side, or you'll help us, or you'll help them. choose wisely"

"Why me? There's million of people that could do this for you, people that do better work than me, why ME?"

"Mr. Virus... There's a reason you have been dragged into this.
There's a reason that one being wants you back in his game.
You have something on you, Mr. Virus... You've been blessed, and have been cursed. The one being wants you because he can't hurt you. We want you because he can't hurt you. Do you understand, Mr. Virus?"

"No, not really..."

"In a nutshell, he'll be pleased turning you into one of his to do his will and try to get this box from us. And we need your help to getting rid of him off our grasp by using your gift to take their key."

"Yeah, but something on you give me the fucking creeps, you're not any good fellas neither."

"Matter of point of view, Mr. Virus, just matter of point of view."
"But enough talk, my time here is done. You have 2 days to decide what to do, Mr. Virus, as said, choose wisely..."

With a bow, a gleam of light blew and he vanished in thin air.
Everything in slow-mo became normal again and within some seconds i could see the magic of the coat guy striking the guy with the revolvers, making him burst like a bag of blood. The bullets hitting the Coat guy. More blood spilled and i appeared back home in a second, just when 3 of the other guys appeared out of the houses and looked directly at me.

I can only guess that the teleport home was the white suit man's doing.
But i'm here, safe and sound. 
And now i have to "decide" who to "help"
I really don't know what to do...
This is too much craziness for me.
I guess i have no sanity anymore today.

and i have so many questions...
i don't even know where to begin asking
who the hell are they?
what the hell is that box, really?
why me?
but something just stroke my mind right now...
can this guy in white be... the Target?
I'll have to do some other investigations while i have time.
i guess i'll have to create some strategies here.
thing is, i'm already tired of this time travel shit.
i'm exhausted.
                                                                      welp.


take care
-virus. 

update

I just received a call from an unknown number. A distorted voice saying i'm supposed to encounter "them" in the old neighborhood near the woods in 3 hours...
Surely sounds like bait. Or worse.
I really don't know what i'll find there. Good things and tea it isn't.

I'm going to scout the area and wait. 


I'll upload what happened later for sure. If i come back alive, that is heh.


until then.

Entry #1.5

In the mid-2012, i got involved to some events that led me to where i am now.

When i applied to join the Crows, that was an order that received contracts by anonymous clients. 
The contracts had many ends, sometimes infiltration, espionage, and sometimes even killing a target if needed.
Their initiation wasn't the best thing for the human eyes or body. I went to many process like how to feel pain, survival, close-quarters combat, magic (which i lack the power completely), 
seals (whose purpose is to serve as a shield, if you didn't figure out yet, but it only works one at a time, and after the seal is broken, you have to create another one, there are many types of seals, many to name actually, i'll talk about them more in the future), torture and i could keep going with this list but i don't think it's really worth it. 
Well, after all that, my initiation was complete, i was already part of The Seething Crows, and was ready for my first contract.

I've learned how not to fear, and learned how to ease the anxiety by constant concentration. So the first contract was just like another drill for me.

It was just an scout and intel contract, as the name suggest, i should just observe and grab any information on the target/territory i was supposed to scout. No questions, no objections. Nice and easy, a milk run. 
Almost all the contracts were done with two or more people. Infiltration ones was one man operation. 

Well, so they put me and another novice, 03 was his number i guess, to scout and intel a target that was marked for death. I intended to do the drill to the letter, but the other novice, who thought he had great initiative, thought that "since the target was already marked for death, why don't we kill him already?".
I said no, we should keep with the drill (yes, i always had this soldier instinct thing, since i served my time in the army), but he was going anyway, stupid fuck. 
One rule that we always had in mind on the order was: 

                 "Don't leave your brothers and sisters, even in danger
                      even in death, if one fall, we all fall."

We followed the target and scouted and took note of his day, seemed just like any normal guy dressed in a grey suit with one of those fedora hat who had some office works and these kind of shit. Until he left his job by the dusk and went to the woods (why always the woods?).

What got my mind was that he was on foot, calmly walking through the woods as we followed him. That's when 03 decided to act, i stopped him when i saw the target was going to an strange destroyed and engulfed by the forest building. But of course, he didn't gave a solitary fuck and was going to do the target anyway. 

The target was already into the building as we got in, we heard some conversations and some strange noises, as some machine was charging up in one of the rooms. there was a lot of rooms in a long surprisingly blinding white corridor.

"how come this corridor can be so white on this destroyed building?" - 03 said.

So we followed the noise to the room, but no one was there just a chair, in the middle a white room with no windows.
We waited there for almost 20 minutes when we decided to get back to the order. 

When it happened.

Just as i put my foot out of the room, 03 vanished, and i heard his screams outside and ran to see what the hell was going on.
We were in a completely different location, i heard sound of water like in a beach, but couldn't tell cause there was still woods surrounding us, also a thick fog didn't let me see anything in front of me, but one thing i certainly saw.

There he was, The Faceless One. The first time i really had seen him with my own eyes, right there, in front of me. Until there i only had seen proxies and some other paranormal things.

03 had his whole body squeezed by two of his arms while the others were piercing his body like spears while the other arms were violently moving on his back.

I've seen videos, I've seen blogs, but none of them related The Faceless One so violent, there's more than one? does he acts different to every person?

Thing is, i couldn't let 03 die like that,  So i drew my daggers, and as i jumped to try and cut off the arms, my protective seal exploded, and my right foot was grabbed and i was hurled ten meters away. The last thing i saw was 03's body be torn apart like it was a piece of paper, that's when i hit a tree and fell unconscious.

When i woke up, it was already dawn, the fog was gone as the building and the woods. I was in the middle of a big field with a narrow road leading to a town. I still had my cellphone but the battery was almost dead and there was no signal.
So i walked almost 6 miles to a town i had never heard of, full of people with different clothes and cars that wasn't from my timeline.

Soon i noticed that i was thrown back in time. But when?
I found a newspaper that said i was on February 27, of the year 1867.
I just couldn't believe in it.

Walking through the town, people started to notice me, since my clothes was way too strange for them, when i found a building way different from those surrounding it.
It seemed just like the same building from before, but this time it wasn't destroyed. I've waited some hours in front of it, to see if anyone was going to go in or out of the building. I was starving, but i just couldn't leave that place. To help there was a junk food house right next to where i was sitting.

A gentle sir noticed me and came with a bread and water. As he handed me,  he asked

"You have been standing here all day looking at this building, you're waiting for someone?"

"Yes, i'm waiting for a friend."

"There are some strange people who come out of this building, if they are your friends, you should choose your friends better hehe"

I thanked him for the food, and not 5 minutes later... the target appeared.
Running like he was fleeing from someone. Got into the building and i went after him. As i opened the door, i saw a colossal wave of darkness swallowing the whole town. I got in as fast as i could and saw the target entering one of the rooms again. 
I quickly followed him to the room, and when he saw me, he shouted 

"NO, NOT NOW!"

Everything went black for some seconds, i felt a hand grabbing my throat, by reflex i buried my dagger to where it was supposed to be the abdomen.
When everything came back to normal, i saw the 03 laying dead, stabbed on the lungs. How? hell if i know. But way more blood painting the white room than it was supposed to be. 

I left the building to find myself on those woods again, seemed like the same woods, so i followed the path out of there, and it appeared that everything was normal, and i was back in 2012.
When i asked a kid what year we were, after he laughed at my face, he said

"Welcome to 2015 weirdo"

So yeah. That was just my first contract, and i had more intel than i could handle. I went back to the order, but what i saw was just a big pile of ashes.
I have no idea what happened or where they went. I've tried to search for them in many places but they just don't exist anymore. 

So here i am, 3 years in the future, tried to forget everything and live a new life and almost did. But it looks like i still have a contract to complete and still fight an entity i'm not sure how it works and why it "wants me back in the game".


I just made this post for you to know just a little who the hell am i, and how i got here and these kind of thing.
That's most of it.


I think i might need some help, heh

That's all for today,
take care.

Entry #1

So on the last 3 days I've been collecting information. And i got almost none.

I found out that some of my contacts in my old town are also missing or dead.

But i have indeed found one friend who said he had some giant info.

            the thing is, i didn't wanna know that...

I received a call, it was Andrew, one of my contacts and an old friend, telling me that he would rendezvous with me by the old abandoned neighborhood near the woods, saying he had some info for me, and important ones.

I never liked that part of this town, always give me the creeps when i'm near it, principally the woods. 

but okay, i went anyway. but shouldn't

The woods has an entrance with a really long narrow path that leads to the old neighborhood. When i moved here i asked some dwellers why that part of the town was abandoned, but they never really answer. Just say that "It's dangerous, don't go there!" or "Happened some bad things in there, don't go there!".

But there was I, completely ignoring their advice, walking through the woods, when i saw two figures standing by the very end of the narrow path and i stopped, drew my dagger, but held it behind my back.

As i got closer, the end of those woods seemed even longer than it was, and the figures seemed smaller.

So i stopped again and started looking around, i felt some strange presence near me, as i looked behind my back, there he was, The man that killed my best friend, that was two times bigger, with guess who? yes, the Faceless One himself.

It was that moment that i finally realized that i was dumb enough to run directly into a trap. Lesson learned.

I felt an sting and my Seal (I'll talk about how i've learned to make seals and what they do on other post) exploded into a million pieces, just when i saw his "tentacle" or one of his arms trying to grab me. He screeched and a loud noise that i never hear equal, looked like it was coming from every corner of those woods. When he teleported us to the middle of the old town.

Everything was grey, a thick mist surrounded us, I've taken that little time to create an Splinter Seal and get the fuck out of their vision.

As i ran, i noticed that the giant was alone, mumbling something, when the brilliant idea stroke my mind "throw your only weapon at him".

I really don't know when i became so dumb. 

As the dagger hit the knee, and he screamed like hell and fell, he got up in a second and started running with that sledgehammer on just one hand and the dagger on the knee, but i've let him get close enough so i could get my dagger back.

When he got close enough he mauled the ground when i dodged and slipped under him to take the dagger, he screamed again when i pulled the dagger off, ripping some of his knee with it, he fell again dropping the sledgehammer, i went to stab him in the neck when i my Seal burst. Million splinters of energy cut off the air and most of it pierced the proxy's body and he fell on the ground like a bleeding doll.

i heard a screech again when a big flash exploded and the mist, the proxy and the Faceless One, were nowhere to be found.

I looked around, just empty houses and my friend's body was laying on the ground near an simple wooden house.

I don't know how he died, but i'm sure it is HIS doing. I got closer and Andrew was with his eyes wide open, like he saw something terrifying before death. i bet he did. I'm so sorry...

But he was holding something, a note...

Another note:

The old enemy

is back in the game

the first part

of the circle

is complete

He knows

For His will

It Shall be done.

Whatever that means.

I find it funny they calling me "old enemy".

heh.

Well that's all for today.

take care.
