This day was one of the most crazy days since creation of the barrier. The signs in the heaven and on the earth harbinger that something evil is approaching. The winds whisper its name, the dark clouds mourn over the fate of humanity, the ground shakes in fear and the sun didn't rise this morning, lying asleep wrapped by the blanket of dark clouds. The old camp was filled with madness and anxiety. Everyone had a sense of the terrible danger emerging out of the darkness. Even the most sceptic among us, men who don't believe in the old babes' tales, would tell that the Colony was a place stripped out of time. A place dwelling in the void of cosmos, suspended between two hells.
Some of us didn't see anything beyond the whisper of the wind and the black clouds. But, the second part reported the presence of strange people. They say that these people were looking for something, or for someone. According to the witnesses these people wore black hoods. Those who looked at their faces saw a variety of scars and tattos, but they froze in fear penetrated by the gaze of the cultists. But, the testimony about the strangers vary among the witnesses. There is a part of witnesses that say they were performing desacrating rituals. Morever, the others say that the occultists sacrificed people in these rituals.
This is the part that got me interested. What the occultists were doing and what was their purpose. I have successfully reached a couple of the witnesses, however, I didn't learn anything new from the most of them. The exception was one of the hunters, Hank.
Hank said that today he went hunting with other huntsmen. He also mentioned that they wanted to kill shadowbeasts because of the amount of meat it is possible to extract from them. He teamed up with two other guys who were looking for the fur and horns. However, their search went south. They couldn't find shadowbeasts in the internal area of the colony, so, they went exploring the outer area. After they sneaked through the canyon of the trolls, they were caught by a fog. Here, Hank mentioned that the fog appeared out of nowhere. He suggested that it was a trap planned before, as one of the hunters vanished. The second hunter suddenly remembered the place where shadowbeasts go to breed in the period of the mid-summer. The two hunters went to the mentioned place, but when they arrived something was bizarre. Instead of the cave, plains or whatever, the sinister chapel stood before their eyes. I asked my interlocutor how did it look like.
Before Hank answered the question, he took a deep breath. He couldn't find the the right words to describe the object. When he approached the chapel he froze in fear. The unknown force entagled his feet to the ground for a moment. He looked at the chapel and he felt its blasphemous vibe. The top of the chapel seemed to reach highier than the clouds. The shape of the tower looks like as if it was built to celebrate an obscene deity. The witness also mentioned the cordon of people who were lead to the building. Here his statement ends. He thawed out of his fear and ran away.
Unfortunately, I couldn't ask him about the details, but this amount of information confirms my earlier suspicions. I have been working on this case for years now. But, only two months ago was I able to make ground-breaking progress. Tonight, however, I am going to end it once and for all. Before I will fly to my destination on the wings of death... I want to admire the bleak sunset and think about the past.
