"Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying."
Arthur C. Clarke

The 2 long years that our protagonist was stuck on the planet was not easy on him, as you would expect to have nothing to do for the entire time other than roam the wasteland, to stave off the insanity for as long as possible, he had to create "friends" so to speak so he didn't become a jabbering wreck, even I'm not sure it worked and I'm the bloody narrator I should know his story, you're about to meet them anyways you decide if it worked.

"The stage is set Marcel and Hora have just finished spying and return to hamtel with the news, ACTORS! To the stage." Callum shouts

Hora-"As I do live, my honour'd lord, 'tis true;
And we did think it writ down in our duty
To let you know of it."

Hamtel-"Indeed, indeed, sirs. But this troubles me.
Hold you the watch to-night?"

Marcel-"We do, my lord."

Hamtel-"Arm'd, say you?"

Marcel-"Arm'd, my lord."

Hamtel-"From top to toe?"

Marcel-"My lord, from head to foot."

Hamtel-"Then saw you not his face?"

Hora-"O, yes, my lord! He wore his beaver up."

Hamtel-"What, look'd he frowningly."

Hora-"A countenance more in sorrow than in anger."

Hamtel-"Pale or red?"

Hora-"Nay, very pale."

Hamtel-"And fix'd his eyes upon you?"

Hora-"Most constantly"

Hamtel- "'Tis very strange."

"What is my lord," ask hora and marcel.

"Strange that a grown man has reached the point of having to use his hands for people to put on plays and changing their names so that he doesn't go bat shit insane" replies hamtel

hamtel my (left hand) turns to look at me as well hora my (right hand), "what was meant to do," I reply, "not create imaginary people to talk to, like I said the moment I created you, I had to so the monsters don't cause me pain for all eternity, for that would happen if I went mental."

Hamtel replies, "yeah, and look where that's gotten you, two imaginary people who speak to you through your hands and who you use to put on plays, talk to and lets not mention when you made us speak during one of your "urges" if we truly existed we would be traumatised, so I'm pretty sure creating two people to talk to is a sure sign you have gone insane, even the narrator hasn't got a bloody clue."

"What was that last part hamtel, I didn't quite hear the last part correctly" I ask rubbing my ear

"Nothing, just said me and hora are a sure sign you've gone insane already nothing else," he looks away suspiciously.

"I sharpen my eyes towards him, to see if he caves in and tells me what he said, I'm pretty sure he broke something, but I'm not sure what, but unfortunately for me he has a good poker face and doesn't break, very well ill move past it this time. As I finish talking, one of the horror finally appears, I didn't initially see them, no I could sense the wrongness behind me."

"It's been 2 years already, wow time sure flies by", I say with sarcasm dripping from my voice, I turn to see the grinning face of the tall man, "where's the other two abominations of the natural universe," I ask.

"They are currently busy making sure our plans won't be stopped before it can happen." He says as he wipes off non-existent dirt from his suit.

"Pray tell me what your plans are and how they could be stopped so I'm better aware of the situation."

"You do not need to know as it could not help you in anyway, and the only situation you need to be aware of, is that you are our puppet, and we own you, so you shall do everything we say." he says with a grin upon his face

"Speaking of ownership, it's good to see you haven't gone completely insane, we know you've lost some sanity, but that was to be expected, this we can work with."

"I am just going to give you the basic plan on where we going to send you and what our plans are, for you when you reach each universe."

"Your species created many, films, games, books on different universes, and different realities, our plan for you is to send you to specific ones so that you can destroy certain aspects of these realities, so that our "master" does not awaken from his ancient slumber."

"That's when it's me, why I had the feeling I've seen them somewhere before and the reason I described them as Eldritch horrors, because they WERE Eldritch, they were Eldritch gods where everything is just amusement for them. As soon as I finished the thought the tall man had a knowing smile upon his face which only confirms that he can read my mind, or I give away the game too easy."

"Ah, it seems you are finally working it out, fleshing, as expected and no you didn't show much reaction when you figured it out." Yep mind reader.

"Wait if your real, then your master must be AZ-. But before I could finish, I stopped breathing when this happened, the events from 2 years ago become rushing back and I was beginning to panic but as soon as it started, it stopped and I could suddenly breathe again, as I began coughing and spluttering," it spoke.

"Yes, we are real, and yes, our "master" is him, so you should know mentioning his name will be bad for all of us. I might as well add this small detail in, the universes we are sending you to are all connected to "him"."

"How are they connected to "him" they're nothing but make belief and how could you send me to these universes if they're not real."

"You must be aware of "his" capabilities so that answers your question, we are all part of his dream, so when he dreams of your species, creating something, like a "video game" that reality becomes real and becomes part of "his" countless dreams., Now enough talking there is much to be done."

"He opens a "portal" if I can even call it that, it was a void with tentacles flaying around the outside of it, now I'm cultured enough to know what's going to happen if I step through that thing, I'd rather my purity not be violated thank you very much. But before I could say any opposition, he grabbed my shoulder and said."

"I might as well tell you who your masters are, as you will be calling upon us a lot, my name is Nyarlathtep the other two were Yibb-tsll and Yog-Sothoth."

"My blood ran cold as soon as he said those names, I was then truly aware how fucked I was, and I knew that I would not die a painless or quick death."

"Well then get going. He then threw be into the tentacle filled void and the only thing I could say was, SSSSSHHHHIIIIIIIIITTTTTT, and as I turned to look at Nyarlathtep before the portal closed all I saw was his smug smile, then it closed, and my harrowing adventure began."

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening to the people who have made it to the second chapter, i must applaud you getting here as the first chapter must of been a harrowing read, but i thank you never the less, and i would also like to say a massive thank you to dekuton for the review about the quotation marks, hopefully i fixed the fuck ups.

My hopeful plan of uploading chapters will be once a week, since uploading a chapter a day unfortunately wont be doable as i know people like longer chapters that take more time, than one's that take shorter time but have less words, the only reason i released this chapter is because i'm giddy with excitement that people are reading my story as it tell me I''m done something right, also if you think you might have an idea for the story do mention it, as this type of story is new to us all i believe, and i want to make it the best as possible, and if you do give an idea and i use it, i shall create a character to use in the story as best as i possibly can, as this is the best possible way i can show you my appreciation. Other than that long A/N enjoy your day.

P.S to make up for this one being so short i made the next one a 5K chapter
