The Scribbles of a Madman
By, Weston Parsons
Hello, this is an Elder Scrolls fan fiction book, my very first in fact! I hope to write many many more of these small Elder scrolls related fan fiction novels/books. This is the journal of a madman, who has gone insane from the powers of Sheogorath the daedric prince of madness. These are his journal entries and his slow ascendance to insanity.
1st of Morning Star
The New Life Festival was an astonishing success! With , and games this was easily the best one yet. Although Echo, she was acting a bit off today. While yes I understand being a Snow elf can be stressful, since you're the last of your kind, but still she was acting very strange. But who am I to judge I am a bit of an idiot myself so this could just be an elf thing considering I am a Redgaurd I am not very well informed of their culture. I should check in on her tomorrow and I most certainly will. Hopefully Marko knows more about it than me. He is a Nord so he's stubborn and shows almost no emotion but it's worth a shot right? But for now i'll just head to bed and hopefully I can find a way to get through to her tomorrow.
2nd Of Morning Star
Today I met with Echo, but it felt uneasy almost like someone was watching us. And she seemed to be a bit more, unpredictable and crazy today even more so than usual. She kept talking about what she called "the staff" and something about fish sticks or something like that. I think she's gone completely insane but I'm not sure why, it just came out of nowhere without warning. I'm worried, I think she needs sleep or maybe some kind of help from the college of Winterhold. But for now I think I should just sit back and watch and see what she does next. So for now i'm just going to go to sleep and report my findings tomorrow.

When I woke up this morning I felt strange, my thoughts were clouded and I felt like I was being watched at all times by someone, or something. I went to check on Echo and she completely lost it, she began attacking me and yelling at me with anger but I don't know why. She continued yelling about the staff, but she is still yet to tell me what the staff is or what it does. Tomorrow I'm going to her house and searching for it . Whatever this staff is, it can't be good for her so I'm finding it and taking it away from her. I will sleep for now but first thing tomorrow morning i'm going to her house.

When I woke to see Echo, I felt a strange feeling in my head, a pounding feeling like something was trying to escape from my head. I heard yelling as if someone was angry with me. But I don't know why, so I headed to Echo's house and searched from top to bottle for any cluse of this staff she keeps yelling about. As I searched I found a staff with a strange mouth like tip. It's very hard to explain, but I feel odd when I look at it. Hopefully if I keep it away from Echo for a while she'll calm down and I can find out what this thing is. First thing tomorrow I'm looking over it and testing it out. Goodnight.

I saw him! I don't know who he was but he was here! When I woke up I began observing the staff and when I did I saw him watching me. He was just standing in the corner of my room, just watching. He did not say anything to me, just watched. When I saw him he didn't seem to care, as if he wanted me to see him. I think i'm losing my mind. This staff there's something strange about it, I'm not sure what it is though. I just hope it's safe to have around, and the man I can't get his face out of my head. His smirk and his white hair, He had a strange suit. It was like nothing I had ever seen. It was made of purple and red cloth that separated his left from his right. I'm not sure what he wanted but when I tried to speak to him he just faded away, in to going to head to sleep but when I wake up im taking this staff and throwing it in the Sea of Ghost I don't like what its doing to me or what it did to Echo.
6th of Morning Star
I don't know where it is! I told the voice that I can't find the staff. I keep hearing this voice in my head and it swells in pain every time the voice speaks. I don't know what's happening but I can't find the staff. And the man I saw again was sitting at my kitchen table and laughing at me searching for the staff. I don't like him. He's very unsettling, he never talks to me, he only laughs and watches me. I feel like he's watching me right now actually. Let me check, yes he's watching me write in my journal, I don't know why but he's just sitting here watching me. I hope he doesn't mean to harm me but he's a bit creepy incase I havent made that clear already. I'm going to try and get some sleep and hopefully this is all just a dream goodnight.

He spoke, he spoke to me! He called me his campion, in my dreams! He was waiting for me in my sleep, I think I think I like him now, he's nice, he's funny, he tells jokes. He said he's my friend, I like having friends. My friends are nice. He said he wants me to come home with him, but his home isn't on Nirn, he said? That doesn't make any sense. He said his name was Sheogorath, but I can just call him Sheo at least that's what he told me. I want to go to his home. I really do! I want to see my friend and make more friends! He said I need to hurt myself to get to his home though he said I need to hurt myself a lot, and that I need to hurt myself badly. I need to sleep on it but I think i'm going to want to see my friend and make new friends!
8th of Morning Star
Yes! Today is the day today I go to Shoes home! I'm going to make so many new friends and have so much fun! Sheo says I need to hurt myself badly tonight or I can't see his home so I'm going to. I can't wait to see it and see my new friends! I have my dagger ready and I'm just waiting for Sheo to tell me he's ready to go! Until then I'll just wait and sharpen the dagger and draw pictures!
Sheo said it's time! I'm so excited, I'm going to meet new people and make new friends! It's just too bad I have to leave my old friends. But at least I have Sheo to help me make new friends. He says i'll fit in perfectly! So this is goodbye, I hope whoever sees this will come and see me soon! Or maybe not these are pretty much just the scribbles of a madman. But anyways I have friends to meet see ya!
