Malakesh..

Yet another gate was being opened last night. I spotted the one opening the gate and went to intercept him. Though I did not get a good look at his/her face, they were more skilled than I and had stolen Malakesh’s ring of keys for the gates. How they managed to do that is a feat in itself and speaks a lot for their power. I at least managed to swipe the keys from the person, but they got away… I should have chased after them, but I was more concerned with closing the gate. In the attempt to do so, I was injured. My entire right arm has turned a solid, crispy black from the energy-rebound and I was unable to chase after them.

In my moment of weakness, Dark One (or at least, it looked, sounded, and acted like Dark One so that has yet to be determined if it really was or if he managed to somehow split himself or if it was a false entity doing a damn good job of imitating him) appeared and claimed he would bind me to him and force me to return to Patrick…or he would obliterate me. Malakesh showed up out of nowhere to defend me and Dark One repeated his intentions. They were about to fight when Balthazaar also showed up (out of nowhere!) and carried me back to my body. Gabe was going through a bunch of potions and crap when she saw my arm, even went through her crystals. Outside, Kesh and Dark One began to fight. And I don’t mean punching, I mean using spells of hell like I’ve never seen.

Me being foolish as I always am, I could not let Kesh get hurt and I left again. This time, I used my Doralen Card, The Ward, to protect the vicinity and contain the battle. It didn’t work too well because it began to faulter as soon as it disappeared from trying to contain such massive amounts of power. I entered and put up a barrier that made them stop for at least a few seconds. Kesh protected me, Dark One hit him in the back, and knocked him away from me. I was going to defend Kesh and went into Hellguard mode, but Dark One used spells against me I hadn’t been prepared for… and then he started talking about how he would slowly rip apart my world and that I couldn’t protect all of them. He went so far as to speak about Ryan and how Alix would take over him and kill Malakesh and were I to defend Kesh, I would obliterate Ryan in the process. The whole time he was talking, he was firing energy at me, using spells that put me in a lot of pain.. I wasn’t powerful enough to defend myself, even in Hellguard form. Trust me, he commented on that, too.. how pathetic it was that I couldn’t remember anything or that I couldn’t even remember my own abilities..

He was about to seriously injure me and I think bind me to him when Kesh hit him and knocked him back. Kesh looked over at me and handed me his ring of keys saying that the gates are my responsibility now. He opened a portal to some dimension and took Dark One in there with him. The portal closed and I was just… I didn’t know what to do or how to feel. I’m still in shock at last night’s events. Malakesh can’t get out of that dimension unless I open the gate back and I started to try to do it right then, but Balthazaar arrived at that moment and told me I’d had enough injury for one night (referring to my earlier attempt and my arm). We just sat there and stared at where the gate had been…

Balthazaar says that even if I wanted to open the gate right now, it probably wouldn’t be a good idea… Malakesh took Dark One to that dimension to fight him, to protect all of us. Not just me, but he knew that dark One meant everything he said about killing everyone around me. He could obliterate us all. From what Balthazaar told me, it will be years before we see Kesh again…and that’s IF Dark One doesn’t obliterate him. I hate to say this, but from last night’s battle, I honestly believe that Dark One is equivalent in power to Malakesh.

Balthazaar finally took me back to my body and as I was going to sleep, he used a demonic spell to lessen the damage. I can use my arm physically, but the Water gauntlet had to be removed and I can’t use it non-physically for spells or battle. Not until he figures out how to fully fix it. It’s like I said before, though, I don’t know if that actually was Dark One, but there is no way that any entity with demonic energy like that could match Kesh in power while keeping up the appearance of Dark One, especially not with the hits he was taking. Even if Dark One found a way to split himself in two, he still wouldn’t have enough power to match Malakesh the way he did last night… but either way, Kesh is gone.. and I keep thinking that if I had been able to remember, if I had been able to figure out all of my abilities and been stronger, I could have protected him.

And we’re left with not only the problem of Alix, but also this new threat of this little snipe who keeps opening gates. I have the key ring still, but there are other ways to open the gates. I just… I don’t know what to think right now because I’m in so much shock. Malakesh is gone and I’m…I’m expected to keep up with all gates 24/7.. I can’t sense all over the world. I can’t tell if some prep-school teenage British boys or Saudi Arabian old men are opening a gate because they don’t know what they’re doing or they’re opening it just for fun. I can’t do this! I don’t know how he expects me to be able to do his job when he’s so powerful and free and all over the place and I’m just…I couldn’t even protect him in my ultimate form of Hellguard…

The Cities and Marketplaces

There are 5 major cities within the supernatural realm and lots of marketplaces. I’m not entirely sure where most of them are according to the actual world map, but I do know a couple of “real world” locations.

Agrodaniel – Elemental city. It’s considered “neutral” because elementals are (usually) considered neutral. However, there are a lot of dark and light energies going in and out of there as well.

Brendelien – Dark city. Only people who have dark energies are allowed to come here. People with light are expected to be either slaves, under orders, or be heavily escorted and even then, it’s iffy. Light energies are more often than not killed here just for stepping foot into the place.

Grovendel – Neutral city. There are several places to visit here and both light and dark signatures are welcome (though, it’s still advised that you watch your tongue, feet, and don’t eavesdrop; come escorted). The pet store here isn’t that great. Honestly, the man should be obliterated for the way he treats the creatures. There’s also a tavern, bookstore, male & female clothes’ shops, weapon shop, an apothecary, and lots more shopping to do.

Lytheanee – Probably one of the safer places to go if you’re a soul of light. Dark people aren’t welcome here, but there have been incidents. Nobody will kill anyone for coming here, though, but they can get thrown in jail if they disobey the laws.

Reagenne – Another neutral city, although this one is about as friendly as Grovendel. Take caution if you visit.

——————————————————

Rio de Janero – This is the only marketplace I can locate on the “real world” map. The place is crawling with hunters, blackmailers, and the like. A very dangerous group that no one should even approach. If you want the scummiest, most talented assassin or hunter, you’ll find him lurking here waiting for his services to be employed. It’s the best place to get information and the worst place to start tourism.

Assassination Attempt #8, Scars, and Traps

I had been so afraid of what would happen the next day. What if Alejandro Corvinus had found out that I had lied? Kesh and the others assured me they would be prepared, that he wouldn’t find out, that we were safe. I let it go, but it was still in the back of my mind. The day went smoothly. The night, not so much.

First, I walked and talked with Duvalean. Ox’s non-physical lycan brother, Sethean, runs a clan of wolves. We have a contract with them that they will provide us with protection when needed and in exchange, they have a base set up on our land. The clan isn’t a clan of lycans, but instead a clan of wolves. I’ll try to explain: in ancient times when William Corvinus was first bitten by a wolf, the werewolves only changed to wolf form and couldn’t change back. The Underworld series’ portrayal of lycanthropy and vampiricism were rather accurate. This clan that Sethean now leads is ancient: they cannot transform into lycans as Sethean, Ox, or modern-day lycans can, but only into wolves–a more animalistic, instinctive lot with less human traits than today’s lycans–and cannot change back. Technically, since it was Balthazaar and Ox who had taken out the leader of the clan, Ox was offered to take over as he was a lycan. Ox refused the offer and suggested Sethean who had very recently joined us as our ally at the time. Since then, Sethean has taken over the clan and run it well. Duvalean is an agile clan member whose life I saved in a fight against the vampires when Aro’s assassins had paid us a visit. He has a partner/mate, a very strong and talented clan member, but he has pledged a sort of devotion to protecting me as I am a “princess”. He is the most loyal to me and happens to be my best friend–other than the obvious Ox, Malakesh, Gab, Morgaea, and Balthazaar. He, and a handful of others, have been trying their hardest these past several months to convince the rest of the clan to trust me. The only reason they don’t is because I’m a vampire..

Anyway, Duvalean and I were walking around the driveway talking and having some fun joking. That’s when the two from last night showed up. I had been informed previously that they’d had nothing to do with Alejandro’s actions and I was able to identify them last night as messengers for the Kishimura clan. They had business to discuss with Ox and myself, not Sethean as I had momentarily assumed. About that time, Ox’s brother-in-law, Balindaga (Bal-in-day-ga) aka Max (short for Maximus), informed me that there was a storm in the distance (I could see lightning and I assumed it was the Shanxx Collective talking) that “wasn’t right”. I escorted the party, Duvalean included, in to the house to talk to Ox.

Max told him the storm “wasn’t right” and Ox had him keep an eye on it. Duvalean even said that he, and the clan, had been sensing something coming and going. The messengers said that Zie (Zee), a lycan assassin for the Volturii (the head lycan council and lycan version of the Vampiric Volturians), would be returning “soon” and needed to be hidden. Why? We don’t know. Ox had Duvalean fetch Sethean who dropped straight through the roof and surprised me when he did. Haha. Oxand Sethean agreed to hide Zie. It turns out, though, that the Kirishimura clan (the wandering clan that had been trying to invade Sethean’s land due to the warlock) was trying to join up with the Lanninthra clan, Zie’s clan. The “L” clan were currently based in the empty house on our land, the rent-house. Their leader is a very mouthy yet powerful female named Calinifra (Cal-in-if-ray). Duvalean and Sethean took care of what they needed to before Duvalean returned to go with me back outside.

Sadie, my dog, along with other dogs around started barking wildly. I sensed something as did Duvalean. I went back to the door and asked Ox what “soon” meant when the messengers said that Zie would be back soon; he said it could be a couple of days. I went back to Duvalean and told him that if Zie wasn’t due back for a couple of days, who could be on their way here? The L clan was getting anxious and it seemed so was Sethean’s clan.

For the past several days, at mom’s included, I kept hearing a word and a phrase. The word was “Moscow” coming from Balthazaar; apparently, someone important–an Angelic or Demonic of the Original 18)–was in Moscow. The phrase was “Montague is coming for you.” I had no idea who Montague was. Not until last night. Max said, “Montaee is coming for you.” (Mon-tay). According to Duvalean, Montaee and Montague are half-brothers. Montague is a vampire; Montaee, on the other hand, is a lycan. A lycan assassin. On our way back in to the house, I asked Duvalean why this Montee was coming here for me. He explained that he was hired by Daddy Von Hessial (Vannon and Val’s dad, the hunter from 800 years ago when Ox was murdered as a child) to assassinate me. I asked him why.

“You’re the one who will be carrying the twins,” he said. “It’ll be in a couple of months.”

I asked him, “How do you know that?”

“The ancient of our clan has been foreseeing it,” he answered.

Another question I asked was how come I haven’t been seeing them in my dreams and he said that the closer the time comes to me getting pregnant, the more dreams about the twins I will have. It turns out, surprisingly enough, that the dream I’d had that previous night was that I, a vampire, was one month pregnant by a lycan, Ox. Though, I was Sonya from Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and my father, Victor, had found out. In the dream, he thought I was pregnant by a vampire though and handed me a doll of the suspect. This vampire doll had platinum blond hair pulled back in a short ponytail and was dressed rather well like a lord of some sort, a noble. I don’t know who that vampire is because Brigantriad (Morgaea’s husband who murdered her), although platinum blond, doesn’t have long hair–at least, it’s not long enough to be put up in a ponytail.

Duvalean got me into the house and we explained what was going on, that Montee was coming to assassinate me. Calinifra came in with some attitude, she was pissy about something. Duvalean went to fetch Sethean because she refused to listen to someone who wasn’t the “leader of the clan” and not only got into Sethean’s face, but also Ox’s. They all started to bicker about her “taking orders” and while that was going on, Montee showed up. Fired a spike that barely missed me right into our house and it instead hit the wall. Kesh planned to go out there, but I insisted I come. He would agree on one condition: I had to stay behind Calinifra and Sethean. That was awkward because they’re so much bigger than me. I got to sit on the trunk of our car while I talked to Duvalean and watched Montague get ripped to pieces. Kesh came back with a claw and said that he wouldn’t have killed him if the guy hadn’t been so persistent. Figuring it was personal, I asked Kesh why he wanted to kill me so bad.

“It seems he’s more afraid of who hired him than he is of me, which is strange.”

He gave me the claw and a new blade. The blade that Balthazaar gave me to get rid of Alejandro Corvinus in my dreams (the night Kesh told me how) is a beautiful blade. It’s called the Black Rose Dagger. On the one Kesh gave me, I had to push a button on the edge of the hilt for the blade to pop out. It’s the twin to the Black Rose Dagger, called the Black Thorn Blade. I put Montee’s claw on a necklace around my neck and put the Black Thorn Blade away. Kesh left and we hoped that would be the end of the night’s fiasco. Sad to say, it wasn’t.

When we got back into the house, I looked down at my arm. I think my “sight” is definitely improving because I saw a scar clearly visible on my arm in a place that I’d never injured myself before. It didn’t even look much like a physical scar at all. I checked in the mirror and believe it or not, I could see the scar on my cheek that the fight against the warlock had given me. I even checked the scar where Destromada had put a hole in my chest, but I couldn’t see it. Not physically.

All day, I’d been having headaches. First was a powerful migraine that I thought was due to the sun. It came around 4 PM, I took 3 Tylenol, and laid down in our semi-dark bedroom listening to music. I fell asleep. Later that night, I got another headache around 10 PM and again around 12 AM. This time, I took 2 Tylenol to get rid of it. When we got back in to the house, I was feeling sick to my stomach, too. Valik did a “full system check” on me, basically sensing anything that might be harmful to me. Gab wasn’t available, but Balthazaar was. He helped out..I think. Valik said that I basically looked like a porcupine with as many senbon (or throwing needles) that I had stuck in me. Someone had managed to attack me so many times and yet I, nor any of my Givens, felt anything at all which is odd because we usually do. Valik demanded Gab, who has been uber-crabby since yesterday, come out to finish up and get what he couldn’t. She pulled out some that he couldn’t sense and checked me. She said Maladon had to help me because it seemed that I had a fever and a poison in me that only he could cure. She went back to her room, strange for her, and let Maladon handle it.

As he tried to get my mind to relax, I saw an image of Destromada. I panicked and started telling him he was outside, he was here. Maladon got rid of the poisons in my stomach, cleared my fever in a matter of minutes, and despite my warnings that it could be a trap for him, he was out the door to take care of him. Vallen and Jack, my Guardians, were left in the dark room with me as I was weakened. I sensed something in the darkness; a big something. A big, familiar, creepy someone.

Alejandro Corvinus stepped out of the shadows. It had been a trap, not for Maladon, but for me. Vallen stepped in his way and as a result was stabbed in the chest and knocked out of the way. I was too weak to do anything and I couldn’t scream or I’d frighten my sleeping kids. He brought out a Soul Eater.

That’s what one looks like: the thing on her shoulder. They eat souls. The phrase “into the belly of the beast” is true only for a Soul Eater. A soul eaten by a Soul Eater can never return; it is neither destroyed nor alive. It is simply eradicated from existence. Malakesh had once almost felt love before the laws of love concerning the Original 9 were put into place; it was because of this and Balthazaar’s actions from a love destroyed that the laws were put up. Malakesh was in love with a woman just like me named Shannon (ironically) whose soul was eaten by a Soul Eater set loose on her by her own father. The Dark Ages were the result of Kesh losing her. He will never love again, not even me…

I didn’t want to put Kesh through that again and I didn’t want to put Ox nor Balthazaar through it. Alejandro did find out that I had lied to him and insisted he tell me where Zen and Lin were. Balthazaar kept saying “Moscow, Moscow” as he had been doing for the past several days. I told him to shut up, but Alejandro, overhearing me tell Balthazaar to hush when he said “Moscow” jumped to the conclusion that Moscow was where they were. He set loose the Soul Eater anyway. Jack stabbed him in the back with his light sword and Alejandro turned to stab Jack back. I swatted the Soul Eater away and was met by a large, rough hand on my neck. Alejandro was trying to either choke me or hold me down so that the Soul Eater could do its job. I immediately pulled out the Black Thorn Blade and stabbed it into his arm. He let go, I swatted the Soul Eater away again, jerked out the Black Rose Dagger and slashed as Kesh had told me to: across the eyes, from the chin up to his forehead to make a cross and stabbed the blade through his head just above his ear. He screamed and I thought he would have exploded, but I took off running with the Black Rose Dagger in hand. Though, I did stupidly leave the Black Thorn Blade in his arm to let the poisons seep in; I didn’t take it with me so he has it.

I ran as fast as I could into the game room and saw Maladon. Seconds after I stopped, I was choking and trying to catch my breath. He took me down the hall towards the master bedroom and set me against the wall while he took care of the Soul Eater. By the time he returned, I was hysterically crying because of Jack and Vallen and what I’d been afraid of. I stayed on the couch and when I woke up, Jack was using Ox’s body to talk to me. He said they were both okay and that I had nothing to worry about. They, along with Ox’s guardians of Belik, Dralik, and Bralik, had sealed up the house so that nothing could get in no matter what it was. I couldn’t sleep, but I laid in bed until Balthazaar took over.

In his sleep, Ox’s claws dug into my body’s arm. He was having a recurring nightmare again. Balthazaar blocked his claws, took the energy that was in my arm, and fashioned it into a blade. A black blade with gold filigree in the handle. At the tip, he started to make a second smaller blade, but broke it off and instead took Montee’s claw and settled it into the tip of the butt of the hilt. He gave this blade to Ox, let me back out when my body was tired enough to sleep on its own, and I dreamed of vampires. Balthazaar assures me that if Montague, Montee’s vampiric brother, comes to kill me, he will make a twin blade to Ox’s for me with Montague’s vampiric fang.

I am terrified of what Alejandro has in store for me when he returns from Moscow–if he even goes before he gets revenge. He’s furious…and now he had the Black Thorn Blade. But it was a gift from Kesh and I have every intention of getting it back from Alejandro. I’m just worried about Ox and his Givens… What if Alejandro uses them to get to me? He’d said that night he’d possessed Ox that I was “too easy” because I would give anything to protect Ox. What if Kesh can’t protect him this time? I’m so afraid..

Possession – July 15th

Alejandro paid us a visit the other night (July 15th). We were playing around outside, Ox and I, when I suddenly began to see something. A literal something. It was like seeing smoke or transparent liquid moving around – I think my “sight” of the supernatural is getting better. I couldn’t identify who it was at the time, but there were two. They seemed friendly enough, but I had my guard up. Unfortunately, my guard was misplaced. Ox started saying “Egrai, egrai” which meant “run” or “go away” in Elvish. He was acting funny and every couple of seconds, he’d grip me roughly. I was worried that something was happening–that the two I saw were doing something to him, but I started to go back in the house like he told me to. I stopped and came back and when I did, I faced my worst fear.

Alejandro Corvinus had managed to not only take over Ox’s body, but also to keep Kesh, Don, and Valik all from pushing him out. He came closer and I was cautious of the other two, still unable to tell which side they were on, and when it was revealed that he was Alejandro, I freaked. He reached for me running his hands down my arm, on my shoulder, through a string of my hair. Do you know how freaky it is to have some 1,000 year old immortal that looks like an ugly, scarred version of Sean Connery doing that to you? EW! I freaked out. He sat calmly in his chair and I finally asked him what he wanted. He wanted information on the Demonics I knew. It seems he’s aware that I have Balthazaar, he knows Ox has Kesh, and he knows I recently started speaking to Devastation–another of the Original 9 who was at Ox’s mom’s house as a sort of guardian for Pop this whole time. He’s very easy to talk to and looks almost just like Kesh but with black hair.

What Alejandro wanted to know was about the Amulet of the Fallen Sun. I told him I had it and he had possessed the wrong body. I don’t know if he believed me, but he changed the subject and said he’d rather know about Zenthroth and Lin, two of the Original 9 Demonics who had chased Balthazaar to us that night: the night that I had him sealed away within me. I considered every possibility. I couldn’t fight Alejandro; I couldn’t hurt him because he was in Ox’s body and I couldn’t destroy him anyway. He’s immortal and I’m…untrained and was unprepared. I got lucky in my dream when I burned him. He seemed to think of that as a battle. I promise: it won’t be the last. Fighting him at that point wasn’t an option, I didn’t know any spells that Kesh wouldn’t already know, and I couldn’t negate him out of Ox as I had done to Gab’s ex-husband warlock who had taken him over. We’d had a plan then. This time, there wasn’t a plan. I also considered what he would do if I didn’t give up the information. It was like I had to choose between saving humanity or saving Ox. Even if I had told him about Zen and Lin, he might have hurt Ox anyway.

The longer I went through my options, the more impatient he grew. Finally, he stuck what is called a Shadow Spike into him. The heart of his soul. The longer I took to answer, the bigger the hole got. I finally lied, asking him why he thought I had seen Zen or Lin.

“Because they were chasing him,” he told me.

I simply told him they must have lost him because when he got here, he was alone. I kept my cool in lying. People say I’m a bad liar, but only when it’s about something small like a joke of taking someone’s pencil. When it really matters, when it truly depends on it, I can lie. Anyone will believe me. He did. He left, not bothering to mend the hole. I healed him and…before I knew what was happening, I went into rage mode. I blacked out. I don’t remember what happened exactly, but Gab says that Balthazaar and I were trying to destroy each other because we blamed one another for what happened. I don’t remember until Maladon and I had a talk and he said that Alejandro had been planning on hurting Ox anyways; I had done the right thing by lying.

Persistence

First off, I would like to say that Harbingers aren’t just persistent – they’re stubborn! I’ll brief you readers with a quick summary of events according to the dates.

July 11th. I walk outside for a bit of fresh air. Harbingers arrive under the thick shadows of the Mamossa tree in our front yard: Greed and Famine. They start telling me they want to talk to Maladon, the Harbinger of Pain. I insist that he’s not at our house and they bring his brother, Destromada (Destruction), into the scene. I go to get Maladon, he says to go away and wants no part in their plan, they insist, he brings out Malakesh – the Original 9 Demonic of War. He goes full form and demands that they leave. Oh, did I mention that they had the Dos Domientes (Being of Light) of Peace with them?

Anna-what’s-her-face shows up not ten minutes later. Y’know, Valik’s opposite? The master puppeteer in all of this? She demands he go full form to see her. I freaked out…a lot. I don’t usually “see” Valik in full form and the wings (non-physical; you don’t see with your eyes as much as you do with your “third eye” or, in normal terms, “imagination”) caught me off guard. The sky breathing thing that freaked us out? Yeah, that was the Creator. He was monitoring the conversation between Anna and Valik to make sure there wouldn’t be a fight. Valik told her to leave and it was only when Sethean (Ox’s lycan “brother”; non-physical) arrived that she left.

Fifteen minutes after that, Ox was severely weakened physically because of the enormous amount of energy that was used for Kesh and Valik to go full-form. A wandering (non-physical) lycan clan called the Kishimir clan arrive…with a warlock. This warlock was the brother of my Given, Gab’s, now deceased husband. He was commanding the lycan clan to invade upon Sethean’s territory. A messenger of Sethean’s was killed and Ox demanded in fair payment that the Kishimir clan could leave if they handed over the warlock. He tried to teleport, I negated the ability and blocked him, and they gave him up quickly. I fought him, won a couple of scars in the battle, and ultimately…well, he’s fully destroyed. Death by Elvish-spell vortex + combustion. He won’t come back from that. I got a non-physical scaaarrr. Yay! ❤

Maladon got drunk from seeing his brother and both Morgaea and I lectured him for it because we admire him (she loves him, duh) and we don’t like to see him like that. There was a sudden pain in Ox’s body shortly after he switched back he asked Balthazaar to identify a “seal” on his hand that burned. It was a timer sent by Anna-what’s-her-face herself that would swallow his life at the allotted time unless we handed over Maladon. Thankfully, Balthazaar removed it completely.

Oh, yeah. I thought it was over with.  Then we went to bed. In a half-asleep state, Destromada disobeyed Kesh’s orders and slipped into my mind. I guess you could call it possession, but not really. Within my mind, he tried to throw me around and hurt me to get me to call out for Maladon. I refused. He seemed to think that I was the one Maladon was in love with so he thought he could get me to scream out for him, lure him out if you will. I didn’t. I refused. Balthazaar almost went haywire and Gab and I both tried to scare him away with light–he hates light. It failed. He would simply back away and fight through the light to get to me. Finally, after my “last chance” of calling for Maladon that I deliberately outright refused him, he stabbed me with one of his claws in my chest. A poisonous large hole in my chest that only Maladon could cure.  He also marked my hand with the same seal as Anna’s to ensure that my life was forfeit if Maladon wasn’t surrendered. Balthazaar banished him from my mind and body and I woke up calling for Kesh or Valik. Kesh answered, drew out the poison (by no means was it pleasant or easy), and removed the marker.

The next morning, July 12th, Valik tended to me. He sealed up the wound with a (again, non-physical) piece of Ox’s “skin” to cover my hole and heal it. We were planning on going to Nene’s, Ox’s mom’s house, that day. It was a Monday to watch wrestling. The fact that the house managed to get its electricity cut off that same day was rather ironically coincidental, I think. As I was getting dressed, one of my Guardians, the lycan Vallen, stated that he would be going with me. I argued and he flat out said, “You got a hole in your chest trying to be brave. I’m not letting it happen again.” I allowed him to come along and as we started to load up the car, another Guardian, the warrior Jack, arrived and stated he also was going with me. We managed to piss each other off because I thought it was ridiculous that they were “paranoid” that I needed so much protection and he thought I was being foolish by thinking I could handle things on my own.

Ox sent the Guardians ahead to Nene’s house while we made a quick trip into town. While waiting for him to buy drinks in a convenient store, we sat in the car and sensed Destromada only 100 ft away searching. Not for us, for someone else. Likely other Harbingers or more Dos Domientes (Being of Light). I hid our energy signature. I suppose he thought Maladon was in the bag because he was cocky enough to believe the marker was still on me and that I was dying. Fail. We went straight to Nene’s house after that and several minutes afterward, I went outside to talk to Jack. We managed to piss each other off even more. He walked off and I went after him, sensing that something was wrong. Vallen came with me and behind Pop’s shop, Jack was severely injured–almost dead–from Destromada. I was infuriated, but Ox got me back in the house and Vallen got Jack back to our house to heal him.

That night, we went home to see if our kids could withstand sleeping without A/C. It was too hot in the house so we had no choice. We had to return to Nene’s house for the night. Destromada, as we were leaving, appeared under the Mamossa tree again. He didn’t have Greed, Famine, or Peace with him. He again demanded Maladon and this time, I had Balthazaar create a clone to “escort” Destromada to the corner where Ox and I used to walk every night around Nene’s house. We went over there and after the kids went to sleep met Destromada. This time, Valik talked to him. It wasn’t pleasant.

Greed tried to attack Valik from behind, but I created a barrier and stood back to back with the angelic to protect him. I fought Greed–holding back, of course, because the destruction of a single Harbinger, Demonic, Dos Domientes, or Angelic could upset The Balance–and we chased them off. We told Peace to get away from them: it wasn’t a good idea. On our way back, Alejandro Corvinus made an appearance. Valik had me charge up some arrows with light energy and fired them, also scaring him off.

Later that night, around 3 AM or so, Ox and I got into an argument. I turned over and enraged by what was said, I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. Accidentally, I astral projected to a place I didn’t recognize. There was land burning for miles, fresh embers all over the place and small fires still going, as if war had just come through where I was. There, I met Anna-what’s-her-face. Her and I had a talk. I tried to reason with her on why she had to destroy the world and she tried to reason with me as to why not. I can’t remember what was said, but she made me lose myself for a moment and I attacked her, rolled with her, and pinned the ultimate demonic down by her neck. She laughed and told me to kill her. I refused and she took advantage, pinning me this time. Again, she said something I can’t remember, and I “woke up” after Valik tried shaking me to get me to listen to him. I was crying. He and I had a discussion about the cruelty of humans, the justice to stop it, and everything until 5 or 6 AM. I finally fell asleep.

Mysteries Revealed

We’ve had a pretty quiet week. Not much to write about and when I thought about it, I ended up busy.

Somewhere around July 3rd or 4th, I had a dream about a man. An old man with a scar on one side of his face and his opposing eye wasn’t…right, you could say. He tried to kill me in the dream–for whatever reason–and I ended up stabbing him, chopping him into little bitty pieces, and setting them on fire. When I turned around, he was standing there with a smile on his face without a scratch. In the dream, he was a Satanist and it made him immortal. Back and forth we went with him trying to kill me until I finally woke up freaking out.

I told Malakesh about the dream a couple nights later. The man is in fact real and he is immortal and thankfully he doesn’t have a physical form (thank goodness). He isn’t a Satanist, either, but he is extremely dark and powerful. His name is Alejandro Corvinus, the half-brother of Alexander Corvinus. Let’s just say that the movie Underworld caught a lucky break with their lore about the immortal and his two sons – one bitten by bat, the other by wolf.

Alejandro, on the other hand, is the stain upon the family. Kesh told me how to keep him away from me and I was prepared to do so, but he didn’t come back. Kesh’s suspicions about who has been behind all of the messages and trying to gather everyone together became clear: Valik’s opposite, Anna-what’s-her-face, the original Demonic created by the Creator for that 5 minutes “pre-Kesh”.

In an earlier post, I detailed the energy signatures taken from the Harbinger of Destruction: ours because we were retrieving it and two unknowns. The two unknowns were, in fact, Vaneeshstal’s and one other: Anna-what’s-her-face. She is the master puppeteer behind this whole set-up with the messages and the calls for gatherings. The reason his suspicions were further confirmed, he explained, was because Alejandro is a co-worker or partner to the original demon. I wasn’t the only one he visited in dreams, Kesh said: other people were seeing him in their dreams as well because no one has been answering the messages. Alejandro was sent as a sort of threat to tell them “answer or else”.

He finally came back, actually. Last night, but it wasn’t in my dreams. Earlier  word use of “puppeteer” is ironic considering that’s exactly what happened last night. We were trying to go to sleep and Ox snuggled up to me saying something about a dream of a black storm. “No lightning, just strong winds, rain, sleet, and hail. Black clouds for miles upon miles.” That was his description. Feeling somewhat off, I wanted to be near Valik because his light was like mine: pure and radiant. I wanted to be near that light so I requested his presence while Ox slept.

Ox’s arm started flopping around on me like crazy like it was looking for something, as if someone was controlling it. Valik put a shield on his other arm and I traced the energy strings (one can think of them as chakra strings like in the anime Naruto) to a group of three, but Valik only managed to identify two. One of the Dos Domientest of Peace with the Harbinger of Greed. I was ready to yank them over and take them on, but Valik decided to talk to them through the strings. They were looking for Maladon. Again. The question is: why would one of the Beings of Light be teamed up with a Harbinger? They don’t get along. At all. Valik had me to cut their strings and we thought it was over with. We were wrong.

The arm started flopping around again. This time, the strings made me sick to my stomach. It was a very dark energy, not demonic, but about as dark as the Original 9 because only entities of that magnitude of darkness make me ill. Valik asked for Balthazaar, I obliged, and Balthazaar traced the string. Alejandro was playing around with the arm this time. What he was looking for, we’ve no idea and didn’t feel like asking him. Balthazaar also detected a second pair of strings and a shadowed string. There were four in a group this time: Peace, Greed and the Harbingers of Famine and Destruction, who had his own black string shadowed by the other three. Valik said that I must have done a great job in hiding Lestraido because no one could sense her during all of this. I felt proud.

Balthazaar switched back to me and I got to deal with Alejandro through Valik’s instructions. I was to imagine the image of what Kesh told me to do to Alejandro in my mind and combine it with energy. Think of it as a powerful picture. I sent the image through the strings to Alejandro and once he got it, Valik gave me a spell. It’s called the Stone Barrier Spell. What happens, essentially, is a person uses this spell to lock their opponent up in an earth dome thick enough that they can’t simply bust through. The more energy one puts into it, the thicker the dome. After the incantation, I snipped the chakra strings from all of them and a shield was put up on the arms.

Alejandro apparently got mad because he sent a huge, dark golem towards us. Valik and I prevented it from coming any further than a couple of miles long enough that Alejandro ran out of energy and the thing went POOF! I slept well enough except for my half-dream that I was at a house I shouldn’t have been in Hillsboro (Billy’s house where I first met Balthazaar) and Alejandro showed up there trying to scare me. I think at that point I fell completely asleep and he didn’t bother me at all.

Tonight, I’m anxious to see if he’ll come back at all. I’m still curious as to who sent gel-like entities that were shooting poisonous darts and spikes at us the past several nights. I think it was July 7th and 8th? Not sure. Days are turning to minutes again. I hate that.

Wish Upon a Falling…Amulet?!

Yeah. Almost literally “falling Amulet”. We went outside after laying the kids down last night to stare at the stars. I’ve been seeing things like figures moving and as of yesterday afternoon, I was able to actually see my Givens perfectly! Well, I was able to see Gab, Balthazaar, Yuuko, and partially Morgaea; Lestraido’s true form remains a mystery to me. I know: how can you not know what entities in your head looks like? Simple. You can’t see them unless (this is going to sound corny, yes, but very true) your “third eye” is capable of seeing.

Anyway, we were looking at the stars and I saw 3 stars in a triangle. I thought, “That looks strange.” but like it was a sign. Don’t ask why, it just had an energy signature. Okay, well, as if I haven’t sounded “crazy” or like a “nut job” in my last several posts, I think this one might be the kicker: I absorbed that energy signature straight into my third eye. Note to self (and everyone else): do NOT allow unknown energies to enter your body. It can be dangerous! Word to the people who don’t know about this stuff from a fool: don’t do it. Ever.

The consequence of me doing that was disastrous. Call it “ridiculous” if you must, but what happened was that I started feeling…funny. Dreamy, relaxed, and yet exhausted all at the same time. My body began to feel ill and Gab started noticing that whatever came into me was harmful so she had me send it back. I did, but almost as soon as the energy left my body, I fell unconscious. Moments before I sent it back, Ox went back inside leaving me alone. Gab got pissed and once I went unconscious, she had to take over my body. The energy-regenerating witch could barely lift my body no matter how much energy she put into it. We went inside, she sat down, Ox was sitting there drinking milk the whole time, and she started freaking out thinking I was going to die. My body was trying to shut down and Balthazaar immediately started drinking.

You’re probably wondering why Ox, my true love, was just sitting there while I was fully unconscious and Gab was crying and hysterically pacing around my mind. Oh, trust me, by the time he came in there, Gab snapped at him. He told her he was sending Valik over, she said no, he threatened her, she said to go ahead, he threatened her a little more, she dared him again, and they went back and forth for a good…ten minutes, I think. Finally, Valik went back into his body, she explained to to him, and together they were able to pull me out of it. When they did, Valik found a (non-physical) amulet called “The Amulet of the Crystal Sun”.

The reason, as was explained to Gab, that Ox didn’t come right away and was just sitting there drinking his milk was because…Vaneeshstal, the entity that possessed Francis Pierre in 1945, had possessed his body. Malakesh, Malachi, and Maladon had him bound up and were holding him. When Vaneeshstal finds a host, he takes his true form and is capable of speaking English. Malakesh used a binding curse to keep him under control. In order to restore energy to me and my body, Gab had to take it from Vaneeshstal. She was giggling and laughing because the whole time he was out, he was trying to play with her mind and it doesn’t work on Gab. At all. Plus, he was speaking in Demonic and she can’t understand Demonic; he can’t speak English, either, because Ox wasn’t his full host. She managed to get a lot of energy from him and he kept wanting me out, but she had to get the translation from Balthazaar that said “girl asleep/unconscious” ’cause kept saying “ethra, ethra” (“girl, girl”). Halfway through all of this miscommunication, he was able to unbind the spell Kesh had put on him and grabbed Gab’s throat to hurt her (epic fail). She called for Kesh, Kesh rebound him and they threw him into a padded room in Ox’s mind.

I got enough energy that later on I was able to stay awake for a little while, but he had Balthazaar take over and put me in bed. Everything was explained to me shortly before going to bed as well as what happened: Vaneeshstal had found the amulet, was planning to use it as a horcrux, saw an opening, put it in me, possessed Ox thinking I’d hand over the amulet, and I’m not sure what his plan was after that. Whatever it was, it didn’t work.

So, here we are: I’m doing a lot better (even though I didn’t get sleep for crap last night and I’m STILL tired), Ox is going to play host to Vaneeshstal so he won’t find a weak-minded host and slaughter people, and Valik has the amulet.

Hidden Messages – July 1st

Yesterday afternoon, I posted saying that I would find out the missing ? words from the Elvish prophecy that I had translated from Kesh. I forgot: Kesh doesn’t read Elvish. Valik, Ox’s Given, does because he’s an Angelic. What happened yesterday afternoon deserves an entire post of its own because of all the goody information I found out.

All of this started when I told Ox I needed him to translate the missing ? words from the Elvish prophecy and without warning me, he switched to Valik. Valik took a look at it, I explained that Gab translated it and The Oracle had finished it out. He started correcting certain things about it, I asked how he knew all of this, and he told me flat out “because these markings are on my body”. Gab went red as a rose at the thought of his body; I knew she had a thing for him. Haha. Anyway, Valik wanted to talk to the Oracle so I reluctantly obliged and since The Oracle is made up of half myself and half Gab, I was slightly aware of what was going on and being said.

A whole background story was revealed during their little talk. You remember the other prophecy that was mixed? The Demonic, Elvish, & Draconic symbols? It said something about “Pre-Kesh” and we were told “there was no pre-Kesh” but there was a “pre-War”? We were told wrong. Valik told me the whole thing: there was a pre-Kesh and a time before the creation of the Original 18…a whole five minutes. The Creator created 3 beings: 1 male Angelic, 1 female Demonic, and a Seer…The Oracle. She was not given the ability to create, only to foretell. If someone was to have the ability to foretell the future and create something, what do you think they would create? A way to stop it – thus contradicting all history, present, and future. So only the demonic, An-something, and the angelic, Valik, were given the ability to “create” and they were allowed to create a companion for themselves; not a mate, not an enemy – a companion.

Valik chose to give his companion neutrality so that it could choose to be light, dark, or remain neutral. An-whatever created…Vaneeshstal. Anyway, the Oracle (I think before the creation of the companions) created a couple of prophecies. One was marked onto Valik’s tan body. It looks like glowing, sky-blue ink in weird symbols. The other had to be burned onto the Demonic’s skin. You know what a piece of metal, especially a fire poker, looks like when it’s real hot? That bright, orange color that burns? That’s what hers look like; they glow fire orange on her black skin. I think her skin is black.

So, Valik and the Oracle – going through all of the messages we’ve received – retranslated the Elvish prophecy that is marked on Valik’s body.

“Bring to light those who pass from winds of change. Bound by duty of clouded judgment. Bright is the sun cast upon glory from the shame of the guilds those who choose. The keys to the door ungranted shall be the wish of the pure-hearted. Gather forth allies for war brews and blood shall spill. For Earth’s battles cannot win for the warriors are not light. ‘Bound by the powers of light for all that shall come.'”

As it turns out, though, I’ve been getting a “hidden message” with certain Elvish symbols from the mixed message and the Elvish prophecy. This message said:

“In from this will gathered for those who pass it. For winds of change shall cast upon glory. Those who choose shall be granted will be the wish of the pure of soul. Given upon shall be the keys to the door/doors.”

Unfortunately, Valik and I ended up getting into an argument so he never had time to explain to me what it meant. There you have it. A message within messages, a new bit of information to chew on, and boy oh boy did we have fun last night with some of this new information. Next post will be last night’s adventure.

June 29th – Ancient Message-Translation Day?

Because I was so busy the last few days, I’m having to play catch-up. We’ll take it day-by-day, okay?

Shortly after going to bed (after I posted the blog, even) 2 messages came to my mind. One was in symbols, the other – surprisingly – in words. Silly words you may think, but words nevertheless. They weren’t English so I had to have Ox translate them (again) that afternoon. He took a look at both messages and what was strange was that the message in symbols I received were mixed languages of Demonic, Draconic, and Elvish. Didn’t I tell you it was rare to mix Draconic and Demonic? We figured more than us must be getting these messages because they’re in all 3 languages. Some entities, like Angelics, only speak Elvish, Demons and dark entities only speak Demonic, and I’m not entirely sure who speaks Draconic but I’m sure someone does otherwise the language wouldn’t still be used…in the supernatural realm, of course.

Here’s a picture of the message I got – the lower symbols are from Kesh/Ox translating the Draconic and Elvish symbols to Demonic.

As you can see, the symbols look a little different – but not much. As I said in an earlier post, sometimes it’s hard to decipher which language is which. Good thing I have Kesh. I thought I was writing it all in Demonic when I was writing it down. Lol!

The symbols translated to English say “Prime of man/dawn of time and space/moving planets/value of life/shining god” and it doesn’t make sense. The words I got help it out greatly:

“Traeilkumar furtaneil gereglison thiablormov diasentiel preKeshilve brimaonark contisiabro”

Translated to English, it says:

“There are none/in future/going in/the past/different time/pre-Kesh war/by moving/constellations”

Sounds dumb, too, doesn’t it?  The reason Kesh is struck out is because it didn’t make sense. Pre-Kesh would mean “before the creation of Malakesh” which makes no sense because there was nothing before Malakesh. All of the Original 18 (Angelics & Demonics) were created at the dawn of time – at the very beginning. The word “Kesh” has a different meaning, the reason he was named Malakesh: he is the Demon of War. So, it makes more sense of it to mean “pre-war”.

Several weeks ago, Ox and I were reading fortunes because I had questions. The future didn’t seem to make sense to him and as I was reading it, I started to feel light of weight. Not really passed out, but…different. It seems Gab and I can “fuse” together to create an entity named Oricalcos or “The Oracle” because of our pure lights and “Seer” capabilities. The Oracle was able to read the fortune and show him a brighter outlook on his fortune.

While Kesh was able to put the two messages together Monday afternoon to piece together a confusing prophecy that had been incomplete for nearly 3,000 years, the Oracle was able to make sense of the prophecy and finish it – something, according to Kesh, many have attempted to do and failed at.

The prophecy (when mixing the two messages together and with the Oracle’s verses) reads as follows:

“There are none/in future/prime of man/[value of life]//going in/the past/dawn of time and space/moving planets/different time/pre-war//value of life/by moving constellations/[the]Shining God/heart above sight/knowledge below wisdom/visions of present/war & revolution/Rebirth or Despair”

Don’t freak. The reason there is [value of life] read like that is because the Oracle explained that the “value of life” line can be in two different places; it’s a key factor in the prophecy. “There are none in future/prime of man [value of life]” is describing the current situation. “There are none in future” meaning there are none now or in the future who will appreciate the “value of life”. Prime of man could refer to the beginning of man OR, as she prefers to see it, the innocence of children and understanding. Understanding and Innocence are the “prime of man” because before people are “men” or “women”, they’re children full of innocence and understand that life has more value than anything else.

“Going in the past/dawn of time and space/moving planets/different time/pre-war” is very simple: going back in time to the “dawn of time and space” will  move the planets. Take one of those objects, for instance, that has a bunch of rotating planets. If you go back in time, you’re moving the planets backwards to “a different time”. The prophecy says “pre-war” but which war we’re uncertain. There were hundreds of wars and hardly any of them were insignificant.

“Value of life/by moving constellations” means that going back in time will return someone (or a lot of people) to the time when man understood the value of life. “[The] Shining God” is obvious: the Creator. The Oracle explained that man will receive a message that will “take them back in time” to the day when men understood the value of life – she suspects through dreams, visions, or something. This “message” will be granted by the Creator who is, in a way, “interfering” because things have gotten out of hand.

Now let’s take a look at the rest of the prophecy that the Oracle has added on. “heart above sight/knowledge below wisdom/visions of present/war & revolution/” Again, don’t freak out. “Heart above sight” meaning that although the pure only see hatred, deep down they still hope; “Knowledge below wisdom” represents wisdom is greater and more important than knowledge in this particular case; “visions of present” is saying that people will receive visions of the present – the hatred, the fighting, the senseless actions of man; “war & revolution” means that a war will come – a revolt against tyranny and the way people take life so casually (what kind of war is unclear).

“Rebirth or Despair”. Take a long look at that part. Rebirth. Or. Despair. Rebirth – when everything dies away and is reborn, given a second chance. Despair – doomed without hope, death, the eventual end. That message is the one that rings the loudest and most clear and frightens people more than anything. Rebirth or Despair. D’you know what it’s saying? “Change your ways or die” and considering the prophecy, it makes perfect sense: people all over the world will “go back in time” and see for themselves how man once lived, once valued life and a second vision will appear to them as “visions of the present” and what it’s like now. The concept is simple: from these “messages”, man will have a chance to redeem themselves and revolt against the life they’re living now and from the ashes they can either “be reborn” OR… if they do not change their ways despite the warnings, man will perish.

——————————————-

Shortly after translating the full prophecy from the night before, Ox got on the computer and I tried to relax. Too bad, so sad because I ended up with a third message. Once again, this message was in words. That made a total of 5 messages that Ox and I received in less than 16 hours! Do you have any idea what it feels like to be an answering machine?! WE DO!! Erhem. He waited for a while before translating the message.

“In what/pre world/send no one/for it will/all fall from/world of end/touch on/dark skies/end to end over/form from ones/banishment/meant for one/creator/unresolved/hanged by own”

What the hell that means, I don’t know, and neither does Kesh. Honestly, it makes no sense except for the last part. “Form from ones banishment meant for one Creator unresolved”…

About 3 – 4 months ago, Daddy Von Hessial created an entity. A very. Dangerous. Entity. Demonics aren’t evil, contrary to popular belief, they just corrupt and spread chaos. They’re more like tricksters who thrive on the fear, pain, and bad feelings of others. This entity…was beyond that. Vaneeshstal had nothing on this creature. Kesh and I had a long discussion and he was doing whatever he could to figure out ways to destroy it, but it kept growing and becoming more powerful. Finally, he had me to send a “prayer” to the Creator; “The innocent wishes of those with pure hearts always travel faster to the Creator,” he told me. So I asked the Creator to destroy it. We were granted a key and when the full moon came, we were able to lock this entity away. The entity could have rivaled the Creator if it was left unchecked.

It was in fact “banished” and could have been “unresolved” because it was “for one – Creator”. This message unnerves me because of “touch on dark skies” (as I mentioned earlier, the sky was breathing one night) and it seems to mention the entity that we sealed away. What it means, I’m still confused by, but I’m afraid someone might try to bring it back.

——————————–

That night, around 5 or 6, I got a fourth message and Ox said he would have to translate it when he got back from the Eclipse premier (ew! on my part) because it was in Elvish. Once again, I thought it was Demonic. They look very similar. He said that while he can translate Draconic and Demonic rather quickly, Elvish (even translating it to words instead of symbols) takes him hours. After I laid Alex down to bed, I tried my hand at translating it on my own. I got it translated in less than 30 minutes because apparently while my Fog keeps Balthazaar from being able to translate anything to English, it doesn’t affect Gab’s ability to translate Elvish symbols to words or to English.

Here’s an image of the Elvish symbols I received:

“Bring to light/those who pass judgment/winds of change [are]/bound by duty [and]/clouded by ?/Bright is the sun/[that is] cast upon glory/[the] shame of the guides/[are] those who chose ?/Keys to the door [revealed]/Granted shal be the wish of the pure/gather forth allies/[as] war brews, blood spills/[yet] Earth’s battle cannot win”

The bottom symbol is by itself for a reason. It is a symbol. According to Gab, there was a group of angelics (not the Original 9 or their apprentices or the Dos Domientes) in 1452 who gathered together to “fight evil” by doing things like inhabiting priests for exorcisms or people who tried to bring a stop to war by sacrificing their own lives. This was their symbol and it translates to “preikasonaire“: “By the powers of light for all”. I’ll edit in the ? words once I talk to Kesh/Ox here in a minute.

A Flood of Mysterious Messages

It is important to note in this post that I am not as quick or as good at translating symbols as Kesh is because Balthazaar is lazy and has a serious disadvantage from being sealed inside me: I have a fog that clouds my mind, blocks out memories of both myself and my givens, and prevents certain abilities of theirs and mine to shine through. That is, they aren’t as fully focused at translating or speaking as they would be if they weren’t sealed inside of me.

What happened tonight sounds far-fetched, but for the open-minded – kudos for bearing with me this far. K, the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to me would be hands-down tonight: the sky was breathing and it had a heartbeat. Ox was listening to it. Sounds somewhat like a plane, but in a rhythm. Very, very creepy and yes it is unbelievable. What’s more insane is that it stopped as soon as we started commenting and listening intently to it. “Yeah, right, the sky is alive -/sarcasm-” would be anyone’s thoughts. That’s okay, I have a hard time listening to me chatter on like a wacko, too. Getting more to the point, after everything died down, Ox lit his lighter. We were outside when all of this happened and a storm is supposed to be rolling in, but the breeze has been pretty fast so why is the storm moving slower than molasses? No clue. Anyway, he lit his lighter when there was, at the time, no wind yet the lighter flickered like crazy. An explanation here, readers: if a light flickers and there is no “draft” or wind or any logical reason for a flame to go nuts – that is called “energy” and if it goes beserk, that means there’s a looot of it around. It was coming from the north, same direction as the storm. We have an anxious feeling for no “logical reason” and that means something BIG is coming probably following the abnormally slow storm.

Around the same time we started getting anxious, Ox said to get him a piece of paper. We went inside and he scribbled like mad all over notebook sheets of paper. Symbols flooded his mind from an unknown source. This, again, is called “auto-writing” and I can assure you that at that level of fast markings and symbol madness, it’s not pleasant. It can give you a headache. He got 2 different messages each in a different language, but the sources are unknown; he allowed me to translate them (Balthazaar helped me greatly so I can learn how to read and write the languages on my own).

Just so that all of you understand the difference between “supernatural languages” and what I mean by “symbols”, I drew what was on the notebook paper (we don’t have a scanner) on to my computer using my Wacom. The first message was in Draconic (no, it is NOT the language of Dragons). Now, keep in mind that I don’t speak, write, or read Draconic – anything that I do write is done by auto-writing where I clear my mind and allow the symbol to form with each line that my hand writes/draws. Balthazaar can read it, write it, and speak it; what he cannot do, thanks to my fog, is translate it to English. So, he had to translate it to Demonic instead and from there, he allowed Kesh to translate it to English.

That image is full of Draconic symbols. They look funny and made up, don’t they?  Be thankful that I cleared them up because Ox ended up scribbling and going over the same lines twice so it was hard to tell what line went where. Anyway, that’s Draconic. Using the Draconic > Demonic > English translation, it reads like this:

“For the end/everything/all the energy/Meakumaere (Demon name)/transform/the first/of a whole/nine for one/eight for one/in all of the/world none will/prevail over/annihilation”

Okay. Perhaps I should take a second to explain. Each symbol you see isn’t a letter in the Draconic alphabet. It’s a word or more precisely a phrase. You think Kanji is difficult? Try Draconic, Demonic, Elvish (not JRR Tolkien’s version, either), or any of those languages; they’re hard! No, we don’t know what it means entirely but here’s a thought to chew on. “Nine for one” would be the Original 9 Demons; “Eight for one” is referring to the 8 Harbingers (I was only aware of 6 until this message popped up). Kesh is analyzing the messages, I’m sure. Don’t let the word “annihilation” scare you, either. I’ll explain Meakumaere, the name of a Demon, later on.

The second message he received was written in Demonic. I recognized it right away because once several months ago, I saw Ox scribbling some weird symbols on a sheet of paper. It was a Demonic symbol representing a name of one of the Harbingers. He drew quite a few and that’s how I was able to tell this message was Demonic.

It doesn’t look the same as Draconic, does it? Freaky symbols, yes, but you can really tell the difference just like you can tell there’s a difference between the Japanese kanji and hiragana or katakana. It’s essentially the same thing. This message was the first one I translated to actual words. The words sound funny and are difficult for normal people (even me) to pronounce, but spelling them out helps. From Demonic > English, the translation is as follows:

“To control/all in one/every one/together/entire class/come in as one/you in all of you/one contained power/predisposition to all power”

It didn’t make sense the first time because Balthazaar and I got a couple of words wrong in translation. Kesh double checked it and it made more sense in English. Apparently, if you don’t have the whole word in Demonic, it comes out as a non-sensical funny phrase in English like “corixtan” translates only to “one contained” while “conrixtaneral” translates to “one contained power”. Like I said – it’s a funky languages.

Either way, that’s what has happened so far. I figured I’d share the symbols with you readers so that you can both see what Draconic and Demonic look like and tell the difference. I’m not so sure I want to find out who’s behind these messages or worse: if the two messengers are related somehow. I shudder to think of what kind of power an entity would have if it had all of the original 9 and the 8 Harbingers merged together. Maybe that’s what someone’s trying to do. Who knows? I just hope we can stop it before it carries out whatever plan it has.
