Black Pyramid
At the top of Mount Patho, which gives the place its name, there is a hanging lake that is no longer fed by any river, and from which no river flows. It is called Moon Lake. Thirty thousand years ago, when the world was young before the Man-ape came to the land of Patho, there was an ancient city standing beside the lake. It's called the Echo. The creatures that lived in Echo were not very pleasant to look at. They were red, with eyes that took up most of their faces, lips from which sharp fangs protruded, and curious ears. And they were as silent as stone. Their fangs descended from the moon on a red night, bringing with them the lake and the city. Mara, the name of these creatures who worshipped a black stone idol carved into a hollow pyramid, possessed a magical power unknown to all. They dwelt in dark, subterranean tunnels near the inferno's heat. Every blood moon, they performed strange rituals, dancing and pounding drums around their deity, wreathed in yellow fire.

The Psychic's Journal
2022-2023 Summary I acquired some belief in myself over the years of ‘22-’23. Granted that it required the discovery of a few psychic abilities roughly a year prior, along with the choice that I should begin logging my experiences from brain to paper for understanding purposes. That is, If I have any viable understanding of anything at all. Rightly so unloading my experiences to these chronicles is the only choice that reigns over my insanity.

Waking Up to Nothing Part 6
They dragged us with our hands tied by a natural rope that rubbed our skin raw. Faint silhouettes of people were visible through the covering as we walked behind our kidnappers. My dry mouth clung to the suffocating material, and the sun blaring against our dehydrated skin did not ease the burning pain.
