i find myself going to that church a lot

it is objectively very beautiful. i believe leda was the one to have built it. it really does remind me of the one back home

no one goes to that church. honestly, i don’t know if anyone is particularly fond of that church. honestly, i’m unsure if i’m fond of that church

i don’t know why i go. though, i guess i wasn’t sure why i went back then either. maybe i just enjoy the peace of it

no one ever bothers you in church. no one ever questions you, or asks about your ██████, or claims to be your long lost ██████. no one ever questions when your ████████ ███ ████ will come out, or pretend to be your friend to get closer to ████ ███. no one ever questions who you think you are, trying to write like ███. no one in church ev

i saw the priest today. he seemed fine

we had a conversation. i wouldn’t say the conversation was quite pleasant, or even really useful. we just– had a conversation. we talked. that’s it

our conversation was cut short though. lillian, luca, and the twin walked in. all seemingly pissed at the priest for whatever reason. though, they always do seem pissed at him. can’t exactly fault them for that

an argument started to bubble between the priest after a short bit, like always. i excused myself out before i could get dragged into it, too much of a headache

the priest gave me a stake. during our talk. told me to keep it safe. that it’d keep me safe. to use it against any demonic creatures who may come after me

i’m unsure what to do with it. it’s quite annoying to handle, though for some reason i can’t stomach the thought of throwing it away

[another enchanted book. a tingle shivers down every time a page is flipped. it smells faintly of a lily of the valley. yet again, a ribbon is sewed onto the book, with lucille's name written neatly on it. next to her name this time is just a couple of swirls]

you need to write something beautiful

vampires

[this page seems to be full of scribbles]

a seemingly abandoned town (haunted?) that is rumored to hold the cure of any illness the cure to a cure (undecided)

an innocent and clueless girl willing to risk everything to save her mother from her sickness

beacons powered by a group of people that reside in the abandoned town

a religious group of people. run by someone suffering through intense religious psychosis

a small group of people. perhaps 10-15? small enough to still make the town incredibly isolated, but big enough to have a so called “leader”

these beacons have the power to trap anyone who walks into this town

this is how they convert people to their religion. they traps people and forces them to join them

the barriers are able to let people in but it can’t/won’t let people out

a man whos on the run from the people of the town. ex religious member?

this man knows the girl’s mother. perhaps old friends? maybe even lovers? undecided

vampires???

i’ve always wanted a story. i should be excited about this, and in a way i am. but.. gosh. i don’t know. it’s almost ███ ███████████ ███████

there’s so much i wanna ask. too much. it’s overwhelming. ████████████

i think i need to sleep on this. if i can even find it in myself to fall asleep

i don’t know.

i just want to create something beautiful  please let me create something beautiful

[the writing feels more rushed than usual. the usual neat handwriting turned into scribbles of a desperate plea. most of the writing is scribbled out, with some pages missing. it's feel as if it should be barely readable]

i’m currently writing this in the tomb of the abandoned caste. it’s dark. i can barely see. but at least i can get away from everything for just a moment. be alone with my own thoughts

it’s funny. i wasn’t even aware a tomb like this existed. it’s odd. larger than the rest of the tombs, yet it lacks the chest that holds those books

honestly it looks more like a traditional tomb, with an entire room devoted to someone’s coffin. though, for a coffin it’s suspiciously empty, only holding a single hopper that holds nothing. 

i should █████ ████████████. no i shouldn’t

kelly was right, i guess. vampires are real. or well, at least. kier

[it seems this page is ripped out. it seems like a lot of pages are ripped out]

vampires are real. at least according to kelly

it was an interesting argument actually

i had ran into kelly in the woods, while on my way to a tomb, with aiden— one of the twins, following closely behind me.. for some odd reason

kelly asked to speak with me at the lake, that she had something important to tell me. something she entrusted me of knowing

the key factor of this entire interaction actually is the fact that kelly trusts me. out of everyone in town kelly trusting me is one of the biggest accomplishments i could have made. kelly’s the one with the most intriguing story, and with her trust now in my hands it’s only a matter of time before i get kelly’s full story

furthermore, kelly began asking us whether or not we’d “heard rumors” about the undead. about vampires, to be more specific. i asked what exactly she meant by that, and kelly began speaking about vampires, and how they were real. she was very assertive about that fact too. “it’s not a matter of believing, they’re real”

honestly speaking, i thought kelly was joking at first. i mean, i’ve heard hearsay about the logistics of vampires and their existence, but i had honestly chucked it up to mass hysteria. vampires just happened to be what the town clung onto

aiden was heavily against the idea. honestly i paint aiden as an average joe type of character. the type to not really engage in theories such as these. a boring character really, barely even a background character. basically forgettable 

i, however, pushed kelly to give more information. show any proof she may have gathered on the existence of vampires. honestly speaking i mostly asked just to see what would happen. would kelly stammer, struggle to give me anything? or would she actually provide some sort of physical proof

kelly, she.. gave me a bottle of blood. told me that was her evidence. holding a bottle of blood was something i’d never experienced, nor did i ever expect to experience. it was.. odd. almost a bit uncomfortable

i believe kelly claimed to have some sort of machine in her home, god knows what type of machine. but whatever machine it was, it was able to test the purity of people. honestly that sounds a bit too sci-fi for me, but sure

i believe she had claimed to have tested it out on kei, and said kei came out as clean. pure. but when kelly had tested it out on kalina and lillian.. i guess something impure happened. whatever happened, i guess, somehow extracted blood from those two, or how kelly puts it, “pure vampiric essence.” honestly.. i have no idea the logistics of that story. but kelly then claimed to hear both lillian and kalina admitting to “being vampires”

i guess using the theory that those two are vampires would explain how exactly they were deconcentrating beacons, assuming the beacons run on the energy given from a human’s soul. though that too in theory would also prove the priest’s claims on those two being inherently “unholy”

honestly i’m not too sure what the truth could be. the past couple of days have been so odd with the sudden claims of vampires spreading around town, and kelly’s weird sci-fi machine she claims to have. i don’t know. maybe kelly’s telling the truth. maybe this is all just bullshit. i do not know

but quite honestly i do not care

i came here for a story. i came here to discover and unravel secrets to weave them together into something beautiful. beauty does not simply come from what is true or not. what is fact and what is fiction. beauty comes from a story. a damn good story that can shake the ideals and beliefs of a person’s soul

i don’t honestly care if kelly just lied for half an hour to me, throwing around claims of vampires. all i care, is that kelly gave me something to work off of. a story to build off of

and, that kelly trust me

if kelly trust me, i’m sure to be able to scrap off the walls to her secrets, discover every little thing to know about her, and to weave her into something beautiful

the priest has been missing for a couple of days now. it’s starting to concern me

i honestly do not care for the priest. he is exactly what the town paints him out to be. stubborn, annoying, and just plain out disrespectful. to say i even like the priest is an incredible overstatement about my feelings towards the man

however. as i’ve admitted many times now, the priest definitely serves himself to be an incredibly interesting character. honestly without him i fear this town would have been incredibly dull, and i probably would have been stuck studying the beacons until i eventually grew bored of them. the priest is the reason why i’ve been so inspired. he’s so much of a despicable person that his character seems to gravitate towards me. he’s just.. interesting

that’s why his disappearance has been slightly concerning to me

the last conversation i had with the priest before his disappearance was him warning me about this town. about the people. about how there are more of “them”

i wonder now if “them” can be referring to lillian and kalina. lillian overheard me talking to kei about what the priest claimed and well, to say lillian was insulted might be an understatement

but disregarding that, i just find the disappearance of the priest almost a slight bit concerning. though, i must admit too on the same breathe it’s almost incredibly intriguing 

the people in town claimed to have seen the priest walk into the woods last. claimed to believe him to be out on a “cleansing excursion.” it seems the people here are nonetheless more pleased about the absence of the priest. though i find his absence to be a lot more deafening than i would like to adm

i just can’t help but wonder about his words of warning to me. i can’t help but wonder what exactly happened to have prompted his plea, and why it was me he warned

i’ve tried asking his housemate about him, though the housemate has proven himself to be quite useless in my questioning

i guess i have no other choice but to just wait for the priest to return. if he even returns

i got to question kalina today

well.. question is honestly being too generous. i only got two questions in before kalina ran off. it didn’t help that i asked in front of ite and amonit, who were horribly adamant about budding in their own questions

honestly i don’t see a real point in writing here. the only reason i am is because of the fact that kalina herself has fully acknowledged and addressed the fact that there is something off with her

it’s interesting actually. every single time something weird is brought up in this town it can always be connected back to her and lillian. like they’re the cause of all the abnormalities in this town. like they themselves are the abnormality 

the more i think about it the more pissed off i get about the fact that barely got the question kalina

well, at least i got to ask some questions. kalina has verbally confirmed to me that she is one of the ones deconsecrating the beacons. how exactly she’s deconsecrating them it seems not even she understands, which honestly is making me lean more towards a supernatural answer, assuming the beacons have something to do with the human’s soul

she’s also verbally acknowledging the “sizzling” sound. honestly my first assumption wasn’t to pin the sizzling on her, but i guess it was amonit’s. and well, i guess she did confirm it to be her. she never answered why she sizzled or what exactly is sizzling on her, only that the sizzling was “uncomfortable but not painful”

i’m starting to understand the vampire claims a bit more now. kalina’s almost a textbook example of a stereotypical vampire. it’s almost too easy to assume that kalina is a vampire

other than that though, i was unable to gather anything else about kalina, or the beacons. she ran away after i had mentioned the barriers of this town. it seems she was never aware of the barriers until i spoke them into existence

kalina.. is a weird case to say the least. she seems to be on the run from something.. or maybe someone? there’s obviously a lot more to her character that she has yet to tell

and i plan to fish out everything from hers

[an old enchantment book, repurposed for the uses for journaling. it has a lingering smell, something rustic. it also always seems to be covered in dust. another ribbon can be found sew into this book, with lucille's name written neatly on it. this time, an imprint of a clover can be found next to her name]

amonit has proven themself to be much more useful then i had first initially thought

me and amonit have.. a friendly relationship. though it’s been more of amonit coming up to me and starting up a conversation. i’ve always entertained their conversations, but i must admit i never really did give amonit much thought

honestly they’ve always painted themself as kinda mad. they desperately excuse every unnatural occurrence as some sort of hallucination. they’ve honestly had the reaction i thought most people in this town would have had. mass hysteria of some sort. that’s why i never took interest in them. they were just another predictable character

but amonit.. gosh amonit. if their goal was to slither their way into my creative process, gosh have they achieved that

amonit was off about another theory of theirs to explain the abnormalities of this town, with the twin standing near. me and kei were there too, honestly i forget why we were all there, or why we just decided to start discussing in the middle of town

kei and the twin started to discuss the books that crumble into your hands. or well.. discussing is a nice way to put it. it honestly seemed to have been bordering across the line of an argument

amonit, of course, argued against the existence of the books themself. i believe they think the powers are just hallucinations, and that the books just get lost into the ground when it’s opened. in hindsight their explanation makes no sense, but who am i to shut down a theory 

honestly i forget how i got to this point of the conversation, but somehow someway i started to make a joke about vampires, and how they could be a possible explanation towards the beacon. i never meant it to be a real argument, more just something to throw into the mix. something to be waved off

and, gosh. i don’t know what exactly ticked off in amonit’s mind, but they started to go off. heavily denying the existence of vampires and actively arguing against an argument i hadn’t even put up

i guess amonit’s screaming got the attention of most of town, since eventually everyone began circling around us, questioning what exactly the shouting was about 

and then amonit. oh amonit. they started pointing fingers at kieran, aggressively claiming him to be sick without letting kieran even get a word in for himself

i guess kieran took being accused as sick fairly personal, as the two started arguing with each other, with luca stepping in to defend kieran

things started to escalate from there. with amonit shouting and pointing fingers while the town tried to fight back. i don’t think i’ve ever seen someone so adamant about their own delusions before. amonit seemed close to tears

i walked away from it eventually, mostly due to the fact that the conversation started from a joke i said, and the fact that i desperately did not want to get on any bad footing with anyone. being on bad footing just means losing an opportunity to discover someone’s story, and that’s just not a risk i’m willing to take

amonit calmed down, eventually. but it was the most worked up i’ve ever seen them

honestly speaking though, their reactions were well, predictable. surprising, but predictable from what i’ve learned about amonit’s character 

though seeing how much they’re willing to fight and die on a hill they built themself’s is.. inspiring 

amonit might not be an interesting character, but they could serve to be a useful tool for my creative process

perhaps i could combine amonit’s stubbornness with kana’s character. it would lead to a much less one dimensional character, and it would serve as a very obvious yet compelling character flaw

i wonder how amonit is doing now

me and kei had a really interesting encounter today in the dead woods

lillian and kalina. the two people who can seemingly deconsecrate those beacons. they told us to leave the deconsecrated ones alone. that the deconsecrated ones felt “nice to them.” the consecrated ones were the ones that hurt them. that it “wasn’t fair” to them

i still don’t know how they deconsecrate those beacons, or why exactly the consecrated ones hurt them. on a first assumption i would guess that maybe they’re sickly or close to death, but kelly is also sickly and has what could be argued as the opposite effect

i wish i got to ask them more questions. they came up to us out of nowhere, it kinda startled me. i was too busy answering their questions and requests to ask any of my own. gosh i’m actually still upset about that. no point in wallowing in that though. another opportunity well come up eventually, i am stuck with them afterall

furthermore, after that encounter in the dead woods, me and kei decided to venture back into town. the moment we stepped into town we.. overheard an interesting conversation 

something about vampires

not exactly sure what they were talking about. ite claimed they were debating about the existence of vampires and how they’re in this town with us. wandering around us humans, blending in with the townsfolk 

no idea where those people even came to that conclusion honestly, though i guess the priest keeps pushing the idea of demons, so it’s not exactly too strange. it could make for a good reason behind the beacons! though honestly i’m more inclined to believe in demons. the idea of vampires kinda did come out of nowhere. who knows though, maybe lillian and kalina are secretly vampires and that’s how they’re deconsecrating the beacons

gosh, i think i must be losing my mind too a bit. that’s no issue though. the less sane the mind the more intriguing the story

whispers from a tale, deep in the woods

a town, without a name

whispers of a town, once so lively and full

a town, now dull of life

whispers of a town that takes. it takes, and doesn't give back

whispers of a town. a town, with a cure to it all

"you mustn't venture off into the woods now, kana"

a whisper kana has heard all her life

"it's dangerous out there. you may lose yourself in there"

but kana was already losing her mom

with a shaky breath, kana sighed. a letter in hand. a letter her mother wouldn't approve of

"kana, dear.." a voice whispered out. though you could barely call it a whisper, more like a pathetic cry to be heard

kana turned over, letter still in hand

her mother laid there, pale as ever. light dull in her eyes

"go to bed mother." kana whispered. "you'll feel better once you sleep"

"kana.." her mother whispered out, holding a hand out for kana. “i love you.. so very much”

kana hesitated. the letter still in her hand

"i..” kana bit her tongue. “..love you too. mom" kana whispered out, grasping onto her mother's hand, as if it were the only thing left of her

"sleep well, mom" kana mumbled, as she let go of her mother, her mother drifting to bed

kana took the letter, and held it close to her heart

somethings are better left unknown

kana would save her mother. no matter what it took

a whisper of a town. a whisper of a cure

a whisper to save to one she truly loved

there’s something off about the priest

honestly, there’s been something off about a lot of things in town recently. like the increase of bats in the open sky or some people coming out paler than usual

i’ve been pushing all the differences aside, due to just believing it to be a trick of the eye. there are much odder things in oakhurst, a couple of bats in the sky weren’t really that big a deal to me. however, it seems the priest wants to preach another tale

he’s been acting.. odd. more paranoid. he keeps insisting the night is unsafe and that there is something dark lurking in the woods. i thought he was talking about the mobs, or perhaps maybe even the demons the keeps preaching about, but it seems like it’s something else. he seems to be preaching about.. the people of this town itself

i know a lot of people aren’t pleased with the priest. kelly talked to me about how she found the priest annoying, and i’ve heard the whispers from this town about the priest. about his church. and honestly i can’t necessarily blame anyone. the priest has.. well an incredibly strong personality, to say the least. he’s not easy to get along with, and i know that he hates the people of this town just as much as they hate him

usually speaking any sort of talk the priest would’ve had about the people here i would just tune out. however, this time. it just.. it seemed more serious. like he was talking out of genuine fear then just disgust

he asked me randomly if i noticed something off about this town. i mean, of course i had, but, everything about this town was off. i made some lighthearted joke about the color of lillian’s hair being off, but chucking it up to just misremembering. he however, gosh how do i even explain it

he took my arm. squeezed it, like he was warning me of something. he told me that i was correct. that lillian’s hair wasn’t natural, that it wasn’t “ash” like she had apparently been claiming. he told me to look out for her

when i told him i would look out for her, he— squeezed my arm harder. looked me dead in the eyes. told me that i would remember. that i will remember. like he was commanding me to

then he just, let go. told me there were “more of them.” and then nothing else

i don’t know who “them” is. my only assumption, seeming that it came from the priest, would be something demonic. but what exactly? 

honestly, the entire thing shook me a bit. i’m unsure whether i should actually take his words to heart. though, there is one thing for certain

the priest just made this town sound so much more curious

kana galia ༄

an innocent, clueless yet wide eyed girl, curious about the world around her. once a sheltered girl, she ventures out into the woods in hopes of finding an abandoned town, rumored to hold a cure to her mother’s illness. despite the town’s warning, she discards them to discover what exactly the town has to offer for herself. whether or not she comes back home to her mother is now in the hands of god, for this town isn’t known for having anyone come back from it, once they enter
