i. Fruitless Harvest Moon Though some think I'm crazy While others deem me insane I cannot help but continue And believe it eases my pain Believe in the harvest moon Yet I am old and weary And the light it gives, though fair Bodes ill will and malevolence Take care Beware Don't trust the harvest moon The moonlight controls my thoughts Plus something I cannot see Sound the alarm, do anything you can Keep it away from me Run from the harvest moon Keep your bravery, boy! Don't let me down Take this lantern, prepare the sirens Warn the entire town Protect from the harvest moon... ~ A poem written by Governor No. 8 of Lavu on his deathbed. I apologize for the inconsistencies that occur in my story right about here, but my mind is still a little bit fuzzy on the details. Apparently, mind control can have lasting effects on people like me. In short, my friend turned about to be Reve Terra Lyeon, the second daughter of Reve Isga. How she managed to appear there was beyond me. When I woke up, she interrogated me. She was trying to find her mother, and apparently, as she told me, she couldn't pry this information out of me with her mind powers alone. I knew this wasn't true, but I played along anyway, given that she could melt my brain with a wave of her psychic hand. I told her everything I knew about her father, a man named Kerragan Cathrop. Reve thanked me for my cooperation. As she mentioned, her mother had erased the memory of Uaa and Emeroch Isga, who were in prison for their crimes. Adelais and Lydia Isga, who were also psychics, were above her and she could not decode their thoughts. They simply said it was best for her mother to remain forgotten, but Reve wouldn't let it go.

ii. Dark Columns Uaa Isga, or Dränsilane, as he would probably rather be known, never really liked his adopted sister as far as I've heard. According to rumors that I've overheard in Blueheart, he was planning to kill his brother Emeroch. According to these rumors, Emeroch is currently infected with a violent strain of Gondii Yelvyn, stage two of the Gondii Maledicta virus that became an issue in Sharhodeon before the country was destroyed. I wish I understood more about it, because Gondii Maledicta was bad enough. In any case, it has been said that Gondii Yelvyn is dependent on the presence of light on its host; the parasite dies, terminating its victim and itself if it does not have any form of light.

iii. Valley Dränsilane is named as such because of his origins. He had a unique condition that caused his body to decompose around the start of his adult years. This is supposedly a curse, brought on by the recent creation of Castle Adelais. Devastated, the Unkardian Royal Family smashed their daughter's castle to pieces, spreading the fragments far and wide. Dränsilane retreated to what is only known as Valley 65, which is the oddly named valley in the country of Verimore. In its center, there is a town named Crüdza.

iv. Submarine Dränsilane later returned to Unkardia after his visit to Verimore, after his mother and father had died. He banished Reve his adopted sister. When Emeroch resisted, Dränsilane supposedly drowned him. However, Emeroch survived and swam to the isle of Anne, visibly affected by the encounter. However, I have to stop here.

Blue Moon 07:06

v. Blue Moon I would explain more, but I've contained myself in this room for too long. Whenever someone tries to decipher the secrets of Zeffon, there's a fell beast that comes after each individual and maims them in the most cruel and contorted ways. That's the entire reason we as the Lavulese government are so secretive: there's consequences and safety hazards for those who do not comply, not from us, but from powers unknown.

vi. Attic (Sound the Alarm) At this point, I plan on staying mum on the matters of Zeffon. The main reason I bother to write this down is anyone's guess, but I feel as though these things should be documented in the right ways. A primal fear of the unknown will hopefully not dissuade others from doing the same. I will say this however: do not venture too far into the shadows of the unknown, as you never know what's lurking in the dark. Reve Isga knew it. Her daughters and son knew it. Uaa Isga knew it. Yet, we as humans seem to relish the idea of danger and hazards. The fact that I'm still writing is a sign of that.

Circle of Fear 09:30

vii. Circle of Fear However, I do want to finish my story about Reve's daughter, Reve Terra Lyeon. She told me to never inquire too deep into the unknown. Although I have always been a curious, inquisitive individual, I decided that it was best to listen to her. I didn't know what it was, but when she started to talk about the unknown, I began to feel rather cold, like there was something gnawing at the bones underneath my skin. I knew it wasn't her and her psychic abilities. It was something else, something undefinable, yet malevolent. This, the feeling told me, was one of many beings in a state of semi-existence, and I was to remain silent about the various things I had seen. I accepted the command, but I have felt compelled to write on these things nevertheless. In any case, goodbye. I hope dearly that these writings will mean nothing bad for me in the long run.

about

i. Fruitless Harvest Moon

Though some think I'm crazy
While others deem me insane
I cannot help but continue
And believe it eases my pain

Believe in the harvest moon

Yet I am old and weary
And the light it gives, though fair
Bodes ill will and malevolence
Take care
Beware

Don't trust the harvest moon

The moonlight controls my thoughts
Plus something I cannot see
Sound the alarm, do anything you can
Keep it away from me

Run from the harvest moon

Keep your bravery, boy!
Don't let me down
Take this lantern, prepare the sirens
Warn the entire town

Protect from the harvest moon...
