i. No Strength to Stand
In the end, I came across a strange dimension and wrote about it in my journals, which I published. There's no doubt in my mind that they inspired Rufus Maye to begin writing his own pieces. In any case, I began to hear voices and music while in that forest, and soon, I saw light for the first time in years, as the forest is very dense. Eventually, I managed to walk a distance across what appeared to be a wheat field covered in sand. In the distance, I was able to make out clouds of dust erupting from the ground, telling me that I was going to have to make it past some sandstorms of all things.

ii. Mining Accident
After traveling farther, what used to be a wheat field began to look like a desert; there was nothing but sand dunes as far as the eye could see. All the while, I heard rumbling beneath my feet, which hit me with a sense of unease for no reason I could discern. I managed to make it to a small town, which the folk nearby called Kelios. They seemed surprised that they had received a visitor, as they had not seen travelers in a long time. As such, they regarded me with suspicion.

iii. September Star
Nevertheless, they allowed me to stay in a run-down house that was still somehow standing. It belonged to one of the Ijleneph clan they said, but ever since she died, it had remained vacant. I had no idea who this person was, but I thanked them for their hospitality, albeit limited. As the sun drifted down past the horizon, there was the sound of guitar music in the night, as if there was some sort of gathering somewhere in the desert.

iv. Rotting Fruit Vials
After the night had passed, I set out again, but I would always seem to end back up at the town. The people of Kelios didn't seem surprised, and they would repeatedly offer me the same house that I had slept in initially. Having the need for shelter during the cold desert night, I didn't refuse. It was my fifth time sleeping in that house, and I could hear the usual guitar playing in the distance, but I felt as though there was something else out there. It reminded me of the feeling of when I would sense a person nearby (I was born a psychic), but I couldn't tell what this presence was. Nevertheless, I was intrigued, so I set out during the night, following this entity.

v. Yez, Part 1
I continued to walk over the sand, noting the rumbling beneath my feet had gotten slightly more intense. As I mentioned before, every so often, rumbling would occur underground, but I had gotten used to it by now. This time however, it was slightly more apparent then I remember. Luckily, a full moon lit the desert quite nicely, which drastically reduced the malevolent atmosphere that would've otherwise been present. The guitar was also louder, which I took as a sign suggesting that I might be close to what I was searching for.

vi. Yez, Part 2
As I continued, I saw strange twisted trees that had cropped up out of the sand, and I began to sense that the terrain was about to change again drastically. Soon, the humidity of the surroundings began to become a factor and my skin grew cold with condensation. I began to shiver, and a mountain of stone began to slowly manifest itself on the horizon as I continued to move towards it. Eventually, I reached the base of it and began to climb. I reached the top and looked down the other side, where I saw a valley that reminded me very much of Inejeheim: dreary, foggy, damp, forested, and cold.

vii. A White Bird Called
Suddenly, a loud hooting sound filled the damp air, and I shivered at the sound of it. A hole appeared in the dense fog in the valley, and I saw what appeared to be a lizard with very thin and long crane-like legs flopping about in the mud, as if it couldn't stand. The hooting sounded again, and the hole in the fog closed, followed by the most gruesome sound of bones being snapped in half.

viii. Taking Away Our Loved Ones
I ran back to Kelios, only to find it abandoned, and inside the house in which I stayed, I found a note:
"To the Man known who stayed here,
We have abandoned this town. IT has taken too many of our people, and we have decided that enough is enough. We have buried ourselves beneath the desert with our ancestors, and hopefully, we will see our families again, before that sadistic, lying THING tore them apart."
~ EI
As I finished the letter, the wind shifted, and I felt an ominous presence nearby. I hid under the covers of the bed I had used and waited until dawn, when the presence finally left.
