text: This is a story I first wrote about a year ago and i never really knew how to release it, but it took me a decent amount of time and its really been on my mind for the past few days so I hope you guys enjoy it. Also this is the first time Ive ever even been on reddit so please bear with me and correct anything ive done wrong. Im also just copying and pasting from the google docs this is on so tell me if any of this comes out weird. Captain’s Log Captain’s Log Day 1 I’ve discovered a journal in this despicable wasteland. The strange creature still wears a hat made of aluminum. I’m curious to why he does this. The Giant continues to make strange deep and ungodly noises. I don’t know where I am, but I believe both of these beings are anomalies or something pertaining to the topic. I can’t remember anything. The strange crown has now been transferred to other strange creatures and then returned to the original wearer. All these subjects now display strange behaviors. The Giant one disappeared for a sizable portion of time. I’m not sure where he went within this time period, but I believe it was a dimension out of my knowledge. The more I write the more I can begin to remember, but to my knowledge there are only 5 known dimensions. This took many years of research to discover. Out of these two subjects, the one with the aluminum hat seems to be the less sophisticated and more submissive one. The Giant, although quiet, when he speaks I believe no words are wasted. This may prove to be incorrect because of the language barrier. These beings speak a language I cannot comprehend. This is the end of today's entry. Captain’s Log Day 2 The two beings got into a small disagreement over something I cannot comprehend. The language they speak is one I've never even heard of. I can only decipher what’s going on through their body language. Whatever they were speaking about was important. I MUST know more. The key to understanding them is out there somewhere and I will find it. End Of Log Captain’s Log Day 3 I believe there is another being somewhere out there in the universe. From what I can decipher it appears there was once a third being, but he left for reasons unknown to me. The other two have tried to explain to me why and where he went, but their language is strange and alien to me. From what I understand though, the third being is a prophet. I have decided to name these three beings. The one with the strange hat like device will be known as Silverstein. The giant will be called Trognog. And finally, the third and most mysterious will be called The Prophet. I hope to learn more about these beings. End Of Log Captain’s Log Day 4 I have decided to put on Silverstein’s strange hat. I will either do this with or without his permission. I hope it will reveal more about him. End Of Log Captain’s Log Day 5 I have put on Silverstein’s strange hat. Many would wish to have this hat. I understand everything that has been said. There is a plague, the worst one this planet has ever seen, and its spreading fast. There’s not much time. This is why The Prophet left. He has gone in search of the cure. The Prophet is the only one that knows how to stop the plague. He believes the cure is in an unknown realm. From what I know it’s in the worst dimension ever discovered. I hope he returns soon. End Of Log Captain’s Log Day 6 It appears that the planet worships a god named Jah. Apparently, The Prophet is a direct messenger from Jah himself. The Prophet was sent down to protect this planet and all of its beings. I am skeptical of this religion and its beliefs. End Of Log Captain’s Log Day 7 I’ve realized that I have failed to describe any of these beings. The one I call Trognog is extremely tall. He is also a strange gray color almost like stone. He has a fungus or moss like substance that grows on his head in place of hair. The only articles of clothing he has are dark rags, ripped from many years of battle. He is always hunched over. 📷 The being named Silverstein is equally strange in appearance. His entire body is hair. From head to toe he is hair. It trails behind him like a glorified wedding veil. One characteristic of Silverstein is that he hates to be apart from the strange hat like crown he wears. 📷 End Of Log Captain’s Log Day 8 The whispers of impending doom grow louder now. They are a white noise to every conversation. It is steadily growing from quiet whispers into a dull roar. I hope The Prophet returns soon. End Of Log \*\*\*\*PROLOGUE\*\*\*\* Captain’s Log Day -3 LOG ID NAME: Cap-Ta-Ins HEIGHT: 5’11 WEIGHT: 170 LBS DESCRIPTION: AGENT HAS BLONDE HAIR AND GREEN EYES. AGENT ALSO HAS SLIGHT BUILD. AGENT APPEARS TO BE AROUND 20 YEARS OLD. MOTIVES FOR JOINING LOG: “All of my family died in the second war after the vietnamese took over after winning the first. Earth is gone and we’ve gone to using portals and other dimensions and space travels, so I figured why not join LOG. My main objective now is to spread and complete the motives of LOG.” END OF STATEMENT End Of Log Captain’s Log Day -2 We have hidden Jah far away where only one will be able to find him. That is my main target. I prep to enter the planet Zing today and will enter through The Garden Of The Seventh Gate in 2 days. There is a strong chance I may lose my memories by entering this way, but LOG insists that it’s the most efficient. The planet Zing has been under attack for many years so this is the easiest way to infiltrate Zing. End Of Log Captain’s Log Day -1 I enter through the gate tomorrow. All that is about to happens is for the future’s own good. He is coming and it will be glorious. End Of Log Captain’s Log Day 0 The Seventh Gate is found on an island in the inner space region of Zing. The Gate is located in a very nice garden. The gate is a dull gray color with hints of yellow, while the portal itself is like shimmering water. I wish I had more time to fully study this place, but my time has come. For the Future. \*Transmission cuts off\* End Of Log \*\*\*\*END OF PROLOGUE\*\*\*\* Captain’s Log Day 9 News is spreading that The Prophet has returned. The rumors speak nothing of The Cure. I now have a detailed description of The Prophet. He has a body that glows the whitest white. On him are star like objects that absorb all light. He also has a grape for a head. The only reasoning for this that I can think of is that Jah is also a grape. 📷 End Of Log Captain’s Log Day 10 I have spoken with The Prophet and he has big plans. He has strange abilities and powers and claims he can help return my memories. I think he is a great being. End Of Log Captain’s Log Day 11 Today The Prophet began the initiation process to regain my memories. He removed one of the black stars from his body and placed it on to my forehead, where it then got entirely absorbed into my skull. As soon as he did this, I was transported into the past. \*\*\*\*The Vietnam War- Asher’s Story\*\*\*\* It’s been around 40 days since we first got deployed. There are 7 of us all together. Our platoon is made up of Sergeant CD, Colonel McCrusty, Jacob, Hunter, Devin, Sam, and yours truly.There used to be more of us, but they’re all gone. It was on the 12th day when we lost 3 other members, Nathan, Chris, and Shane. We were walking through jungle when we started to hear them, The Vietcong. We heard them from all directions but couldn’t see a single one. We started to pick up the pace, but so did they. We stopped for a second to catch our breath, when suddenly everything exploded with movement. Nathan, Chris, and Shane were seized while the rest of us ran. 3 days later we found their bodies strung up out in the jungle decapitated and decomposing. We gave them an improper burial fearing for our lives. I gotta call it in for the night. Vietnam Day 41- Asher’s Story We found a river while moving camps. It was risky making a stop like this, but water is water. We continued moving up towards higher ground after refilling our water supply. We were at some high cliffs at a bend in the river. It was a very long way down. Most of us were taking in the view when suddenly, Sam started screaming about a President and something about the trees coming for us. This went on for a few minutes and none of us knew how to react from a lack of sleep. Sam stopped screaming and turned his head quickly towards Sergeant CD. Sam then grabbed Sergeant CD before any of us could react and he threw CD right off the cliffs, he himself holding on to the Sergeant as they fell into oblivion. The cliffs were so high, that they were dead before they even hit the ground. Sam and Sergeant CD died that day... End Of Day Vietnam Day 44- Asher’s Story It’s been three days since anyone has spoken to each other, what happened there on those cliffs has shaken us to our very cores. End Of Day Vietnam Day 50- Asher’s Story It’s been 6 days since I last wrote anything down. Over the last six days I've gotten about 3 hours of sleep all together. It's been non-stop fighting and running and killing. I can't even tell if any of the blood on my clothes is mine... \*\*\*\*Night\*\*\*\* Lately, the other men have been seeing a man in a suit and red tie following us through the jungle. I haven't seen him till now. I'm questioning my sanity... It has been 3 hours. He's just staring. He's gradually moving closer every minute. He doesn't blink or move anything. He just sort of silently glides. Is he real or am I just dreaming? I'm going to get some sleep. Vietnam Day 51- Asher’s Story When I woke, he was leaning over me, not in a threatening way, but more like an inquisitive way. He said “ come with me” and when I asked for his name he just said “ call me Mr. President”. as soon as he touched my shoulder, I saw a flash of red light then we were in total darkness... \*End Of Vietnam\* The Cave Day ?- Asher’s Story As soon as we were transported into the cave, all I could see was Darkness with some light reflecting off of water. I’m chained down and tortured every half hour. The only thing Mr. President says is “Where is He?” over and over again. I don't understand. I have to stop writing he's coming back... The Cave Day ?- Asher’s Story There is no sense of time here, so I've just started using a ? instead of a number. He's removed my fingernails and toenails. He has slowly plucked every hair off of my body. There are now needles in my knees and feet. I started to scream “ Mr. president you can't keep me in this cave forever! Release Me from these chains! Let me out Mr. President!” as soon as I said this the chains were released. I started to swim after I crawled into the water. Each agonizing inch was more pain than the last. As soon as I made it through the entrance, I found myself in an ocean... \*End Of The Cave\* The Ocean Day ?- Asher’s Story I've been swimming for hours... and so have they, the sharks. They’ve finally caught up to me. They have started to attack. I only have a few minutes left, but I have noticed something strange. on the side of the sharks there are three letters, CAP. What does this mean? This is the end of me. \*End Of Asher\* Captain’s Log Day 12 I woke to a start. I found myself in a field under the open orange and green sky and so is he, The Prophet. “Good” he said. “You found the first step to unlocking your memories.” “Yes” I replied, “but what does it mean?” “That’s for you to find out.” He said. He then touched my forehead and then everything went black. End Of Log Yad Eno- Rehsa’s Yrots I like to explore places. It's not like I have anything better to do. Sewers are my favorite because it's nice and quiet down there. I like being underground more than I like being above ground, it's nicer and a little more relaxing. And up until recently I thought I was the only one that liked going down there... Dne Fo Yrtne Yad Owt- Rehsa’s Yrots I'm always alone down there, no one follows me or anything and none of my friends want to go with me. The other day, I was exploring and such when I heard a noise. It was some sort of sloshing noise. This surprised me of course because no one comes down there, but none the less I continued my day... Dne Fo Yrtne Yad Eerht- Rehsa’s Yrots I keep hearing that noise, almost like someone's following me. The more I hear it, the more I feel like I'm being chased. I've decided to go home. As soon as I began to go home, and ungodly shrieking began for the sloshing sped up. I began to sprint through the tunnels. I only look back once and what I saw was truly terrifying. It was a Hound. A huge black one. It's hair was shaggy and trailed behind it through the muck and filthy water that came from the city up above. It chased me all the way to my manhole covering that led to my cul-de-sac. When I got out it also got out, it turned into a man wearing all black just standing on the man hole covering. I ran inside. My parents weren’t home that day because they were out at dinner . He must have stood there for about 3 hours before my parents got home. Once they made it inside, I explained the situation. They called the police, but by the time the police had arrived, he was gone. A few days after the incident occurred, I revisited the site where he stood for so long, and on the manhole covering the word “SEWER” changed into “TA”.I don't understand what this means. I live in fear now, I see him everywhere. I'm beginning to question if this is some sort of coping method or if I'm actually seeing him. \*Dne Fo Rehsa\* (Note: Rehsa disappeared under mysterious circumstances a few days later) Captain’s Log Day 13 I woke with a start once again. All I could see was static, but it was the normal world. There were shapes of things, but at the same time there weren't. It was like everything blended in but also stood out. Once again, The Prophet congratulated me for finding yet another key to my memories. I asked him where we were and he replied The 5th Dimension. I shuddered. I had heard the 5th Dimension, otherwise known as the darkness realm, was a hellish landscape infested with a number of maniacal things. Just as I was trying to remember more about the dimension. A nightmarish creature that looks like a swirling mass between a rabbit, Eagle, dolphin, dear, and other unknown creatures charged at us. I began to flinch, but then once again The Prophet tapped my forehead and I was plunged into darkness. End Of Log \*\*\*\*Known Dimensions\*\*\*\* is there an infinite number of Dimensions, but to LOGS knowledge there are only five. First off, the sand realm. Everything, including you, is made out of sand. Entire cities and even more are entirely made of sand. The second is the mirror Dimension. Basically, it's an infinite House of mirrors. If you get trapped here, you will most likely die. They're creatures that reflect all light and can travel through mirrors. These creatures will hunt you down until you are eradicated. The only way to escape the dimension is by finding the cracked mirror. The third dimension is the world we currently reside in. It's our normal Dimension and it doesn't have many dangers. The 4th Dimension will transport you into a random place in the past or the future. The only way to get transported there is unknown. Many speculate that portals of some sort have a part in the transport, but no one actually knows. The 5th Dimension, also known as the darkness realm, is one of the worst and most confusing Dimensions. Everything is made of what looks like TV static. Everything is dangerous in this Wasteland. Only two known beings have made it out alive. This is a chaotic dimension. There are many more dimensions, but these are some of the most well-known. \*End Of Known Dimensions\* MEYMNAWOD Note: All of what you are about to read has been translated from Yaso. I used to live in a house, it was a large house in a nice location. There's a creek nearby, lots of Wildlife, and it was in the middle of a clearing in the forest. It was a normal house and it was a very big house. Sometimes it got a little lonely, but when there was company, it wasn't the kind that you wanted... The guests were fleeting shadows in the woods at night. At first I just dismissed it as my imagination or maybe I hadn't gotten enough sleep the night before. Oh how I wish that's what it turned out to be... The first encounter was deeply unsettling. I've been out in the shed all day woodworking. I was making all sorts of different of wood things. It was getting dark so I decided to call it a night... All is normal for a while. I ate dinner, shower, all of that. It was when I was getting ready to go to bed, when I heard an inhuman streak all around me. It was deafening. This went on until I temporarily went deaf. I don't know how much time that was because I passed out... When I woke up, there was a thumping coming from upstairs. THUMP THUMP THUMP. I grab my shotgun conveniently hanging on the wall, loaded it and slowly crept up the stairs. There was a strange Red Trail leading up to the bedroom. Was it blood? I crept closer to the door. THUMP THUMP THUMP! The thumping grew louder with every step. THUMP THUMP THUMP! The door was cracked open. I leaned in slowly pushed it open. The thumping was definitely coming from here... The room looked normal. I looked out the window and there it was. A dead deer that had been decapitated now hung by its hind legs. It was being pushed by the wind crashing against the window, so that's what the thumping was.I vomited at the sight of it. I was beginning to wonder how it had gotten there when I heard a little girl laugh. The laugh was coming from behind me... I slowly turned my head and there she was. She had long dark hair that went below her shoulders. She wore stark white robes that stood out against the dark wall behind her. Worst of all, she had a deer skull for a face. The Laughing increased and then she slowly faded away. NAOEEYFNODD WOYMFWAMOTD Since that encounter, I've been hearing and seeing strange things. They speak in a language I can't understand. I see odd apparitions here and there. But at night, is when they are most active. I'm trapped in a dream world. They can control what I do and I'm confined to live in this house in the surrounding Woods. I'm losing sanity. All I can do while I work work is carve out faces screaming in wretched pain. I put these wooden statues around the house and it seems to scare off the spirits a little. The dead deer are steadily appearing around or in my house. The smell is unbearable. NAOEEYFNODD WOYMFWAMOTD In this house there is a small, but extensive library. And in this Library, there is a book on the family that used to live in the house before I did. I believe this will explain everything. And in the book I found the family tree. I believe the family all killed each other. They did this because of a dispute over a prize-winning buck. I believe their Spirits now haunt this house in the surrounding area. NAOEEYFNODD WOYMFWAMOTD The only way to escape this dream reality is to dance around a fire with the spirits and chant the reverse spell. NAOEEYFNODD WOYMFWAMOTD The day has come, tonight I escape. The time has come. The fire is burning. The spirits have come. LALNKMAANKW LALNKMAANKW LALNKMAANKW WALK MAN MAN WALK MAN MAN WALK MAN MAN I've been transported into a desert I have named INS. The chant has worked and I am free. \*NNKWTDAALEFNMMAHOE\* Captain’s Log Day 14 This time I woke slowly... I remember everything. What the plan is, where Jah is... My real name. My real name is Cap-Ta-Ins. And I was sent to save or destroy the planet Zing by any means necessary... End Of Log Cap-Ta-Ins LOG Day 15 Jah Is trapped in the 5th Dimension. If I fufill my mission, the world ends, if I don't the universe ends. It's an easy Choice. The lives of millions compared to the billions upon trillions. The planet Zing is a relatively small planet. Lately, it's been in many interdimensional wars. There's not much trust around here. The climate of Zing fluctuates with what's the color of the sky. It's a swirling mass of orange and green. When it's swirling, the temperature is 79 degrees Fahrenheit. When the sky is orange, it's very cold. When the sky is green, it's extremely hot . The flora here is a variety of colors. They can be normal or inverted depending on the sky. Usually everything here slowly turns from one color to another. The fauna out here is composed of fish that fly in the sky. Birds that swim in the water. And lizard-like creatures that can create invisible walls and spin web-like homes within those walls. I will formulate my plan tomorrow. End Of Log Cap-Ta-Ins LOG Day 16 I have made my choice. I'm going to kill Jah. It's the only way to save the universe. I need to formulate a plan. End Of Log Cap-Ta-Ins LOG Day 17 LOG Has hidden Jah in The 5th Dimension, he is going insane as I write this. Once he is released, we need to somehow expose what's inside of him. I believe I can use Trognog and Silverstein's abilities to do so. The Prophet May prove to be an issue later on because his loyalty lies with Jah. There's been rumors as of late that The Prophet has the key to bringing back Jah. The Prophet Must Die... End Of Log Cap-Ta-Ins LOG Day 18 We will be able to destroy The Prophet by putting him in a trance-like state using Silverstein's strange hat and then turning him into stone with Trognog’s abilities, Then we will destroy the statue... Tomorrow is the day... End Of Log Cap-Ta-Ins LOG Day 19 Today is the day... Trognog and Silverstein are completely on my side. We have full control. LOG’s objective will soon be complete. Using their abilities, we can increase our chances of success tenfold. Trognog Controls an army of stone that he created back when he was Trognog the Destroyer. He is now Trognog the Peaceful , but is willing to return back to his old ways to help LOG. Silverstein will prove to be valuable by lending his strange aluminum crown to the cause. he will be the one using it because he has the most knowledge and control over it. Most of the skills are unknown to me, but I do not doubt him. We must prepare... \*Some Time Passes\* We've been preparing for hours. This is going to be one of the hardest things we will ever do. We must get him now. I will describe what happened today, tomorrow if we survive. End of Log Cap-Ta-Ins LOG Day 20 Awful things have happened... Never in my life have I witnessed the death of a thousand Souls at once. Many lives were lost including that of my comrades. We could have never predicted the level of mass destruction that occurred that day. Yesterday, Trognog, Silverstein, and I invited The Prophet out to a field. He believed we were going to discuss the plague, but in reality this is when we were going to make our move. The plan should have been foolproof. Because of one mistake I lost the lifes of all my comrades... As I've written about before, Silverstein's strange crown will temporarily immobilize a new user while I'm unlocking the knowledge of the crown. That was our plan, we believed that The Prophet had never put it on, but we were mistaken. When we placed it on him he said “My friends, why would you try this?” Then he grew 100’s of feet taller and cloned himself into an army. There were hundreds, possibly even thousands. Thankfully, we had Trognog on our side. Trognog Commanded his army to attack. They charged with the force of a small earthquake (or should it be Zingquake?). The Prophets did not react. They gathered miles away, the monsters we once knew as our friend now smiled psychotically... Waiting for the slaughter to begin. For reasons unknown, The Prophets Allowed the Stone Army to hack and slash at their legs, this actually did ruin a good portion of the beast, but that's when he chose to attack. Stars of the darkest night flew from the prophets bodies, obliterating all in their path. In an instant the Army was destroyed. One of the Giant Prophets then charged our Group. His arm beganto morph into a sharp point. just before it was about to hit us, Silverstein jumped in the way of Trognog and I. The Prophet Stopped short, then slowly picked one of the black stars off of his body and created a portal and thrust Silverstein and into it. Trognog And I found ourselves to become paralyzed and forced to watch our friend become part of the sand from the First Dimension. The Prophet Then turn towards Trognog. Once again pulled a Blackstar off of his body, created a portal and thrust Trognog into it. this time the dimension was the 2nd Dimension Also known as the mirror dimension. At first Trognog tried to find his way out, slowly going down every passageway, every Twist and Turn, but it was all the same. He stopped for a brief rest when suddenly, one of the reflective creatures attacked.Trognog destroyed it with one blow, its body shattering into millions of pieces. He began to continue his journey when the pieces began to move. Slow at first, but then quicker. They were the smashed pieces of the larger creature. They crawled all over him biting, stinging, and driving while doing so. That's when Trognog lost it, he began to brush the tiny things off, but he was in a confined spot and being the giant he is, hit the walls all around him with his massive fist. At first the sound was quiet, but then it grew louder and louder and louder. The maze was cracking. Huge chunks of glass crashed down on him. The screams were terrible. It was not a quick death. The Prophet turned towards me and said “ I'm sorry it had to be this way, but it was the only way. I must join them now with you coming only shortly after. Goodbye Cap-Ta-Ins.” and with that he began to fade away, but not before saying “ take this key and return to the Gate.” he handed me a key and finally disappeared. I'd never felt like this before. Sure I had lost my parents and other family and the second war, but this was different. Upon closer inspection of the key I have found it to be spiraled at the end. It also has a number 7 on it or the gate it corresponds with. I found myself to also be fading. I was transported to the Garden of the seventh gate. Back to Where it All Began. On the gate there was a keyhole that looked like a flower with the symbol first second third Zing fourth fifth. I inserted the spiral key in Twisted to the symbol. The portal change from what looked like a mist to what now look like television static. I heard a big boom and that's when I saw him. The broken God, Jah. He looked the same, but something just felt off. He was insane... Jah Spoke softly like a Lost Child would and he said “ have you made your choice?” As he grew to his actual size. “Yes” I replied. “But was it the right choice?” He asked. “Yes” I replied. “Everything is going to change now, you know that correct?” He said. “Yes” I replied. “Very well, you know what to do.” He spoke. As he said this, a black star descended from him and gently touched me. ‘‘Become the True Last Prophet and fulfill your destiny.” And with that you banished. The plague is still out there, but I have made my choice and will become The Prophet.
