Stress

Nothing is going right at the moment.

The Artefact is gone. The pages have disappeared. My Master has fallen ill.

I don't know what to do.

Discipline

Shortly after my last post, I was studying in a secret facility with three of my trusted helpers. We were assaulted by a man in a Soul Mask and the Artefact was taken.

He knocked me unconscious. He was extremely well prepared and a skilled fighter. I saw no Reader, so we are not assuming that he was working for ZEdobElFZGxiblJzWlcxaGJnPT0= but he did reek of Mist... We think it was a cover.

I have been disciplined and my three helpers are dead.

If I ever see him again I will make sure I kill him for what he has done. It is the right thing to do.

The Sphere

Finally I get a chance to update again.

I've been running around a lot lately and been very busy. I won't be able to start posting pages again until Thursday and I have my hands on that related Artefact.

It it a perfect sphere with lines all around it. It was found in a box covered in Theurgic inscriptions and traps. Explosive Runes. Always annoying. We got it open after about a week of trials and a lot of pain. My left leg is still bandaged up, but it's healing fine. Burns won't keep me down for long, especially with the type of bandage we used to numb the pain.

It is about the size of a football (a soccer ball, for those of you in America) and is made of iron and bronze, but is very light. Surprisingly light. It doesn't feel empty, either, just light.

We've been studying it, but it doesn't seem to open. Something is missing. Maybe there is a key we need?

And to those who have asked: My Master has no family that I know of. Or, at least, he doesn't talk of any family. I think the name is just a coincidence. Mason is a common name, after all.

Still Alive

Just a quick update.

I got home to London, went to bed, woke up, and then there was an earthquake.

I helped my Master clean up and deal with people.

The public needs protection from Theurgic accidents that big.

Leaving Again

No page 3 because they have uncovered something else in the Grand Library that my Master wants me to check out. I'll be gone for at least a week.

Apparently there is something besides these 10 pages I have that have to do with this. I'll return with more news soon enough.

I'd update while I was away, but Theurgy-proofing my laptop once was hard enough and moving it would undo all my work.

Page 002

Here is the new page.

The leaf shape in the middle on the original is hypnotising. It is the darkest of blacks but it doesn't stain through the page. It doesn't look drawn or filled... It just is. I just drew the outline as I don't feel I could replicate it.

The eye shape with the long lashes is also more symmetrical in the original drawing. I'm not a very good artist.

I would also like to apologise as I made a mistake on page 1. The first symbol on the lower set of symbols is upside down. It should look more like a u than an n. I am very sorry if this has confused anyone.

Page 001

The first page can be found here.

The symbol on the right is the Ignis symbol and the one on the left is the Terra symbol. Those symbols are used quite a bit in Theurgic rituals. This has something to do with Earth and Fire Theurgy.

Everything else is odd.
