Week 9
In my travels around Eodon, I heard stories of the city of the World-Builders. While the passage at the top of the Pyramid was sealed, I found a crack near the base of the structure. As I shimmied into the narrow tunnel, I disturbed a stone that was holding up a wall. While I was able to avoid injury, the collapse blocked my way out of the Pyramid. With only a single torch, I started my exploration of the lost city. The city was filled with the bones and dried remains of different creatures. I recognized human and Myrmidex remains, but in all my time in Eodon, I saw nothing that matches the bipedal reptile skeletons in the tunnels. Are these what remain of the World-Builders? In the entire ruined city, only one large crystal had not been smashed when the city fell. The vibrant crystal gave off a shifting spectrum of light, and the air around it was charged with energy. It was hypnotic, and with no other choice, I put my hand against it. The light of the crystal became brighter and brighter. Even when my hand started to burn, I could not pull myself away. I heard a voice in my mind, speaking rapidly in a strange language. As I lost consciousness, one word stuck in my mind: Zipactriotl. I woke in a burning jungle clearing. Around me were dead or dying Myrmidex, and my hands were burning with a strange blue flame. I did not remember slaughtering those creatures, but I knew I had. The tribes had a saying, "Killing one Myrmidex brings the wrath of its thousand kin." How much wrath have I earned by killing so many?
Week 10
I am different now. My bones have reshaped themselves, and my skin is like armor. There is a charge of energy around me, constantly buzzing in my ears. I am blacking out more and more, and I am losing more and more of myself. With the changes, hidden parts of the city now allow me access. I have found what appears to be a sort of stasis chamber. I will put myself inside and hope someone can help me.
