======Caliban====== ===== Travels of a Believer ===== Day 0: Saying goodbye to everyone at the Sanctuary, packing my things, excited to go on out on this new adventure! The Deep One awaits us Day 1: Set off with Impetus and Carneades on the S.S. Superkitty. You're not 100% sure of the direction, but you have faith that the Deep One will guide you down the right path. Day 5: So... this desert is pretty big. Not too much going on here either. Impetus and Carneades have been playing Risk for half the journey so far. You would join them, but the job of a navigator is not an easy one, onward! Day 10: Out of the desert, onto the great plains. An excellent turn of events. You decide to spend the day at a small local village, making friends with the populace and handing out pamphlets. Day 30: Been a while since the last update, but that's cause the plains is very big. Been smooth sailing from the kitty though, you're hopeful to see some mountains soon. Day 46: There it is, in the distance, a tall and magnificent mountain. This must be it, this must be your temple. Day 80: Wow, that mountain was a lot further away than you realised. More than 30 days of full speed from the S.S. super kitty and you've only just made it. Well, time to start the climb! Day 100: What a perfect time to reach the top of the mountain, day 100. There is no grand, magnificent temple here, perhaps destroyed by the elements. Instead, there is a just a ruined building. However, the floor is scattered with artefacts you assume must have great meaning to the Deep One. Day ???: You and Carneades spent a few days collecting Deep One artefacts to place in a church before moving back down the mountain with Impetus. You're not too sure what will await you when you head down, or even if you will remain with Carneades or Impetus, but you look forward to what's out there. You know there's more Deep One artefacts to be unearthed, and you shall make them available for the whole world to see. ===== An Old Friend ===== It's the week of Freedom. It's time to bring him back. I cast a spell on your leg to replace it with a remarkable Gryphon's leg and it feels better than ever. However, that was just a test. This is what I really care about, bringing your old friend back. I place your cold, metal sword on the ground. I close your eyes, and think back to memories I don't think you have anymore, I just feel them. When I open them again, I'm greeted by a familiar voice. "Haha, I knew you couldn't stay without me for long!" the sword speaks in that charismatic voice that sparks so much joy. "Oh.. it's really you." tears of joy start forming in my eyes. It's been so long. "You didn't think you could keep me away forever now did you?" Spellanor says in their gleeful tone. I wipe away my tears. "Ha, of course not, I always knew you'd be back. Do I have a lot to catch you up on." I think about hugging Spellanor, but given they're a sharp sword... I think twice. "I look forward to it! One question, where the hell are we?" Spellanor swivels around in your hand to take in your surroundings. I only now realise I'm in the middle of nowhere, travelling between settlements to spread the word of the Deep One. "Oh yeah, I'm kinda a prophet now. More so than I ever was in the past. Spreading the word of the Deep One to those who need them the most." I sit down to reflect. It's blurry, but the emotions from my past are still there. People need the Deep One, and I shall help them open themselves to the great Cthulu. "Well well well, we haven't got anytime to waste then! Let us continue this glorious mission!" Spellanor points in a direction. I get up and follow where they pointed. I can't wipe the smile off my face all day. It's good to have them back. ===== Church of the Deep One ===== It's the new Sanctuary, five years after the Week of Freedom. Construction of the Deep One Cathedral finished a year ago. It is now one of the grandest, most luxirious buildings in the Sanctuary, reigning tall over most other buildings. It is also fully staffed by believers, and one day they're handing out pamphlets. "The Deep One believes in you, hear them speak and you will be enlighted!" One staff member says, fully donned in Deep One garb. "You sir, with the... Eagle leg? Would you like a pamphlet" Another asks towards a civilian just entering the Sanctuary. The figure smiles and takes the pamphlet, heading towards the church. "Thank you very much fellow agents of chaos!" comes from the mysterious man as he walks away, although the two staff members would swear it was coming from his beautiful sword instead.
