    Entry 58 I am blessed. While I have chosen to ignore her… suggestion… to cease my research, the Queen has revitalized me with purpose. To know my charge with such clarity is a divine offering. I alone have been receiving communications from the affectionately named Lighthouse. Not ...

    ...death and study. For their fear of his revelations, they cast him out. The laity nodded in agreement, and Faora continued.

    ...lver-blood float away from your body. Empty. Empty. Empty. --- I am the Speaker who witnesses the end of the world. Through it all, I am overwhelmed by torrents of sharp, static images, sometimes so fast and constant that I can't see or hear. The Traveler is babbling: telling me ev...

    Waking

    I am the first Speaker to see a Ghost. The way we tell it, after the Collapse, the Traveler cut itself into a thousand tiny pieces and sent them out into the world. These tiny pieces are drawn to me, and to others like me, like moths. The first time I saw them, I thought they were s...

    Longing

    I am the first Speaker to be taken prisoner. The greatest surprise isn't being captured; it's being captured by a Dreg. In the end, when they drag me, tied and bound, into a damp cave miles out from my settlement, it's three Dregs. I look around for a Kell or a Priest—someone in ...

    Singing

    I am the first Speaker to never dream. At least, I think that's true. In the days following the Collapse, any Speakers who survived were scattered to the wind, traveling with groups of refugees across the ruined wasteland that Earth became. Aside from the man who taught me, I've ...

    Somewhere, the other tiny star is calling out. You try to answer, but it cannot hear you. Not without help. You want to help, but you are paralyzed. Your limbs are crushed and your heart beats so slowly. You've never known weakness so intimately as you do now. You can only wait. -...

    You are waiting for something to happen. You are suspended and weightless, but so heavy in your heart. You have a child's voice: quiet, easily lost in a crowd. You try to shout and be heard, but there is only one little star in a sea of thousands that can hear you. It only understands ...

    Taniks didn't announce himself. Didn't say a word. Just laughed a few times and tried like hell to kill us all. But we knew it was him. The stories matched the story, ya know? Which meant the boogeyman had a face—the boogeyman was REAL. We could hunt real. We could track real. We ...

    Suffering

    Something terrible is going to happen. In this dream, a horrible, brutal hand stretches toward you. But this is not the old enemy you know, it is something new. Something that hopes to use you more than it hopes to destroy you, but it's willing to settle for either. The cage is w...

    ... You may. Osiris stands. Stay. Osiris halts. He turns toward the Speaker; the Light of the Traveler washes against the bone-white hue of his mask. Is something needed? There is so much activity in the City. I feel it has been too long since we last spoke. Osiris hangs silent. He l...
