there is descriptions of BLOOD and GORE and CANNIBALISM BEWARE

//

my top priority should be findin my communicator .. anyone else trapped in ' ere will be rescued as well .

walking through a door leading out of the kitchen , i found myself in what looked like an apple - themed waitin room . this is odd ... what the hell do ya need a waiting room for ?

...

i couldn ' t get the sound of crying outta my ears . even though i was far away from where i first heard it , i felt ... guilty .

did i really do the right thing ?

is what i ' m doing ... right ?

it echoed in my brain . it gets louder and louder . gripping onto my ears , i desperately tried to get the noises out of my head .

" just - stop it ! i ' m doin everything i possibly can .. !! " 

my feet stumbled over themselves amidst my panic , however , i was able to quickly catch myself on the apple - themed lamp .

click ..

the lamp made a noise . despite my fear that i broke it , rumblin sounds coming from the wall made me aware that the lamp was designed to be a switch .

i was met with a hole in the wall where the painting once stood . normally , i would use m ' magic to detect any traps or triggers , but seein ' as i don ' t got any of that now ...

hesitantly , i crawled through the tight space .

...

......

i paused my movement , hearing some peculiar noises from the other side of here .

sloshing , chewing , animalistic noises , tearin into ... something .

'' oh , how i MISSED this high ! kehehehehe ... ''

... asta ?

'' kehhehehehe ... ahahahah ... i - i know i shouldn ' t , but ... maybe just a feeeww more bites ! ~ ''

'' it makes the feeling last longer , after all ! ehehehehehehehee ... ''

flesh . blood . the smell was so strong , it filled m ' senses even from all the way back here . 

'' i feel ... so refreshed ... so perfect ! bless the beginners for re - invigorating my soul ! ''

bless the beginners ... ?

asta wasn ' t eatin ' some sorta meat pie ... he was eating a magical being WHOLE . radia n all , from the sounds of it . 

laughter reverberated throughout the entire building ... 

'' oh dearie me , what a mess ! i gotta clean this all up before i see my love again ... ehehehe - i wouldn ' t wanna scare him ! ''

a little too late for that , pal .

...

silence . asta must ' ve left to clean himself up . with that , i continued crawling my way through , feelin more uneasy than before . 

...

a secret room with a lone file cabinet in the middle .

....

there could be useful information in there . i have to look through it .

rummagin through the file cabinet , i found some peculiar notes ...

---

FROM THE BEGINNING , THERE WERE SEVEN HOLDERS OF MAGIC . THE HOLDERS OF FIRE , WATER , LAND , ARTISANS , WAR , MIND AND HEART . THESE BEINGS WERE CALLED THE BEGINNERS .

THE BEGINNERS HELD IMMENSE POWER , AND PAVED ALL THE WAY FOR MAGICAL BEINGS TO FLOURISH . THEY EVENTUALLY FORMED INTO A GROUP THAT CALLED THEMSELVES ' THE MAGIC COUNCIL ' . 

THEY WERE ABLE TO SPLIT OFF PARTS OF THEMSELVES TO CREATE NEW BEINGS , AND THUS THE SHARING OF MAGICAL ENERGY BECAME KNOWN . 

EVEN WHEN THE BEGINNERS PERISHED , THE COUNCIL MOVED FORTH IN THEIR HONOR . THEIR ENERGY STILL LIVES WITHIN US , AFTER ALL , IN THE FORM OF OUR RADIA .

THE MAGICAL RADIA IS THE MOST POWERFUL PART IN A BEING . HARVESTING THESE RADIA AND ADDING IT TO OUR OWN IS A DIRECT GUARANTEE OF EVERLASTING LIFE .

SO AS LONG AS WE KEEP HARVESTING ,

WE WILL BE EVERLASTING .

there's so much more in ' ere ... but i should be gettin the fuck outta this place ! what am i doing .. ?

...

what should i do ?

///

i didn ' t stop back there , so i shouldn ' t stop now . not with the state i ' m in right now , anyways . once help arrives i ' ll be able to do a much more thorough investigation of this area .

not seein an exit , i slowly crawled back the way i came .

...

......

asta -

WHACK!

...

......

ow - my head ! why ' s it always gotta be the head ?

opening my eyes , i saw a familiar , yet unpleasant sight .

not here again ! asta must ' a knocked me out n dragged me back .

'' oh , darliiiiiiingg !! ~ ''

asta called out for me in his sickeningly sweet voice . i tried t ' open my mouth to speak , but ...

... yeah . A seemed to have plans that don ' t involve me speaking .

'' it ' s just you and me , O ! since you were so adamant on escaping , i wanted to make sure this time you ' d listen to me . ''

'' i love ya , osmosi . i ' m trying to save your life , whether you like it or not , this is the best outcome for you ! ~ '' 

'' the everlasting may seem bad , but trust me , there ' s a TON of things about the council you don ' t know . '' 

muffled groans of protest were all i could do t ' show my disdain . 

'' there ' s things out there they haven ' t even told you - things we ' ve spent countless cycles to dig up ... this goes so , SO much deeper than you thought , dear ! ''

'' it ' s not just a cute guy gone wacko like you think , i ' m truly apologetic for getting so .. carried away . this is life and death here , osmo . i ' ve got a family to protect , and i ' m tryna protect you too . ''

'' i know you ' ve questioned the things they ' ve done before , osmosi ... the things they make YOU do . you ' re a good person with a kind heart . how ... how long have you followed them blindly ? haven ' t cha ever wondered if you were really on the right side ? ''

'' to tell the truth , i know that feeling all too well . but when the time comes ... we have to make a choice . ''

'' what ' ll you choose ? ''
