Excommunication.

So... Um...

Hi guys.

I'm sure you noticed the... Er last few posts...

I'd like to apologize for... That. As you can probably guess I'm back to my senses now...

Genome got me back...

My memory is a little fuzzy but shortly after my last post I know me and Gwen- Er... I mean the woman who gave me the mask. We went to Dreslith's headquarters of sorts... Or more accurately the place The Truthseekers were using as their base. It was a movie theater... I'm not sure if that's ironic or not. So, They'd found the others and we were readying to attack. Me and Gwen leading them in battle against my own allies.

We waited till night and then attacked.The gang was taking refuge in a hotel and we busted in. Some of the purple masks rushed in while me and Gwen waited outside. It wasn't long before the sound of fighting started from inside. Shortly after one of the purple masks came flying out of a window followed by a flock of birds. More of the purple masks had been ready for this. They had guns and took aim shooting down the birds. Eventually with us covering all the windows the fighting began to move down. It stopped at the doors. After a few moments the doors opened but no one was there. Then a bunch of guns pointed out from the sides of the doors and began firing at us. Special masks with riot shields moved in the way and advanced towards the doors with the others following behind. They forced their way in and the fight began in earnest. Or should I say the slaughter. At close range inside the building Megan's powers under Genome's control and Faceless's birds made quick work of the enemies. That done the birds rushed out. Gunfire erupted and Faceless emerged from the mass of birds and began attacking madly. This was what I was waiting for. I signaled to Gwen and she and I rushed forward. I engaged Faceless while Gwen went in in the confusion to take down Harold and Genome. I caught Faceless' hand during a downward slash and pulled him towards me a I delivered a stomach rupturing punch to his gut. He staggered back and I delivered another punch to his face which was a mistake. The punch went through his mask and into his lack of a face. A bird was within and bit my hand badly. I retreated and Faceless attacked with a weak slash that barely grazed my arm. I fell back and prepared for further combat.

"You sent your allies to be slaughtered just to draw us out. What kind of a monster are you?" Faceless asked with contempt.

"Really. You, the Faceless Bastard, are lecturing me on the value of life? That's funny. Although in answer. They are not dying they are being freed. You shall be freed next."

Faceless stopped. "M... Muffin? Is that you?"

"It was. Now I am the leader of the Truth Seekers."

"I'm not going to kill you Muffin."

"Don't call me Muffin it's a stupid name!" I charged him and suddenly Genome was in front of me. I stopped and her hand slammed into my mask with far more force then Megan's body should have had. It knocked me to the ground and she held me down by the face. She began to freeze the mask and though normally I'm immune to Megan's freezing touch this time it hurt like hell. It wasn't freezing my body it was freezing my mind. The mask finally shattered and a peaceful numbness enveloped me. I fell asleep.

I woke up a few days ago. Apparently Harold had defeated Gwen and had been about to kill her when Dreslith appeared and she disappeared in the confusion. The rest of the Truth Seekers were killed.

So that's what's been happening,,, I told the others what had happened to The Liar... They were pretty upset... So was I. We're going after Dreslith now and I am going to do far worse then just kill him after what he put me through.

The World of Lies.

I searched through forests, I searched through deserts, I searched the skies, I searched the seas.

I found them but never did.

This world is mad. Nothing is true. All is illusion. We are trapped within it. The true world is out there while we wallow in this lie. But knowing the truth we can break free. We can take control of this illusion and destroy it. We can break through to the real. I have joined with the others. The others who know the truth. We are the Seekers of Truth. We serve Truth and we will destroy the lies. The Masks show how close we are too the truth. Me and The Woman are closest. We shall lead the others in their war against the lies. Together we shall find Truth.

The Dreams were trying to lead me to Truth all along. I should have paid more attention.

Hide and Seek

Apparently finding them is harder than I thought it would be.

I've been searching for some time.

I'm sure they're still in the city I just can't find them. Weird stuff has been happening too. In my dreams horrible monsters are attacking me and my friends. There's a guy with a skeletal face, A hole in space and some horrible arachnid creature. I'm fighting them trying to protect my friends and then suddenly the entire world just shatters and all my friends turn into like shadow versions of themselves and begin to disappear like they're being eaten by something. After that there's just these hands. One red hand and a white hand clapping in mid air. After that these creatures just pop out of the ground. There was this twisted... Thing on a tongue, A preacher guy, that monster I saw in... No after my first dream, A hand just sticking out of the ground... It was like made of crystal, A broken knight, An ethereal woman and one who looked perfectly normal. It was just this teen girl but for some reason she scared me the most. I was all alone facing these monsters... Then I woke up. I woke up to see a woman kneeling in front of me. She had on a mask like those crazy people who attacked earlier. I tried to jump to my feet but she was quicker. She grabbed my shoulders and pulled me back down to a kneeling position like herself. Her mask wasn't entirely purple. The others all had entirely purple masks. Her's had just a single purple stripe on the side. She let go of me and I stayed kneeling. She pulled a mask out of thin air. It was mostly purple with a single white stripe. An inversion of hers. She placed it on my face and then disappeared.

I'm not sure what this means.

It doesn't matter anyways.

I still have only one goal.

Find and kill Sergei.

Success

So, after a short amount of time journeying with the others we were attacked by some crazy people in purple masks. I have no idea what's going on but these guys were prepared. They all had weapons and just began destroying these crazy people. However one of them attacked me and I fled. You'd think being separated from the others would suck but it's while I was trying to find my way back I found her.

I saw May. She saw me too. She ran up to me with relief. She thought I was this Muffin person too. She was babbling. "Muffin?! I'm so happy to see you. My powers... The Dying Man didn't last. I'm human again. I need more of that stuff to regain my powers. I know you weren't too happy about it last time but Dreslith is here. If I can get my powers again I can stop him and then I can get my powers back permanently from him. I can stop this. All of this. I might even be able to help against Jack. I just need you to help me kill another one of their servants. Please just one." She was looking at me expectantly. See? Complete nonsense.

I raised a fist. "You killed Portnoy and now you want me to help you?" She looked surprised.

May: Portnoy? I didn't kill him. Muffin what the hell are you talking about?

Me: Don't lie. Sergei sent me the tapes. I know what you did.

May: Sergei? You mean Faceless? That doesn't make any sense? What the hell is- Oh... Dreslith got you! Muffin... Nathan I can help you just calm down and give me a second. Just listen to-

I punched her then. In the stomach and she stopped talking. She fell to her knees and retched. It's funny. I set out on a trip to murder someone and it never even crossed my mind to get a weapon. Somehow I just knew my fists would be enough. Seemed I was right.

May: Ugh... Nathan please...

I hit her again an uppercut to the face. I heard her jaw break as her head flung backwards and she fell onto her back. I reached down and lifted her by the shirt and hit her again. I think I broke her nose that time. She was still making sounds so I hit her again... And again... And again until the sounds stopped. I dropped her lifeless body.

Portnoy was avenged but now I needed to avenge Megan. May had said that Faceless was Sergei... If that's true...

Looks like I should go looking for my new friends again.

Meeting

While searching Boston I ran into some strange people. The first one I ran into... It was Megan... Sort of.

It was a really young Megan who was very pale and had pitch black eyes. She seemed surprised to see me. She called me Muffin and asked me where the hell I'd been. I told her and she seemed confused. At this point the other two showed up. One looked like my boss, Harold. The other was some guy in a mask. They all seemed to know me but other than the strange resemblance they had to the people I'd known I didn't know any of them. After some discussion they seemed to realize I wasn't who they thought I was and they introduced themselves. The Megan one said her name was Genome. Harold said his name was Harold. The masked man introduced himself as The Faceless Bastard.

Huh... Didn't one of my dreams mention a Faceless Bastard?

I told them I was looking for May and they exchanged a glance. Genome then told me that they were sort of looking for her too.

So I'm now travelling with this strange group.

Oh they also told me the reason Boston is empty is because of the influence of something called The Ne Timu. They wouldn't tell me more... I have a feeling my dreams mentioned that word too... 

Dreams

I keep having them. Always the same dreams. Always voices talking to me. There were new voices this time a girl and a guy. The guy asked if I was awake and the girl said something about getting in touch with reality... I don't know. I'm awake now but when I'm asleep is when I feel awake... It's strange.

I'm in Boston now. The place seems almost empty... Well no... More than that. It seems deserted. I remember on the news feed there were people everywhere. It's like the entire city was just deserted since that video. Maybe whatever the news report was actually about could shed some light on what happened. Wish I'd paid more attention. I hope May's still here...

I promised not to post anymore.

Because of me Megan is dead. Sergei killed her. I said I wouldn't go after May as long as she was alive and so he killed her. I don't know why he wants me to get May, but now... Now I'm going to kill both of them.

Portnoy and Megan... I'm not going to let anyone else die by the hands of these two psychopaths.

I went out to talk to Maless about another dream. It was the same dream. Except it was telling me Megan was dead... I guess it was sort of prophetic though the rest of what it said made no sense. It's not important though. The love of my life is dead. I returned back to find her in the bedroom. She was gutted and her eyes removed. Her hands were obviously moved after her death so that they appeared to be pulling her ribcage open. It... It was terrible. There was a note as well... "Now nothing exists to hold you back. Get your vengeance."

It didn't say it was Sergei but I just know that it is. He gave me the tape, he told me about May's departure... He has to be the one behind this.

Once May is dealt with I'm going to skin him. No I'll do worse then that. He butchered Megan... I'll butcher him. I'll make it slow. I'll skin him alive and then feed him his own skin. I'll break every bone in his body one by one. I'll find some way to make his pain last as long as possible. I will break him and make him beg for death. Only once I am satisfied will I let him die.

I'm breaking my promise not to post anymore to make sure he knows what he's done. I want him to know what awaits him. You got that Sergei? You have what you wanted. I'm going to kill May but after that you're next.
