The Lost Journal. Part 6.

Extract from the journal of Dr Headonious Burro of Miskatonic University

Saturday 8th May 1907

2am – Ruttenberg & Vestel are on defence. Poor Professor Vestel sobs continually and I don’t know which is driving Professor Ruttenberg to distraction more, her stifled sobs, AMAT soothing voice and its continual counting or the impenetrable silence from the jungle beyond the reach of our torches. I distract myself by studying the foul statue poor Professor McMillan died to secure. The base is covered in strange, squirming carved characters… most queer…

4am – After hours of struggling I have cracked it! The breakthrough came but half an hour ago when I noticed that certain characters on the base could be depressed in a sequence. With the last one, the statue’s eyes glowed an evil red and the whole thing began to give off a strange, almost electric green aura. AMAT’s eyes swivelled to me and I swear she smiled as she said: “Read from The Blessed Book. Release Our Lord.” With that, a previously hidden hinged section of the base creaked open and revealed a book wrapped in what I hate to think may be human skin. I shall study this strange find further… maybe AMAT can be of some assistance in translation.

7am – I write this under the blessed green glow of my most magnificent Lord. Oh how wrong I have been. How stupid and blind. The others deserved to die for being the fools they were. We came here to deny him, instead I have rediscovered him. Woken him. K’TooLoo is awake! AMAT showed me the true path and the Sacred Words from The Book, so sweet in her metallic throat, moved inside my skull like the caress of a returned loved one. I must share this truth with Ruttenberg and Vestel. They must help me open the final seal at the dig. They must help me release our Lord so he can once more take his rightful throne above us.

Noon – The fools! This is to be my last entry. No one is left to stop me. They tried, but I fought them off. They were unworthy. They were not fit to gaze upon Him and His Greatness! Vestel was first. Imploring me to stop, begging me to destroy His image and His Word. I used His image to cave her skull in, her eyes full of numb shock as she died at my feet. Ruttenberg was fast. His damn pistol skills! He got a round off. I can feel it in my gut, my trousers are dark with my own blood… and his. I ran him through with one of the native’s spears as he reloaded. He is stood, pinned to the earth, testament to our folly in denying the truth. I am dying. I will be happy to die in His service, but I have one last task… the final seal must be broken. Leviathan is free, but Our Lord remains dead but dreaming below.
