I begin this journal - which I believe to be my last - in the hope that this is not the end. I hope pray that this is not the end of humanity as we know it and that this journal will aide those who need help in the future.

In 2010 I killed myself died. I was possessed by a demon - of unknown origin - and committed horrific acts. I killed Melissa, my daughter and my wife Sarah in the hope of saving them during my demonic spells. I tried to exorcise the demons... multiple times... with the help of Father Roth. It didn't work. I do not know why. I took my life in September to rid the world of whatever I discovered.

But this was not the end of my story. I did not die. Or so I believed at the time. I was destined to be tormented for the rest of my life. I could not kill myself. I was trapped. But then.... After what seemed an eternity I man I once knew appeared. It was Father Roth. I cannot begin to describe my relief and happiness. After so long... I found a friend I was saved. The pressure from the demons was gone. I cannot explain what happened. I did discover a method to fight the demons. Using my own blood I would paint this:



While painting this symbol you must chant the following;

Quote

Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica... Ergo, draco maledicte et omnis legio diabolica, adjuramus te ... cessa decipere humanas creaturas, eisque æternæ perditionìs venenum propinare... Vade, satana, inventor et magister omnis fallaciæ, hostis humanæ salutis... Humiliare sub potenti manu Dei; contremisce et effuge, invocato a nobis sancto et terribili nomine... quem inferi tremunt... Ab insidiis diaboli, libera nos, Domine. Ut Ecclesiam tuam secura tibi facias libertate servire, te rogamus, audi nos.

It worked as a control mechanism for the demons... I pray that whoever reads this journal does not experience what I went through.

Father Roth explained where we were and what happened. He had died too. Trapped in some maze... it made little sense. We tasked by an entity called Virgil to save the world. Crazy I know. We were in a place known as Purgatorio. We travelled for a long time. We met other deceased souls. A man with no body but a set of armour. A man with nine fingers. Many killed by some butcher.

Then I saw my daughter. On the very swing I built. But it was just an illusion. A figment of my imagination you would say. But it felt real. For that brief moment... Then she disappeared. Gone. Just like that.

Our travels were not without trouble. Creatures of Purgatorio opposed us at every opportunity. Shadows of the darkness. Creatures of pure evil. As we ascend the steps such a creature attacked our group which was significantly smaller by now. I had survived earlier attacks. But not this time. I fell. And now my body and soul, I was dead.

But then, I was reborn.

My Mother once told me my name means "Christ Within". Like him, I have been given a second chance. I now reside in a place known as Sanctuary where Roth has joined me. No evil is here. I am free from the demons which have haunted me. We have another chance to save the world. But this time there is no second chance. This time we must succeed.

Roth has told me we now wait for the right moment to enter the Labyrinth. I am not sure what exactly is the right moment and Roth doesn't seem willing to tell me. From Sanctuary I am able to observe one of the two groups. This one is led by General Chuikov. Society has clearly... changed. Most of these individuals do not seem to understand the importance of our task. Most are also very young and inexperienced and unprepared for what we will have to face. I am not much older then most of them but I feel a thousand years old. What I have gone through is something I would wish on no man, let alone someone of my age.

I will write my observations of the group here. Gabriel seems a man of mystery. He is not revealing all he knows. Kane is a confident man but uses it as a mask to hide his fear. Brittany... I think is on drugs. This is why I am so concerned. How can they be so unprepared? There is even a monkey. I cannot speak on the evolution of monkeys in the past 10 years but to bring a monkey?

The Emperor I am concerned about too. He is related to General Bear. I have met him before... in Purgatorio. He was part of the creatures of darkness. When I first met him he was a coward, a man who cried. Now he leads the army of Willis. The man is truly a magician if he can transform such a man into a General. His niece, Rita is there too. She seems dangerous.

Roth and I have much work to do to shape these individuals into a team which can defeat Willis. I can only hope Roth sees a path for I do not.

I bring exciting news. Roth has informed me that in 2 days time, we shall travel to the Labyrinth and assist the group. They really do need it I fear.

Gabriel disappeared. I can not say I am surprised and I must say this is not the last we have heard of him. The group I am observing is heading North as it is their only exit. The room number is 4853. I will update my journal later of a map. There appears to be a bridge above them which has led me to believe that unlike the Labyrinth Father Roth was in, this one features multiple levels.

That is all for now. May God help us all.

An interesting post by Angela

"It's possible Theseus could be onto something. Three possibilities...
A) This isn't his Labyrinth.
The Labyrinth is changing
C) He's been teleported to a new part of the Labyrinth."

She seems to be intelligent if she has figured out there are two Labyrinths. Soon all will be revealed. Twelve hours Roth says. Twelve hours.

It is time.

It was Father Roth's plan for me to lead the group to the past. How are they not listening to his wishes? It frustrates me greatly that they underestimate the power of Caduceus. It is the Key to Pandora's Box and I am expected to pass it up like we are playing pass the parcel at a five year old's birthday? Nay. This will not happen. I am the guardian of the key, protector of the realm.

I fear they will learn of my past history of being... possessed.

I WANT MY PRECIOUS BACK AND I WANT IT BACK NOW!!!!!!!!!

March 26th 2021

Things have not gone to plan. Not at all.

First Roth disappeared. Then when I tried to execute Roth's plan to have me lead a group into the past, everyone was instantly wary of me. And I saved their lives! This is what people have become in the ten years since I left.

After gaining control of a group... the staff breaks! You cannot believe my horror I thought that was perhaps it. But far from it. I had to get the group to head East to avoid the trap in the North. I have learnt that our first room we were in was some halfway dimension. I will have to watch out for that. After heading East I was sent to the Red Room. I learnt of a task I must complete and on my way back I discovered I had lost the Caduceus! Father Roth will never forgive me.

I believe it is a trick of Willis but a thief is possible. Stealing it would not be a good idea but who knows the intentions of evil doers. I think my redemption path is slowly but surely coming around. It is amazing how much information I have revealed to the group but they have yet to believe me fully.

Time will tell. I will not let you down Roth.

15th April 2012

It has been a while since I last wrote. I just want my staff. The burden of leadership is too much. I need Roth. Please come back.

22nd April 2012

THE STAFF HAS BEEN FOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND THE QUEEN IS EXITING FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets hope she gets transported away. That would be the best thing. She disrupts my power and that is never good.

I must now plot a way to get my staff back. It's my precious. For the time being the sword of Theseus will have to do. I believe I can get the group to give it to me when we find it. Or maybe one of the immortal items.
