SAU 13, 9999
Yes, I know I am mad, but as I lay here, the sun is bright and casting it's light through my window, and the birds are singing their eternal song I almost feel sane. My visions are coming more regularly now and my dark path is set before me now and soon my transformation shall be complete. I have signed dark and dreadful pacts with the foul ones to achieve me goal. With each vision, I feel my mind slipping more and more, there are even times large gaps in my memories. OH BOR! How I fear for the safety of my son Ur-Maxus. My advisors tell of me roaming the halls stark naked, damming Bor at the top of my lungs. They have even hinted that I have slain servants and retainers and then bathe in their blood and writing strange symbols on the wall with their blood. I am so sorry. What have I done! I knew it would cost me my eternal soul, but not my mind. These visions, when they come, show me horrible, atrocious deeds. I have the distinct impression that I am the one committing the deeds in the visions. I wake in the morning and write down what I can remember of them, no matter how painful. These last eight dreams have been the worst. OH LORD WHAT HAVE I DONE! The darkest part I haven't even told Marissa yet. Our oldest son is with THEM now. Demanded of me, as part of the bargain. I had thought that with my power, I would be able to turn the tables on them. But they tricked and deceived me. I fear that is when the visions started to occur. This is the last entry that I shall be able to make. By the setting of the sun the transformation will be complete, I fear both physically and mentally. May the world forgive me, forgive blah, blah, blah may Bor and the world rot for all I care, for I shall be around to see it. Ahh, yes-eternal life, so sweet! I don't care if it is as one of the unclean. This dithering idiot doesn't seem to realize that the so called visions are nothing more that what I want for the world, oh, and will have! Oh I see that he wrote about his eldest again, so what, get over it, you have another. Oh and how I shall mold him. Can't you just imagine a world full of the unclean at my command, everyone with eternal life, but at my whim I could snuff it out! I get so aroused just thinking about it. I see he also wrote about the last eight portences, they are a quandary. I didn't make these. Hmm, then they must be true visions. Oh and how sweet they are. My dreams are reality and the mean to complete it. If I could only be done away with this blabbering idiot, I would be so much the happier, and I could focus my energy on the visions. It seems that I am stuck with him forever, and he doesn't seem to realize that I am only doing what we BOTH want. But I digress, back to the eight. The one thing that I gather from them, is that I am to construct seven creations, and them take them to the place "where time hath no meaning", wherever that maybe. Hopefully I will be able to construct them, what am I saying, I WILL! I shall begin at once, and no matter the lives or the souls I must consume in the creation, nothing shall stop or deter me from my goal! YES!

They are complete! And it only took a couple thousand lives for them, how beautiful they are, so gorgeous. Tomorrow I shall begin my search for the location of "the place where time hath no meaning". What, No, you wont, not now, it's been decades, no AHHHH. Finally have I have amassed enough strength and power, now I must be quick before my power begins to wane and is gone forever. I shall use what little power I have left and transport the seven creations to places where they will never be found, yes quick now I must be. There they are gone for good, finally I can rest in peace, with the knowledge that they will never be used for their foul purpose. Please may all forgive me for everything, I know this is but a small compensation for all the evils I have done. Goodbye my sons and my lovely daughter, the person you once knew is no longer. Marissa I can finally join you after all these year. Goodbye.

YES, HEHE, OH YES, wait who's there, oh my yes, finally after centuries I have finally found them, my pretties. GET OUT OF HERE, guards kill this impudent fool! What do you mean there is no one here but me, fine go out and fall on your own blades than! Stupid auguries. Bet no one would have predicted my experiments, oh my yes, how lovely they are, but what do you expect from such imperfect stock as the trulls, stupid beasts! Stupid auguries, stupid, stupid, stupid. And in the form of some stupid riddle, what was it, oh yes.
-SEVEN YOU SEEK, AND SEVEN YOU NEED.
ONE LAYS BENEATH A BRILLANT PILE OF
GOLD, BUT BEWARE FOR THIS GOLD CAN
SLAY YOU. ANOTHER LAYS WHERE FEW
HAVE GONE AND NONE HAVE SEEN. SEEK
THE THIRD WHERE THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES,
BUT WILL SOON BE FOREVER DARK.
ANOTHER LAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF WHERE
THE DARK THINGS PLAY. A BRIGHT LIGHT IN
THE SKY IS WHERE YOU SHALL FIND ONE. SEEK
ANOTHER CLOSE AT HAND, BUT OUT OF REACH
FOR ONE SO CLOSE-MINDED. THEN THE LAST IS
EVEN CLOSER THAN THE LAST, BUT CAN NOT BE
SEEN, FOR IT IS HERE AND THERE BUT NOT EVERYWHERE.
THIS I DECREE!

I have found the horn, oh how cunning, even closer that the last, but cannot be seen. It was still in the workshop the entire time, INVISIBLE! If there was only time to continue searching, my enemies are all around me, they are everywhere. It could even be they are spying on me at this very moment, reading what I am writing in this book. Wait they could even be the book, well I shall show them, me and the rest of my kind found and opening into the earth nearby, oh sweet earth how I wish to corrupt thee, we are leaving today. All ready my enemies march on Vekmar. This book is staying here, maybe I should burn you book, or feed you to worms, oh how I would like that book. No I shall throw you into a chest, seal it for all eternity and throw you into the ocean. Think you could get the better of me, book, HA! Bye you damned book!
