APRIL 24, 2026: NIGHT OF THE EVENT
DARRYL VIGGS:
An excavation to discover what was on the other side of the ice wall in Antarctica. The atmosphere was freezing as we stood, waiting for the machine — a 9 foot tall machine with something which shot out like a cannon at the front of it— to completely create a path big enough for me and 3 other scientists like myself, and a group of mercenaries— seven in number, to pass through the gigantic Ice wall in Antarctica. Viktor Tanley, a short man, with pale skin, dressed in a thick white coat— almost as white as snow, stood at my right side with his head facing up as he gazed at the machine. "This baby sure works like a charm. Just a few minutes left for her to complete her work", he said as he placed both his hands behind his neck. "Imagine if the United States government got their hands on something like this, they could go to war with enemy countries with her", he continued as he chuckled. I placed my right hand in the pocket situated at the right side of my white thick coat and took out a hand-held transceiver. "Stop the machine", I said while waving gently to the man seated at the top of the machine in what looked like a Small portable box with a chair and controls used in operating the machine. "Roger ", he replied. The machine stopped immediately and we all geared up to move to the other side of the wall.
The path was foggy as we made our way to the other side. A small camera was placed on the left breast side of each of our coats so as to record what we''ll see or encounter. The other side of the wall compared to the side we came from was dark, but not too dark as we could still see. There were no stars, no sight of the moon nor the sun. It was as if this place was excluded from the outside world and the wall was a barrier stopping humans from coming here. The atmosphere there was ominous. It felt like we walked into the devil''s lair. The excited look on Viktor''s face before we got to the other side completely vanished, what was left was a frightened look as he also could feel the evil in the air. Even the mercenaries that accompanied us were trembling in fear. But no one said anything or tried to stop the excavation as we knew that we had to complete our mission.
Stolen novel; please report.
After walking endlessly in the cold dark unknown for Forty-seven minutes and thirty-six seconds, we came across a large round stone placed on the ground with strange symbols written on it. The stone was as big as an average bedroom. I moved closer to the edge of the stone to get a closer look at the stone. Viktor followed immediately behind me.
I knelt down and placed my right hand on the stone, tracing the symbols with my fingers. "It''s written in an ancient language. It''s written in Sanscript" I said as I looked up at Viktor who was standing right beside me. I got up, stood on top of the stone, then walked towards where the sentence starts. I looked at the symbols on the stone for a few seconds then began to say the sentence written in it. "Beware the evil dragon consumed by dark magic...", I paused for a bit raising my right eyebrow in confusion as I looked towards Viktor who was standing right outside the stone. I looked back down at the stone then decided to continue to read out what was written on the stone. "To those who will find this stone tablet, do not speak his name for he will be released from his prison. Do not speak the name...DANAKAH". Almost immediately, a blackish-red light shot up from the stone beneath me, engulfing me. I could feel my body being torn to pieces from the pressure. All I could do was scream until I couldn''t scream anymore. I could feel my life slipping away as everything became dark and... I died.
