A Letter from a Friend?

Anonymous here...

Ecko found a letter at the edge of the forest that was addressed to me... he brought it back to me and said it said on the front: 

"To Drake, the Blind Mage 

From, Xidorn Skelly"

Inside was a letter, hand-written, that said:

"Lately I've noticed that Him and his hollowed seem intent on killing you. I'd hate to see this happen, so I must warn you to not leave this place. Even if all seems lost, you are safer there than anywhere else you could be.

Best of Luck,

Xidorn Skelly"

I don't know what to make of it really... I mean... it could be a trick from Him to try and keep me in one place... or maybe it's meant to be reverse psychology and make me want to leave... I don't know... but I think there's safety in numbers...


This is Ecko.


I don't know what to say about the note... Drake and I are really debating whether to leave or not... I don't think we should... so we'll probably stay here for now...


Also, welcome Mister Creevey. Go ahead and introduce yourself if you want.

Come and gone

I just realized that since the events have already happened... and what I feared was true, really was, I can tell you guys about it. It's just that, the dreams I was having before the attack, were about the forest, and Alder and N|LL... as it got closer to the attack the dreams became clearer until I pretty much knew what was going to happen... but I didn't want to post about it... because I thought maybe they were just dreams... and that if I posted about them, that He'd use that against me and make them come true...

Well yeah... they happened... so... I don't know what this means for me... but so far... everytime I've had these dreams, they end up leading to something traumatic happening to me, or someone around me... maybe they're visions... maybe they're causing these events... I don't know... So... next time they start up again, I'll make sure to post about it.

Edit: Also, welcome The Anarchitect and Lucas. Go ahead and introduce yourselves if you'd like, it's nice to have on record who exactly is following my blog.

Here's hoping

This is Ecko. 


Drake and I have been talking and he seems to think that Alder and N|LL won't be able to get at us while we're here, and that his sister will be helping us as much as she can. I don't know how good I feel about this... I have a horrible sinking feeling...


This is a message from The Narrator. I just thought I should make a formal introduction and say hello to the readers of this MESS that is the story of Drake and his sister. I'm here to correct any errors or false statements, so if you notice red text with a slash through it, that is just me fixing an error. NIce to meet you all, you'll be hearing more from me, though mostly only on my blog. 


Good day,


"The Narrator"

Just a thought

Something that Susan said to me has been kind of... I don't know how to describe it... It just felt weird... It was on the second day I was with her... We were talking and then she said 


"Well... how've you been, big brother? Even though you've been through so much, you've continued to keep your head up and stay strong.


All through these troubles, you've managed to keep moving forward. Regretfully people have been hurt along the way... Ecko has been lucky so far, though honestly he's been with you for a very short time.


With how actively Alder and N|LL have been chasing you, I'm proud that you've stayed ahead of them for most of it. Alder seems the most angry at not catching you... though for N|LL it's mostly a vendetta, and less so that He has told him to get you. Though of course I've been around to help you stay safe. Catching you will be neigh impossible as long as He lets me keep you safe... He says that you have nothing to fear from Alder or N|LL. I know that to be true, though I know you'll need my help. Never again will you have to fear them... God help me, I'll keep you safe..."


It... didn't sound like anything else she had said to me... It didn't sound like her... I mean... the things she said sounded like the normal her... but the words...

I'm back, and what happened when I was gone.

So yeah, I'm okay... kind of shaken up... but physically fine.


After Alder and N|LL attacked us and got Ecko and I split up I just ran as fast and well as I could, managing to only bump into a few trees while I was running (Mystery has explained to me how I was able to do this she talks about it here), then all of a sudden I heard someone running next to me, I could tell from the way she was breathing she was small... It was Susan... She grabbed my hand and pulled me off to one side and pulled me further into the woods, the sounds of N|LL and Alder chasing after us getting quieter and quieter, until we had apparently out run them.


Well Susan took me somewhere... I don't know where... but when we got there and she told me to go ahead and sit down, I noticed the place felt very peaceful... I could hear the birds chirping away and a soft breeze kept blowing by... it was nice there... well anyway, she sat down next to me and said "I told you I'd keep you safe..." I started to cry... Knowing that I hadn't kept my promise to her... She hugged me and told me it was all going to be alright... 


She told me to go ahead and lay down and try and get some rest and that the next day we would talk, so I did and when I woke up I could feel a blanket ontop of me and took it off, slowly sitting up. She sat down next to me again and said to hold out my hands, I did and she handed me a cup of, what tasted like, tea. We talked that day and she tried her best to let me know that she didn't blame me for what had happened... that I'd tried my best... but that there just wasn't anything I could have done differently... Well she let me know that she was working for Him... but that apparently he has some plan... and so for now she's allowed to keep me safe...

This is Ecko.


That's all he wants to say for now, but yeah, for right now, he's okay... tomorrow the MASC people will want to talk to him, but I convinced them to give him one day here where he can recover and that then they can talk to him... I'm so relieved to see him back... but I'm feeling really nervous about this Susan situation...


Edit: Also, to make sure everyone sees... because I feel like her blog is going to start being a lot more important and it'll be good to keep an eye on it, here's Susan's new blog. http://withinthesedigitalwalls.blogspot.com/ and here's her tumblr http://thislittleforest.tumblr.com/

Apparently

This is Ecko.


He's supposed to be coming back today... Susan better keep her promise... god I'm nervous about this...

The newest post on Susan's (new) Blog

This is Ecko


I just saw it.


http://withinthesedigitalwalls.blogspot.com/2011/09/my-tumblr.html


On the tumblr there's one post from her saying that she has Drake and is keeping him safe... I don't know if this makes me feel any better... because she's obviously being controlled by Him in some capacity... but as long as Drake is safe... that's all that matters...

I went looking again this morning

This is Ecko.


I still can't find even a trace of him... and yes I saw the post by Alder... but I don't want to reply... I'm just going to hope for the best and keep looking... I'll probably head out and look again sometime tonight...

i

We didn't find him...

This is Ecko.


We didn't find Drake... or any trace of him really...


When I was about to head out one of the guards/ agents said that he'd have to accompany me because they need to keep an eye on us at all times... asshole... Well we headed out and searched for about 8 hours before we decided to come back... the only reason was because it was getting too dark to see anything... I really hope he's okay...
