***Rev, November 5th
It's been 2 days since we started sailing. Baek is a lot better than I expected. We haven't run into anything yet either. The seas usually aren't this safe.
However, this Dr.Zikan man seems dangerous. Especially since they nicknamed him the mad doctor. Reznakov doesn't seem to know who he is. If he ever takes that memory potion he'll most likely remember.
Lately my brother has been tense. He's been talking to himself and seeing things he won't explain.
Of course he is trying to stay calm and collected all day. However there is only so long you can stay sane. I just hope he doesn't break down.
" Yo Rev we have someone we need to talk to." Baek says.
" Who is it?" I ask.
"This is Z. Supposedly he was there when mana was first created." Baek says. He was there when Travis attacked me.
" Way back when it was just normal. There was suddenly a huge spike in natural disasters. Then randomly they all stopped. On the day they stopped 2 floating beings came down. One was all white but didn't stick to a normal form. The other was big and muscular with long brown hair. " Z says.
" The white one sounds like the mana god. I don't know who the other is though." I say.
" The mana god had started speaking to us. He said only a few would survive what he was going to do. Then he started spreading his mana all around the world then crushed us. The other god just stood and watched. I saw millions of people die. " Z says.
" How did you survive?" Baek asks.
" I didn't, I only survived for a few days after that. My body couldn't handle the transition into mana. However before I fully passed on. My body started turning black. I was sucked into pure darkness. I didn't know what had happened. " Z says.
" You were forgotten. Every trace of you ever existing must've been erased. That's how it is when you get into the forgotten." Baek says.
"That is all I know though I hope it can be of help to you." Z says.
"Thank you for the information. You may go back now." Baek says.
" That was a lot." I say.
" Z said the world was completely normal. No gods no mana no devils nothing. " Baek says.
" Are you saying the mana god created all the gods and everything about our world?" I ask.
" Influencing a world to adapt to mana wouldn't be hard, that part was simple. Me or you could easily do that. However, creating multiple races and gods and different realms. That's a new level of power." Baeks says.
" We can't forget about that other god too. Z said he didn't seem to play any part but I'm sure he was probably equal to the mana god in some way." I say.
Reznakov bursts through the door in a panic and says. " Aye we have a giant octopus in our way!!"
"Sounds like we are having dinner." I sau.
" Octopus is disgusting." Baek says while grabbing a blade.
"I'll help you." Reznakov says. We all ended up eating Octopus that night while Baek had fish.
***November 7th Rev
" Everyone remember this spot. This will be the place we need to go to when we leave. I know you all felt that mana barrier when we crossed it." I say.
" Yeah we won't be leaving here unless we are on a ship." Baek says
"Do you guys feel anything?" Reznakov asks.
" Don't send your mana out. We don't want it to be obvious that we are here. Baek, we'll trust in your echolocation." Rev says.
"Yeah I almost never turn it off. This place is a jungle though. I can hear machinery going off underground. Should I just break through the dirt?" Baek asks.
"No, let's try not to break anything. I'm sure we'll find an entrance soon." Rev says. We walked around for a couple hours. Kaia and Laia were terrified of all the bugs. Baek was annoyed that his clothes kept getting dirty. Reznakov ended up finding the hatch entrance.
" It's dark down here I can't see." Kaia says
"Shut up Kaia, don't say that." Laia says.
"Sorry Baek." Kaia says.
"It's okay I'm not blind anymore. " Baek says
" I found the light switch." I say. I turn on the lights and this place is huge. This must be his laboratory. There are machines everywhere in this area.
"Joker will be exploring this place with us from now on." Baek says. We all walked past a few more rooms. Some were filled with weapons, others had chemicals and other things. Baek looks like a kid in a candy store with all this science stuff.
"Some of this stuff I've seen before on the past earth. I didn't think I would ever see remnants of them today." Baek says to me.
"Dr.Zikan must've been alive before the mana god came and transformed earth." I say.
"Hey guys you should see this." Joker says. We walk over to the room Joker is in. There are life pods everywhere with people in them. All of them are alive.
" We should help them!" Reznakov says.
"Wait, we don't know what opening those pods can do. We can't just touch things. Opening those life pods may kill those people." Baek says.
" There's someone else here." Baek says.
" What a sensitive one." A man says coming from a different room. He looks old with a white coat on.
"Who are you?" I ask.
" Isn't that what I should be asking you? Since you're in my laboratory." The man says.
"It doesn't matter though, I know all your names. Baek, Rev, Reznakov, Joker, Kaia, and Laia." The man says.
"How do you know us?" I ask.
"He must be Dr.Zikan" Baek says.
"Perfect guess. I know you all because of Truth seeing eyes. Except you, Baek, I've known you for a long time." Dr.Zikan says.
"What are you talking about?" Baek asks.
"Well I created you Baek. What artist wouldn't recognize their masterpiece." Dr.Zikan says.
