This is an entry from the person who has found this book. I shall to remain anonymous. I did know who this book belonged, but the skeleton that was holding it was clearly protecting it. I am an explorer, who works with an amazing team to search this war tarnished land. As per the records it has been nearly ninety years since the original owner passed away. After calling a few strings, I was able to deduce that the person this author called as a scholar was none other than the dictator who killed innocents for greed. I have ravaged a lot of war zones and this is the one that actually hurt me. After the analysis of the skeleton, it was concluded that the scholar itself was the one who shot him. Naturally this record is a natural treasure that has to be placed I the museum. But I am being childish and wish to complete this book. If anyone is to find this book after my time, I shall be remembered throughout the world. I do not wish for future generation to hate me. I have decided to find the answer for the long-gone author.
I ravaged the war ravished land in great detail while I carried this book in great care and secrecy. I will lose my license as an archeologist and be sent to jail if the world finds out that I have hidden this from them. As the days goes on, the question and guilt haunts me in my sleep. What is the true purpose of one's existence? Will I ever find the answer for this question? No idea!
More and more skeletons pop up every day. Every one of them has a story to tell but none had the keen of knowledge and perseverance as this author. I am not saying this after reading this manuscript. But we found a diary of the scholar where she documented that she did all this after a person visited her. I shall copy her exact words here; One day a person came to my home, who asked me a question; In this huge far world of ours, we have yet to discover the true nature and reason for our existence. What do you think it is? it was a question that I had abandoned. But this person appearance and asking me the same question has let me to believe that this was fate telling me to pursue it further. After a few painstaking days, I have now come to a conclusion- the reason I started to walk a path of the scholar was to find the answer to this very question. Now that this path has yielded me no outcome, I have decided to something that the gods will bring their wrath on me. The people of future generation will never understand my motive but I know a person who would understand and as coincidence be, I have been notified that this person is looking for me.
It has been a few days, since I wrote something on my diary. It is because I was still coping from the events that occurred a few days back. The person I mentioned visited me, after a long nice chat, he told me how he failed in his useless challenge that I had given. I have never seen anyone who was so determined to find the answer for a question. That same question that could be the end of me. I decided to reveal my plans to this person and find the answer together. But little did I know he was nothing but a liar with nothing but a fantasy in his head, wasting time and resources to find an important answer. I tell him my plan and he refused to work with me. I told him the path of scholar did not yield any benefit and the only way left is to make other people realize how valuable life is. he still did not budge and started calming that I will fail. I had no option but to as my men to capture him and torture him. I thought he would understand why this is important step to be taken. But he escaped right in front of me with some useless papers. I had shot him in the back but he was still able to escape. My men are tirelessly trying to find him and I am stressed because he knows my plan. I shall make sure I find the answer or die trying.
After this part, the author of the manuscript was only mentioned in the end by her as the person who destroyed her dream. The reason is quite simple, what she thought was useless papers was nothing but this manuscript but it had one paper that was her complete plan which he gave to a child when he was escaping. The child kept the paper in her bag and went home.
Fate has a weird way of helping mankind. The war on the land was fought for years but one day the mother of the child found this page and the best part is she was the leader of the army fighting against the scholar. After griping the reality of the situation, she decided to act and this led to the victory and the scholar was hanged to death. After ninety years this lands still holds the poison spewed by the scholar. But times have changed, people now are blaming the author for the deaths and reason is quite simple, they think that this would have not happened if he had never approached her with that question. But I believe this is illogical and it's easy to blame others but hard to live life in their world. This manuscript is al the is left to show the innocence of the author. So, I have decided to hand it over to the respected authorities. This will be the last entry here.
