It has been a year since I last saw her when she appeared on my doorstep, strangeness in her eyes and a mumbling under her voice.
She asked for my help to investigate a peculiar object, which once held an odd ancient magic. But it's benign now, she said.
It's benign now.
Credits (Because it'd kinda ruin the format if I posted it in the story body):
With many thanks to HerpyDerpy for the quick look, Aragon for helping me gather the pages and also forcing me to be a bit less obtuse, and Selbi for being a mysterious stranger.
And thanks to you for reading. I hope you enjoyed it.
I have no idea what to expect... good job, I think?
~ Chapter: 13
I'm guessing that's on purpose, right?

A lot of the words, terms, dates, and other such things are quite intentional, yes.
7313820
Okay
Holy
fucking
shit
Risu. I have...
questions? I'm not even sure if "questions" is the right word this freaked me out, man.
Oh boy here we go...
Nice set up so far...
~Skeeter The Lurker
Getting some heavy Lovecraft vibes off this...
~Skeeter The Lurker
A town hiding a secret. Naturally.
Not much else to go on save for maybe Luna knows a bit about it?
~Skeeter The Lurker
...Oh boy...
Also, they had a fling in the past, didn't they? That probably ended "well".
~Skeeter The Lurker
"A return", huh? Yeah I doubt it.
~Skeeter The Lurker
She wishes for the past again, I guess?
~Skeeter The Lurker
I can tell this is going to end poorly.
Love the 19th Century-style suspense you have going on. Very reminiscent of Poe or Lovecraft.
Probably should care, Rarity... Prrrrrrobably should...
~Skeeter The Lurker
This is like watching a train wreck... And not being able to stop it.
~Skeeter The Lurker
...The fuck do you think she went, pony?
~Skeeter The Lurker
...Shoulda sent the letter the second she showed up.
~Skeeter The Lurker
...A letter would be a good idea now...
~Skeeter The Lurker
Throw that thing as far into the water as you can. You'll probably be better off without it...
~Skeeter The Lurker
........Uh.
This does not bode well.
~Skeeter The Lurker
And then off you go to Seal Bay because of course you will.
~Skeeter The Lurker
...
Shit I forgot about him.
~Skeeter The Lurker
Annnnnnnd she's doomed.
~Skeeter The Lurker
You keep saying that but you probably won't.
And now whatever got Twilight's mind has yours, I suspect...
~Skeeter The Lurker
She keeps putting it off and I don't think it's intentional on her part.
~Skeeter The Lurker
Yep she's screwed.
~Skeeter The Lurker
Decrepit old town by the bay - feels oddly familiar.
Perhaps foreshadowed by EQD itself?
Incoming time skip?
~Skeeter The Lurker
The obvious place would be the Bay...
Probably a bad place to go to, though.
~Skeeter The Lurker
Yep it ain't her forgetting to send it.
Maybe the thing is afraid of Celestia?
~Skeeter The Lurker
Uh oh.
~Skeeter The Lurker
That won't work, I bet.
~Skeeter The Lurker
There was.
~Skeeter The Lurker
Remember what I said about the train wreck?
Yeeeeaaahhhhhhhh...
~Skeeter The Lurker
7313930
That's all I can ask for, really.
7313842
Please, go right ahead. I will be happy to entertain.
Now she's really screwed...
God this is unsettling...
~Skeeter The Lurker
...Really screwed...
~Skeeter The Lurker
But she will. Oh christ...
~Skeeter The Lurker
No...
~Skeeter The Lurker
Oh lord...
~Skeeter The Lurker
7313949 Actually my main question that's actually a question: If I try to parse the long string of nonsense letters in that one entry will I ever find any intentional message left by you?
Looks familiar? Probably yours.
~Skeeter The Lurker
Oh man...
~Skeeter The Lurker
And it probably isn't Twilight anymore...
Iwanttogetoffthisridegoddamnyou.
~Skeeter The Lurker
That's not light.
That's the eye of the damn storm.
~Skeeter The Lurker
..............."Child"...?
I hope that means the object and not... Uh...
~Skeeter The Lurker
She's gone now...
Oh damn, man...
~Skeeter The Lurker
Oh no...
~Skeeter The Lurker
No no no...
~Skeeter The Lurker
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
