There’s something about Ireland. Maybe it’s the air. Maybe it’s the land. Maybe it’s the way the dead don’t stay as dead as they should. Either way, we’re headed to the True Barrow—the one the ███ █████revealed. If we’re right, this isn’t just another crypt. It’s a fragment of the Otherworld—a plane that, until now, shouldn’t have existed. And Rachel’s certain something lives there. Something old. And whatever it is, it’s been waiting.
Which brings me to ██████ and his House of Horus. Or rather—his latest announcement, which I managed to yoink off the ███████ ███. Amber and Alex’s ploy worked beautifully. ██████ really thinks he’s onto something “big.” Of course, he isn’t. And now he’s got the Decodex Department and the Society of Nom de Plume breathing down his neck. My only concern? They should be smart enough to realize he’s digging up nothing. One slip—one wrong word from ████ ███ ██ ███████—and our whole ruse falls apart
The other part that got my attention? He thinks he already has control of the Otherworld. He says they’ve already locked down one Plane. Their claws are in two others. A fourth is close to falling. And then there’s the last one. The one tied to Morningstar. His words: “████ ███ ████ ██████ █████—... [█ ████ ████] █ ████████ ████ █ █████ ███ █████ ███ ██████.”
So… sure. We beat ██████ to the right dig site. But in the grand scheme? How far behind are we really? We need more information. Nick’s already digging into how long ██████’s been meddling in this “██████████.” ██████ knew. ███████ knew. ██ ███ █████ ███████?
We might be behind in the grand scheme. But we can still beat him to the True Barrow.
