The False Animal

It was a bleak winter day. I was celebrating the Jamaalidays. I had gone to Sarepia Forest to RP, but for a minute I decided to sit by the fire to think out the roleplay. Then, I began to eavesdrop on a few jammers talking about "The False Animal."

"Dude, have you even heard of it!?" said one. "Nah, what is it?" the other replied. "It's a fox with some sort of winter coat on. It's face is covered by the huge parka it wears. It lives in Mt. Shiveer. You have to go to Mt. Shiveer from 3:00 to 4:00 AM to find it. The ice cave that's usually blocked off will be open. Inside is an abandoned research base. Then, you'll see it and you'll disappear..." "Whoa!" replied the other one.

I thought they were just having fun and making it up, but oh how wrong could I have been?

Chapter 2: Entering the Base
I decided to test out this myth. I waited until around 2:55 AM. I went on an empty server and went to Mt. Shiveer. I stood by the ice cave and waited. Another person came and decided to come with me into the cave. Let's call him Max for now. The 5 minutes felt like an eternity. At about 2: 58 AM I saw a few rocks fall. At 2:59 more fell. Finally all had fallen. We entered the base. The walls were ice, but there were some old computers there. There were also a few burnt papers on the ground. They were unreadable. The only thing of worth I discovered was an old tape recorder...

Chapter 3: Logs from The Tape Recorder
"Hello world, I am Joel. I am here with the other researchers to figure out signs of life within this cave. I will be updating it regularly. Consider this day 1 log." "Day 2: We've discovered something using the radar, but it's deep in the cave. We sent Mac to check it out. He hasn't returned, but this cave is vast so I'm not worried." "Day 2 UPDATE: Mac still hasn't come back. Now I am worried." "Day 3: Mac came back, but he's... wrong. He's been staring in my window. (PAUSE) He's doing it again." "Day 4: Mac is missing, but he took Vince with him. We studied Mac's room, and our doctor discovered... something." "Day 4 UPDATE: We found something in the ice. It was like, some sort of... bug. It was about 6 feet tall. We dissected it and we found Vince's body in there. The creature somehow... reminds me... of Mac. "Day 5: We did the autopsy on Vince's body and... there was a mouth... (Begins to gag and cough) in his stomach. He wasn't dead. There's a parasite going around. He killed the doctor. We had to burn him." "Day 5: We did a blood test today. We found out Zachary was it. He began to shake rapidly and became this fleshy abomination... It got burned. Jack also slightly transformed, he grew claws on his hands and tendrils out of his mouth." "Day 6: Gary, Solomon, and I are the last ones left. I suspect Solomon is it. He's been oddly social despite him usually being shy. He's trying to spread it." "Day 7 FINAL LOG: It was Solomon. His fox body grew some stalk out of his stomach. It has his head on it and it tried to attack Gary and I. Gary and I ran out of the cave, and sealed it off with some rock. What's in there is not meant for our eyes."

Chapter 4: The Encounter
Max and I immediately shook. They never said they burned Solomon or Jack. They were still in here. We found a flamethrower, which seemed to be this thing's only weakness. Then, out of the corner, False Jack appeared. He lunged at us with one of his claw paws. It pinned me down and was about to kill me, but Max threw him off. False Jack flew into some computers and was electrocuted, and was burned to be sure. But then, we heard scuttling on the roof...

Chapter 5: Escape
There was a fox in a parka up there. I couldn't see its face. This was as the legend describes. This was False Solomon. His parka ripped open, revealing a huge cavity in his chest where a green stalk popped out with his head on the end. It began to breathe fire at us. It was hanging from the roof, but then the original body scuttled onto the floor. It lunged at us. I lit a stick of dynamite I had found. Max and I ran out. I heard a large boom. Flames were everywhere, and the cave had rocks in ice in front of it again. I realized why they sealed off the cave.

They didn't want people like us bringing that upon Jamaa.
