Number 95. Holder of the purpose. In any city, in any country, go to any mental institution or halfway house you can get yourself to. When you reach the front desk, ask to visit someone who calls himself, the holder of the purpose. A look of pain, depression will call you. his face and he will stand up and walk out of the room. Follow him out and down the hall. Eventually he will unlock a set of chain double doors, beyond which is another hall. The worker will

go no further, pointing you down the hall before returning to his post. The lights further down the hall won't seem to be working. Once you're a ways in, the double doors behind you will slam shut. you will hear the rattle of chains on the other side. Walk down the dark hallway. It will seem longer than the span of the entire building. Soon you will notice torsos on long-chained hooks all around you. Even now, they still live. Their cries will rake your ears.

No words escape their lips as they know no language. All they know is pain. Their eyes have been torn out and stream red tears of blood. Their hearts are exposed and still beat even with the cold metal chains impaled through them. Their arms end in bloody stumps at their elbows and their bodies end at the base of their ribcage. They flail their stubs of arms, their heads squirm, crying for release from their cruel fate, black unnatural birds with carved talons and sharp barbed beak circle above. The birds feast on these bodies in small tortured portions.

You will see that thousands of birds occupy this hall. Pay them no mind and be as quiet as you can. If they notice your presence, they will cry for their keeper, and you will join them in their eternal torture. As you proceed down the hall, their cries will stifle behind you. The moment the last of the screams fade away, yell, I only wish to know! If a cloaked figure with huge terrible black wings appears in front of you,

it's already too late. The keeper of the birds has found you. The chain he holds in his hands will be the one you hang from to feed his children. But if a bridge is really, reveal to you. Cross it quickly. Across the bridge, there's a faceless man dressed in white. His body is sickly pale and bony. He holds a pair of scales made of white gold with beautifully perfect designs. The craftsmanship put into making the scales is beyond comprehension. Do not stare at it long. Look directly at where his eyes should be and ask only one thing.

What is their purpose? He will hold up his scales in front of him and answer you. His explanation is not meant for human ears. The faceless man will defile and rape your mind as he forces it to comprehend the magnitude of the universe and all things, physical and planner, real and ethereal. You will scream as your one singular being is weighed against all things. This torturous mind-raking will delve into your soul and go on for what seems like hours, perhaps days.

His explanation will force you to realize how insignificant you really are, how nothing would have changed in the grand scheme of things if you had never been born. For a brief moment, you will understand the work and craftsmanship put into the scales. Your mind will be nearly torn asunder by the comprehension of this beauty and perfection. You won't want to look away from it, for its enticing allurement will steal your breath away. Despite this, muster all of your willpower and avert your eyes. When he finishes, most go insane from the maddening explanation. Others sink into an inconsolable depression as,

his words echo in their minds forever. The faceless man calls the keeper for these people. They are fated to join the rest on chains. If you manage to stand in front of him, look back into his face and then kneel before him. He will hand you the scales. The scales are object 95 of 538. Number 96. The Holder of Rest

In any city in any country, go to any hotel or bed and breakfast you can get yourself to. When you reach the front desk, ask to visit someone who calls himself, the holder of rest. If the clerk ignores you, turn and leave and depart the continent as fast as you have the means to. Do not stop until you are across the ocean. Only the salt waters will save you from their wrath. If, however, he should look at you and then return to his work, ask again, adding that you are a relative of his. The clerk will sigh and pull out a large book. Wait calmly with your hands by your side as he looks through it.

Do not clear your throat. Do not adjust your stance. not show any impatience. After what seems like ours, the clerk will finally look up at you and tell you a room number. Do not forget this number. Thank him and turn from the desk. Find the nearest staircase and begin climbing to the floor indicated in the first two digits of the room number. Pay attention, though, for the floors are not numbered in order, and you will not

be able to go back. After climbing countless flights, you will reach the floor you seek. Go through the door, and you will find yourself in a normal seeming hallway. Here too, the numbering is not sequential, and you'll have to hunt for the holder's room. When you find it, knock twice and wait. Be wary, though, that you have the right room, for behind each of the other doors are horrors that will earn you the pity of those. closed aim to hell. Should you have the right room, however, after ten seconds you will hear

a man ask who it is. Do not reply. He will ask louder. Still, you must hold your tongue. Finally, you will hear him unlock the door. Before he opens it, quickly say, You need no weapon, sir! I wish only to talk! If you are not fast enough, be glad that the extraordinary pain will only last a moment. Should you have gotten your words out in time, you will hear him stop and put something down. The man who opens the door will be dressed in a white shirt and suit pants with his tie undone, as though he was just returning from a long meeting. Bow to him and ask if you may enter. Stand upright and look at his eyes while he looks you over. If he approves, he will open the door wider and wave you in. If he does not, he will slam the door

and you will be forced to wander the hotel for the rest of eternity. Once you are both inside his room, he will sit down on his bed and mute the television. Then he will ask, So, what is it you need? Look him in the eye and reply, Will I be able to rest? He will sigh in motion for you to sit down. He will then tell you about the others that have sought the holders, their trials, their successes, and their inevitable failures. He will describe every detail, every movement, and every false move. Listen closely so that you may not repeat their errors.

Finally, he will tell you, if you will tell you. will ever be able to rest again. Know, though, that this pronouncement is final. When he is finished, apologize for interrupting him, thank him for his time, and stand up to leave. He will ask you to wait a moment and pull something from the suitcase beside his bed. He will then throw you a pillow and wish you the best of luck. Find the elevator and ride it to the ground floor, and you will be in the lobby of the hotel

nearest your home. This pillow is object 96 of 538. When you are weary, sleep upon it, and you shall be renewed. Number 97, the holder of martyrdom. In any city, in any country, go to any mental hospital or halfway house you can get yourself to. When you reach the front desk, ask the young man working there if you can see the holder of the home. martyrdom. A most grievous look should overcome the workers' face with a small smile of regret buried beneath. He will escort you to an elevator whose buttons go up to 538. Press any button you wish, for your destination will be the same. Once the doors close, you should hear a flurry of shrieks. If at any point the shrieks change to babies crying.

Quickly press another button and yell. She did it for the world! If the door opens and there is a small man in a tuxedo, get ready to suffer through the same trials of hell that she had to, something that drives mortals past death. However, if the door opens and you can still hear your better judgment reasoning with you to turn back, then you're still alive. Once you take a step off the elevator, your chance to turn back will have been revoked.

Make your way down the pitch black hall that lies in front of you and touch nothing but the walls. At the end of the hall, there will be an empty room on your left. Feel your way into it. Slowly and silently open the door. Beneath the dead window ahead should be a figure wrapped in bloodied bandages. Look only at her. ask only one question. Why did you fight so hard for it?

The bandaged figure should light the room, revealing the ten tortures she was put through, but do not look away from her. A smile should warm your soul, and a smile should form on your face. If this does not happen, then your body will be replaced with hers. Your blood will stain the bandages, and this place will become your new casket. She will tell you her story and the plan they had intricately laid out in great detail. Listen well. When her smile disappears, you ought to hear the ding of elevator doors opening.

Grab the bandage that covers her mouth and run like hell back to the elevator. Let's not talk. about what will happen if you do not make it that bandage is object 97 of 500 and 38 number 98 the holder of the second seed in any city in any country go to any mental institution or halfway house you can get yourself into ignore the attendant and talk to everyone in any visitors area learn their stories why they are there, what their relationship with the person they're visiting is, what they would give to have it all turn out okay, and if they know the holder of the second seed.

After you are done, there should be a single person waiting there that wasn't there before, a sweet-looking thing with cold eyes. A definite form is undetermined at this point. Upon talking to him or her, he or she will ask you about these people you have talked to. At every wrong answer, they will make the condition of the person you answered wrong on noticeably worse. Upon finishing the quiz, they will open a bathroom door and ask you to join them. The door should lock behind you. The bathroom will be nothing special at the beginning.

Same fluorescent lighting. same mirrors, same tiled floor and ceiling. He or she will pull you into a stall and lock it closed. At this point, you shouldn't say anything if you value your sanity. They will start to talk about the history of the medical practice. In grotesque detail, they will tell you about every ailment, every experiment, every person who considered him or herself a doctor, every tiny adjustment made to a medicine because of the expiration date.

This will last four days. So don't feel bad about falling asleep. They will simply continue from where they left off when you fall asleep. You may leave the stall, but the bathroom door will remain locked. You must listen to their story in full before you are allowed to. to leave. At the end of their long and droning explanation of medicine, you are free to leave. But if you do, you lose any chance of getting the object.

If you remain in the bathroom, they will then ask you what you've come for. You should reply with one of two phrases. I seek only that which can stop the others. I seek to join them in his presence. He or she will react to the former and the latter differently. If you choose the former, then they will try to kill you on the spot. With his or her bare hands, they will break a mirror and try to stab you with a shard. You must get a piece and try to stab them first.

If you do, aim for the head, but not the eye. Should you survive, they will apologize for their actions. But you must then save their life using everything you know, which is now quite a bit. If you fail, your soul will be lost and left to wander the building. If you succeed, they will do everything in their power to make you stay of your own will. Many go mad trying to resist. Others try to kill him or her again. And others still end their own lives.

You will feel lost in its eye as it gazes at every sin you have ever committed, every travesty, every little bruise and bump, any reaction that shows weakness will keep your mind, body, and soul tortured throughout eternity. If you waver, you are never leaving this room whole. If you persevere, the bathroom door will open, and you will be free to leave. If you choose the latter phrase, however, you will be rewarded by a visit with any or many other holders you have encountered in the past.

You will find yourself restrained in an old field, its contents dead or dying, and you will be sent through their torture. again and again until death is a happy illusion. After they have had their fill, the holder of the second seed will question you again on any random person in the visiting area. Any wrong answer and the problems of the people in the institution are yours now, but they at least go free. From that point you will have two more options. The first is to leave and obtain the object.

The other is to be relieved of the illnesses you now have. This involves a series of electroconvulsive therapy sessions and several surgeries, sans anesthesia. The process may drive people matter, but if you are tough enough, you will survive and be healthy again. You will be free to leave.
