He was somewhat notorious among the station. A once honored man turned putrid over time. Was it from the work, or the happenings of time itself? It was hard to say, but it was an apparent problem. Usually he kept to himself, toiling in his work. It was almost neurotic how he’d go over his reports over and over again. Like just by reading them for a fifth time can grant him insight that the first few passings could not. Yet he was the only one available, and as anxious as the front desk man was to send her over, he’d simply point her the way.

”I come bringing ye purpose lad, we got work to do.” Lumikki’s voice was matter-of-factly while his was apprehensive and annoyed. She took the seat in front of his desk before he even invited her to sit down, clearing the of the stack of papers and reports discarded on top.
”—What the! Don’t touch tha—“ Ryker rose from his chair to somewhat swat Lumikki away, but the Demoness wasn’t having it. Her eyes now blazing a Demonic glow, was giving away just where her patience was now. He looked her in the eyes and caught a chill, too stunned in the moment to go on until finally he dropped back in his seat with a defeated grunting and an oblivious look on his face.
”So ya see, I found a weird journal in me hands.”

Ryker took a deep sigh,”Now, again….who are you?” Lumikki who was leaning forward on top his desk and flipping through her notes, finally paused. Leaning back in her seat, she finally looked him in the eye once more. ”Lumikki of the Dawn. Some lass came to me for help and I figured I’d enlist the Rune Knights into it too. Gotta cover me bases as ye know and Ittindi would appreciate I kept yer like informed.” With impatience, Lumikki leaned forward and began tapping the page insistently with her long talon-like nail. ”The bloke sister enlisted me. Said he’s been acting strange. Aye, the pages could confirm it but it’s easy not to care about it right? But it’s not all she said. The lass also let me know that there’s been missing people amid them as well. Following me?”
Ryker eyes studied the pages as she yammered on. It was clear he was lost and displeased, but this was his job so he stilled his tongue for now. ”Yea and why me?” Though he feigned disinterest, his eyes couldn’t leave the pages. And the more he skimmed over, the more appalled he seemed.

Ryker’s face was heavily confused, it scrunched further his squarish features. ”What do you mean you’ll have it back in two days. This is now a Rune Knight investigation—we keep it now!” Just as he spoke, darkness flooded the table like ink spilling atop his desk. It’s in inkiness staining all beneath, even the journal. Ryker fell back into his seat, confused and disturbed. When he looked back to Lumikki, her face was warped into something more Demonic.

”Are we sure he’s just not unwell in the head?” Though he said that, his tone wasn’t even convincing himself. Clearly something is wrong and the myriads of notes Lumikki neatly condensed wasn’t helping him think otherwise. ”But….I’ll have to look further….to be sure…”
”Aye, to be expected. But don’t stare too long onto those pages, it’s like staring into the Abyss. Ye could get lost in his madness, or a hankering migraine at the least. We’ll be in touch Ryker, and if we’re not—assume the worst. In truth, that’s partly why I came.”
