Burning down forests and feels like it's been years since I last updated.

The Brute has gone on the offensive now. As opposed for waiting for the fears to attack him he's started hunting them down.

The Brute attacked the slender man in Black Forest. You probably already know what that is but if not it's a forest in germany.

Huh I wonder if the black forest has any connection to The Path of Black Leaves... Probably not.

Regardless The Brute tried to attack the slender man in The Black Forest but... Well slendy is apparently pretty crafty. He disappeared into the trees and despite breaking quite a few trees The Brute couldn't find him. So eventually he just burned down the whole forest. What was left was a wasteland of charred stumps but still no slendy.

I must say I'm impressed.

The Brute seems pissed though.

That weird shape in the grove has started to take the form of a person sort of. still no clue what it is but now it has vague eye shaped green lights in what I assume is it's head which seem to be watching me.

Still not worried as long as The Brute isn't but I'm not gonna take my eyes off it either.

Time warped.

So it seems almost two months have passed since my last post. Which was yesterday. The death of fears is starting to cause issues in reality and yet the fighting continues.

The Blind Man and Convocation attacked The Brute recently. It wasn't much of a fight. The lightning temporarily distorted The Brute's form when it hit but I don't even know what The Blind Man was trying to do. He didn't attack or anything and he seemed to be trying to get The Convocation to leave. I felt absolute hatred from The Brute though and he crushed The Blind Man then focused his attention on The Convocation. They were an annoyance at best though. The Intrusion arrived and the two swarmed The Brute but the smoke and flames that surround him and cover him dealt with the intrusion without The Brute even needing to act. After there were about just a few birds left they tried to flee but The Brute... Well he basically shot out an immense jet of flame immolating them as they flew away. The fears are dying like, pardon the pun, flies.

I'm really not sure anymore. After this is over what will be left? What is the point of The Brute? If he destroys everything what will be left for him or me?

Oh also a strange shadow has begun to appear in The Grove. I didn't let it in. The Brute does not seem concerned so I'm not worried but it's kind of strange.

Human Nature: Weakness

I have been a fool and I have learned.

I still don't understand entirely how it works but I have been figuring it out. I am a part of The Brute. That is why I know what's happening outside of his domain despite staying in here. As a part of him I have access to the domain and the ability to grant or restrict access. So when my mother who had been killed by The faceless Bastard was suddenly speaking to me asking for access I didn't think. I let her in and the moment she appeared she hugged me. At that point I came to my senses but it was far too late. I'm not sure how it was done. My guess is The Archangel and Dying Man working together but somehow my mother had been brought back and then possessed by The Dying Man in an attempt to get to me and kill me. See, as The Dying Man explained, The ritual used to bring back the brute bound him to me. His power is focused through me. If I die his power drains. The plan probably would of worked if it wasn't for what I said earlier. I am a part of The Brute.

The Dying Man entered my body and began assuming control. I couldn't change to my gas form due to his influence. I could feel myself losing control and then I felt a massive surge of power. I could see The Dying Man in my head and then a giant hand made of smoke and flame came down crushing him. I heard him roaring in pain and anger and then silence. The Dying man wasn't finished yet but he was transferred. The Dying Man's power had grown exponentially somehow during the final days of the earth and while he was still nowhere near as powerful as The Brute he wasn't that easy to destroy. The Brute had pulled him out of me and into it's main mass to properly crush it. I could see them fighting inside of it's mind. The fight was incredibly one sided. The Dying Man couldn't take control and couldn't fight back. He was destroyed by The Brute. Every blow destroying portions of him until nothing was left.

Two fears down and lesson learned. I need to be much more careful.

The Death of those who cannot die.

So I mentioned that a Fear has died. I meant it. The Brute and The Plague Doctor fought for a long time. With each passing moment The Brute seemed to get stronger until he finally overpowered The Plague Doctor and... Well he destroyed him. I don't know if one can really call him dead but The Brute knocked him to the ground and then proceeded to light him up like a flamethrower until he turned into a cloud of green gas and then dissipated into the air. The plague stopped immediately and there has been no other sighting of The Plague Doctor. So I'm pretty sure he's been destroyed.

I have a theory as to why The brute is still getting stronger. I think he's feeding off his war against The Fears. Every time they attack him his power grows. They have no way to win.

Excluding any other servants who may be hiding in their master's domain.

I am the last thing alive that is not one of the fears. The last remaining servants were killed yesterday in a fight between The Brute and The Plague Doctor. During their battle the entire place was destroyed by fire and disease and the last surviving servants happened to be hiding out there. Depending on whether you consider the fears to be living or not I might be the last living thing at all. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

It was never really my attention to have everyone die. I just wanted revenge. Hell I never even really wanted The Brute to rise I just wanted the power to kill Faceless... But now I am pretty much singlehandedly responsible for the end of the world. Oh and also A fear has died today. Yeah I didn't know that was possible either. Something is changing and The Brute is still becoming more powerful.

The Answer to the previous question.

Well apparently The brute's response was to attack The Dying Man in Africa. The entire continent is slowly burning to the ground as the two fears fight. Some of the other fears have come to fight against The Brute but he's become much stronger now somehow. This is strange. The War is ended now that all the humans are dead so why is his power still rising?

I think I will stay here in The Grove of Fetters for now. It's not safe out there.

The Unexpected.

My the fears really are intent on stopping us. It's The Apocalypse. As of a few minutes ago the entire continent of North America was destroyed by the Convocation, The Main cities of Europe are being decimated by a new strain of Black Plague that is airborne and kills in seconds, Africa is being overrun by The Dying Man, Asia is being subjected to a return of The Ice Age and Australia has been desolated by Armies of Intrusion insects. I wonder how The Brute will react to this development.
