The Holder of the Goddess

In any city, in any country, go to any mental institution or halfway house you can get yourself to. At the front desk, ask to speak to "The Holder of the Goddess". The worker will look around quickly, checking to make sure you are overheard. If you are, then start praying; you will still be led to the door down the hall, but They now know you are looking for one of Them. If you aren't, pray anyway; this is a dangerous task.

Years and years ago, you would have found me at Mesilla Valley Hospital in Las Cruces, New Mexico, known for its shifty and dangerous operations. I was given no special privileges, despite being the Holder I am; you would have found me among the other patients, playing volleyball. Now, however, even I'm never sure where I will appear next; though I have a worldly dwelling, I'm known to be gone from it for days on end. I am NOT letting these Objects come together under any circumstances.

The room is a simple mental patient's ward consisting of 2 beds and a bathroom. Two men will be in the doorway; one of them is the Holder, and the other is just a madman.

Ah, you see, this is where the one who writes got it wrong; the two men are both the Holder. The goddess is known for her trickery. The Objects knew this and exploited it when they ordered Her to create the universe. If they are coming, Seeker, heed this in mind.

You must look the correct one in the eye and ask: "Where was She?"

I had not even been postulated yet. Neither had the male god form. All that there was, was One; everything you are and know was and is part of this magnificent One from whom we all originate, and to whom we all return. the Holder's tale will be slightly more detailed, however.

The Holder will stand up -

At this point, Seeker, what the writer fails to mention is that you must be aware of the message reaching your mind as it travels to you. Even though the man will speak with his voice, his real message is intended to touch your subconscious mind. If you start to hear a high-pitched tone during the tale, focus more intently on the man's words; the tone is intended to jam and distract you. I have often tried to disable it, but it's a stubborn little... mechanism... for lack of a better term.

- and begin to speak of many places -

None of which humans were even meant to imagine, must less be informed of. Remember, even with all of the advice I am trying to include, this will be a difficult task.

- where She should have been.

If at any point during his tale, you start to see images of a headdress in your mind, record them for memory; it is extremely important that you convince the Holder of your urgency to keep the Objects apart after he finishes his tale, otherwise, you'll be stuck here. You will know which headdress it is; it was deliberately made so that it could not be duplicated. It could be a man or a woman wearing a headdress, so bear these in mind.

If you catch any images of a distinct headdress during the man's description, whether they be the headdress by itself or someone wearing a headdress, let the man finish his tale and then ask about it. If his eyes go wide with surprise, he will tell you how and where it can be found.

The headdress is currently in the possession of a young man who absolutely idolizes the goddess. He is known for many unique traits. Sometimes he wears the headdress; he knows what it means. It is only appropriate at this time and at this place for him to have it. He will soon pass it on to either a worthy Seeker or someone he knows, and it will be properly protected. This is likely to change by the time you read this; it may even now be outdated. I'm the one who gave him the headdress, but he may have already passed it on.

The Goddess's Headdress is Object 602 of 2538. To put it on calls for the greatest choice you will ever make.
