The Tree of Insanity:

Many pages are worn out beyond recognition... what you can read is disturbing...

" We found the Devils Tree, finally! We've just finished perpetration to go to it! As we walk in, we see a man, crucified on the tree. The tree is mangled, looking half dead, and it's odd colors: purple and black, with red and orange sap. As the research team and I begin our investigation, a low buzz is heard... but it's barely noticeable."

"It's been about half a day, taking things to analyze. The buzzing is annoying some, but I don't really hear it anymore."

"Now it's sunset, and the tree has lit up, looking like it's on fire. Some men are praying. Others are clutching their heads and screaming. But I'm calm, oddly. All I hear is sweet music... Now the whole canyon looks like it's on fire. I feel tired, and the world is sinking behind my eyelids."

"I wake up with a start, screaming. It's dark, almost dawn. The moon is full, and lights the night. I immediately realized: the buzzing stopped. I didn't even that I could hear it, but now it's absence is unbearable... then I realize... my hands are glistening crimson. I'm covered in the sap of the devils tree? I look around and realize that my men aren't sleeping... there's gaping holes in each. And roots going through them. A short distance away lies a ceremonial wooden knife with their blood on it. It's ceremonial patterns on the handle glow as the blood flows into it. I'm astounded, and scared- what happened?? Then I realize, my hands have the same pattern burned into them. The rest of our crew arrived, scared. The dawn's light washes over the tree now, and the moon glows red like blood... and then the screaming started again."
