### 1760

#### Spring

##### April 3rd

*'I barely received funding for this trip, due to the war. Cousin Jacques says we are winning, which is a good sign. The Indians decided to join with us, knowing we are better than the English. The Algonquins told us tales of their ventures north, and of the things they encountered. I, of course was enthralled by this, and purchased a ship immediately. Father thinks this excursion foolish, but I know that if what the Indians said is true, it will be absolutely worth the potential loss.'*

##### April 27th

*'We are passing through the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. We set sail from Quebec. Our first goal is the Baffins Island, then hopefully Ellesmere Island. Gabriel, the ship captain I hired, is worried about the winds, as well as the ice around this area, as it is barely spring here. Daniel, the first mate disagrees, saying we have enough wood to repair if the ice becomes a problem. This issue has become a problem with the crew, dividing them.'*

#### Winter

##### Dec 20th

*'We have finally reached Baffin Island, the crew is worried about the weather, but I hope that the passing of Christmas will lift our spirits'*

##### Dec 22

*'We have made landfall on Baffin, the crew has set up a little outpost on the coast we landed on. Last night we saw a few Indians pass by. Daniel thinks they were hunting something.*

##### Dec 24

*'We went to the Indian outpost on the island, we did not get the welcome we expected. Henri was surprised by their camps appearance, they had spikes with some kind of animal body impaled on it. They didn't really seem to know we were there, or they just ignored us.*

##### Dec 25

*'We were camping outside of the Indian outpost, and Daniel swore he saw something sprinting in the forest. I hope he is just imagining things.*

### 1761

#### Spring

##### February 7th

*'We landed on Ellesmere to a similar response from the Indians like the ones of Baffin. Same spikes, same ignoring us, and the same seeing things in the forest.'*

##### February 24th

*'We went down the glacier to find something I cannot describe, but I will try. It was a towering human-like monster, it had squid-like tentacles sticking out of ones of its eyes, and was missing the skin around its mouth. Daniel desperately wants to get out, but we are having problems with the rope & pulley system.'*

##### February 25th

*'I couldn't sleep. I could swear I saw someone down here, I couldn't see clearly, but I am almost sure they were missing their eyes. They crawl-sprinted along the floor like something out of a children's horror story, but this is real. I keep hoping I'll wake up back on the ship or at home, with Anne making me tea.'*

##### February 27th

*'I saw another one, Daniel keeps waking up screaming, and I honestly can't blame him. The things down here are enough to make a man go insane. Sometimes we hear wails within the cave, deeper in. I don't care what's down there, i'm staying where I am.*

##### February 28th

*'I keep hearing someone running from within the cave. We fixed the pulley, and are getting out of here now. This will all be a bad memory soon...'*

##### March 1st

*'We're back on the ship, I almost dropped my journal while being pulled up. I think I saw something climbing up the glacier, I hope to god i'm wrong..'*

##### March 5th

*'We're leaving, the crew is ready, I am ready, Daniel can't sleep.'*

##### March 6th

*'Daniel.. I woke up in the middle of the night to relieve myself, and found him on the floor in a pool of blood. After the crew came, and the surgeon tried to help, we found he was missing his eyes, like those fucking things down in the glacier.'*

##### March 7th

*'Daniel is dead, we gave him a burial at sea. I could've sworn I saw him move once he was down there though...'*

##### May 7th

*'DANIEL IS HERE, HE'S PUT A HOLE IN THE SHIP ... HE'S KILLING THE CREW ... HE'S ONE OF THEM NOW ...'*
