Dr. Cava Alverez
June 13th, 2028, Cusco, Peru
This is so fucking stupid!!!…. I can’t believe I am already having the funding talk with the trustees. These are the things going through my mind as I make my way to meet with two members of the board of trustees at Yale, where I receive most of my funding to research the various ruins of Peru.
They currently have me working at Machu Pichu. The site has been searched and searched again, I’m not sure exactly what I am looking for.
I have found what I think to be evidence of the lost civilization some people believe built this site.
Machu Pichu is still mostly a mystery, who built it, why, what was it for? I am going to answer these questions and more. Although they can cut my funding, I’m going to walk in there with my chin up and present what I’ve found so far, and hopefully I will still have a job when all is said and done.
“Good morning, Dr. Alverez! We are both so excited to meet you and hear all about the work you’ve been doing up at the site.” said a man in a cliché blue business suit. “Dr. Alverez?” I found myself staring at the television in the office next door, there was a pillar of blue light coming out of the great pyramid at Giza, as well as from the ocean at Yonaguni off the coast of Japan, also from under the louvre in Paris and 17 other places across the globe. “Dr. Alverez, have you not seen the news?” he said to me in my trance.
“No, I haven’t, until now, what’s going on?” I asked. “First of all, I am Kevin Sharpe, and this is Katherine Civar, it is an honor to finally meet you face to face.” He finished.
“It’s nice to meet you both as well, but do you mind telling me what’s going on? I have been driving all night to get here so I missed the news and there is limited reception up at Machu Pichu.” I spoke.
Kevin then told me “Well then, let us sit for a moment and we will do our best to fill you in and get you up to speed. Sound Good? Ok, so, six hours ago or so, a worldwide event occurred.” Kevin said, “There seems to be neon blue energy flowing out of a number of sites around the world, it is flowing into the atmosphere and causing this heavy feeling everyone is experiencing.” I asked, “Blue energy, like what I saw on TV?”
“One and the same.” Kevin replied “Dr. Alverez, while this is all very exciting it is only part of the reason we are here today”, Katherine finally chimed in. I immediately tensed up. “Relax, we are not here to renew or cancel your funding. In fact, if you are up to helping us out, I’m sure the board would see fit to increase your funding accordingly.” She finished. “What kind of help?”, I asked.
“We happen to know there are some very specific artifacts at Machu Pichu, artifacts we would very much like to obtain. With the upheaval all around the world the Peruvian Government is going to shut down all excavations nationwide, including yours.” Kevin Said. Katherine went on to say, “We also know that your brother is a respected Colonel in the Peruvian Army, he should be able to get you access to the dig site.”
“I guess I could try to reach out to my brother”, I replied. “I’m sure he can help me work something out.” I then asked, “What artifacts are you referring to?” Kevin replied, “We know there is an archive that has yet to be discovered, we have specific information.” Katherine went on to tell her story, “On the 20th of June, an unexplored area in the ruins on the southwest wall will open up, and access will be possible for the first time in over 12,500 years.”
Kevin then said, “Once it is open, we will need you to gather all of the scrolls, books, and crystals found inside the archive, these are extremely sensitive scrolls and books of knowledge, they have been lost for millennia.” Katherine said, “Our benefactor, and yours, would like you to use the utmost discretion in the approach, execution, and retrieval of these tomes. Can we count on you Dr. Alverez?”, Katherine asked.

“So, let me wrap my head around everything you just dropped on me. Basically, you want me to break into a UNESCO world heritage site with the help of my brother, a Colonel in the Peruvian Army. Then steal, priceless artifacts, that belong to the people of Peru, and then hand them over to a mysterious benefactor in America? So that they can horde ancient knowledge that could impact our understanding of human history on Earth? Does that basically sum it up?” I sarcastically answered.
Kevin responded, “When you say it like that it does sound much more sinister than intended, but actually quite accurate. Dr. Alverez, Cava, can I call you Cava?” Kevin asked. Then went on to say,
“This world is about to change in many ways, you can help us because you want to……. Or, because if you don’t help us, your career will be ruined. And furthermore, we will not be able to guarantee the safety of your mother unless you complete your task, in fact three of our men are there with her now.”
Katherine then said, “I think you understand the situation you find yourself in?”
“It would seem as though I have little choice in the matter, I will call Carlo and get the permission I need to go back up the mountain.” I responded.

My brother had done his part and gotten me access to the site where I was basically being forced to break into. In the name of some mysterious benefactor in the US, or my mother was going to be hurt or worse. I told Carlo the truth about everything that was happening, and he agreed to wait until I contacted him after the job was done and he would arrest the Trustees and we could give the artifacts found in the archive to the university for study. “Thank you, for bringing me up here, and watching out for me, big brother.”
“No problem, I am anxious to get back to town so I can go and check on the team watching mama.” Carlo said and went on to say “We packed you a tent, some provisions, and a small camp stove, along with a sleeping bag and of course, some rope. Be careful up there by yourself, once I go, no one will be back until the 23rd or 24th . It can get really cold up here, so if you get in trouble here is a SAT phone, someone will be available to extract you in an EMERGENCY, I repeat, EMERGENCY. No one is supposed to be up here so please let’s keep this quiet as possible.”
I replied, “Of course, I will be fine, there are plenty of places that will provide ample shelter if it starts to get ugly, but I don’t anticipate it being out of my capabilities.”
“I love you, please be careful, and we will see each other soon.” Carlo finished. We hugged and Carlo got in his jeep and headed down the mountain to check on our mother.
Having this whole site to myself, I have found and catalogued several otherwise undiscovered artifacts, close to the site that I was told of. I have been at it all day searching for a clue to what will happen to help me discover this archive Kevin was so sure was here and is either underground or Kevin is just wrong. All I can do is go and get some sleep and start back at it in the morning. But first I want to smoke a little cannabis to unwind and relax. Holy glowing weed, what the fuck?? Might as well give it a try……

Well, that was the weirdest night of dreams I’ve ever experienced, and what’s crazier, I remember all of them. I am excited to try to meditate the way I did in my dreams; I am curious who the woman’s voice in my dreams is and I have to thank her; I must find the same area and sit down and see if there is anything to this vision business.
After an hour or so of searching and two joints smoked, I found the face of the cliff I was in front of in my vision. I sat down in front of the area in my vision and started to go through the same motions I did in my vision. In the dream a woman who I could not see, told me to close my eyes and clear my mind only focusing on her voice and the sound of my breathing, in……. slowly through your nose, slowly out……. through your mouth, and hold 1,2,3, in slowly through your nose and hold 1,2,3 slowly out through your mouth.
Continue breathing, rhythmically, it is like the heartbeat of the universe, some people can hear it, concentrate on breathing, and let the pressure in your chest build once you are at your limit, push all that pressure out towards the tips of your fingers and toes, once your fingertips and toes feel like they cannot take any more pressure, pull slowly, and let that pressure settle in your abdomen.
After following all these instructions, I opened my eyes. It was the most uncomfortable knot in my stomach I’ve ever experienced, then blaahh, blahhh, blaahh…. I threw up black tar and had some smelly piss-soaked pants along with the black, slick sweat that poured out of my pores, yuck! I was a mess, I slowly walked over to the portable office they had erected on the site to use the bathroom to wash up and then go somewhere to burn these clothes.
I didn’t realize my quick meditation session lasted over 10 hours, honestly it felt like 30 minutes or so, I am going to make myself some dinner and then sleep, I will try to meditate again tomorrow and keep searching the site until the 20th when the real Magick is supposed to happen.
