Cycle 47, Rotation 12.8
The obsidian fragments, recovered from the Subterranean Echoes, pulsed with a dissonance I hadn't anticipated. It wasn't merely a reflection of the void, but a *corruption* of it. The chronometric readings spiked, indicating a localized disruption in the temporal fabric. I theorize that the obsidian served as a conduit, amplifying the echoes of forgotten realities – realities where the laws of causality were… pliable. I attempted a resonance mapping, utilizing the harmonic resonance device, but the data became fragmented, shifting between the pale orange of the Prime Timeline and the deep violet of the Fractured Echo. I managed to isolate a recurring motif: a spiraling glyph, identical to one found etched onto the basalt pillars of the Lost City of Veridia. This suggests a connection to the Veridian Collapse, a catastrophic event documented only in the fragmented memories of the Chronomasters. The air itself felt… denser, heavier, as though the weight of a thousand lost moments pressed upon me.
Cycle 51, Rotation 19.3
The Cartographers of Silence, a secretive order dedicated to mapping the ‘unseen’ temporal currents, have revealed a disturbing discovery. They’ve identified a region – designated ‘The Null Zone’ – where time appears to… cease. Not in a static sense, but rather, it *dissolves*. My instruments registered a complete absence of chronometric signatures within a radius of approximately 50 meters. The Cartographers believe this zone is a consequence of a previous, far more significant temporal event – the ‘Great Unraveling,’ a period of intense chronometric instability detailed in the forbidden texts of the Chronarium. They utilize specialized ‘Chronal Dampeners’ – intricate devices constructed from solidified temporal energy – to navigate these areas. However, prolonged exposure causes a strange psychological effect: a profound sense of detachment, a blurring of personal identity. I observed one of the Cartographers, Master Silas, exhibiting symptoms of ‘Chronal Erosion’ – a state of diminished awareness, where memories fragment and the sense of self degrades. He claims to have glimpsed ‘echoes’ of his own past, distorted and unreliable. I strongly advise against further exploration of the Null Zone. The risk is simply too great.
Cycle 68, Rotation 31.7
The Obsidian Bloom continues to expand. Initially a localized phenomenon – a cluster of obsidian formations radiating a low-level chronometric distortion – it's now a significant area, encompassing approximately 10 square kilometers. The most alarming aspect is its apparent *growth*. The obsidian isn't simply forming; it’s actively spreading, consuming temporal energy. I’ve detected a correlation between the Bloom’s expansion and fluctuations in the Prime Timeline. Small, localized anomalies – instances of temporal duplication, brief shifts in historical records – are becoming increasingly frequent. The Bloom seems to be creating miniature ‘temporal bubbles,’ isolated pockets of altered time. I attempted to deploy a Chronometric Containment Field, but the field destabilized immediately, exhibiting a strange resistance to temporal manipulation. The obsidian itself appears to be… sentient. I observed a subtle shift in its crystalline structure, a rhythmic pulsing that mirrored the pulsations of the chronometric anomalies. It's as if the Bloom is *aware* of my presence. I’m beginning to suspect that the Bloom isn’t merely a phenomenon; it’s an *entity* – a nascent chronometric being born from the echoes of forgotten realities.
