Sakhalin sea monster mystery after oil company unearths sacred artifacts.
When the remains of a big hairy, long-nosed sea monster washed up on the shore of Sakhalin Island last week, Russia said it was likely a dolphin.
A giant, furry, dolphin that probably flew there from India, to be exact.
“I can confidently say that this is some kind of a dolphin,” stated the government official.
“However, it has fur. It’s unusual. Dolphins do not have any fur.”
Er, and yeah. How would it get here again? Understatement of the year Mr. Nicolay Kim. Understatement of the year.
Survivors, I ask you, does this look like a dolphin?
If you answered maybe, please, take a closer look here at the fur.
Does it still look like a dolphin?
I urge you to consider this.
According to Nivkh legends, Sakhalin Island is actually a giant beast sleeping on its belly.
When the beast awakens it trembles the earth causing massive earthquakes, waking other beasts around the world.
Has somebody –or something- awoken the Sakhalin beast? Has it begun calling other beasts to its side?
Before accusing me of supernatural superstitiosity on this one, consider these facts. Sakhalin has been visibly upset lately, with two massive earthquakes and dozens of smaller ones over the last six years. Ever since an oil company began digging up an astonishing number of ancient artefacts in the course of trenching its offshore pipline.
We’re talking hundreds of artefacts here, so many that nobody is even keeping track anymore.
“The sad thing is that it feels like a rush job, with so much material coming up so quickly that they don’t know what they are looking at,” blogs one archaelogist here.
Sakhalin is steeped in history and mystery, believed by many to represent the lost intersection of at least three ancient worlds including Asia, Russia and the aboriginal Americas.
In addition, Sakhalin is known for its mystical, labyrinthine cave formations, the Vaida Caves.
So until we know more about the artefacts that have been unearthed from the belly of this beast, I would rule nothing out.
Not even giant furry dolphins flying over from India.

Vritra?!
That’s quite troubling…
seth you spelled artifacts wrong
Yes it is. Back in the days I had the form of a drache I wandered the seas for a while since I didn’t like heights (It was sort of a sudden change). One of the many beasts I encountered was a hairy creature that looked long and slender and had a strange beak like mouth. He called himself Vritra and he originally taught me the ways of a sea serpent. From him is derived my respect of sea serpents. To find that he is dead is sad news indeed.
Being a water dragon, I had several chance encounters with him, some more pleasant than others.
I wonder if it’s like the sea monster seen of the coast Ireland a couple of years ago. Lol
Oh no… THE PLATYPUS DOLPHIN ARMY IS ATTACKING! RUN! RUN IN FEAR PUNY HUMANS!
hi reaper havent seen you in a long time!
Hello the blustar! I lost my mind somewhere on SOS. Can you help me find it?
I have a few spare minds if you want any, just don’t eat them, they taste terrible.
I leave you guys alone for five seconds and look at the mess you’ve gotten into…
*Noah hands reaper his mind*
I came back to return this.
I found this down in accounting about three weeks ago…
I would have returned it sooner but you know how paperwork can pile up…
It’s a wonder how you didn’t notice it was gone sooner…
Wait.
Is that.
Zyboragan!
Ah!!!
I’m a huge fan of the scythes synthesized from the scales reaper corps stole from you…
Oops…
I wasn’t supposed to tell you that…
–RB
See Reaper Corps…
I’m actually not your universe’s Zyboragon, I’m an alternate version from another universe, so I guess it doesn’t matter that you told me.
Long story short the universe that we are both residents of has become like a half way realm. Oh and now there is a void equivalent of every creature that was on your original Ark so yeah everyone from a bunch of different realms and side realms is trying to fix it and the only thing we both know for sure is that Noah Eden, the rider of the pale horse, and the mad hatter are all from the reality they are currently in which makes absolutely no sense so just go with it which reminds me I found that catalyst you wanted
I can understand the confusion, I’ll try to make a post with a complete summary of everything that’s happened, hopefully that will help make sense of things.
Of course people fanboy over you, everyone always loved Zyboragon!!! No one ever gets that excited over… wait I’m not even Mr. Mutt… Whoa it’s been years since I existed. I fell through that hole in the universe and now I’m here. How are things?
I think he was fanboying more about Reaper’s scythes.
I doubt I have any fans, all of us Zyboragons are pretty terrible.
Anyways,
Things are fine, reality has shifted a few times and I accidentally turned Ice into a female…
Maybe things aren’t fine actually…
Hmm that does seem to be an issue. But hey on the bright side it would appear all of the alternate versions of us have been rather benign so far.
MORE TEA?
What kind?
THE KIND YOU DRINK.
Ha ha ha funny
I don’t have tea I do have fairy wine.
Will that do?
Catveena… turn slowly and run for your life.
Run!
ok sure thing.
Why am I running? I thought Arc was good?
I uh… I think reality just changed again.
ARC IS …
ARC!!
He’s shifting reality!! Everyone duck and cover!
I’m going to rip out all of you’re intestines and strangle you with them!!! Who dares disturb my reality?!?!
Aw what’s the worst that could happen?
Hello, I’m the Druid. Embodiment of life. How may I help you?
(…is there some history here? Record shows Mr. Mutt at Druid homeworld…)
I’m no one Susan just ignore me
I’m starting to think being banished here was a huge mistake.
–Catveena
There’s.. Worse places? Maybe?
Lol yup your right like that cat hair dimension lol
Gah?!?!? Now even the site is being distorted!
uhh im not very good at finding things and just cause im a genetic WW doesnt mean ive got the nose of a bloodhound
-Bluestar
*Noah’s dimension map explodes into fire as he throws it from his wrist*
Hatter?!?!
What is going on, why is reality shifting like this?!?!
The multiverse is based on order!
*Noah begins a nervous twitch*
I Just don’t think i can handle this!!!
*Noah curls up into a ball, his logical nature unable to handle the chaos*
RB
*Noah composes himself, and braces for reality warping*
I think I may know where the disturbance originated…
I tired it…
I attempted to enter the collapsed “Lilith World” to try to find the source of the faux cycle you and I defeated awhile back…
It should have been fine if I had the catalyst…
But I couldn’t pass up the chance when I finally had a solid lead…
So I went anyway…
Let me put it this way, a collapsed star is a black hole…
As for a collapsed dimension… I don’t even know if there are words to explain it…
After entering, I saw a huge flash of energy…
Then nothing, I assumed I blacked out…
When I woke up, I was sleeping on my desk behind a stack of paperwork to fill out…
My theory is, because “Lilith World” was built in a localized area of the void, the disturbance I caused created a ripple across the multiverse, because the void is connected to all words.
That would explain why I was sent to an alternate universe where I was sitting at my desk, and because I was at the epicenter of the disturbance, I retained my knowledge of it…
It may be just a theory, but it all seems to add up to me…
RB
Noah, everything is fine reality is just getting ready to wake up. Think of it like the loading screen on a computer, that makes sense right? Objects revolving around a central point then everything is fine when the revolving stops. We just need to find a way to get everything to go back to where it should be so everyone can do what it needs to do, now you told me last we met you needed something to help with faster than light travel, do you still need that catalyst or are you ok with what you have?
Sorry in mod :p
Long story short, I have a theory about what cause the disturbance in the first place…
I tried entering the universe sized equivalent of a black hole (Lilith’s world constructed in the void)
Without the catalyst because I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to follow a lead I had about the Origen of the faux cycle. I blacked out and found myself sitting at my desk doing paperwork (presumably shifted to a dimension where I was doing paperwork instead of traveling into a massive black hole) I theorized that upon entering I caused a ripple across the void which is why we are experiencing theese disturbances, sort of like ripples of water on a lake. If my theory is correct we can calculate the intervals of the ripples and predict when the next reality shift will take place.
RB
So that would mean that reality needs to keep shifting naturally, the more we’ve forced the shifts to occur, the worse things have gotten.
Of all the things to overlook… Gah.
Not quite… But close…
Reality will keep shifting faster and faster if we do not cause anymore ripples to occur, meaning that eventually it will ripple so fast, it won’t be noticeable. However whenever some one causes theese ripples they slow down the intervals between them, causing the time it will take for the shifts to become unnoticeable longer and longer. My proposed plan of action is, yes, to let it ride out.
While morgensterns initial disruption caused the first ripples, my disturbance has continued the reaction by providing energy. My theory is based upon the simple fact of science, the smaller the interval the smaller the wave. I’d rather have millions of small waves every second, than one huge one every million years. See my point?
RB
I do, basically your saying that flipping through everything in less than a second is better than a pole shift causing reality to mutate. I actually have been taking into consideration a few understandable measures and it appears not ALL of reality is part of this convergence and divergence event just 18 of 36 realms, that is all of them that are on THIS side of the mirror thankfully that actually gives a template for where things shoul be. Oh and Noah if you can figure out a way to speed this process up I will give you something that on its own can help you travel from here to any realm known to have magyk
Sorry, my multiversal knowlage is a little rusty, reapers don’t get out of the office much in my division. Can you be ever so kind as to jog my memory of the 36 realms. Unlike other imortals, reapers’ minds continue to age, so we are prone to bouts of seniority.
About speeding up the process.
I don’t want to try anything that may cause it to go slower by accident. Once I’m absolutely sure, then I will try.
About the catalyst.
Do you still have it? Because there is still the matter of the lead I found about who created the faux cycle. With the catalyst I’ll be able to try and enter Lilith’s collapsed universe (theoretically without a hitch this time)
RB
Noah you realize that the best catalyst is actually *hands Noah a jar he handed to me some weeks before that still contains the demon* a soul that has a passion for power. Your average soul can make rain occurr but a demonic soul that tried to take over a reaper? That thing can be used as fuel for a star if used correctly, why do you think when I mentioned your past when telling the others about finding a catalyst for FTL travel? Demons and souls the two things you work with as a reaper. So what exactly is the reason you want to fly yourself into a collapsed reality?
*noah takes the jar and shivers out of disgust*
Like a black hole, you can see the collapses star within if you breech the singularity. The only safe way to do that is by travel at FTL speeds. I tried it anyway without the catalyst. I want to see the collapsed dimension within because I have a lead that tells me that’s the place the faux cycle originated. I need to make sure the faux cycle is never created again…
RB
Don’t you find it funny that the only reason the reaper corps was after you was to jail you for crimes against the reaper corps that you only “committed” in order to save the multiverse? Oh and you know how nothing can escape a black hole? Well a collapsed dimension works the same way in the sense that nothing can get out unless it doesn’t exist luckily both of us have the unique quality of only two versions of us existing across the multiverse: hatter/rettah and TL/LT which means that officially speaking we don’t exist
Hmm… inter-dimensional travel has become much simpler. Now you’re plan to ride this out may work… however much like a machine, that you overclock, the multiverse will begin to malfunction. I’m not just talking about these shifts. If these shifts continue to accelerate the very fabric of reality will begin to wear away. Instead of shifting from one universe to the next, we will all begin to exist inside of one universe. This is something that we DO NOT WANT.
Don’t worry Mr. Mutt. As soon as I replenish the magic of this world; everything will be fine.
I feel weird thin
What’s happening I I I I.
Fading I can’t feel * looks at them all*
Why why why why why why why why why why why why.
I say it’s a gamble…
*noah does some more calculations on penelope*
About 50/50 to be exact…
Alright, it seems we’ve come to quite a predicament, do we:
A) Do nothing and let the disturbance ride out until one of two things happen, we all exist in one single universe leading to our ultimate demise, or the multiverse retains it’s dimensional integrity and things return to normal.
B) Continue to delay either effect of option A from happening and just deal with the consequences of the reality shifts.
I say we put it to a vote.
Who’s with me?
RB
Either way something bad is probably going to happen.
I vote B.
Wait, you just said it was a fifty fifty split… YES I CAN WORK WITH THIS!!! Funny thing is that whenever a tough choice between two outcomes is presented it was decided in the old days by the flip of a coin at the temple of Janus, now the coin was just a representation of the randomness of the universe but the side it landed on and as a result the course of action taken was the deciding factor which was controlled by me as creator of the first coin, and by extension because someone got lazy the God of doorways and choices so in all literal fact *leans slightly to the right and a reality quake is felt resulting in everything returning to how it was before the first reality shift that started this as a magyk energy returns to this reality* we all got saved by a coincidence
Yeah well you see Morgenstern kinda kicked everything off when he prematurely destroyed this universes version of me. Oh I’m The Mutt by the way, omnipotent godlike ruler of my native universe pleasure to meet you
ARC THE GODSLAYER AT YOUR SERVICE. NOW DlE!
So Morgenstern kiIIs Mutt, reality shifts and causing alternate versions of myself and Mutt to appear, reality shifts again, different dimensional void creatures appear, Ice then shifted reality causing me to panic and then I shifted reality, turned Ice female and let ARC watch Doctor Who, and now ARC shifted everything again but I’m not sure what happened.
I’m not sure if I forgot anything so forgive me if I’ve missed something as it’s not intentional… All this reality shifting has given me quite a headache.
i didnt feel any reality shift- OH WAIT
*penelope shifts into a laptop as she jumps into noahs arms, he appears to be calculating somthing*
Yes…
I see…
However, the point of divergence in the timeline you discribed would indeed be able to shift reality, the reaction is subject to the law of decay, meaning the intervals between shifts would slow each time… But according to my readings they are speeding up!
*Noah calculates somthing else*
Ah ha!
Morgenstern caused the mens, yes, but it was my disturbance that is providing the energy to continue the reaction!
Meaning that the next disturbance should be right about… NOW!
*reality begins to once again shift*
RB
*means not mens
*Now that the universe has returned to normal, Noah feels his magick return to him as a smile creeps out from behind his pale lips. He reaches into the pocket of his black, ash-caked WW2 trench coat, and pulls out a reality marble leading to the forest of familiers, the extra dimensional plane given to him as a childhood gift from his mother, Lilith mother of daemons. The plane always contains a pair of every animal species on the planet earth at any given time, complete with corispinding habits for each one. But it also contains something else, his ark… Noah sticks the jar hatter gave him underneath his arm and dawns his black shades and beret.*
Anyome up for flying a ship into the event horizon of the largest black hole in the multiverse?
RB
You’ve got to be crazy, but then again they say to survive in this world you have to be mad as a hatter. *hatter gives a devil may care grin as he taps Noah’s beret changing it into a fez* which luckily I am, do you mind explaining what exactly might go wrong? Oh and can we start all this off on the 24th of July because I actually have a few things I need to do before we just go off into the aether and fly ourselves into a collapsing dimension
Take all the time you need, you know where to find me…
*Noah pops the marble back into his pocket as Penelope shifts into a scythe. Noah takes the scythe with both hands and tears a hole into reality, leading the his office in reaper headquarters, stacks of papers as high as the ceiling sit on his desk, and an angry reaper stands scouring at Noah, arms crossed and tapping his foot impatiently. Noah hangs let’s out a sigh and hangs his head in defeat*
Now that you mention it hatter, I’ve got quite a few few things to take care of myself…
*Noah steps through the tear and you can hear the first couple of words the angry reaper says before it closes, “Why you little…”*

*hatter knocks on the door to Noah’s office a full day after his appointment with him* Agent RB open up its Hatter. I understand that I am a day late but you had a lot of paperwork to do
*Hatter can hear Noah’s muffled screams for help through the door, after opening it he can see a sea of paper work, and a single hand of noah’s sticking up out of the pile twitching…*
RB
*hatter grabs Noah’s hand and pulls hard until he can see Noah’s face* I probably shouldn’t have left you alone, if you just gather three things we can be on our way and I can have my shadow take care of the paperwork you have left over. Please tell me you didn’t lose the demon in a jar
*noah stands up rater cautiously and thanks hatter*
Oh my! A good old fashioned quest! I like it, though what I might ask do we need other than my ship and the FTL drive/demon in a jar, to get to where we are going?
RB
Nothing other than an actual way of creating a portal through which to get from here to there for example your cat. Which means everything he need is either on hand or in your pocket so let’s go before someone realizes I drew a moustache on what I believe was a statue of D eath himself
*Noah hears the foots steps of angry reapers coming down the hall an quickly activates his reality marble. Hatter and noah find themselves in a massive forest with the ark towering over them.*
Let’s get going then!
*Noah attaches the daemon in a jar, to the hull of the ark. He places his hands in the wheel and the ark acends into the sky.*
I trust that you can handle teleporting our ship the the collapsed dimension…
RB
Yes *throws my hat in front of the ark and we are pulled into the portal slowly as I check my watch* twelve minutes nineteen seconds, their getting slower
