Aria Vulvokov's Journal
Downtime
After the nightmare on the island, I’ve finally returned home. It’s been a week of quiet, a strange kind of downtime after the chaos. It’s odd how silence can feel both comforting and unnerving after such an.. interesting day.
I’ve spent most of my days just sitting here, looking up at the sky. There’s something oddly soothing about the vast expanse above, a reminder of how small and insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things. It’s like the sky is a canvas, stretching out infinitely, holding secrets and mysteries of its own. It’s been a refuge, a place to clear my mind and try to make sense of what happened.
Every time I look up, I think about the island, the ritual, and the people we encountered. The vivid memories of those final moments haunt me, but there’s a certain clarity that comes with observing the sky. It’s as if, in its boundlessness, I find a semblance of peace, a place where the nightmares can’t reach.
The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).
