Journals: Book 1, Entry 06 Speaking in Tongues
Quatrain 11. Century 2. "The Starborn one will fly into the hearts of many"
A reading from the alien testament: "The Almighty Force looked down from above. They surveyed the galaxy, and what they found was Earth. And the Almighty Force said, Behold, the children of men...they are impure. They are imperfect. They are weak. We must establish our Kingdom on Earth. The children of men will welcome us with arms open wide. So the Almighty Force cast one of their own in the image of man. So the divine shepherd did come down from the stars to lead the lambs to the Aftertime..."
And he was called Elton Beleye. Word was out this rock star preacher claimed extra-terrestrial ancestry. Said he wanted to lead the hearts and minds of humanity towards an alien eternity. Sounded like hell on Earth to me. This is my reality. They are studying us. Testing us. Waiting to strike. But I'm not gonna clear my name without proof they're here, living among us. A blood test, a DNA sample...something. Which means I gotta expose one. Or catch one. I headed to Dutton, Georgia. Elton Beleye, the divine shepherd, got a new disciple.
I faked my way into the flock where I met Jenny and Cassandra, two sisters who had joined Elton some time ago. Jenny bought Eltons act completely. But I found out Cassandra became a follower to keep an eye on her sister. She believed Jenny was in danger. Her family had sent a private investigator to track Jenny down and pull her out of the cult, but he never came back. I sensed foul play in Eltons kingdom. Elton was intoxicated with the adulation of his followers. He posted guards around the compound to keep them inside. He took women away to his bed, some of whom never returned. He twisted the love of the flock into a bitter noose that threatened to hang them all. It was clear hed do anything to protect his position and maintain his power. But Elton Beleye promised salvation in the form of aliens who seek to destroy us. I planned to expose him and his deadly path. I had to convince the congregation of the truth first. Elton didnt realize a leader's real power lies in his followers
I keep these journals so that someday others will believe what I know to be true, and perhaps save this earth from the almighty, the all-terrible force that lies in silent wait. Elton Beleye said he could save his followers from the impending alien destruction. Hes gonna have to save himself from me first.
