It's Ok That's How You Read Language

I had my translation programs working overtime, they weren't coming up with much, but seeing the little lights flashing made me think I was doing something. I also had my tome of ancient interpretations out. The book didn't really help me, since none of the language it had in it corresponded with anything on the stone, but I was hoping something similar would spark something in my head. I dunno really I was just hoping if I stared at a bunch of different languages something would work out. I was about to just throw my work down in a huff when a word came through in my head.

"Day" I don't know how I read it, or even spotted it. But day was there on the stone, all over the stone, I could see day I could see the word. I put that into my translation program and soon enough more words were showing up. I couldn't be sure if it was the program or some connection to the light stone, but I could read like I'd never been able to read before.

From what I could understand the stone was a warning. Some kind of evil or corruption. The people who wrote the stone explained how they tried to work with it. Hoped to understand it and have it cooperate with them, only for whatever it was to turn on them. Slowly bending and twisting them to it's ways. I was still working on translations, because some of it didn't make any sense. Like I struggled with the concepts of how this species talked of itself. I couldn't be sure if the thing that destroyed their society was internal or an external source. Also I wasn't entirely sure why the Object was buried in the ground and who the warning was meant for.

I had the fever then, I needed to know everything about the object. I needed to know everything about the people who made it. I didn't even notice I'd opened it up and it was no longer and obelisk and was instead a very large tablet. The room had also gotten lighter, and writing was all over the walls. I didn't notice these things, but Luke who had come down to see if I needed food did, and he screamed in terror.

Which was an odd way to react to enlightenment, but people who aren't me tend to react negatively to new things...
