(Scars do not appear to be cause of death –shock ... - Bad Request

It hit me, like a flash of lightning piercing the sky.
Just as I had re-hooked the bone frame after another period of studying it
(took a bunch of notes to find some pattern to decipher it... wasted a lot of
blood) I was struck with a strange thought... what if the interior pages aren't
supposed to make any sense? I... or whoever I was at the time... put the
symbols there to deceive anyone looking to read the real contents, which
were hidden somewhere else on the journal frame.
Powers above, this one was paranoid…
With some fiddling I found one of the bones had a long hairline fracture
around one of its ends. I put my hand over the edge and twisted off the top
of the bone, revealing a hollow space. Inside was a small, rolled-up scrap of
skin.
It was covered in writing, with words scrawled over and over it again until it
was almost illegible. Nonetheless, I was able to make out some of the words
and symbols...
“TRAPPed TraPped LADY'S WILL be done DODge her gaze... too
MANY I KILL'd, too MANY strangle and kill and stop the BREATH
in their throats... there's a WAY OUT I KNOW it then I'll give the
BLADed one the laugh...
...ONE of the ARCHEZ holds way Out, ONE of them does, ONE has
the way out, can't just keep GOING through them one at a time,
maybe - maybe I should go through one, THEN walk back to the same
portal without...”
The entry trailed off into indecipherable scrawls.
If this one had been mazed for killing too many, I wondered who it was that
was mazed for praying to the Lady. How many incarnations had been
trapped here? How many had died and reawakened in this pit of madness?
Actually, I didn't want to know.
