Daryl (Killer Vossler)

A new night a new night security guard as the old one has gone missing, our new guard is now working her shift watch over the new exhibition swapped in with some rather interesting art pieces on display, with them being just as lively at night time, Let’s see how long she lasts!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the other creations of Zeiros Geinn, this sculpture is said to depict the Malformed Phantasm. Also known as the Spectre of Dissonance. Created during the grotesque period of his art that he's known for, it is the largest sculpture that Zeiros Geinn created by a large scale, dwarfing the smaller effigy like statuettes he had created by a bit, and standing over 3 feet taller than his piece "Scorpion". 

The Malformed Phantasm, according to various folk legends and Geinn himself, was an ancient entity akin to a god of war. An ancient being that fell to Earth from a star with the other great ones, and brought the concept of strife to the beasts of the world. It would pit creatures against one another in battle, and grant strange abilities to those who won, giving them status, food, and mates as well as physical and magical abilities at the price of having a quickly deteriorating mind. It's name was recorded as being Vokhaarv'Ra the Malformed Phantasm, though it was also known as Vokhah, Av-Ra, or Khaav'Raa in various texts such as the Pnakotic manuscripts. It was denoted as one of the Great ones, along with Rhan-Tegoth and Ibeb-D'halx-Oss that bound their bodies in mummified flesh to hide in the gate when they were sealed away, ready to emerge in their psychic presence once the stars are right and they are awakened from their endless slumber.

Zeiros Geinn claimed that it wasn't even a sculpture, and was instead an actual mummified creature found in a strange area of the Dresden Heath in Germany where a strange cave system and a deep burial ground was located with signs of tools and civilization dating back to the 5th century, pushing the timeline back an astonishing 7 centuries from the other tools and bronze age evidence that had been found in the location prior. Zeiros Geinn is said to have claimed the mummified creature while on an expedition with J.C. Everly Atkinson, and it is said that they suffered a falling out due to his claim over the creature in attempts to deliver it as a gift to the Occultist, Aristocrat, and Art Collector Vivian Lockwood-Smythe as she was known through the art world for her act of consuming mummies and other ancient artifacts in attempts to gain power through them.

Zeiros claimed that he had fallen into a weakened part of the earth with two others, and explored this underground passage while waiting for rescue, and located the strange twisted statue sitting among several other small effigies of figures with bloated heads and warped features, and many skeletons sitting dead and mummified in a prayer like position. The statue held in it's outstretched hand, a strange and ancient axe made of silver, and in the other hand it held a strange brooch. Whenever one of the men with him touched the axe, he went into fits of rage and violence that took the entire expedition team to quell as they had to fight him off while swinging the axe, saying it felt as if he had the strength of 3 men when wielding it. During the night when he slept, Zeiros had terrible dreams of a man with a bloated head speaking to him and the other men and making them offers, telling the man that he could have the axe, the other he could have the brooch, and Zeiros that the body was his. During this time, the man who found the axe killed the other man that was with them, and was then later found twisted and mangled before the statue. In his dreams the statue would approach Zeiros and watch him sleep as it twisted and contorted it's body around him. He became fearful and left the expedition after having an argument with one of the servant women in the group, and she was found dead the following day also twisted into a broken form. 

He left early, and the statue came with him against his will. Whenever he returned home, he awoke with the statue in his living room the next day, and after returning it to the museum, he once again ended with it in his home the following night. J.C. Atkinson claimed that he had stolen it, and he claimed that it was not stolen, but that the creature wouldn't leave him alone. Some stories say that it was the catalyst that ended up leading to the death of Mrs. Lockwood-Smythe in such a brutal manner, and that J.C. Everly Atkinson had not left on bad terms with Mr. Geinn, but that they worked together to attempt to put the creature back to sleep, something which was referenced in the 12th journal of the adventurer. More may exist, however the 13th through 16th journals of Atkinson have never been found to this day, and are still considered lost history. 

It is believed by most that this statue was indeed given an outlandish story by the artist to cause fear and awe in his works as he did with most of his other work, and it's certainly been portrayed as cursed ever since with many serial killers over the years leaving dead bodies before it and making it seem as if the statue had done it. Because of this the statue was not available for public viewing for nearly 50 years.

Those who view the statue claim to occasionally have nightmares of the creature depicted arriving in their home, often times with a strange man in a suit with a bulbous head offering them various items to improve their lives for a small piece of mind. The inordinate number of violent deaths that have occurred to those who get pictures taken with the sculpture has added to the legend that it could be cursed, however there is no evidence that the statue is an ancient mummy, nor that it can move on it's own...

"A Security guard was found dead this morning, adding to a string of strange deaths and disappearances taking place at the Kyosu Art Museum that has left employees and artists baffled. Over the last few months, the Art Museum has been under fire for lacking certain safety regulations and not enough security after a highschool girl was killed, had her legs violently amputated, with the rest of her body missing. This added to a missing persons case involving a previous security guard, and now the brutal death of another guard is putting people on edge and making them wonder if this is the work of a copycat killer. A man named Karl Beckman killed four young women back in 1899, placing them mangled and broken before the statue in some sort of ritual. Since then serial killers have done so on 8 different occasions, leading to the statue being closed off from the public for an extended period to prevent it from being used in strange rituals..."
