Echoes Of Ikko

​They are not enough. Just copies of him, unfinished, unbound by flesh and blood. I must try again and obtain another vessel. This time, alive.

​I will bring him back - whole, not bony and broken. Not turned inside out. Not howling and screaming. Just whole, the way he was before. My next attempt must succeed. ​The newest living vessel is sublime. The perfect fur to rip away and reveal a husk ready to carry his soul. This time, it will work. It simply must. I will get my Ikko back.

​Burst into flames upon ritual completion. Horrible howling. Stench? Even worse. Skeleton is still useful, though. Conclusion: No ever-burning candles. Use regular instead.

​Came back wrong. Had teeth growing all over. Organs were already rotted because the carcass was too old. Conclusion: Consider acquiring a living dog and killing it to have a fresh corpse for a vessel.

​Acquired fresh, living subject. Will add notes once the ritual has been completed.

​You've found the gravestone of a dog named Ikko. The inscription read:​

​"Your memory will live on forever. "
