Huntress Diary: The Poisonous Jewel
There's no doubt about it. After the recent events I am certain that the white gem I found on Mobius is a Chaos Emerald. From what I've read from Mobian texts and some of the notes I borrowed from a Mobian scientist's lab, the chaos emeralds can not only power machines of mass destruction, but give certain creatures enhanced strength, speed, dexterity, and other unusual powers. Sonic, according to the notes, is one of these creatures, however, all seven are needed to unlock the full potential power and transformation. There is also another being, which the notes only indicate someone called "Shadow", that can teleport and slow time with simply one chaos emerald, and create blasts of "Chaos Energy", as well as this aforementioned transformation with seven chaos emeralds. Just one gave me and Gumball's weapon enough power to take down one of Robotnik's strongest drones; perhaps this is because of my already magical abilities and Gumball's ability to create vastly different machinery.
This did not come without negative consequence, however, as I could not control some of the power afterwards, almost hitting a pedestrian with a jolt of a light arrow, then proceeded to vomit a strange glowing red sludge. According to my analysis, the sludge was radioactive, much like the areas surrounding the mysterious ancient bombshells with the strange black and yellow symbol on them. I woke up this morning and looked at my hands. The veins in my hands are glowing a strange bright red; they are very sore, and I can feel a strange energy off of them. When I looked at my reflection, I noticed one of my eyes has turned black with a bright purple iris.
It seems the use of the emerald combining with my magic has caused adverse physical effects as well. I knew I felt something strange happening the longer it was with me. ...like it was slowly poisoning me, killing me from within...
But I just couldn't put it down.
Indeed, it seems as though my body is addicted to its power, and when it was sucked into the portal, I have been suffering horrible withdrawal. My body aches, I shiver uncontrollably, I become irrational, manic even, and I lash out at others. I know it's bad for me, but I'm even worse off without it. I'm at a loss of what to do, perhaps if I return to Mobius and find it again, it will at least ease the pain enough for me to study it, so that I might find a way to reverse it's effects.
