Subject Report: Ep-023-PV "The Pale Origin of the Games"

Filed by: The Archivist

Date: September 25, 2025

Overview: This dossier seeks to trace the enigmatic origins of the Olympic Games, as directed by new findings within the margins of our Ashen Gospel. Conventional history tells of the Olympic Games originating in Ancient Greece—a celebration of physical prowess and divine tribute. However, recent discoveries suggest a far older, esoteric conception tied directly to The Pale Veil and the symbols of ◬ located in Hollow Pines.

The Archivist: "Entry 23, September 12th, five past midnight. The unearthing of the Ashen Gospel's supposedly missing verse 13 last fortnight has propelled our understanding into new realms. I've correlated the texts with the geographic abnormalities of Hollow Pines. Every four years, the veil between worlds thins, not coincidentally aligning with the Olympic cycle."

[Sound of pages turning]

The Archivist: "The Gospel speaks of 'the champions of dust, shielded by the Pale Veil.' This aligns with records of Ancient Olympia, where champions were crowned amidst supernatural occurrences—whispers of the gods, yes, but possibly whispers from beyond the veil?"

[Faint humming in the background - possibly The Choir rehearsing or chanting.]

The Archivist: "The games were not mere sport but a ritual. The ancients knew this; the five rings, interlocking yet separate, symbolize not just the continents but also the five stages of the ritual, as stated under the glyph ◬ in our text."

[The sound of a bell ringing softly]

Exhibit A: Photographic Evidence

• Photo 1: An aerial shot of Hollow Pines with markings overlaid showing a pattern mimicking the Olympic Rings, dated 2025.
• Photo 2: Ancient Greek potteries showing athletes surrounded by odd, faint glyphs resembling ◬, dated circa 400 BCE.
• Photo 3: The recently discovered verse 13 of the Ashen Gospel, handwritten and barely legible. The marginalia depict what appears to be an athletic contest but with spectral figures as spectators.

Theoretical Implications: The intercalation of the Ashen Gospel with recent archaeological finds at Hollow Pines suggests the Olympic Games served as a ritualistic calibration, a realignment of energies between our world and the spectral dimensions. The Games could be a vestige of an ancient pact or a ceremonial gatekeeping task laid down by The Pale Veil to maintain balance between forces seen and unseen.

The Archivist: "The alignment of the Olympic cycle with temporal distortions around Hollow Pines cannot be dismissed as mere coincidence. The recurrence of peculiar local phenomena every four years, especially around the time of the Olympic torch relay, underlines this pattern."

[Background noise of wind chimes, reacting to an unseen breeze]

The Archivist: "Furthermore, the missing page 13 of the Choir ledgers, which might detail participations and observations during Olympic years, remains elusive. One must consider if the page was purposefully excised to keep the ritual's true nature hidden."

[Sound of someone whispering: "We do not sleep. We wait."]

Marginalia Notes:

• Note 1: "Verify alignment of ◬ glyphs with Olympic sites. Potential gateways?"
• Note 2: "Research further into The Choir’s role. Could their chants be a form of spectral invocation during the Games?"
• Note 3: "Need to find the lost ledger page. It might contain crucial clues about the rituals performed under the guise of opening ceremonies."

Conclusion:

The investigation lays bare the possibility that the Olympic Games are far more than a legacy of human athletic excellence—they may be a deeply embedded cosmic ritual, integral to the fabric of our reality and the balance of planes beyond our understanding. As we continue to peel back layers, we must tread carefully, mindful of the forces these revelations may disturb.

As the next Olympic year approaches, The Pale Veil’s operatives must be vigilant. The games must go on, but not merely as a global spectacle of sportsmanship. We stand on the precipice of ancient truths, and the real games played are not just for medals, but for the dominion over realms intersecting our own.

"We do not sleep. We wait." This phrase, often repeated, could signify an anticipation of something monumental—a reset of the mortal coil as prophesied. The opening of the next Games could well be the eve of this cycle's completion.
