I donāt have much time.
Yes, the title is correct. Despite the mass following of this blog, in lieu of recent events, Iāve decided to delete all previous postings. My passion for Royal Puppetry has not ended, however, my lifeās work and attention has shifted.
This may be cause for concern⦠and perhaps rightfully so.
Let me explainā¦
About 12 weeks ago, I received a package in the mail. Inside, a mysterious enclosure with⦠what I can only describe as an ancient āPandoraās boxā. Nothing else; no indication to what this might be or who sent it. Confused, but otherwise unfazed, I left it in my front room as a curiosity and tried to forget about it.
I could not. Itās odd markings and undefined purpose lingered in my mind for days. Just the thought of it taunted me relentlessly.
It has a 6-letter code. Iāve done the math. There are 308,915,776 possible solutions to unlock this device, so guesswork is impractical. Despite the impossible odds, I tried every 6-letter word that Google could come up with. I spent the better part of 8 weeks researching the device and its possible origin⦠I compiled a spreadsheet of 6-letter words and began crossing off the list⦠all to no avail.
Until about a week ago.
It was a phone call. A number I didnāt recognize. Even more odd was the country code. +55⦠Brazil.
My intuition kicked in⦠I hit ārecordā and answered the call.
The Lemon Hut?
I immediately went to the oddly-specific webpage and, after re-listening to my recorded call a few times⦠I figured it out. Glad I kept the box.
I had just been gifted the first letter to the Crypt.
The Lemon Hut⦠Iād never heard of itā¦
I spent the next few weeks learning everything I could. Pouring over the site and its contents; seeking out the answers I soon found myself obsessing over.
One by one⦠I found them.
At the time of this writing, I believe Iāve identified 3 of the 6 letters.
I canāt offer these now - everything will be explained in time - I promise to post more journal entries here when I can. Stay tuned.
