The Everafter Stones
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX is to be locked in reinforced titanium box measuring 14"x10"x7" lined with 4" thick standard foam inserts in the shape of each piece of SCP-XXXX. These imprints are to be spaced 3 inches apart to ensure the object does not trigger its anomalous effects.
Description:
Retrieved by foundation personnel in a home in 2015 in █████, Japan, SCP-XXXX resembles a pair of trinkets, that when put together form a diamond shape. Each trinket is composed of an outer section made from Larimar, while the inner portions are composed of obsidian, emitting a glow of unknown origin; however further studies have show this to be radioactive to some degree.
Tests have shown that once the objects are within around 2 inches of each other, the object emits several electric discharges between the two pieces, with increasing intensity the closer they are to each other until they meet. When the pieces are met together, the object will trigger a Nonstandard space time. Numerous tests confirm reality will distort around the object measuring approximately 5'0" in diameter, with a swirling vortex of unknown origin and properties forming consuming the user.
Anyone within this proximity is swiftly transported to a dimension with its own universal laws, designated "Nirvana" by foundation personnel. This dimension is said to be the land of the dead, where the souls of the damned are trapped in eternal suffering and destined to relive their deaths repeatedly for eternity. This realm has been designated as SCP-XXXX by foundation personnel. Research shows that method of transportation to the Nirvana have shown to only trigger when the object is held and the following is said, "Urna molestie at elementum eu facilisis sed odio morbi quis", suggesting that the trinkets are imbued with a black magic. Further research has concluded that returning to this dimension from the Nirvana involves the same process.
Nirvana
Item #: SCP-XXXX-1
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
Due to SCP-XXXX-1 being a nexus of multiple dimensions overlapping each other, containment is currently impossible. As a result of this, any method of communication to the outside world from within the Nirvana have proven to be ineffective.
In the event of the Sephirot of Knowledge, dubbed "The Seventh Pillar", located within the Nirvana being activated, Foundation personnel are to acknowledge this as an XK-Class scenario. Once the seventh pillar becomes active, it is unknown what will happen. Speculation and backed research into The Seventh Pillar and The Book of Shadows by top foundation personnel, indicates that due to the nature of the Nirvana, it will start to merge with the real world, forming the world of death. In the event that this happens, the Nirvana is to be counteracted with The Book of Shadows, as a last resort, by level 5 foundation personnel.
Description:
Discovered by foundation agents after a research session on SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX-1 is speculated to be the physical manifestation of the land of the dead. Its topology is composed of red, pulsating flesh with innards scattered on its walls and floors. Eyes and teeth have also been observed in several spots, with an old structure at its center. During an expedition by foundation agents, green tentacles have been shown to attack people if they are not careful where they are heading and what they are stepping on. Those who SCP-XXXX were seized from, when questioned, said that when █████ ███████, a former black magic practitioner created this realm from SCP-XXXX-2, it assumed the form of an old Japanese building. Study by the foundation's top analysts have said it consists of a nexus of multiple dimensions inhabited by vengeful spirits, those who died within SCP-XXXX-1 and those who were victims of the creator of SCP-XXXX-1. However, after SCP-XXXX-1's summoner was appeased and their soul left the dimension, it slowly returned to its original form and went out of control.
Within SCP-XXXX-1, six pillars have been observed, dubbed the "Pillars of the Six Demons" by foundation personnel, which serve as both part of the sealing and its control mechanism. Each one is held by a guardian of some sort, and is speculated can apparently only be removed from them safely by the acknowledged owner of The Book of Shadows. No attempts to remove these are to be made under any circumstances.
Several tests and extensive research, have said those who die within the walls of SCP-XXXX-1 will have their existence erased from the real world and their souls will be trapped inside, forced to relive the pain and suffering of the moment of their deaths over and over for eternity. While those present at their time of death recall their existence, nobody outside SCP-XXXX-1 will be aware.
When Foundation staff sent in for research and analysis returned, they reported corpses and mutilated bodies from previous victims were littered around the building. Because of this and the vengeful spirits claim, Foundation personnel are not to enter SCP-XXXX-1 at any time without an MTF Squad, 5 Class-D and at least one religious object per person.
The Book of Shadows
Item #: SCP-XXXX-2
Object Class: Thaumiel
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX-2 is to be sealed in a steel vault approximately 15"x15"x15" with a 20 digit pass code and stored in a room behind an industrial fence, with a heavy blast shelter door as the only entrance. Small air vents may be admitted but must be securely covered at all times. SCP-XXXX-2 may not be accessed at any time unless by direct order from O5 council. In the event the Seventh Pillar becomes active and the SCP-XXXX-1 begins to merge with our world, SCP-XXXX-2 is permitted to be accessed and taken to the Seventh Pillar, where its acknowledged owner is to be taken to seal SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-2 must acknowledge this individual as their owner for this to work.
Foundation personnel must ensure they make it to the pillar safely, then leave them with one security officer to make sure this task is performed, lest their existence be erased. It is speculated that if the individual does not possess great spiritual power, their body will be in a permanently damaged physical and mental state as a result of sealing SCP-XXXX-1 inside of their soul, and they will lose their existence as well. Hypothetically, it is possible to return them to our world with SCP-XXXX-1 sealed by use of SCP-XXXX, and that whoever does this, may retain memory of the subject's existence but risks their existence as well.
What happens when SCP-XXXX-1 is sealed is unknown, speculation shows that it may begin to break down and collapse. Further speculation and study predicts that when this happens, the trapped souls of those who died there will be released and their existence restored.
Description:
The book is crafted from human skin and animal hides, and has a skull design sewn onto the front cover. This design appears to come alive when alone with its acknowledged owner, eyes glowing red, darting around and a mouth that is capable of splitting apart inhuman amounts. There are two scratch marks resembling two Fuþark (Futhark) runes, Ansuz and Hagalaz, on the upper left and bottom right corner of the cover respectively.
The contents of the book contain instructions on numerous spells and rituals written by witches of the olden days. Due to many Witch Hunts killing off Witches, magic was shunned. In order to ensure that all knowledge of magic was not forgotten, they created SCP-XXXX-2 and passed it down from generation to generation within the ███████ family. So far, foundation staff have only been able to translate three spells.
Land of Corpses: A spell to open the door of the dead - Assumed to be the spell used by ████ ███████ to create SCP-XXXX-2.
Raising of Corpses: A spell to resurrect the dead - A forbidden spell capable of reviving the dead, but may also curse the casters. The spell requires two casters.
Fact Loop: A spell only the acknowledged owner of the book can use, allowing them to revert time. Even if the same fate cannot be avoided, the road taken to get there may differ.
