If you perceive them, you forget them. If you try to study them, the knowledge disappears. And yet, humanity is already at war with entities that operate this way.In this world, there exists a secret department dedicated to fighting threats that literally cannot be remembered. Agents investigate creatures, patterns, and conceptual entities that vanish from awareness the moment you stop looking at them. The result is a deeply unsettling kind of horror, where the greatest danger isn’t what you can see, but what you can’t even remember exists.👽 Please consider supporting this channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ideasoficeandfireor PAYPAL - https://paypal.me/QuinnsIdeas?locale.x=en_US🎨 Art: Thumbnail: https://www.instagram.com/p/DTA7WTWDsgm/https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_fnhCYrsBrYAYL2KOyrNVuNItu2JZSchBFO3-ink14Q/edit?usp=sharing🎵 Music: https://www.youtube.com/@JamezDahlMusic📚 Get These Books!
