1 Faith

Yo. I need you to understand. We're sending this journal into the past for a reason: to warn you. You might think to yourself at some point while reading, "Why are they telling me this small stuff? They ended up being wrong about this. Why didn't they explain this?"

Trust me, it all matters. And at first, we thought that this was only going to be a journal. You know, to maybe share with our grandsquiddos? But it ended up being way more important than that.

I ended up adding this in after I wrote all of the following because I knew that I would need to get it out short and sweet. But first, we need to get things straight, you know, explaining wise.

Get ready to get on the Explain Train, choo choo, and I'll be your Captain, Captain Faith here. Let me just punch the holes in your tickets, sit down in your seats, I'd recommend sitting forwards, no putting your hands or feet outside of the car- okay I'm getting carried away here. I'll just start.

This started way in the year 3178. Humanity had just fought another war. A world war. That took out 999/1000 of the population- well not exactly, I just want to make a point.

Technology. People were obsessed with power. This doesn't really have anything to do with me specifically later on...so....The last of mankind was sick and was then washed out by the sea.

Eventually, when sea levels lowered, species evolved. Squids evolved into inklings, a mix of squid and human. Then octopus evolved into octolings. They were a mix of human and octopus.

We don't look that weird. Don't worry, the only differences are that:

1: We have colored tentacles as hair (kinda cartoony ones)

2:(This one's weirder) We can transform into mini squid or octopus form and swim through ink

Other than that, we're not that weird. Here, I'll show you a picture of inklings and octolings:

I look like the one in the middle.

I have lavender tentacles, with light violet eyes, and dark skin. Octolings don't have the same eyes as inklings, as there is no line over their noses. Anyway, kind of got off track there.

The octolings were at war with the inklings for almost 59 years, because of fighting for the small emoting of land. Then finally inklings took over society, and the octolings went into hiding. The modern inklings still know of this war, which we call the Great Turf War, while currently living in the world of 6479 S.T., Splatoon Time
