The Kno

Ever since civilizations began to record history, there were always these strange figures included.

Quite tall, almost impossibly slender, and in the shape of humans.

They were always recorded wearing gray hooded robes that covered their bodies. The robes all had thin purple lines that ran down from the hood to the bottom, most of the time being difficult to see. Their faces were always covered by plain white masks that had single, small horizontal black lines that must’ve been how they saw, but even then it was unknown.

They had never been seen without their masks on. There was no way of knowing what was beneath them.

As drawings and paintings became replaced with photographs, The Kno were still spotted, albeit less frequently.

Instead of being there for seemingly everything that happened, they were only ever photographed at important events throughout history.

It was unknown why, but they were primarily spotted on the planet Earth more than any other world.

It was often thought to be a myth, maybe people messing around with photoshop to trick people.

But that changed when a camera was found in the middle of the jungle.

A man was making his way down the Amazon River, recording his journey while wearing a camera attached to his clothing.

His small boat suddenly hit rough water, like it was created out of nowhere.

A small storm inside the river, the trees being blown around as the waves became tsunami-like, hitting and submerging the boat until it was broken into the smallest possible pieces.

The man was thrown from his boat and landed hard on the river bank, quickly being knocked out by a rock hitting him in the back of his head.

As he laid on the side of the river, the camera continued to record.

The water became slow and peaceful very quickly, disappearing as if nothing happened in the first place.

One of The Kno, moved over, caught by the camera. Their masked face went close to the man’s masked face before grabbing him and carrying him with ease, like he weighed nothing.

The camera was hidden well enough that The Kno didn’t notice it.

The camera continued to record the ground as the man was carried. It passed over grass and dirt, but loud rustling could be heard before the camera went through a very thick bush. Once it made its way through, the body was lowered to the ground with the camera able to see upwards.

There were hundreds of Kno standing in the forest. The trees were covered in large huts with nothing connecting them. In the background, it was possible to see Kno walking on air from one hut to another.

The group on the ground huddled around the man lying unconscious.

They didn’t speak, but they seemed to be communicating somehow. After a minute or so, The Kno stepped back.

The man began to float a few inches off the ground and moved alongside some of The Kno as they walked.

Their robes never moved, making it appear as if they were floating.

The man was then floated higher up into the air towards one of the huts attached to the trees.

He floated inside while more Kno stood.

They surrounded his body and began to wave their hands around over his body.

There was still no talking, but the man’s body began to softly glow and hum.

Once the glowing and humming stopped, it was the very next frame the camera was back outside the woods, looking up towards the blue sky.

The man immediately sat up and looked around confused.

“What the…what happened?” He asked himself as he reached down and took his camera.

The camera suddenly went black after he turned it off to later watch the footage.

When he watched the footage back, everything after he was knocked out became pure static.

Nobody was to ever see The Kno.
