[QUOTE="talien, post: 3262259, member: 3285"] [b]Deus Ex Machina - Part 4b: Psychological Torture Chamber[/b] An eternity passed. Quintus lay there in the darkness until the door opened again. “Quintus! Are you…are you okay? Ilmarė opened the cage. Quintus didn’t come out. She went into the cage with him. “Quintus,” said Ilmarė. She touched him on the arm. Quintus blinked. Slowly, he turned to focus on her. “Gods…” he said. His voice was hoarse from screaming. He clutched the elf to him. “It’s okay,” said Ilmarė. “Khorbon…that bastard!” said Quintus. “He killed Parsippus. He tried to drive me mad.” “You’re safe now,” said Ilmarė. “Beldin and Cal are with me. I can stay here if you need me.” Ilmarė took off her cloak and put it around Quintus. “No! No, I’m okay. You have to go after the Brotherhood,” he let her go, staring into Ilmarė’s eyes. “They’re opening a portal to a place called Carcosa. They’re using Ambrose to do it. You’ve got to stop them!” “I’ll do my best,” said Ilmarė. She looked at the naked legionnaire with concern. He had lost weight. Quintus’ face was haggard and drawn, with over a week’s worth of beard. “How long have I been in here?” “I don’t know,” said Ilmarė. “I haven’t heard from you in three weeks. I thought,” she fumbled with the words. “I thought that maybe you had changed your mind.” Quintus shook his head. “Three weeks!” He looked around, too weak to move, as if his eyes could release him. “It was supposed to be a quick favor for the Church of Illiir before I set out for home…you have to stop them!” “I’m leaving you some food and water. I’ll be back for you.” Quintus grabbed her arm. “You have to show them. You have to let them know that it didn’t work! I’m still sane!” Quintus’ voice was hoarse. “I’m still sane!” he shouted again, his eyes unfocused. “I will,” said Ilmarė slowly. Then the crash outside of the room forced her to abandon him once more. [/QUOTE]
