[QUOTE="talien, post: 5586995, member: 3285"] [b]Flesh for Eihort: Part 3 – The Thing in the Cellar[/b] In honor of your birthday, two updates at once! Happy birthday RT! =============== The cellar had a brick floor, which was very uneven. There was a large hole in one corner of the cellar where the floor collapsed into a space underneath. Earth and bricks were piled up on one side of the hole to form a ramp leading into the darkness below. Jim-Bean crept down the steps, pistol out. He didn't like the look of the place and he wasn't inclined to play a cat-and-mouse game with a serial killer. He had intentionally let Hammer take the lead in investigating Chubb – he wasn't interested in getting psychically inside a murder's head. But they were running out of time and Chubb was tough enough to take on Hammer. It was time to step up the game. Jim-Bean touched the floor of the cellar and focused, closing his eyes. The path into darkness ahead of him yawned wide as Jim-Bean's mind expanded exponentially to explore the labyrinth. It sucked him relentlessly into a whirlpool of thought, diverging into a labyrinth. In the distance he could make out a dim glowing form. Jim-Bean began walking the path. As he walked, titles came unbidden to his lips: The Lord of the Primal Labyrinth, the Walker of the Sacred Roads, and The Invisible Fire That Works In Secret. He spoke them with each step, and as he strode forward into the labyrinth its lines wavered and shifted in position, what was outside the outer wall became hazy and indistinct. The distortion increased the deeper he went, until the lines overlapped one another, and what was outside could not be seen at all. At last he was before the source of the glow, an ethereal, almost angelic presence, composed of burning wheels, white angel's wings and wise, ancient eyes. When it spoke, a fatherly, wise-sounding chorus resonated in Jim-Bean's head. "[FONT="Impact"]WHEN THE METEORS FALL FROM POLARIS, THE BARRIERS OF MY LABYRINTH WILL BE WEAKENED AND I SHALL WALK AMONG YOU. ACCEPT MY BARGAIN AND I WILL MAKE YOU MY—[/FONT]" A sharp pain across Jim-Bean's face tore through the communication, and the angelic being shrieked with rage as he was sucked away back to the world above. "…Jimmy!" Hammer raised his open palm to slap Jim-Bean again. "Snap out of it!" Jim-Bean caught his wrist. "I'm okay." Hammer rose, a little stiff. "Good. Because you don't look okay." Jim-Bean looked down at himself. Blood was pouring from multiple stab wounds, and a syringe stuck out of his neck. Chubb had been busy while Jim-Bean was communing with whatever it was down there. "Are you okay?" asked Archive. "Judging from the amount of drugs he must have pumped into you…" Jim-Bean rose, waving him off. "I'm fine." "Chubb got away. Get your stuff," said Hammer. "We're going after him." Jim-Bean rubbed his eyes and peered into the foreboding darkness. "Don't tell me," he said slowly. "He went into the labyrinth." [/QUOTE]
