Rise Of The Immaterial Man House
I had been expecting Sophia to direct me back to the pub where my Lab was located when we got back down into the undercity, but that wasn’t what happened at all. In fact, we hadn’t gone back down into the undercity at all. Sophia had led us back to my car and then punched in a postcode deep into the east of England, just north of Cambridge. I’d realised pretty quickly that it was likely Newton’s actual magical Laboratory. No doubt he liked the area because he had studied at Cambridge back when he was still a mortal man. Not all Immateria seemed to divest themselves completely of the lives they used to lead, it seemed. The drive from London to Cambridge took a couple of hours, and in that time I felt the thirst in my throat beginning to build further and further. “I think I’m going to need to uh… drink… soon,” I said as we pulled into the location that Sophia had plugged into my car’s navigation. “I’m starting to feel the thirst grow in my throat.” She glanced over at me, “Y
Rise Of The Immaterial Man Ancient Magic
It took a few moments, but before long the confused form of Professor Newton strode over to the window and opened it up. “Sophia… Richard…? What are the two of you doing up here?” He asked as the window swung open. Sophia pushed past the other Immateria, “Well, once again Professor, you were so engrossed in your studies of the arcane that you were unable to hear us all but breaking your door trying to get your attention downstairs.” The professor had the good sense to look cowed under Sophia’s admonishment. “Ah, I apologise, Sophia, you see I’d just gotten into the midst of a particularly interesting piece of magical lore from an Immateria priest who lived back in the fifth century BC, it was a fascinating work-” The Professor was clearly getting riled into his storytelling. “I’m quite sure it was incredibly interesting, Professor Newton,” I cut him off before he could annoy Sophia too much. “But what we have to show you today will no doubt tickle your intellect just as much as a

My head span as my mind battled with the ragged edges of the transformation to becoming feral. I couldn’t believe I’d let it get to this stage. I hadn’t even been this far gone the first time I’d refused to drink. This time it wasn’t even about refusal, either. Id become so wrapped up in our mission and learning more about the history of magic that I hadn’t noticed how bad my thirst had become. “Quickly, follow me,” The Professor said, I barely understood him through the haze of my weakened mental state. “I fear that young Richard doesn’t have much time left before he turns completely.” Sophia grabbed my arm, her grip was like iron and it almost felt like she was going to crush my bones. The Professor led the way and Sophia followed, dragging me along as I moaned and groaned, desperate for relief from the burning that was in my throat and chest. My breathing had become hot and ragged and I felt as though I was two steps from plunging my fingers into my own body to rip my damn t
Rise Of The Immaterial Man Rage
The Professor didn’t attempt to stop me as I stomped back up the stairs to the library. I barely remembered the way back to the area of the house thanks to how badly I had been breaking down in the moments before I’d drunk the newborn's blood, but I managed all the same. Just the thought of what I’d been forced to do made me want to heave. Sophia was close behind me, and while she hadn’t said anything I could feel the tension in her footsteps. It was as if she were expecting me to turn around at any given moment to try and attack the Professor. I’d been tempted, but I’d already made my choice. If I were going to disobey her command I would have done so when she’d issued it, not now. The Professor was an issue that I would deal with at some point in the future, though. That much I was certain of. I made it back up to the library, grabbed the idol, and then tossed it over to Sophia. She caught it deftly with one hand and pocketed it without hesitation. “Let’s get out of here,” I
Rise Of The Immaterial Man Tinker
While I had expected Sophia to want us to return to Gunnersbury park straight away she actually had me drive us back to Battersea Power Station so that we could travel back down to the depths of the Immateria City. “Your head isn’t in the right space,” Sophia had offered as an explanation as we travelled through the warp gate down to the city. “You need time to chill out before we go on any missions. It’s understandable considering what the Professor had you do.” I wasn’t about to disagree with her. The last thing I wanted was for us to get into a sticky situation and then for me to be the reason we ended up failing, getting captured or worse even killed. “We need to try and come up with a plan, anyway,” I said. “Whoever the rogue is they won’t be able to take over our minds without the idol, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t still going to be powerful. Not to mention we don’t know how many people he’s taken over. They’re basically like hostages at this point.” Sophia agreed with
Rise Of The Immaterial Man Saturation
“So the concept is simple,” I began to explain. “From reading a bit about the nature of magic and the way the Immateria interact with it I’ve been able to narrow down that certain types of magic need to be transmitted through the neutral magical field that’s present throughout the world.” “Right,” Sophia said with a quirked eyebrow.“Well, with that in mind, I’ve developed a device that will saturate an area with higher levels of that neutral magical field,” I continued. “It’ll then give that field a positive charge, which won’t hurt anyone in the area, but will stop anyone from being able to transmit anything through the field.” The realisation dawned on her slowly then all at once, “Which means that you should be able to stop the rogue from giving any instructions to the people they’re controlling, right?” "Exactly," I nodded, proud of my work. "But before we put it into action, I need to make sure it works. And the best way to do that is by testing it on the bond that allows you
Rise Of The Immaterial Man A God
I took a deep breath and followed Sophia into the grand lobby of the mansion, my hand resting loosely on the hilt of my wand. We’d come this far, and I was determined to see this mission through to the end. As we entered the lobby, I was struck by the beauty of the room. The high ceiling was adorned with intricate mouldings, and the walls were covered in lush, golden wallpaper. But that beauty was marred by the sight of several people slumped against the walls, their eyes closed in a deep sleep. Sophia and I exchanged a knowing look. When they had been disconnected from the rogue Immateria the people must have instantly fallen asleep. Perhaps it was their brain's natural defence against such a psychic onslaught. Whatever the reasoning behind the sudden unconsciousness of the humans in the mansion was beside the point. The fact they’d been knocked out meant they’d be less of a hassle when the fighting began. The last thing we wanted was a bunch of people running around like headl
Rise Of The Immaterial Man A Fall
The black vortex of magical energy consumed everything in its path, and for a moment I thought I was going to be simply wiped from existence with the rest of the furniture. But when the field passed over me all I felt was a little bit of a tingling sensation. Clearly, the effect wasn’t as potent on living creatures as it was on inanimate objects. I wasn’t sure how my clothes survived the transition, but I wasn’t about to start complaining either. “I told you I was a god!” The rogue gloated, he was floating a few feet off the ground now, his eyes glowing a dark ominous red. “Well, this is the stage of my godhood! In this space anything I will becomes reality, and there’s nothing you can do to stop me!”I rolled my eyes and pulled out my wand, readying a spell. This rogue was like some kind of b-movie villain, and I was ready for his boasting to stop. Sophia was already standing in front of me, her fists crackling with arcane energy. She shot the rogue a hard look. “You’re not a god
