There was music everywhere.A concert featuring every song never heard, it was a bazaar dedicated to the favourite child of the Van-Wildersteins, A celebration of his finest work, His Magnum opus..... Dalusere!The last brick had been laid more than a year ago, or was it 10? 100? 1000? 1000000? Time felt different for every denizen of Dalusere, The City that even the gods envied, A dream that never ends..... It's great walls filled with the hopes and ideas of many souls yet to be born.The little boy looked around, In awe of the festivities, He had never seen such wonder, An aurora of milky white light enveloped the city, It's glass walls reflected the holy light off it's surface.It burned no one and nothing, Instead it gave all who were bathed in it an euphoric sensation, Along the like of reuniting with an old friend.The air smelt different to everyone, Often a collection of their favourite scents from their past lives and lives yet to come, The people varied in Size, Race and Age
"Terry! Move it a little to the right.... no! My right, Godamnit! Angelo's Right! Yeah! Yeah! You're doing it now... drop it!" Cas ordered.Terry The Multi winged Mammoth dropped the box of supplies at the edge of Tower 4, before giving a snort of satisfaction."Thanks Big guy, But we're not done here, Tower 7 needs more bodies, Meghan, Mikey, You two go!" he hollered at the pair of Yetis, The two gingerly made their way towards Terry before all 3 set off.Cas sighed and turned his attention towards Monitor 6, The recreation room, It was in shambles, The initial crew had seemed it low priority due to numerous labs, Cafeteria and Restrooms that needed to be renovated or Added unto the facility.'Nearly four months of work ruined by that bastard!' Cas grimaced, the face of the Smiling Golden man popped into his head, He banished the Evil entity from his thoughts with a shake of his head. He then turned his attention towards Monitor 5 and 2, The ones showing the edge of the Complex.The
Cece studied the piece of tissue through her microscope, The bond of the cells looked strong, stable.... promising, half of them at least, the others had fues long before, expected given it was a few hours old already, she took a deep breath, reaching over to the test tube on her left."..... no not you..." she frowned having accidentally grabbed her Thermostat, "Might as well take some," she yawned, sipping her black coffee with a squeeze of lime in it.'Disgusting.....' The spectral succubus muttered, 'The more I learn about you, the creepier you seem...' Ella swore under her breath.Cece ignored her.She searched for the test tube, the green coloured fluid, Growing strong, Dr Stabler had called it, She grabbed it from it, drew a small amount, and drop it unto the tissue sample.The regeneration process initiated, the dead cells were being outnumbered by the healthy ones.'It's not gonna work Cece....' Ella chuckled, 'You're wasting your time doll!'Cece bit her lip but ignored her.
'Gone out, Needed to clear my head.... we'll talk.... really talk when I get back, Love, Cece.'Cas sighed as he finished reading the note, His Shift finally over from manning the comms.He jumped on his bed and closed his eyes, trying desperately to ease himself to sleep.... but whenever he closed his eyes, all he heard was laughter.The Golden man with rubies for eyes Toyed with Cas, Toyed with Cece, Toyed with everyone within this base.Yet what bothered him most of all.... was the look Cece gave Zebediah.... "Who am I kidding? I want revenge on the bastard too! but..." He stared at his stump, "But first things first.... we need to do something about this...."He thought of getting a bionical arm.... but immediately banished the thought, 'Metal arms.... too much on maintenance, I could learn over time but I just... don't.... want to!' He thought of grafting another arm? Perhaps before his brain forget how his left arm worked? '.... but I doubt Zebediah was kind enough to spare th
Cecelia Grimes ran for her life!It wasn't a graceful run nor were the steps calculated, It was a mad, desperate, relentless dash for safety! Her haste only quickened everytime the ground shook.She fell, Finally her missteps got the better of her, she landed face first into the mound of snow.She desperately got back up, nearly tripping in the process, She turned back momentarily and instantly regretted it."Sweet Jesus!" She screamed and darted off once again.'Oh doll!' Ella mused, 'Now this.... this is what I was hoping on seeing, That Fear, that desperation.... it was almost worth the wait!'"Go screw yourself, on second thought go die!" Cece snarled so hard, spittle trickled down her lips. She flew just close enough to whisper into Cece's ear, 'You wound me doll.... all I'm doing is offering some support, some morale....' She cackled.Cece would like to deck her, would like to strangle her.... but Her priority was getting to safety, besides Ella was nothing but a mere projectio
The way forward was dark, depressing... the only semblance of light were the pale green lanterns that illuminated the path ahead.Every now and then, Cas and Melissa would come across a couple of staff moving things to and fro the basement but that happened only so often.It was quiet, Cold so.... cold, Not so much the temperature no.... this was the sort of coldness one experienced when being watched, Cas occasionally looked over his shoulder to reassure himself nothing was waiting to jump them in the dark.But nothing and no one did such, The staff members didn't bat Cas an eye and Melissa didn't seem as jittery as Cas was.'Infact she's been eerily quiet since we got here.... why?' He studied her face, She looked listless and bored, She craned her neck a bit and met his gaze.Her hollow yellow eyes, bored right into his soul, 'Okay that's exaggerating a bit but still, she's acting kinda creepy!'"Are we getting closer?" Cas finally spoke."......" Melissa continued to gaze right at
There was a roar in the air, Like the sound of a Car engine, It echoed all round the Dusty, Snowy fields.A Golden light illuminated the world around them, The light caused the Beast and Cece to recoil back, Shielding their eyes from the heavenly like glow.Cece could smell Fire and Sulphur in the air, She looked around her and saw the mounds of snow melting away, From Ice to Water to steam, She felt the heat pulsating from her skin and sweat rolling off her back.The beast growled and hissed in indignation, it backed away slowly from the light, Cece saw it's form melting away, the slow back steps quickly became large leaps backwards.The light slowly dulled in colour, Just enough for Cece to witness the transformation occuring within the fire.She saw small creatures, the size of fairies, Coated in Fire and metal, There were 4 of them, all hammering away at a piece of metal, Everytime they struck the metal with their tools, It grew larger and the light surrounding them grew duller.E
Cas raced past the piles of bodies littered about the hallway, He smelt hot iron and Sulphur in the air, It was thick, like standing near a furnace, And it was everywhere, He found scorch marks on the walls, Melted ice and shattered glass mingled along the bodies Castor ran past.He held his blaster in his right hand and.... nothing in his left, he cursed, using the anger from losing his arm to charge onward, He ducked under a pillar that had fallen over and lunged over a gap in the ground, And made his way over to where the screaming was loudest.He met Burning men, Helpless souls wailing about blindly, Some tried reaching out to him, To grab him, "Help me! Oh God help me!" They screamed, Cas bit his lips, and moved past them, Turning a blind eye to their pleading."I'm sorry...." He muttered, as he continued onward, He caught a glimpse of a familiar face, "Vince!" He cried out, As he gained in on him.Vince, was firing his blaster at a couple of shadowy figures, Cas heard them hiss
