***********************************************

The Scholar's voice is a whisper. "No. Oh no..."

In a ghastly, frozen dance of intertwined limbs and twisted, bloated torsos, a mob of corpses hangs from the ceiling. The bodies are those of the youthful, the adult, and the elderly. Some are heavily clothed, while others are mostly naked, but all bear the marks of death by violence, the contortions of their hands and necks evoking the most nightmarish of final moments which stiffness and decay have only accentuated. Here are the victims of a generation of violent crimes in the city of Dernhem, tucked away in this mockery of a supply room to serve the drive and whim of sorcerous plots. And worst of all, the magical aura of the room is too strong for Elina to discredit her impression that each and every corpse bears the spark of accursed half-life. Suspended by ropes and hooks from the ceiling of this pair of chambers are a dozen dozen undead, raised high and away from the hungry teeth of rats and other vermin until the time that their sorcerous creator may call upon them for terrible purpose.

As the single Runemote idly drifts beneath the grotesque limbs and faces, Elina backs quickly toward the door.

***********************************************

Elina's stock model is Emily at ~Feathered-pics She's given me some fantastic imagery for this sequence and those that follow. If you like what you see, please let her know. Thanks, Emily!

Enjoy!
