"Huh? Shining Man, I don't know what's happening! Where's everyone going? What are we...what are we doing?"

"Here he comes...the face-mouth man...oh, they're mad at him...they're going to put him in the cold, where he will die...oh no..."
Cassandra, still a bit pale riding in her sling on Justahl's back, shakes her head. "Shining Man's horsie is there. And the Red Queen, and her army, and the mouth-face man, and this is where we find a shortcut. It keeps us warm. We have to go."
Looking much better after Justahl's healing energy, but still a bit on the pale side, Cassandra holds a shaky hand up at the door Justahl is about to smash to pieces with his hammer. "In there. The man with the mouth-face is in there. He frightens me, but he needs me. He needs us, and Shining Man's horse is in there."
Cassandra's eyes roll back in her head, and she begins to mutter a low cadence; "we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos we walk in blood to the blind formless chaos..."
As the thing calling itself the "Metallum Aeternum" speaks, Cassandra suddenly grabs her head and shakes it back and forth. Looking at Justahl she says "We have to keep going forward! She's still in my head and it hurrrrrts!" Now beads of sweat are forming on the little girl's brow. She is pointing towards the north wall, on which there are no doors or windows of any sort, or at least, none that are immediately visible.
Cassandra scrunches her face up. "It hurrrrts."
"I...I have to keep her out of my head, out of my thinks."
"No. We go straight. It is where we must be." Cassandra doesn't speak these words so much as she intones them, like she's in a strange trance. She is very pale, and her eyes are blank, staring straight ahead. She is currently astride Hurin's shoulders, and pointing with her little hand at the center tunnel.
Cassandra approaches Justahl and tugs hesitantly on his shirt. She looks quite apprehensive as she points at the last gem, the intact one containing the demon. "Shining Man. You have to free him. He takes us to the burning place to free your horsey. And..." She trails off, looking at Kelne. Her apprehension seems only to increase as she gazes at the northman. "...th-that's what I See." she stammers unconvincingly. |
