Symp had been in Peru... asking locals about the rumours regarding a new find? A subterranean one that had not been plundered. Was under heavy guard. Anyone attempting to enter the area without a permit would be at the mercy of
Aegis security.
Nimmo, an ex mercenary , uncouth, unshaven and coarse heavy set male. One who had been in charge of the site.
He and his robotics were patrolling the area. A sudden attack from would be robbers? They fled but one remained..
Crouched down, hiding behind one of the so called sacrificial stones.
Firing on them with little effect. Finally he stood up, climbed up onto the slab.. firing at them and scoring hits on the armour but little else. None of them fired back.. They did not need to. After a short time, a matter of minutes, Nimmo arrived.
Less tolerant and somewhat annoyed at having to attend this lunatic who fired at him.
The belt on his trouseau now felt the strike as the buckle disintegrated..
They slid down past his thighs.. down to his ankles, with him stood there, the shiny silk of his undergarments now revealed.
Revealed. ah yes the Aegis robotics had recorded everything. The presence of a GLOBECAST monitor
(camera to us.) now recording in minute detail.. broadcasting the whole scene on a Global basis.
Even Nodu and Yie, looking at the screens, watching what was taking place ? The laughter from those around them, kind of echoed the overall sentiment now being shared, at the ridicule taking place of a despised despot getting some much deserved humiliation.
As he pulled up his trouseau, the redness of his flushed cheeks.. not the rear ones, they were pink from the COLD.. air across them.. but his face, yes his face.. that full on flush of red; RAGE.
He fired, for some time targeting the male.. who now fell, the blood splattered everywhere across the slab..
Ah yes.. that SACRIFICIAL altar.. A river now pouring into the cracks, the crevices to run down lower and lower beneath the slab.. that SACRIFICIAL ALTAR..
Below in the cavern.. it dripped.. droplets onto what lay and had laid hidden for centuries..
The open casket where the mummified body of an ANCIENT one, a QUEEN to her people..
now felt the drips.. across its face.. across its dried cracked lips..
Above having recovered his trouseau and securing it with string.. he had stepped over to the see the body
stretched out.. Dried corpse. NO blood, no flesh. nothing. Just the bare skeleton..
He staggered back.. his lips unable to move, mute.
Below, IT stirred.. reforming, shaking off the mummified form to reform, regenerate..
Tuto ai U the one her people had loved, worshipped as their Queen..
OR ELSE? A vicious malevolent being.. Intolerant and demanding regular sacrifices..
NONE dared to challenge IT.. ALL bowed before IT..
Symp had taken note of the sacred sacrificial slab.. she knew all too well what the reports had muttered about there being an ancient burial site there.. A tomb of an ancient.. She shifted closer to the screen.. the rock was vibrating..
You could see the earth the gravel around it moving..
Then it lifted.. the earth beneath it opening up.. the rock cracked, split in two.. and as they fell tumbling to either side of
what was now rising.. A female form wearing a crown of gold feathers.. Symp knew straight away what they symbolized.
POWER, DOMINATION,
A young female had been pulled out of the crowd.. dragged towards the shifting cloud, the shape of something milky white..
Swallowed up by it.. consumed within it.. Until it cleared and they saw IT..
ALL who were watching in their THOUSANDS.. now saw IT..
Nimmo had shifted towards it.. a weapon raised to fire... The head shifted.. the mask tilted those eyes, a gnawing growing within him, sense of FEAR.. Deep dark penetrating eyes.. as the weapon now a red hot glow burned his hand.. it disintegrated.
His whole body shook.. as he twisted, screamed. the searing burning flame. now torching his body..
The droplets in the air could be seen as a fine dust..
“OOO” hissed Yie.. “This can’t be good.. not good at all.. “
