It was quiet in this part of the catacombs, quieter than usual. Even the rats seemed to avoid this place instinctively. The old roman masonry gave way to a natural cave here, an underground lake. It wasn't much more than a pond really, but in the near total darkness it seemed to stretch forever into the dark and the deep. In the quiet and the stillness you could almost feel the water rushing out of hotsprings and flowing away through unseen tunnels below the surface.

On an island near the back wall of the cave sat an old nocturnal named Fog. It was maybe fifteen feet across at it's widest point, no more. Fog, bald and skeletally thin, sat on the island listening. Listening to the sounds of nothing, as he had been for as long as he could remember though that wasn't very long. The faint light of luminescent moss cast his sunken eyes in deep shadow.

There was a voice, somewhere in the darkness on the island. It was familiar, so familiar and cruel. "Look at you Fog. So this is where they stored you away after you became a nuisance. Do you have any idea how long you've been down here? Do you know who I am? Do you even know who you are?" Fog opened his mouth to speak, but no sound came out.

A young woman was thrown before him bound and gagged and staring at Fog with wide, pleading, terrified eyes. "This one is young and full of strength, drink up." The voice echoed out of he dark. "Queen has called for her little pet." There was a wet sucking sound, a heart slowed, then stopped. The woman's body rolled off of the island and into the water, carried away by the unseen currents.

Fog brushed the new growth of hair from is eyes and opened his mouth again. "Did you bring clothes?"
"They're on the shore. A thank you would have been nice. Nutjob..." Fog leapt up with surprising speed and pulled the other Nocturnal to the ground. There was a wet sucking sound, a heart slowed, then stopped. The man's body rolled off of the island and into the water, carried away by the unseen currents.

"Thank you"

<Exit Fog>
