<font color="bca4f0]It wasn't present or not present. The being wasn't there, nor was it not there. It just was. Naturally, unnaturally and all together right in the place it was in. Fitting.
Not cloaked, and yet not hooded, this being remained blended into the surrounding garden wall of moss, stone and over grown berry brambles. Hidden by the constant onslaught of the pouring rain and glimpsed easily when the lightning flashed from the sky over the mansion. The knitted sapphire shawl repelled water, much like the matching rubber rain boots and umbrella in hand. No coat was worn during this storm, and yet the rain did not seem to bother the being weighed down my what looked to be layers of white cloth draped and bound at the waist with a few braided vines. Or leather belts, one did not know. Topped with a black bowler, little could be seen of the hair or face beyond dark eyes peering out from under a regal, gentle brow.
The person walked to the entrance of the garden, and pushed open the creaking wooden gate to step inside the maze that was located in the back of the lush English garden. Once inside the tall stone walls and juniper bush, the once slow moving being bolted. Rubber boots seemed to hover over the small pebbled path, making their way down the paths that were to lead to the center. That is, if the being did not make a wrong turn, stop at a dead end and turn about to try again.
It was a maze, after all.
Time seemed to be important and none too important to this one. Wrong turn, right turn, wrong and wrong again until the path finally lead to a fallen stone wall, revealing the center of the maze. Rubber feet squeaked to a halt and slipped into the center, where a large hole was barely gated off. A perfectly circular stone entrance to underground sat in the middle of the clearing. A small laughable gate surrounded the entrance and even had a large padlock on the little gate. Signs hung about the fence.
"All ye who enter beware of falling death." was intricately carved out of a marble slab set on a pedestal by the gate. And yet, below that even was one made of wood and paint. "Warning, danger of falling and scorpions."
The humor was lost on this one. Ignoring the signs and removing from under the layers of cloth an old and simple blade. It looked to be more of an old kitchen knife with a wooden handle. Only the blade looked to be of some importance. A devils face paired with illegible symbols.
The umbrella was closed and set to hang on the metal fence while this one set to work carving into it's hand with the knife. Yet the wound did not bleed. Instead, a light. Green and dim emitted from their palm as they carved. Illuminating across their face each symbol as it was cut out of flesh. No words were given in this ritual, just silence calm slicing.
With the symbols finished on one hand, this one went to the other. The same glowing light, the same symbols that glowed across a face.
Once both palms were carved and the light shone from their hands, this one crossed the metal fence. Rubber boots stepping and squeaking one at a time. The moment both feet were on the other side at the edge of the stone walled hole, the green light turned crimson and blood ran from their palms.
The lightning roared not in the sky alone, but deep at the bottom of the strange hole. Both hands were held over the entrance, and still no words had been spoken. No sounds from under the cowl. Only the squeak of rubber boots on stone in the rain as this one walked around the outer ring. Or danced, if one knew of the ritual. A silent summoning of a creature in the underworld. The more they danced and more blood that fell into the now brightly lit crevice, the louder the thunder and rumbling got. Yet, as of yet, nothing appeared for this one...[/font]
