Maxwell carried Merryn over a hill and followed a pathway behind his large stone mansion. He headed towards two intertwined gnarled trees, in between them, a long stone staircase.

Pushing back the hanging vines that wriggled about on the walls and made his way down towards the prison.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAwOeP31tj52
He shoved at the wide door, tapped the orb lights, that cast back the shadows. Gripping a hank full of her hair in hand, he exposed her neck. One swift cut. That would end this.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAk6wDDZaQe9
It was maddening that Unnamed needed this woman alive. He took a deep breath, and wished the vines hadn't premeditated the prison with their vomit inducing sweet smell. These were different then the ones under her skin, they didn't require the lifeforce to survive.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAFkcY21r241
Descending the stairs, he placed her on a cot and bent down with his fingers in front of her mouth, a soft breath warmed them.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAFNaJvPF4c1
Shouldn't have paralyzed her, some peoples lungs collapsed from it. Unnamed's punishment would be dark and cold if she died too early.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAr6OpgpeeZU
He stepped out, and locked the bars. Even if she woke up somehow she'd stay put this time. Just to make sure, he wrapped several jackknife fibers from end to end through the bars.

Not even the god could escape this. One whiff of the fumes and poof back to sleep. He chuckled. She wouldn't be messing up his plans this time. Nor would it. He went over to a water pitcher and poured a drink, in the cup he sprinkled a white herb in it. Good thing he had remembered or he would have gone to sleep soon.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAWN7mwkc6sd
He stat on a bench near the table and drummed his fingers.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAcQkVOeposZ
Perhaps it was rash to have used the sleeping venom on her? She need to to be conscious for the elicitation. Damnable woman, if she was an adapt--no matter that can be dealt with.

On the dark stained oaken desk, the scrying orb glowed faintly. He moved it over and looked into it.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAGsOv5phX77
The vines in the valley continued to creep along until they reached a forest. It was now a few miles from the portal. The vine tower wrapped around the trees, one by one until all were pulled down, broken in half, or ripped out by their roots.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAZoOWUOyfIB
The animals, and birds in the forest become ensnared as it shot out thick vines, that had it's mouthed leaves wide open. The animals shrieked and thrashed as they were absorbed into it's mass. The ravaged forest became silent.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAlzMZ0Wyi6v
A dark joy rose in him as he watched, soon Unnamed would be resurrected. He taped the orb and glanced at Merryn. She lay there still. He turned back to the orb.
590Please respect copyright.PENANA2H1bAgONfd
It continued to work its way towards his mansion. It is now only a few miles from its destination. The Masses of Acolytes on top of it now, directing it forward towards the portal. The ones atop chanted breaking the silence and swayed as it moved along.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAl6MowSTyXE
As the vines moved they grew new growth that shot out ripping and pulling onto any vegetation unlucky enough to be near it. The vines built on each other weaving in and out becoming stronger, taller and wider in the process. Until a dome shape formed.

The tower made its way towards a town near the mountains. The tower crept along the ground, it pulled it self forward, engulfing every living thing it touched. The tower left a trail of destruction in its wake, dead trees, bare soil, and the discarded bones of the animals it has devoured. It made a putrid pathway devoid of life where it passed.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAKssuqWGyPP
The Acolytes in unison bend forward, touching the tower and chanted faster.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAMExB65iKJC
Jason was near instructing those still in line.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAc0Gw71yp71
He moved the orb in closer.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAtixi5bASgp
Jason spotted him and came closer. "It is growing in strength and will be ready soon."
590Please respect copyright.PENANAV6XkZFE4Z9
"Glad to see you're growing more competent." He paused.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAlpoBjKFT3b
"Has Kar contacted you yet?" The man was unreliable, but his power would be needed soon.
590Please respect copyright.PENANA1wTv1kBuvm
"Not yet."
590Please respect copyright.PENANAZKGPKXZCRj
"Have them work faster I have the vessel."
590Please respect copyright.PENANAVo1oUoDYGe
Jason nodded.
590Please respect copyright.PENANACmaJz8DWc5
He moved the scrying glove over to the tower of vines. They grew into a monstrous dome, intertwined with whole tree trunks, limbs sticking out of the mass, bloody disfigured corpses of humans, and animals, along with mud, boulders, and any vegetation it happened to run into.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAIqUGWFDLKe
All along the dome Acolytes used their combined magic to direct the dome to move. He figured the dome was a good 30ft tall now, still tiny compared to the height it would soon be.
590Please respect copyright.PENANATTIwjzVhUb
A few of the Acolytes climbed around it casting runes. Good soon it would be ready and Unnamed's full power would awaken.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAVpzDsLRGEM
The Acolytes spied a good sized fishing village nearby, having the dome turn to it, the dome sloped up the village in a matter of seconds, people, houses, cattle, and all. The terrified villagers, became a pile of skulls and bones behind it.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAY6PHMRrFGQ
He was glad he wasn't opposing Unnamed, that would make his plans that much more difficult.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAk9rnzLiWUM
He put the Scrying Orb back on the desk pleased with the advancement. Impatient for his servants to come back with the slabs, he gathered up his energy, and applied them to the two sacrificial daggers lying on the table before him.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAX4EGZ5a3s8
He softly chanted: "Ex vita in morte" while holding his hands over them until the spell finished. A dark energy radiated from them. They cast a an eerie glow that caused the shadows to move like angered wraths around the room.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAPbVSTUhEFa
He put them in a small velvet lined chest, and carried it under his arm.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAbAfi11UJ4k
Such a nice gift should not be wasted. He smiled and went over to her again. Most people lived and had no complications with the sleeping venom, but as she was injured it was best to check.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAkh8uRoV8AL
The deep wound on her side was a bloody mess pooling onto the cot. The vines would soon stem the flow until it it healed. It was better to have her in this weekended state, all the easier to finish this.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAC1MKl67DNP
He walked out of the room and down a vine covered hallway. He couldn't stand to be around her long, as images of his son burning came back to haunt him, when ever she was near. He clasped his hands and intertwined his fingers and squeezed them hard together, before continuing forward.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAuZqupvDzQ8
The hallways walls were darkened as the vines had covered up most of the floating light globes. Most had several vines wrapped around them dangling down and also often growing upward towards the ceiling.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAmJKl0G1hBe
The air was thick, musty and smelled of dead things. It was too bad as much of the engrave work on the wood crowning at the ceiling would be destroyed once the vines sunk into it. Not his favorite environment, but this uncivilized creeping about would be over soon enough.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAF5Nc11ChaY
He'd taken down all of the pictures in the hallways once the vines appeared, locking them away in storage. His sons painting he wrapped in silk and placed into a walnut box.
590Please respect copyright.PENANAyY6uPpfosW
He turned the right corner.
