Fun with a guy named Marcos
How much time had passed while he sat there and stared at that glowing green rock? How long had he pondered over the use of that portal?
Time was undetectable, except for the aching muscles that screamed out for movement that could not be given.
And then there was a man in a robe of dirty green in front of him, smirking.
"Well, hello there stranger. I am glad to see you have finally awoke."
The man looks back to the emerald for a moment, and then back to Marcos.
"She's beautiful, isn't she? When we learned of her hiding place, we came running. But gaining possession of her was not the hardest part. For more time than I would like to admit, we have been trying to learn how to make her work. We're definately close, I assure you, but in order to preserve the work we've done...her needs must be met. Yes. Her...needs."
The man smiles, the look seemingly very skeletal and not the warm embrace that a normal person's smile held. He stepped aside and muttered a few strange syllables. In rythmn with his voice, the emerald pulsated, growing even brighter than it had been previously with each new pulse. Then the strange man was gone, but Marcos would not have seen this. Instead, his total attention was now upon the emerald, eyes affixed to it as though he were under a hypnosis. A beam of green light shot out from the emerald and invaded the eyes of the bound man.
OOC>>>Okay, so I admit that the idea comes from the Dark Crystal...but if you start calling for your animal friends to bust out of their cages, you'll be dead before you know it!
