Catastrophe 26: WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM? GOD?

Chapter 4: Saturn tower

Altmiller cave always had a mysterious feel to it. The fact that it was so dark didn't make it any less creepy. Mia knew this all too well, but was still down there anyway.

She had heard rumours of Isaac's henchmen leaving and entering the depths of the cavern, and now she was down there in Babi's store cupboard.

She'd been there two hours waiting for more of Isaac's henchmen, sword at the ready. Two of the dead minions finally appeared from a portal at the back of the room.

Perfect she thought, queue action time.

Before the two dead soldiers noticed her one of them was already missing its head. The soldier's body crumpled as the head fell. The other didn't have much time to react before Mia's blade sliced through it at the groin.

With her enemies dispatched, Mia entered the swirling blue vortex at the end of the room

Darkness. Mia reappeared in a void of pitch blackness. Questions spun through her head like where is this?

Why am I here?

"Mia" Isaac's voice seemed far away, muffled. Mia spun round looking for any signs of Isaac. "Where are you?" she shouted. "I'm here!" Mia spun again and there was Isaac, as he'd always been, no evil look, no Deadbeard armour, just Isaac.

"Isaac?"

"Follow me Mia" Isaac clicked his fingers like a magician and then disappeared, then with a snap, he reappeared about five feet away just in Mia's line of sight. Reluctantly, Mia followed.

It was an eerie experience following Isaac through the darkness, but eventually Mia could just make out a pale gold tower, like, like…

A lighthouse.

What the hell was Isaac up to?

The entrance was laid out the usual elemental lighthouse style, Mia was uninterested in the room in question, what she was after was the entrance. She gulped, and went through.

Mia came out into a wide room that seemed like a gigantic Colloseum. A sandy arena with two metal grates guarding passages to either side of the arena.
Isaac appeared in front of Mia again. "And now for your special treat Mia" he said "Meet the Saturn adepts" with a click of his fingers, the two grates disappeared releasing their contents. Skeletal monsters of men. Ghostly white, wielding menacing swords stained with blood.

"Saturn is the power of acid" Isaac explained "enjoy your death Mia, Saturn is going to replace Mercury, we need you to do so."

Mia grinned evilly. She was going to die, but not by these adepts. "I'm not ready for death just yet"

Mia focused all the psyenergy she had and cast a glacier. Ice began spreading from her fingertips, freezing her entire body, then passing through the Colloseum. All the acid adepts were frozen in an instant. Stopping dead in their tracks in the cold, icy blast.

"Ivan, please hear me!"

"Why are you making me do this?" the voice sighed at Isaac's question and replied "You will know in all good time Isaac, but for now, you are MINE!"

"WHAT ARE YOU?" Isaac yelled into the darkness.

"MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!" no! No! No! NO!

C26: YAY! And please note, Mia is not dead and I repeat underlined in bold she is NOT dead! For now…
