Adair Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 A free-build for the Guilds of Historica and a continuation of the story of Adira Magdeburg. Check here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=111919 and the ones before for backstory. “AAAAAAAGGGH!!!!” The sound of the Mummy's screaming echoed through the tunnels of the abandoned mine, as bone-chilling and terrifying as the Mummy himself. His pale skin was rent in places, and his face held a snarl terrifying enough to make a gargoyle swoon in fright. And his voice, a hollow hiss of a sound, now rent the air in brain-rending screaches. Adira almost would have preferred to have him gagged, if not for the purpose of their torture, namely; information. Adira leaned toward, everything in her wanting to throw up at the smell that assaulted her nose. But she kept her face impassive, staring into the Mummy's eyes, twin wells of death. His hatred and agony smote her almost harder then the smell, but she refused to look away. “Do not think we will stop for fear of any threats you make, we are your masters now, and we will not stop until you tell us what we want to know. Who is the Dark Mummy Lord? How do the Desert King forces know the mountain passes? Who told them?” The Mummy let out a shriek, nearly defeaning her. Adira leaned back, taking a breath of the slightly fresher air, and motioned toward the village drunkard, the only person they could get to caryout the torture. The man giggled, stone-deaf to the horror in front of him, and lifted a bottle he had been drinking out of a moment before. “Want some more drink, buddy?” The Mummy shrieked again as the whiskey burn over his leg. Adira winced, looking away from the creature's bulging eyes and wide open mouth toward where Havers stood near the door, watching the mummy intently. The drunk paused to take a sip, and Adira leaned forward again. “Give us a name. Who is the traitor?” The drunkard finished his prolonged sip and lifted the bottle again. The Mummy stared at it, terror in his eyes. His eyes diluted and he gasped out one word. “Sirhaaaaaaaaaaaan.” Adira raised a hand and the Drunkard paused, staring at the hand. Slowly Adira's mind wrapped around the word. Sirhan. Was he referring to the Mummy Lord, or the traitor? It can't be... Adira glanced up at Havers, who was now staring at her. His eyes showed some surpirse, but mostly anger. Adira's palms began to sweat and she slowly let out a breath. Sirhan is a common name, couldn't it be someone else? A villager they didn't know about? But Adira already knew. Only the Sirhan she knew could tell the Desert King everything he had learned about their plans. Adira leaped into action. Grabbing her sword she bolted towad the door. Havers started after her then stopped. “Wait. We must search this out first. What if the Mummy lied to us?” “What if he didn't?” Adira shot back, her hand wrapping around the key in her pocket. She turned toward the door and deftly unlocked it. “We have no time to lose.” Then she was out of the door, sprintinting down the tunnel. There was a pause, then uneven footsteps bounded behind her, Havers trying his best on his peg leg to keep up with her. The light at the end of the tunnel grew brighter and brighter, and she had to squint, even if it was only moonlight. One thought pounded through her head, burrowing deeper into her consciousness with every foot-fall. It was Sirhan all along. It was Sirhan. To be continued... Da build. I know this might a stretch to call this an abandoned mine, but I hope it suffices. And a parting shot of the drunkard... in front of an empty table. o_0 Expect the next episode in a few days. Oh, and sorry for the blurry second Picture and any spelling or grammatical errors I might have overlooked. Soli Deo Gloria & Sola Gracia! Quote

-Carson Haupt- Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 I haven't really followed the story, but this is an awesome build! Quote

soccerkid6 Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Really neat look with the crumbling stone walls implemented into the rockwork Interesting twist in the storyline too, Sirhan always seemed a little bit suspicious to me Quote
Gideon Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Nice build with a very suitable atmosphere Good story also, looking forward to reading more! Quote
Captain Dee Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 As usual you've used colors and textures very well and the twists of the story are interesting. I think you built a believable mine; once abandoned they do tend to decay somewhat rapidly. Ten years ago waterboarding was the preferred form of "enhanced interrogation." What do you call this? "Bottleboarding"? Nice continuation to the project. Hopefully power doesn't change Adira too much, eh? Quote
Blufiji Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Lovely build, the color choices are spot on as always. Your story is also progressing very nicely, I appreciate that you take the time to really flesh out your ideas. Quote

Hopefully power doesn't change Adira too much, eh? Thank you, Captain Dee! Your comments are a continual encouragement! "Sure, let's go with that." I thought that if water was susch a torment, whiskey... Lovely build, the color choices are spot on as always.

MassEditor Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Fantastic landscaping and rockwork as always, a real treat to look at. The color usage is awesome and the off-angle walls add some sweet dimension to this build. The story of course is enjoyable and I really enjoy how much you're fleshing out your character. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to do that myself lately! In any case, splendid stuff Adair! Quote
