Snippet #1684455

Walter felt the tenseness of Abigail's body and the anger which blazed in her eyes, and for this he was glad, as he felt it was necessary to get her worked up so that she would be alert when it came time to make their move, for Walter knew that when Abigail's ire was up she was formidable woman. As they approached the eight seated officers the two soldiers that had accompanied Niclas out of the secret tunnel suddenly leaped to their feet and pulled out their weapons. "Nicht!" Niclas shouted at the two SS officers. Speaking again in English, "So Mr. Rivers. To what do we owe this change of heart? I wouldn't think you as someone who was interested in power and domination." Trying to sound convincing Walter answered, "Only a fool would turn down the opportunity to become a supreme ruler of the entire planet Earth, to have one's every desire fulfilled." Niclas searched Walter's eyes for any hint of insincerity, finding none he happily welcome Walter to the brotherhood. Niclas reached into his trench coat and after a few moments of fumbling he pulled out a glimmering black rock, which was none other than The Blackstone of Lucifer. Two of the gray clad soldiers from the first row near the platform grabbed a small table which stood to their left, walking up onto the platform they placed the table next to Niclas, upon this table he placed the jagged stone. Niclas then began to remove his trench coat, his tie and then finally his shirt, dropping these to the floor he reached over and picked up the stone once more.

It was at that point when Walter and Abigail noticed that there was a break, or hole in the backrest of the accursed chair, and that the Blackstone was actually a part of the throne, that the broken piece was meant to be set back into the groove. Abigail's question to Walter all those many minutes ago would soon be answered, for there were two things that needed to be done before one could use the throne's power. The first of these was to replace the Blackstone, and the other a simple proclamation of loyalty. At that moment Niclas raised the Blackstone in the air with his left arm, using the other to performed the necessary act. Facing the black obsidian throne Niclas snapped into a German salute. With his right arm extended and palm facedown he shouted, "To you Lucifer, whom has been done wrong! We salute you!" To which the other soldiers replied in unicine. Walter was about to repeat the salute when he suddenly pulled out the gun and fired at Niclas, his target however was not Niclas but the object in his hand. The speeding bullet hit its target, causing the stone to fly out of Niclas' hand.
