You don’t see any other option, so you give Fred the Key. He eagerly approaches the pillar and inserts it. Grimble does some intricate hand motions, and soon the whole room is buzzing with a strange vibration.
Fred begins to change. Your eyes can’t exactly focus on his body or understand what is happening to it. His arms become the pipes, his eyes become the doors, his body becomes the pillar. It is the worst thing you’ve ever seen. You hear his screams reverberate out of the walls.
“What the hell did you do?!” You shout at Grimble.
She replies in monotone, “I made him Twist! Or, the key did, I just helped!”
“Why?! How?! I thought only Fairies could do that!”
“The Thing Beneath the Earth ------- Machine Thoughts ----------- won’t overpower her, just feed her!”
“Say again?!”
“UGH! Nevermind, goodbye!”
Before you can ask where she’s going, Mark grabs your arm. “Come on! We have to get out of here!” The winds whipping through this room are causing his whole body to become unstable, he clings to a pipe for dear life. You use your heavier adult body as an anchor for him, and make your way to the door.
