Gerrard's Dorm

Gerrard opened the door to his dorm, this place would be a wonderful base of operations everything he needed was in place "Now... to get started" Gerrard walked over to a fireplace and put his hand along the top ridge, he lifted a large painting that showed the battlefeild of the Somme, the bloodiest battle in the human's history, underneath the picture there was a poem written in Latin.


He tapped a few places upon the picture and a large turning noise erupted, with this Gerrard smiled and the fireplace logs doused themselves and the back stones removed themselves revealing a large staircase , everything was just as the previous owner of this room had told him, "Perfect.." Gerrard said slyly, he placed the picture back onto the mantle and the fireplace resumed it's previous form. He would be able to work extremely well from this dorm. Everything was falling into place.

Gerrard re-opened the passage hidden behind the fireplace in his dorm room. "Just as he said.." Gerrard said softly to himself he slowly walked down the stone steps, they led to a steel door, with a 9 digit stone keypad, he inputed a four digit combination and the keypad flipped open revealing a small keyhole, Gerrard removed a key shaped like a World War I rifle, he turned the key in the hole and the thick steel doors slid open to reveal a small elevator, Gerrard stepped inside and hit the lowest button, the doors slammed shut and the elevator slowly decended. As time passed Gerrard started to sing an old war song he had heard long ago


Before Gerrard could finish his song the door opened revealing a large cavern, lit by electrical chandeliiers and large torches, "My my, what goodies might be down here" Gerrard said, and the steel elevator doors slammed behind him.

Gerrard looked throughout the cavern, it was absolutely amazing. Cages, lab tables, vials of untold liquids, machines, all hidden underneath this castle. "What do we have here?" Gerrard said looking at a set of rings placed on the table, one black ring, and five silver ones, he placed the black ring on his hand and the others started to glow softly, he put the ring up to his face, "Amazing" he said, "Amazing" a voice echoed back through the other rings, he put his hand down to his side "Fascinating, communication rings" Gerrard clenched his fist and sparks flew from the silver ones, "complete with disiplinary commands" he smiled, Clenching each finger individually, the corresponding ring sparked with each clench. "Marvelous" he grinned, "Slave rings". Lets see what fun we can have with you.

After inspecting the rings Gerrard made his way to a large door, it was a thick steel door, looking a lot like a vault. by the top of the door there was an illuminated label that read "Beastiary". "Now what could be in here." he said approaching the door. The door slid open automatically, revealing a large hall with a grand pillar in the middle, the pillar was filled with enclosed glass chambers where there were figured latched into chairs, "They sleep" He said, spotting a computer terminal. "What can we find here" he said, the creatures were catogorized, Aqueous, Airial, Burrowers, Parasites, Beasts, and a final catagory labeled, "Special" Gerrard was intrigued by this category, he moved the cursor and selected the category, instantly a large list began populating itself on the screen with a huge selection of creatures, As it did the large pillar began to desend into the ground and another pillar rose from farther away. It began moving towards Gerrard and stopped only a few yards away from the terminal. As Gerrard scrolled down the list of creatures the pillar rotated showing each creature individually. "What is this?" he said stopping his scrolling over a creature known as the Verdugo, translated into english this creature was called the executioner. Gerrard selected the unlock setting, and the glass chamber door slid open, gas steamed out of the chamber and a loud clunk erupted from the opening of arm locks, The creature stumbled from its chamber, "Welcome back into the world" Gerrard said smiling. The Verdugo snarled diligiently, for it had no need of a master, it was a solitary killer, not someone's slave. Gerrard picked up a small ring device laying next to the terminal and stepped towards the Verdugo. It tried to claw at him but it was still weak after it's long slumber. Gerrard clamped the ring around the creature's neck, "Stand" he commanded it, and the beast instantly rose to attention, a look of anger flowed over the Verdugo, but Gerrard cared not for defiance. "Relax, you'll get used to it" he said, besides... you'll enjoy what I have planned for you.
