The Sacred Descendant. Part 3“Wake up!”Darla slowly opened her eyes. She saw a vague silhouette hovering above her but couldn’t see anything specific. Everything was blurry in her eyes.“Darla, please, wake up!”The voice belonged to a woman, and sounded very familiar. When Darla’s vision cleared more or less, her friend’s worried face was before her.“Ugh… Lucy? What happened?”“That’s what I’d like to know,” she whispered. “All I know is that we’re in some kind of prison with our wrists handcuffed.”“What?!” Darla immediately jumped up as if someone had poured a bucket of ice cold water on her. As she examined the surroundings, her heartbeat accelerated fast. Her eyes were wide with horror. The dark cell with one burning torch on the wall, metal bars instead of the door... It all looked too familiar. “Oh my God… No… It can’t be true!”Lucy watched her, confused.“What’s going on, Darla? Do you actually know where we are?”“Yes, I think I have an idea,” she replied. “It’s just like in my dreams.”“What?” Lucy widened her eyes. “You dreamt about this place? What is it then?”“I don’t want to scare or upset you, but…” she stopped talking for a moment.“But what?” Lucy grabbed her friend’s shoulders and slightly shook her. “Spill it out, whatever it is!”Darla sighed heavily.“We’re trapped by a cult that worships the Great Old One named Cthulhu.”Lucy shook her head. It barely made sense to her.“Uh… excuse me? A cult? They worship what?” she asked. Her brain was going to pop from an enormous amount of questions, but it looked like Darla might indeed know something. But how was that possible? Only through the dreams? And why was she seeing such dreams in the first place?“Yes, a cult. And this is the dungeon where they keep sacrificial lambs. Have you noticed the different clothes we wear?” She pointed to the white robe that covered her whole body. “I’ve read that in medieval times, these robes were worn by people sentenced to death.”Lucy was silent. She obviously was shocked and speechless. What Darla just said… Does it mean they were going to be killed?“Yes, I know how awful it sounds,” Darla said, lowering her head. “I guess I know what is going to happen to me. If my dreams can be believed, they’re going to take me to chamber full of burning candles where a monster is waiting. As for you… well, I’m afraid I can’t answer that. In my dreams, I was alone in this cell.”“Shit…” Lucy sat on the floor and lowered her head, too. “So, what are we going to do now? How do we get out of here?”“I don’t know yet. We have to…” Darla’s answer was suddenly interrupted by the sound of approaching footsteps. She already knew who exactly was coming, but Lucy was extremely nervous. Just as expected, no other than the high priest was standing behind the metal bars, but this time, four cultists came with him. All of them had the masks on, so the girls couldn’t see their faces.“Well, Your Highness, there they are, safe and sound,” one of the cultists spoke. Lucy was too panicked to notice anything, but Darla’s eyes went wide when she heard the man’s voice. She knew she’d heard it before, but in real life, and then it immediately dawned on her. She didn’t have to look behind the mask to know the man’s identity.“Good job, brothers,” the priest said with a voice that was anything but human. He then pointed to Lucy. “Take this one to the shore and prepare for the ceremony.”One of the cultists unlocked the door, and then all four entered the cell. Two of the cultists grabbed Lucy and began dragging her out of the cell. She tried to resist and fight as much as it was possible in her situation, but everything was in vain. One of the men eventually hit her on the face with his fist, and her body went limp. He then threw her on his shoulder like a bag and carried her away in an unknown direction.“As for you, my dear, you can consider yourself incredibly lucky,” the priest said to Darla. “I suppose you already know why you are here, don’t you?”Darla was quiet. All she did was looking at the creature before her that barely resembled human. She could see the writhing tentacles he had instead of the left hand.“You were having dreams about this place and us, right?”She nodded slowly. He somehow knew about her nightmares, although she still couldn’t really comprehend how.“And the Great Old One has showed you your… background, didn’t he?”“Yes, he has,” Darla replied.“Very well,” the priest said. “So now you understand everything. As a descendant of the Great Old One, you hold special value to us and all who serve him. Speaking of which, one of them is eager to see you.”Darla sighed.“I think I have an idea who he is. I’ve seen him in my dreams as well. So what, are you going to take me to him as some kind of sacrificial gift?”“Oh no, not at all,” the priest said, and somehow his tone seemed reassuring to Darla. “You can forget about the sacrifice. And he surely will not harm you in any way or form. Now let’s go. It’s better not to make him wait too long.” He then turned to the two remaining cultists. “Please take Miss Tinnely to the priestesses for a bath. She must be fully prepared for the Star Spawn. Then you join the others. The Great Old One is waiting. We must begin the ceremony as soon as possible.”“Yes, Your Highness,” the cultists said almost simultaneously and bowed to him. The priest left, and the cultists led Darla out of the cell, moving through a long, dark hallway illuminated by the torches and candles. The closer they came to a doorway, the louder the sound of running water became. They stopped at the entrance, removed her handcuffs and waited.Then five women appeared in the doorway, inviting Darla to come in. All of them were dressed in long, dark robes with black veils over their heads. They led her into a room with a large bathtub. Looking around, Darla noticed the room was also illuminated by numerous candles, and the walls looked pretty similar to the Star Spawn’s chamber she’d seen in her dreams. And the bathtub was spotless which actually made her happy. The entire setting could be pretty romantic if she forgot about what awaited her.Darla put the hand into the water, feeling its pleasant warmth. Removing her robe, she got into the tub and slowly sat down, immersing herself in warm water. The priestesses circled around her, using the soap and soft sponges on her. When the candlelight hit them in the right angle, Darla noticed her faces under the veils. All five had large, yellow eyes with vertical reptile-like pupils, and squid-like tentacles were protruding from their faces. Their hands had nails looking more like claws than normal human fingernails. The women were careful though, doing their best not to damage Darla’s skin with their claws.When the priestesses had finally finished washing her, Darla got out of the tub, and the women wrapped her in a towel. Making sure she was completely dry, she put her robe back on. Then one of the women pointed to the exit in silence, letting Darla know she was allowed to leave the room. She nodded obediently and slowly walked towards the doorway where the two cultists were waiting for her. This time, they led her in different direction, quite far away from the cell she was in. The walk took maybe about two minutes until they reached a wooden door of impressive size.“Well, Miss Tinnely, here we are,” one of the cultists said while the other one opened the door. “Please come in, don’t be shy. And no need to be afraid. In fact, you might end up enjoying his company to the fullest.”Darla gulped and walked inside, and the cultists shut the door behind her. The chamber looked exactly like she remembered it from her dreams – a round room with stone walls, torches and candles providing proper illumination. The sacrificial altar was also there, in the middle of the room. And then there was the dark doorway, the same one where the Star Spawn of Cthulhu should be waiting. Darla walked slowly, trying to make as little noise as possible. She reached the stone altar and stopped there, waiting for whatever was to come.The growling and clicking noise from the darkness was not long in coming. Darla gulped and held her breath while the sound was becoming louder with each second. She waited for the monster.And here he comes.***“Let me go, you filthy bastards!”Lucy writhed and undulated, trying to free herself from the cultists’ hands, but they were too strong. It was impossible to break free from their iron grasp. They led her through the dark corridors until they reached a larger room which seemed to be a cave of some sort. The stairs before them led somewhere up. As they ascended, Lucy saw bright orange light at the end of the stairs. It was the light of flames, as a multitude of burning candles and torches on the tripods surrounded them. All the cultists had gathered in this place, and Lucy realized they were standing on the surface of a large rock at the shore of seemingly endless ocean. The crowd of people in dark robes gathered around a big circle drawn on the ground with bizarre sigils in it, and a stone pillar was placed right in the middle of the circle. The two cultists led Lucy to the pillar, while the third one came with a rope. They stripped her naked, then tied her to the pillar, and removed the handcuffs. As one cultist returned to the others, the ones that had led Lucy to the shore stood before her. She watched them in silence when they started removing their hoods and masks, and the first thing she noticed were their hands with membranes between the fingers. And when their faces were finally exposed, Lucy opened her mouth in shock, her eyes going wide. Silent horror was written all over her face.“No… No! How… No, it’s can’t be true!”She stared at both men standing before her, refusing to believe her eyes. They were no other than Derek and Josh. But this time, they looked repulsive. Their bodies looked bulkier than the last time she saw them, and they had large, bulging eyes which didn’t seem to blink at all. Their necks were no visible as well, and she noticed some kind of scars on both sides of them. Both men looked less human and had more fish traits instead, and from that Lucy concluded that those scars on their necks were most likely gills.“Well, hello there, Miss Drake,” Josh said, and his lips stretched in a predatory grin. “Good to see you again.”Lucy began shaking when she saw his teeth. They now resembled the teeth of a shark than of a human being. Derek’s teeth still looked more or less human, but they had also begun changing. Some of them already looked like Josh’s teeth. But what made her cringe even more was Josh’s voice. It sounded barely human. She noticed him and Derek speak in somewhat raspy voices before, but at that time, she thought it was the result of heavy smoking. Now, hearing not just a raspy voice, but a growl-like noise emanating from Josh’s throat, she realized it had nothing to do with smoking.“You… you…” she hissed through gritted teeth, looking at Derek. She couldn’t even find proper words to form coherent sentences.“Let’s have a little chat while there is still time, shall we?” Derek said, and his voice sounded as revolting as Josh’s. “The sacrificial ceremony will begin very soon, so let’s talk now. I suppose I owe some explanation to you before you serve your purpose.”Lucy gulped.“What purpose are you talking about? Are you going to kill me?”“Well, your blood will be spilled right here, in this circle, to please the Great Old One,” Josh replied. “As he requires a sacrifice three times a year, we go searching for a suitable offering. The time for a new sacrifice has come. That’s why you’re here.”“You son of a bitch! Why me?!” Lucy yelled angrily, her eyes filling with tears. She shifted her gaze from Josh to Derek again. “I came to Arkham in hope of developing relationship with you! I trusted you!”Derek shrugged.“Oh, my dear naïve child… Has anyone ever told you that you should never blindly trust anyone you meet online?” he said, grinning. “It’s time to remove your pink glasses, sweetheart. Did you really think I would want to date you? You’re a cheap whore that is not worth my time. Maybe only some drunkard would like to bang you. But jokes aside, you were very suitable prey. In the moment I saw you on webcam, I realized that luring you to Arkham would be easy. I used all my charm and even bared my flesh for you to enjoy. Lucky for me, I looked more or less human at that time, so you didn’t notice anything unusual about me.”Lucy was stunned. Her lower lip trembled. She couldn’t believe her own ears. So this was all a trap? Now she knew it was, but none of that mattered at this moment. Something else bothered her.“But you looked human when we met!” Lucy protested. “How on Earth is it possible that you both now look like real monsters?”“Well, while you were unconscious for a week, our bodies have gone through some… changes,” Josh replied.Lucy’s breath became erratic. She was unconscious for seven days? It couldn’t be possible… or could it?“Yes, seven days,” Josh continued, as if reading her mind. “We knew you wouldn’t come with us willingly if we told you about our plans. So we had to sedate you in advance. The drug was strong, and it seems the dose was a bit too large.”Lucy swayed her head, gritting her teeth in fury. She wanted to strangle both these bastards, but she knew she’d end up dead. Even if she was free, she had no chance against these creatures.“You piece of shit! You will burn in hell for that!”The fishmen exchanged glances and burst into laughing. Lucy wanted to press her ears shut, just not to hear those disgusting voices, but she was completely immobilized.“Burn in hell? Really?” Derek laughed at her. “Have you got any idea how pathetic you sound, trying to threaten us with a nonexistent world? Well, let me tell you one thing: there is no heaven or hell, just like there is no god that you mortals believe in. You have worshipped a fake deity throughout history, a god that doesn’t hear your prayers. But Father Dagon and the Great Cthulhu can hear you. And you can be sure they would respond to your prayers.”Lucy shook her head. In any other situation, all of this would seem like ravings of a madman. But here she was, surrounded by literal monsters, so now anything could be real.“This is the beginning of our bloodline,” Derek continued his monologue. “Long story short: we are the descendants of a very ancient and feared race of underwater beings known as the Deep Ones. A minute ago, I mentioned the name of Father Dagon. Well, he and his consort, Mother Hydra, are our ancestors and patrons. Our race had been worshipping them since its appearance. Then, in nineteenth century, a sea captain named Obed Marsh had brought the Esoteric Order of Dagon into the town of Innsmouth where people were unable to catch enough fish to sell it. They prayed to their god but got nothing in response. But when Captain Marsh had persuaded them to pray to Father Dagon, things had changed for the best. Innsmouth began to flourish, as the Deep Ones provided endless amount of fish and brought the gold from the depths of the ocean. But everything has its price. As a payment for such service, the people of Innsmouth had not just to swear their loyalty to the Order, but also allow the Deep Ones to breed with them. Thus the hybrids were born. They all look like regular human children after birth, but as they age, they gradually transform into the Deep Ones and return to live in the ocean, in the underwater city of Y'ha-nthlei. And this is how we came to be. Our bloodline begins with Captain Marsh and his second wife, a Deep One named Pth'thya-l'yi. Josh and I aren’t friends. We are cousins, as my father and his father are brothers. My father has already gone to the sea, and my uncle hasn’t fully transformed yet.“So, now you know the truth. We both are Deep Ones in the process of transformation. We are greatly proud of our heritage, and our bloodline will continue. We all will live eternally in the underwater city of Y'ha-nthlei. What? You look terrified.” Derek giggled and came closer to Lucy until just a few inches separated them. “You will never know what being a descendant of a great race feels like. Just like with most of the mortals, this is something your shallow mind cannot comprehend and accept.” He touched her temple with his finger while speaking about comprehension. “Speaking of which… Your friend…”“Where is she?” Lucy interrupted him, drilling Derek with her furious gaze. “What have you done to her?!”“Oh, nothing at all. No need to worry about her, she’s totally fine and safe,” Josh said and crossed his arms. “The reason we speak about her now is that she, unlike you, knows the meaning of being a descendant of a being far greater than the entire humanity.”“Huh?” Lucy tilted her head. “What are you talking about? What does Darla have to do with this?”Josh smiled.“It may come as a surprise to you, but Darla is not really human, just like us.”Hearing this, Lucy almost chocked on her own saliva. Were they implying that Darla was one of them? It couldn’t be possible!“You’re lying! I’ve been friends with Darla for years, and I know her! She certainly is not one of you!”“Well, you’re right only about one thing – she’s not a Deep One,” Derek explained. “Her bloodline begins with the Great Old One, with Cthulhu himself – a being this cult worships. Our race worships him too, beside Father Dagon and Mother Hydra, but to a lesser extent. It began in seventeenth century, when a woman from the cult had been willingly impregnated by the Great Old One, and later she gave birth to a son. Thus his bloodline continued for generations, and Darla is the most recent and youngest descendant. She holds a great value for us all, and for Cthulhu himself.”Lucy was silent. After everything she’d just heard, she didn’t know what to say.“Has she ever told you about her dreams?” Josh asked her. Lucy nodded.“Yes, she told me twice.”“Well, she dreamt all those things for a reason. And her arrival to Arkham was no accident as well,” Josh continued talking. “There are our people in Miskatonic University who made sure she was accepted there. As for your arrival, Derek has explained everything to you.”Before Lucy replied, another person in a robe approached Josh and Derek from behind. As Lucy inspected him, the large golden pendant on his chest and rather beautiful carved staff with jewels made her think he was the main priest. She couldn’t see his face behind the mask, but his yellow eyes with reptile-like pupils made all her insides tremble. Her face twisted in the grimace of repulsion when she saw slimy tentacles protruding from the sleeve of his left arm instead of a regular human hand. He held the staff with them, while his right human hand lay on Derek’s shoulder.“Are you done?” he asked peacefully. His voice was no different than Josh’s or Derek’s.“Yes, Your Highness,” Derek replied. “We had to explain these things to her, so she knows she’s going to serve a great purpose.”The priest nodded.“Very well, then. Enough chit-chat, and let’s get to business. We must begin immediately and not test the Great Old One’s patience.”Both fishmen bowed to the priest and rotated the stone pillar so that Lucy was facing the ocean. Then they stepped away from her, taking the staff from the priest’s tentacles, and joined the other cultists who were now standing on the edge of the circle. The priest then walked to the edge of the rock and pulled the Necronomicon out of his robe. Holding it carefully with the tentacles, he raised his right hand high above his head.The ceremony was about to begin.
