"Ahh... bright!! Ed no like no sun shine on me eyes. Hurts.. "

And there goes how Ed the caveman, with his mop of hair gets dragged out of his comfortable quarters.

His female companion, in his state of dreaminess and lowered awareness after a meal of flour, potatoes and eggs topped with spices, had dragged him across the lands to this mysterious cove, dribbling with hints of the dark and arcane.

Afraid, Ed held on to her, hoping for a slight chance of getting out of this. He had a very uneasy feeling welling inside of him, nagging at him not to go further. But the stern and cold eyes of Stef quickly quietened down any protests, for Ed knew not what the cove might do to him, but he sure knew the costs of incurring Stef's wrath.

With an almost inaudible whimper Ed ventured in accompanied by Stef. He was quickly swooped down by an unknown being, into a mechanical contraption. He caught one last look at the assuring face of Stef, and then he was, alone.

Still disoriented, the being mumbled to Ed in baffling tongues, and immediately rose its arms of what seems like blades and spokes. The blades invaded Ed like a swift raptor hungering for meat. Pieces of Ed flew and splattered all over the floor. Ed could only howl silently, petrified.

Twice, the blades stopped and Ed thought it was over. He was wrong. As soon as the blades stopped, he was dunked into the black abyss of water, where invisible hands groped and grabbed at him. He could feel them, but he could not see.

Whenever the water subsides, a veil would envelop Ed, followed by withering hot blasts of air before the blades came for him once again. Ed still could not see very clearly in that dark cove, and everything was just so unfamiliar to him. He felt like a fish in a desert, a Chiching in a poetry class. Watching in a state of confusion as the blades ripped parts of him off, but he could feel no pain.

"Help me, please, me no like this place. Where's Stef?" Ed thought helplessly. Finally, the blades seemed to stop. The being hovered away, and the mechanical contraption released Ed. Dazed but relieved, Ed staggered, and followed the light out of the cove. Behind him, he felt someone, maybe a cutpurse, rip his leathery coin pouch and pilfered a few gold coins.

But he didnt care, and he went in search of Stef.
