Hard to breathe. Head pounding. Darkness. Thick, coagulating blood ran down the sides of his nose into his eyes. That punch.
-Snrrrk-
Excruciating pain. Nose must be broken.
Pietr was back in the pit, where they had locked him before. Good. Time was his ally, not theirs. The Church would find him. In fact, if he could keep them from moving for too long, this was a victory. Still… Pietr struggled to find a more comfortable position - there wasn’t any… He had to stay alive and not give away too much. The Pandemonium Dream was at a critical stage, and setbacks could be extremely costly. The chess match was over though. It had been for a while. All that remained was the mopping up of some pawns here and there. Beau would wind up in the neurochemical hell that he deserved for his temerity, and Pietr would have all of eternity to laugh about it.
