The Attic

The air is heavy with anticipation as the boy listens as something claws and rips at the thick wood from the other side... the dark side. The third lock hit the dusty floor with a metallic clunk; a deafening wail erupts deep within the crypt. Something slams against the vault's gate and damages one of the two remaining latches. The mammoth door is ripped off its hinges and tilts awkwardly between the jambs. The fiend senses its imminent release and emits a hideous howl just as the boy to touches the particles of quicksilver distorting the looking glass's link with time and space.
