Jul. 26th, 2005 11:46 pmDoor walks through London Below.
It is dark. She's in... well, not a neutral zone, but one that isn't claimed by anyone, and they're really the most dangerous, because you never know who you might have to deal with, but it's the fastest way home and Door promised to put Ingress to bed tonight.
And then she feels the air opening, inches from her forehead, and the thin chain around her neck suddenly grows hot against the right side of her throat, and she turns, and the arrow that should have embedded itself in her temple just grazes her, thudding into the wall behind her.
She hears the swish of a bow being drawn taut, and Arithon's chain is pulsing with heat, and she already can't see out of her right eye, so she reaches out and Opens.
Safety.
