"Yes, my master..." answered the guard in a voice that sent chills up my spine.

At last the two of them left. For that I was thankful. I don't know how I let him talk me into coming here. I guess the gold was just too much to turn down. But I had to get out of here now. There was no way I could do what he wanted in the time he had set.

I went to go pick up my hammer from where it had fell earlier, but I couldn't find the stupid thing. I looked about in a few places and still no hammer. I then saw something that wasn't right... It look liked some sort of person standing in one of the darker areas here... Probably one of those stupid workers I thought.

"Hey you over there! You need to get back to work!" I shouted towards the figure as I walked my way to it.

And then it came out of the shadows... By the Virtues... This creature that stood before me was draped in the darkest robes and it's face, if you could call it a face, was so horribly twisted and disfigured. It had skin that was a crimson blood in color.

I slowly started backing away. The thing just stared at me with it's blood shot eyes...

I then heard a loud thump from behind me. I glanced over my shoulder to look and saw my hammer on the ground about two or three feet from me. I then turned to face the thing but it was gone...

I picked up my hammer and then thought about what I should do. I had to get out of Skara Brae. Working for one monster is enough, but having another monster stalking the one you’re working for just ain't a good way to make a living.
