The desert wind continued to blow through the canvas of the tent, and she seemed to begin to hear a sad voice that echoed in her ears and in her bones. Changes begin very subtly. The dream, which had begun with a brief glimpse of swirling dust and obsidian optics staring into the middle of a forgotten city, was now clear and vivid.
It was no longer just a dream; it was a memory, or a prophecy, of events she could not place, events that seemed very familiar and strange to her. She would wake up dazed, her heart pounding against her ribs, the taste of dust and other things on his tongue, metallic and bitter. Her mind, once her most trusted weapon, was now seriously affected. The screeching of scorpions in the night, the terrible tremor of the ground miles away—these noises, meaningless at first, caught the woman's attention and stopped her from shivering.
She found himself shivering from the unexpected touch, shivering from the casual camaraderie of the group. She paid attention, but now she felt... different. An obsessive, almost obsessive concentration clouded his thoughts and there was no time for anything else. His friend and old acquaintance Dr. Alistair Finch noticed another change.
She attributed the change to the constant pressure of the mine, the long hours of labor in the relentless sun, and the stress of deciphering the mysterious symbols carved into the giant's optic. "You're so tired, Emma," he said, his voice worried. "Rest, get some rest."
But even as he spoke, a cold fear stirred in his gut, a disturbing sense that something deeper, something more sinister, was at work. The very eyes, covered by their protective shields, seemed to glow with an inner light. She had seen them in the night, a dim glow that seemed to bubble and flow with the thoughts of his heart. Of course, it was meaningless. A picture, no matter how old, should not have... life.
But the feeling persisted, the certainty that the object was not just an inanimate object but a real thing, something that would look at it, examine it, examine it. One morning she noticed that his writing had changed. His handwriting, usually beautiful, full and neat, was irregular, almost free. The letters were scattered across the page, the lines very crooked as if written by a trembling hand.
She did not realize at the time that what she had seen was truly heartbreaking. The change was not only in his writing style, but also in his way of thinking. His sharp, analytical mind was clouded, filled with paranoia. She began to question her colleagues, suspecting a deeper motive, interpreting signs of innocence as deliberate sabotage or betrayal. One evening, as she reviewed the results of the day, a strange feeling came over her - she felt very familiar.
The hieroglyphs on the broken clay seemed to resonate with deep memory. She traced the signs with her fingers, her heart pounding, and a voice, old and terrible, whispered in her mind, not in his ears, but in her life. It was the oldest language she had ever learned, but she understood it, she understood it well.
It entered his mind, leaving behind disturbing images and dire predictions. Sleep becomes a battlefield, a chaos filled with horrific visions. They can be found in the corridors of ancient temples, followed by shadowy figures with unknown but sinister intentions. She woke with a groan, her body shaking with sweat, convinced that the shadow was behind his tent.
The lines between dreams and reality are blurred, like an eerie tapestry woven from forgotten horrors and horrific premonitions. Even during the day, a strange group of people started attacking her. She saw herself far away from the hospital watching her actions, her thoughts, as if she were watching a stranger take part in a horrific drama. The scenery in the mine has changed, and the familiar faces of the workers have become magical.
The sun seemed to shine ominously and the wind was strong, signaling impending disaster. She began to see patterns, connections, and places where none existed. A broken weapon, a whisper, a bird flying in the desert - everything becomes a big picture, a bad idea swirling around her. Her previously sharp intellect, her ability to dissect and dissect, could cause problems, turning the mundane into danger and the innocent into a threat.
The effect of the eyes is subtle, reaching into the depths of her psyche and rewriting his reality. Her passion for it grew, and a fire was lit to burn her to death. Her diet, sleep, hygiene, work, everything was neglected.
The eye was reborn, its strange power drawing it like a moth to a flame. I spent those nights poring over ancient texts, searching for answers in forgotten languages, exhausting myself. Those days were spent examining the artifact, touching it, transforming it into a lover, a god, a vengeful god. The results of these subtle transformations were dramatic. Its flawless performance faded, replaced by sudden anger, strange audacity, and intense fear. She began to hear whispers of a future that seemed to come from within, of great power, boundless knowledge, and the ability to change the world to her will. However, these conversations were filled with warnings of spiritual threats that would lead to dire consequences if she disobeyed their commands.
The artifact was no longer a subject of study, it was her master and her obedient servant; One day Alistair saw it staring intently at Anya, its optics wide open, its pessimistic expression and pale complexion. It spoke in a low, muffled voice, its speech slurred and incomprehensible, its bowels spinning. She approached her, trying to pull her away from the container's influence, but she fled even more forcefully than she had expected.
The fear in his eyes reflected the fear that trembled in Emma's heart, not from the thing itself, but from the fear that had awakened in her, from the terrible abyss that had opened in her soul. Sge had been an archaeologist, a brilliant scientist, and now he had disappeared into something else. Anya was not only distorting his mind, he was destroying him. he had begun to transform his soul, his head, into something strange, into something.
It is dark, ancient and terrifyingly powerful. The excavation of the past is the discovery of something far more sinister, a dispute not only for the world's forgotten treasures but for the depths of its own nature, a battle for its purity, a struggle for survival. The line between scientist and subject has become blurred, and Emma Taylor is now lost in a terrifying laboratory of madness and madness. It was a descent into the darkest corners of his soul, a line from which there was no clear way to escape.
Snow's passionate whispers continued their feeble work, erasing the last traces of his humanity and turning him into a puppet of her desire. The conversion is complete. The archaeologist disappeared, replaced by something much worse. The optics won.
