Holmes - Michael John Light
Prologue: Failure to Learn
LOVECRAFT DECIDED HE needed to get away from Moriarity for a time, rethink his strategies. As he fled his uptown flat, he disguised his tracks with magic that made his footprints, even his body odors vanish, leaving no track for the Professor Moriarity and his dark henchmen to track him by.
He was taking no chances on discovery. Accidental or otherwise!
Yes, intellect was powerful; but so was magic! He fumed to himself, his anger still drizzling like bitter vile down his throat. Intellect more important than magic! Never! He hadn’t lived this long by his intellect. But by magic. Dark and decisive magic!
And that Holmes and his friends.
His hands clutched into fists in anger when he thought of them. Thwarting him again and again.
So sorry!
A tall gentleman said after he turned and bumped into Lovecraft by accident.
Lovecraft eyed the man carefully for a moment. Accident or not?
Then he dismissed him. His first impression of the man had been totally wrong. His right eye was wearing a single lens barely held in place. His hair was a disaster of cheap oil holding it together. His hat was acceptable except it was torn on one side, allowing the greasy hair to spill out. His pants were soiled from what had been, obviously, days of sleeping on the pavement of dank and dirty alleyways.
No. Not gentlemen, but a bum.
Apology accepted,
Lovecraft said.
He waved his left hand and sent the man head over heels to crash into a wall, where he struck hard, then slumped to the pavement.
He didn’t move.
Dead?
He didn’t care.
He was a roach in his way.
Nothing more.
Nothing less.
Lovecraft smiled, his face creasing in all the right places, but the smile was devoid of humor. Instead, it was an outpost of dark anger and sacrilege. He no longer cared about his fellow man. That had stopped a long time ago, or he never could have taken over this body.
The man, if alive, was lucky. His mood was such that he might have as easily sent him to the dark nether worlds of the Elder Gods. Then he would not be dead; nor would he be alive. The man would then wish he were dead.
Lovecraft hadn’t even thought about what he had done. It was automatic. He had only one overreaching thought in forefront of his mind: Reaching his secret abode. The secret abode he had cultivated for such an emergency as this.
A place where he could gather his thoughts and rethink his goals, his priorities. Redesign his plans without the meddling fingers
