‘Your Emperor is a lie,’ said the figure, standing over Gedder, silhouetted against the sickly night sky. ‘But I can show you the truth, old one.’

He extended a hand. Its fingers were long and thin, almost spider-like. Gedder reached out and took it, gritting his teeth as he clambered to his feet.

The gunslinger led him into the shadows of a nearby alley, where a river of grey-brown water seeped from a rusted grate.

‘I always believed the tales,’ he said, hearing the tremble in his words. ‘I always knew you were real. That you would lead the great uprising and save us all from tyranny.’

‘I’m no saviour,’ said the gunslinger, bending down and tearing the grate free. Wire-roaches hissed and spilled from the mouth of the opening. ‘Just a messenger, bringing the word of the star saviours to those who need to hear it.’ He stepped aside, and gestured into the outflow pipe.

Gedder’s brow knotted in confusion, but he bent down and stared into the darkness. Gingerly, he entered the opening. He heard the skittering of limbs, and a host of lambent eyes peered back at him. He had an impression of obscene, alien wetness, of writhing chitin and drooling strands of saliva.

‘What is this?’ he said, overcome by a primal sense of dread.

He turned, scrambling to get out of that terrible place, but the grate slammed shut in his face. The face of the gunslinger appeared, illuminated by a strip of moonlight. It no longer appeared the face of a saviour. Its flesh was waxy and pallid, and a bony ridge ran down the centre of its skull. Those eyes, those black eyes, no longer reflected the light of rebellion. Now they offered nothing but cold, alien indifference.

‘Let me out!’ Gedder screeched, his voice rising as panic seized him. ‘There’s something… moving in here!’

The gunslinger did not answer. Something closed around Gedder’s ankle and pulled with terrible strength. The last thing he saw before he was dragged into darkness was his own terrified face reflected in those pitiless eyes.
