Finally, the organ began to beat normally. A shudder ran through the entire maze as a wisp of consciousness fluttered and bubbled quietly. It began to take shape, grow, become solid. It was aware. It knew of the cold stone, of the lives within it's halls. It knew of itself, it's own physical form. It turned and shimmered, until a woman stood  there in the room.<br/><br/>She opened her eyes, took a deep breath, flexing her muscles. She had to remember how to move, how to<em>exist.</em>It was easy enough, the memories flashing quickly in her mind. She turned, her gaze focusing on the huge throbbing mass in front of her. Her heart, her lifeline,<em>herself.</em>She reached over and very lightly touched it, her fingers running along the scar that reached from one end of the organ to the other. It had been done by a human, a nasty brute that had found his way to the center of her maze. He hadn't wanted to wait the three seconds it took to send him back, and because of that she'd nearly died. It had taken forever for her to heal from the wound. She'd slept. For so long it had been dark, so quiet. For so long it had been....<br/><br/>"So boring." the woman spoke aloud, and let loose a dark laugh that flew over the entireity of her maze. The torches burst into flame, giving light to the corridors, letting every creature know that she was awake, and so<em>very much alive.</em><br/><br/>It took only a moment, her mind reaching out to the human realm, her thoughts calling to them, summoning them into her halls. Finally, she could be entertained again, to watch the pain and lust and screams. Another laugh tore from her, and then the form she'd taken dissapeared.
