Wendel paused. He could hear a voice. \n\n"Hey, Boss? Fox here. He can't get out this way. This lift here's not working and I'm standing at the foot of the stairs."\n\n[[Leave the stairs|Exit B1]] at the 1st floor.\n\n
He found his way back to the Jupiter door.

Wendell listened for the sound of footsteps on the stairs, but all was silence.\n\n[[Go up|Stairs B9]]\n[[Go down|Stairs B7]]
Wendell found an account of an attack on a powerful demon. \n\n"They set on Horvek with swords and axes, attacking from all sides. An axe took Horvek in the face, slicing into his jaw and knocking out his teeth. Yet he fought on, slaying foe after foe with well-placed strokes of his blade. Then a man taller than the rest ran to the fight; a man as tall as any demon. Horvek parried his thrusts, but he was tiring and in pain from his wound. With a swing of his broadsword the man took off Horvek's head. The human thought the battle done and turned to his men, who cheered him for his victory. But even as they applauded their chief, Horvek's arm's reached for his head, caught it and brought it to his neck, where it joined. In a few minutes it had healed enough for Horvek to rise to his feet. The demon picked up his sword and staggered towards the men, shouting a battle cry. As they turned at his shout, they saw his teeth had already begun to grow back. Feeling stronger every second, Horvek ran to the man who had cut him down and, before the human had recovered from the shock of seeing him rise, cut off his head."\n\nIt seemed demons were very hard to kill! He would have to look elsewhere for the [[answer|Answer 2]].

He heard voices. \n\n"Where the hell's he got to?"\n\n"He's not gone past me."\n\nIt sounded like they were coming towards him. Heart pounding, he dived [[into the lift|Green Lift]].
As the doors slid open Wendell saw one of the thugs coming towards him. [[He jabbed the <i>close doors</i> button.|Green Lift]]
Wendell stepped out as the doors opened. Ahead of him were reinforced glass double doors, the way out of the building. Before he could reach them they opened and two men marched in. Two of the men he had seen earlier at the antique shop! He [[dived back into the lift|Green Lift]] and slammed the button.
First floor! He was almost there. \n\n[[Go left|Left G1]]\n[[Go right|Right G1]]
As he stepped into the 6th floor corridor a man in a hooded jacket, hood up, came round the corner. The man reached into his jacket.\n\nWendell didn't wait to see if he drew a gun. The lift was there, doors just closing. [[He jumped in|Green Lift]] just in time.\n\n

Wendell tore down the corridor, glancing back over his shoulder. He'd never spoken to anyone on the fifth floor, except for a greeting and a word about the weather when he met them in the lift. He hoped they'd all stay safely in their flats. \n\nHe stopped, out of breath. For the moment, there seemed to be no gangsters on this floor. \n\n[[Take the red lift|Red Lift]]\n[[Take the red stairs|Stairs R5]]\n<<if $bluelift is "try">>\n[[Take the blue lift|Blue Lift]]\n<<endif>>\n[[Take the blue stairs|Stairs B5]]\n[[Back to the green lift|Green Lift]]\n

<<if $Rivers is "none">>\nWendell emerged from the lift and looked to left and right. There was old Mrs Rivers from 805 with her shopping basket, headed straight for him. He'd first met her a few days after he moved in. She'd told him she lived right below him, and it was fine if he made a noise; she was getting a bit hard of hearing. Since then she'd always wanted a chat every time they'd met.

He walked through the door with nervous glances to left and right. No-one was there except the lift repairman. \n\n"Hey," the man said. "What do you guys do to these lifts? This is the third time I've been out to this block in a couple of months."\n\n"Why can't you [[keep the lifts in order]] so they don't break down?

The ghostly figure sighed. "Perhaps you should find out more before you take this test. You should speak to the three men in the new part of the house. They have made a study of the supernatural and may be able to give you some answers."\n\nFaint echoes of the pale green light seemed to float about him as he found his way back to the room where the three writers sat smoking. <<if $demonbook is "not">>Machen was flicking through the pages of Conan Doyle's magic book.<<endif>>\n\n[[Ask more questions]]\n

Labyrinth Tower
A great hulk of a man pushed through from the stairs, phone still in his hand. \n\n"Boss? Hey, Boss, he's here!"\n\nAs the man's huge hand grabbed for him, Wendell ran for the door. Fingers scraped the sleeve of his jacket. He pushed through to the street and sprinted down to the corner. He raced into the high street and, before his pursuer could turn the corner, dived into a [[coffee shop]].
He'd gone into a little antique shop hoping to find the kind of old books he liked. Wendell was a postgrad at London University. History was his subject, and his PhD thesis was about the magical beliefs of the Dark Ages. He trawled second-hand bookshops for anything he could find about alchemy, druids, standing stone circles and the medicinal properties of herbs when gathered at the new moon. He'd found this kind of book in that little shop before. But today he hadn't bought a book. Instead he'd ended up buying this box which he couldn't even open. \n\nHe pressed the star symbol again and felt the same slight movement. \n\n[[Push the symbol harder]]\n[[Turn the star symbol]]\n\n
Soon he would reach the ground floor. If only the way out was clear!\n\n[[Go down|Stairs B1]]
The leader pulled out a revolver. Gripping it in his huge hand, he aimed at Wendel's stomach. "This is going to hurt," he growled. "Sure you don't want to give me that box?"\n[[Give him the box|End 1]]\n[[Refuse|End 2]]
He walked down the corridor until he reached the lift and stairs. Should he go to his own flat or drop in on George Bentwood? George lived in flat 614, Wendell's flat was on the 9th floor. He could get off at the 6th floor on his way up and see George's book. \n\nHe should take care in case the tough guys were hanging around near his flat. \n\n[[Take the lift|Red Lift]]\n[[Take the stairs|Stairs R0 book]]
Wendell ran for the door. As he pulled it open, a great hulk of a man pushed through from the stairs, phone still in his hand. \n\n"Boss? Hey, Boss, he's here!"\n\nThe man made a grab for him. Fingers scraped the sleeve of his jacket as he pushed through to the street and sprinted down to the corner. He raced into the high street and, before his pursuer could turn the corner, dived into a [[coffee shop]].
The bat flapped its leathery wings. "Then hear my question, Wizard. What was the greatest magical battle of ancient times, in which angels fought against demons?"\n\nThat shouldn't be too difficult, Wendell thought. How many such battles could there be? He should be able to find it in some old book of magic. \n\n[[Consult the book, "The Magic of Demons".|Demons three]]\n<<if $angelbook is "got">>\n[[Consult the book, "The Magic of Angels".|Angels three]]\n<<endif>>\n
The dog - or wolf - took a few steps towards him. Wendell held his ground. He was sure if he turned to run the beast would attack. It stopped and looked straight into his eyes.\n\n"Wizard, it may be that demons will try to stop you, even to kill you. If so, you will need to kill them first! Do you know how to kill a demon?"\n\nDemons were supposed to be immortal! Nothing Wendell had read had suggested it was possible to kill one. \n\n[[Consult the book, The Magic of Demons|Demons two]]\n<<if $angelbook is "got">>[[Consult the book, The Magic of Angels|Angels two]]<<endif>>
"Our enemy is a demon lord. If you are to help us, you must first know how to recognise a demon. For they can take many forms and possess the bodies of humans both willing and unwilling. Tell me, Wizard, what is the one sure way to recognise a demon?"\n\nWendell had read about demons but he didn't know the answer to this question. He wished he was back in the university library. \n<<if $demonbook is "got">>\n[[Consult the book, "The Magic of Demons".]]\n<<endif>><<if $angelbook is "got">>\n[[Consult the book, "The Magic of Angels".]]\n<<endif>>

"Stop or we shoot!" came a shout from below. Two men raced round the turn of the stair, holding guns. They aimed at Wendell.\n\n"I'll take that box." One of the men grabbed it from under Wendell's arm. Guns still pointed at him, they backed away down the stairs.\n\nThough he never knew it, if he'd managed to hang on to the box his whole life would have been different. \n\nThe end. \n\nOr maybe not. \n\n[[Here's a chance to have that different life.|previous()]]

Wendell stopped and listened. He could hear heavy footsteps coming up the stairs. Sounded like two men, climbing fast. Of course they might not be anything to do with him, but was it worth the risk?\n\nPerhaps there was a way to get below them, using a lift or different stairs?\n\n[[Go up|Stairs R5]]\n[[Go down|Stairs R3]]\n[[Leave the stairs|Exit R4]] here at the 4th floor.

"Great! Come round to my flat any time. I'm going back there now." George drank the last drops of his coffee and stood up. "See you later, Wendell."\n\n"I can't come right away. There are some nasty types looking for me. Best if I stay away from Labyrinth Tower for a while. And George? If anyone asks, better say you haven't see me."\n\n"Of course!

A door stood open and Wendell looked through into a disused room. The abandoned furniture was draped in sheets, coated thick and grey with dust. No-one had sat in those chairs for more than fifty years. \n\n<<if visited() is 1>>Something on the bare floorboards of the room caught his eye. A square tile with a number on it.

Nothing happened. He pressed the other three symbols with no result. Wendell heard footsteps outside. There was a moment of silence. Then a loud knock. "Who's there?" he called. No answer. \n\n[[Open the door|Open the door]]\n[[Don't open the door!|Don't open the door]]

All Wendell's instincts shouted at him to run, but he knew his enemy would be faster. There was only one thing he could do. \n\n[[Give him the box]]\n[[Open the box]]\n\n
Try taking the green lift down to the first floor. This should get you below the bad guys who are on their way up the stairs. Then you'll just need to avoid the ones at the doors.\n\n[[Back|previous()]]
Wendell wandered the gloomy corridors until he came to a place he recognised. He had returned to where he started. Through a door he heard the three men talking. He knew they would be discussing him and for a moment he was tempted to listen. But if he was ever going to get home, he needed to continue his search. He retraced his steps to where the corridor branched.\n\n[[Left]]\n[[Right]]
This magic square used numbers from 1 to 16. Wendell decided he wouldn't need tile 22.\n\n[[Back|previous()]]
"It'll be half an hour at least before this one's ready to ride."\n\n[[Take the stairs|Phone man]]
His fingers moving with a speed born of desperation, Wendell turned first the star symbol, then the wheel. The world around him blurred and vanished into whiteness and he found himself back in [[Mosaic Keep|Explore 5]].
<<if visited() is 1>>He saw another of the numbered tiles and picked it up. <<set $tile8 to "8,">><<endif>>Soon he reached a closed door. He tried to turn the handle but it stuck.

"You don't sound like a demon." Machen was still suspicious. "Are you trying to trick us?"\n\n"No! I don't quite know how I got here." Had these men really succeeded in performing a magic ritual? Or could it have been the box? \n\n"We summoned you! If you're not a demon, are you one of the spirits that haunts this old house?"\n\n"No!" Wendell looked round at the dimly lit room.

Some small creature scuttled away as he approached. Wendell hoped it wasn't a rat. He hurried on till he reached a corner.\n\n[[Right|Right4]]\n
There was a faint click, but nothing happened. \n<<if $cafe is "none">>\n"This is your last chance to open this door!" came a shout.\n\n[[Open the door|Open the door]]\n[[Don't open the door!|Don't open the door]]\n<<endif>>\n<<if $cafe is "done">>\n[[Turn the wheel anticlockwise|Mosaic Keep]]\n<<endif>>

He heard voices. \n\n"Christ! Haven't you found him yet?"\n\n"Not seen him. He can't have got past me."\n\nIt sounded like they were coming towards him. Heart pounding, he dived [[into the lift|Red Lift]].
Wendell pressed the button for the ground floor and leaned against the wall with a sigh of relief. With any luck, he would be out of Labyrinth Tower in moments. They wouldn't dare to attack him in the high street in the middle of the afternoon. If he could just get that far he would be safe.\n\nThe lift stopped. Two burly men pushed in as the doors slid open. \n\n"We know you've got the box," said one as the other pulled out a gun. The first man grabbed it from Wendell, who didn't dare resist.\n\nThough he never knew it, if he'd managed to hang on to the box his whole life would have been different. \n\nThe end. \n\nOr maybe not. \n\n[[Here's a chance to have that different life.|Red Lift]]
As the doors slid open Wendell saw one of the thugs coming towards him. [[He jabbed the <i>close doors</i> button.|Red Lift]]
A man came round the corner, a big man with a hat pulled down over his ears, a hand reaching into the pocket of his coat. Wendell didn't wait to see if he pulled out a gun.\n\nHe jumped back [[into the lift|Red Lift]].
Wendell strode down the corridor, glancing back over his shoulder. He'd never spoken to anyone on the fifth floor, except for a greeting and a word about the weather when he met them in the lift. He hoped they'd all stay safely in their flats. \n\nFor the moment, there seemed to be no gangsters on this floor. \n\n[[Take the green lift|Green Lift]]\n[[Take the green stairs|Stairs G5]]\n[[Take the red lift|Red Lift]]\n[[Take the red stairs|Stairs R5]]\n<<if $bluelift is "try">>\n[[Take the blue lift|Blue Lift]]\n<<endif>>\n[[Take the blue stairs|Stairs B5]]\n\n

Two points of light showed as the candle was reflected by the eyes of some small creature. Could it be a rat? Wendell hoped it wouldn't come near him. He turned the corner [[to the left|left3]].\n\n

"Better watch out, Mrs Rivers. There's some nasty looking gangsters around today."\n\n"Gangsters, Wendell? Maybe I should stay at home today. The shopping can wait till tomorrow."

"Hello, George."\n\n"Wendell! I was hoping I'd see you. I've just bought a book I think you'll find interesting. It's about occult philosophy.

"You have done well, Wizard." The spirit smiled. "You must find the next door yourself. I cannot go through to the inner chambers until all the doors are open; the doors of Saturn, Jupiter and Mars. When you have opened the door of Mars, then I will come to you in the inmost room."\n\n"But if you go I'll have no light!" Wendell protested.

Wendell took the magic box from his pocket. He looked at the four symbols carved into the top: the star, the sun, the ringed planet, the moon. The metal piece was the same size and shape as the carved grooves that depicted the rings of the planet. Wendell held the metal piece to the grooves.

Bright light seared through the darkness and instinctively his eyes closed.

Wendell bought a coffee and took it to the quiet little room upstairs. \n\nGeorge Bentwood was still there. "Hey, Wendell! Where did you disappear to?" he asked.\n\n[[Speak to George]]

There was a crash as the door shook. They were going to force it open! \n\nAnother crash and three men burst into the room. They stood between him and the door, blocking off his escape as their leader said, "Give us the box. We know you've got it." His box! It must be a lot more valuable than he'd imagined.\n\n[[Give them the box|End 1]]\n[[Refuse|Refuse]]
Terrified out of his wits, Wendell threw the box down and ran. Before he had gone three steps a blast of magic force hit him in the back. He was thrown off his feet and rolled down the steps to come to rest at the creature's feet. A huge clawed hand picked up the box. Then, as Wendell died, the creature took back his human shape.\n\n"And so die all who dare to oppose me!" his triumphant voice rang out.\n\nThe end.\n\nAnd you were doing so well! Wendell was almost ready to take the first steps to gaining a wizard's power. You deserve a [[second chance|Wendell slowed]].
Before the old woman could speak to him, Wendell [[ran down the stairs.]] \n\n<<set $Rivers to "done">>
<<set $tile9 to "">>\n\nSuccess! The tile slotted easily into its space. \n\n[[Place the next tile|Select empty]]
But just as he was reaching into his pocket for his keys he heard a raised voice from inside. \n\n"I'm running out of patience!"\n\nA quieter voice answered. "We've searched the whole flat, Boss. I'll swear it's not here. He must have taken it with him."\n\nThey were searching his flat for the box! As silently as he could, Wendell darted towards the nearest lift.\n\n[[Take the lift|Green Lift]]\n[[Take the stairs|Stairs G9]]
He hadn't liked the look of the three men. He certainly wasn't waiting around to find out what they wanted. And he was definitely hanging on to his box. \n\nHe'd gone into the shop hoping to find the kind of old books he liked. Wendel was a postgrad at London University. History was his subject, and his PhD thesis was about the magical beliefs of the Dark Ages. He trawled second-hand bookshops for anything he could find about alchemy, druids, standing stone circles and the medicinal properties of herbs when gathered at the new moon. He'd found this kind of book in that little shop before. But today he hadn't bought a book. Instead he'd ended up buying this box which he couldn't even open. \n\nWendell's flat was on the 9th floor, right at the top of Labyrinth Tower. He stopped outside the lift and hesitated. \n\n[[Take the lift|Green Lift]]\n[[Take the stairs|Stairs G9]]
He remembered how the star symbol had moved under his finger. He pressed the star symbol again and felt the same slight movement. \n\n[[Push the symbol harder|No result star]]\n[[Turn the star symbol]]\n\n
The black candle went out. Wendell struck a match and managed to relight it.\n\nHe was in another dark gallery, not as long as the first. It stretched in both directions. Which way should he go? [[Left|left5]] or [[right|right3]]?
He ran down the corridor to the lift and jabbed the button. Before the doors had fully opened, he [[squeezed inside|Green Lift]].
He saw a large door to his right. A cobweb hung down from the upper doorframe. Could this be the door that led to the haunted wing? \n\nThere were some tiles set into the door, arranged in a square. They had numbers carved into them, just like the tiles he had found. He could see some of the tiles were missing. \n\n<<if visited() is 1>>Just by his foot he saw another tile. Perhaps it would fit into the pattern on the door?<<set $tile9 to "9,">><<endif>>\n<<if $sq3 is "none">>\n[[Complete the pattern]]<<endif>><<if $sq3 is "done">>\nWendell had constructed the magic square.

He went to the counter for a coffee, wishing it was something stronger. He knew this place had a tiny upstairs room with two small tables. The stairs were at the back and most customers didn't know it was there. It would be a good place to hide. \n\nHe went upstairs and sat at one of the tables. The only other person up there put down his newspaper when he saw Wendell come in. \n\nWendell recognised his neighbour, George Bentwood from the sixth floor. They had spoken a couple of times about [[old books]].\n\n[[Speak to Mr Bentwood]]\n[[Ignore him and try to open the box]]\n\n<<set $cafe to "done">>
Wendell raced down the corridor, glancing back over his shoulder. He'd never spoken to anyone on the fifth floor, except for a greeting and a word about the weather when he met them in the lift. He hoped they'd all stay safely in their flats. \n\nHe stopped, out of breath. For the moment, there seemed to be no gangsters on this floor. \n\n[[Take the red lift|Red Lift]]\n[[Take the red stairs|Stairs R5]]\n[[Take the green lift|Green Lift]]\n[[Take the green stairs|Stairs G5]]\n<<if $bluelift is "try">>\n[[Take the blue lift|Blue Lift]]\n<<endif>>\n[[Back to the blue stairs|Stairs B5]]\n
He hurried along the corridor till he reached the next lift and stairs.\n\n[[Take the lift|Red Lift]]\n[[Take the stairs|Stairs R4]]
He looked into a disused room. It was damp and bitterly cold. No fire had been lit there for more than fifty years. \n\nWendell glanced back over his shoulder as he hurried down the corridor. He paused before he turned the corner.\n\n[[Left|Left3]]
The passage ended in a closed door. Could this be the way to the old wing? Wendell tried the handle.\n\nThe door opened with a creak. The remains of a cobweb drifted down from the doorframe. <<if visited() is 1>>Just inside the door was another of the numbered tiles.<<set $tile7 to "7,">><<endif>>\n\n[[Go through the door]]\n<p class="tiles">\n<<set $tiles to [$tile2, $tile3, $tile4, $tile5, $tile6, $tile7, $tile8, $tile9, $tile11, $tile12, $tile13, $tile15, $tile18, $tile19, $tile20, $tile22]>>\nYou have tiles numbered <<print $tiles.join(" ")>>\n</p>\n
There was a flash of bright light that made him shut his eyes. When he opened them he was somewhere else. \n\nHe sat at a round table. In front of him, at the exact centre of the table, was a black wax candle. An old book lay open before him. From where he sat, the faded grey letters scrawled across yellowing pages were upside down. Wendell didn't need to read the words. Symbols decorated the margins and some were very familiar. He had seen enough books of magic to recognise one when he saw it. \n\nOnly then did he see, in the shadows beyond the candlelight, three men sitting back from the table, staring in his direction. As he watched, one of them pushed back his chair and stood. With a trembling hand he pointed at Wendell. \n\n"Begone, demon!"\n\n"I'm not a demon!" Wendell protested, at the same time as another man said, "Come on, Machen, now we've got him here, let's at least ask him some questions."\n\n"He may not be a demon," the third said. "Machen, I'm sure you don't wish to insult one of the Tuatha de Danann, if that's what we've got here."\n\n"What are you, creature of dark lands?" the one named Machen asked Wendell.\n\n[[Hi, my name's Wendell.

Wendell wasn't sure what to do. He had no way of knowing where in the building the men might be who wanted to find him and take away his magic box. He couldn't bear to give it up without finding out what else it might do. Already he had learned more about how magic really worked by using the box than he had in a year of study. \n\nBut he had to go back to his flat sometime. His laptop was there, with what he'd written of his PhD thesis. All his books were there. His rent was paid till the end of the month. \n\n"Hell," he thought. "They might watch the place for weeks."\n\nHe could never be sure he'd be safe. Might as well [[risk it|Go in]].

"Were you trying to summon a demon?"\n\n"No! We were trying to see the ghosts who haunt this ancient dwelling. Conan Doyle found a ritual in an old book. He thought we should use it to summon the spirits, but I was afraid. Such things can lead to evil. How could we be sure we wouldn't summon some terrible creature, a demon from some faraway hell?"\n\n"So you believe in ghosts and demons?"\n\n"I'm persuaded their existence is possible.

As Wendell stepped through the door, the flame of the black candle flickered once, twice and went out. Total darkness would have been bad enough. Instead there was a pale green light which dazzled his eyes. He blinked, and slowly began to make out what he saw. \n\nThe shape of a woman, tall, dressed in white and ghostly pale, appeared before him. Her white hair fell free around her face. \n\n"Welcome, Wizard," she said in a voice filled with quiet sadness. "The spirits of Mosaic Keep thank you. We have waited many a year for the damage to that door to be repaired."\n\nWendell heard a murmur of voices and saw glimpses of other shapes, human forms appearing and vanishing. As he tried to focus on each new vision, it would disappear. \n\n"Gracious spirits of this place," Wendell replied, "I've come to ask for your help. Could you tell me how to get back to my own time?"\n\nThe woman raised her eyebrows. "Why do you ask us, Wizard? You have the demon's casket there in your pocket. Do you think you can hide it from us?"\n\n"I only got it today, and I've no idea how to use it," Wendell admitted. "I don't even know how it brought me here."\n\n"Perhaps I could help." The woman's thin lips curved in a smile. "First, some questions. Wizard, will you take the test?"\n\n[[Yes!|first question]]\n[[No!|Refusal]]\n\n<<set $sq3 to "done">>
"Your people, in recent times, claim that ghosts don't really exist. Modern science doesn't allow for such creatures. Yet you see me and hear me, Wizard. What of other beings called supernatural? Do you believe in demons, Wizard?"\n\nWendell had always assumed that demons were the product of human imagination; monsters created by priests to strike fear into the faithful. Could he have been wrong?\n<<if $Machen1 is "done">>\n"[[I'm persuaded their existence is possible.|second question]] Every wise man must know he doesn't know everything.

Three men pushed their way in, big bulky men who stood between him and the door, blocking off his escape as their leader said, "Give us the box. We know you've got it." His box! It must be a lot more valuable than he'd imagined.\n\n[[Give them the box|End 1]]\n[[Refuse|Refuse]]

Wendell turned a corner and jumped back in shock. There in front of him was a large dog as black as a shadow. Wendell usually liked dogs, but this one was different. Could it possibly be a wolf? The beast's great mouth opened in a yawn, showing pointed canines. \n\n"No need to be afraid, Wizard!" Its voice was almost human.\n\nWendell knew he must not show fear. "Are you one of the spirits of this place?" he asked. \n<<if visited("Correct two")>>\nThe dark beast growled. "You have answered my question.

George opened it. "Oh! Hello again, Wendell. Good to see you. I suppose you've come to see my book?" He took an old book down from a shelf. Wendell looked at it with growing excitement. \n\n"The Magic of Angels by Augustus Cornelius? That's incredible! Look!" He showed George the book he had got in Mosaic Keep, The Magic of Demons. "A few hours ago I'd never heard of Augustus Cornelius, and now I've seen two books by him."\n\n"They're obviously companion volumes." George looked at Wendell's book with fascination. "I'd never heard of this Cornelius before either, though he may have been well known in the sixteenth century. I've looked through my book and he seems extremely well read and knowledgeable about philosophy in general and alchemy in particular."\n\n"Could I borrow your book for a couple of days? I'd like to compare the two, and it may be useful for my thesis."\n\n"Of course, Wendell! I know you'll bring it back in good condition."<<set $angelbook to "got">>\n\nWendell thanked George and left the flat, taking both books with him. He decided to go up to his flat on the [[ninth floor|go back to the flat]]

There was a door to one side. From behind it Wendell could hear the three men who had sent him on his search. He wasn't at all sure it was they who had brought him here. He suspected the box had something to do with it.\n\nNo doubt they were talking about him. For a moment he was tempted to listen. But his need to get back to his own time won and he trudged back up the corridor.\n\n[[Left]]\n[[Right]]
<<set $tile3 to "">>\n\nWendell slid the tile into its space, fitting it firmly in place.\n\n[[Place the next tile|Select empty]]
[img[title]]\n\nWithout doubt it was a thing of beauty, and very old. Probably worth a lot more than the £25 he'd paid. Wendell unwrapped the little box and gloated over its aged oak surface, running his fingers round the sides and across the lid. \n\nFour carved symbols were fixed to the lid; a sunburst, a crescent moon, a ringed planet and a six-pointed star. He tried to prise the box open but the lid was stuck fast. He shook it; there was no sound, but he thought the star moved under his finger. Putting the box on the table, he pressed down hard on the star, willing the box to open.\n\nThe door buzzer sounded. Wendell picked up the entry phone. "Who is it?" There was no reply. \n\n[[Hit the button to let them in|Wait]]\n[[Look out of the window|View]]\n\n<<set $Rivers to "none">>\n<<set $bluelift to "try">>\n<<set $cafe to "none">>\n<<set $angelbook to "not">>\n<<set $George to "none">>\n<<set $box to "locked">>\n\n
Some of the wierd symbols painted on the walls were familiar from the book of demon magic. He reached a corner and turned [[to the left|left1]].
The lift man laughed. "When did they build this thing? The sixties? Lifts are like people. When they get to be over fifty they start to go wrong. Sometimes there's nothing anyone can do about it."\n\n[["How long till you get it fixed?"|"Is it fixed yet?"]] Wendell asked.
A man came up the stairs towards him. He didn't seem to be one of the thugs who had been hunting him. This man wore a dark grey suit. He was well over six feet tall and strongly built. Wendell had a feeling he'd seen the man somewhere before. Instinctively his hand went to the box in his pocket. Of course! This man had pushed past him on his way into the antique shop, just as Wendell was coming out.\n\nThe man held out his hand. "Give it to me, you puny fool," he said, taking a step closer. "You must know you have no chance."\n\nThe tall man took another step up the stairs. Sunlight came through the glass panel into the stairwell and fell on his face. His eyes glinted red. \n\n"Pathetic weakling! Aren't you afraid? Give me what's mine!" \n\nThe man reached the landing and turned so his back was to the glass. He crouched a little, as if to leap up at Wendell. His shadow changed its shape until a long reptilian silhouette stretched before him. \n\nWendell slowly pulled the box from his pocket. He couldn't tear his eyes away from the being who confronted him. \n\nThe creature laughed, and as he laughed the human sound changed to a screech like nothing Wendell had heard before. His face changed, eye sockets deepening, bones almost showing through roughening skin. His body altered its shape as his clothes transformed into thick scaled hide. By the time the ugly noise stopped, nothing about the creature could be called human.\n\n[[Give him the box]]\n[[Hold on to it]]\n
He twisted the symbol clockwise. A section of the lid lifted up. Inside were miniature wheels and interlocking gears. One tiny wheel was raised above the rest.\n<<if $cafe is "none">>\nHe heard heavy footsteps outside and someone knocked loudly on the door. "Open up in three seconds or we'll break the door down! One, two, three..." A heavy body crashed against the door. \n<<endif>>\nWendell turned the small wheel.\n\n[[Turn it clockwise]]\n[[Turn it anticlockwise|Mosaic Keep]]
Wendel was a postgrad at London University. History was his subject, and his PhD thesis was about the magical beliefs of the Dark Ages. He trawled second-hand bookshops for anything he could find about alchemy, druids, standing stone circles and the medicinal properties of herbs when gathered at the new moon. One day, in a little antique shop, he'd recognised a man he'd seen at Labyrinth Tower. They hadn't spoken except for a brief "hello" in the lift. But after this chance meeting they found they had a love of old books in common. \n\nWendell had gone to the same shop earlier today. He'd found his kind of book in that little shop before. But today he hadn't bought a book. Instead he'd ended up buying the box which had started the trouble.\n\n[[Back|previous()]]
Wendell pressed the lift call button and waited. And waited. Damn! It must have broken down again. He had to find another way out. \n\n[[Back|previous()]]\n<<set $bluelift to "out">>
"Do you happen to be related to Arthur Conan Doyle who wrote the Sherlock Holmes stories?"\n\nA puzzled frown creased Conan Doyle's face. "You've heard of me?"\n\n"You can't be that Conan Doyle! You'd be..." Wendell's brain caught up with his mouth. "Wait a minute. What year is it?"\n\n"1900!" the one called Machen answered.\n\n"You're not going to believe this but... I'm from the 21st century."\n\n"You're trying to make fools of us, demon!" Machen shouted.\n\n"I don't know." Conan Doyle looked thoughtful. "A man from the 21st century's no less believable than a demon or a fairy, now, is he?" He turned to Wendell. "Welcome, man of the future, if such you truly be. What else would you like to know?"\n\n[[Ask Conan Doyle a question|Question 2]]\n<<if $Yeats1 is "none">>\n[[Ask Yeats a question]]\n<<endif>>\n<<if $Machen1 is "none">>\n[[Ask Machen a question]]\n<<endif>>\n<<set $Doyle1 to "done">>\n\n\n
"I must find out more about you, before I take your test." To himself, Wendell admitted he was scared. What might these ghosts do if he failed? He should go back and question the three writers some more. If he could, he'd get hold of that magic book of Conan Doyle's.\n\nFaint echoes of the pale green light seemed to float about him as he found his way back to the room where the three men sat smoking. Machen was flicking through the pages of Conan Doyle's magic book.\n\n[[Ask more questions]]
Wendell heard a high-pitched, squeaking cry. It seemed to come from right over his head. He looked up and saw a huge bat hanging from the picture rail. With another squeak the bat spread its wings wide and launched itself into flight. It swooped towards Wendell and flew in a circle round him. Wendell flailed his arms to keep it away, almost putting out his candle. The bat went back to its perch above. \n<<if visited("Correct three")>>\nThe bat spoke. "You have answered my question. Go on your way."\n\n[[Explore further|Explore 5]]\n<<else>>\n"Wizard, I have something to offer you," it said in a voice that sounded almost human. "But if you want it, you must answer the three questions I will put to you."\n\nIt must be one of the spirits of this place, Wendell thought.\n\n[[Agree|Agree 3]]\n[[Refuse|Refuse 5]]\n<<endif>>
Wendell looked at the symbols painted on the walls with rough brushstrokes. Some were alchemical in nature, some he thought were from astrology. \n<<if visited() is 1>>\nOn the floor by his feet, something glinted in the candlelight. He picked up a small piece of metal; a narrow band of elliptical shape. As he stooped to pick it up he saw something else. Another numbered tile.<<set $metal to "got">><<set $tile11 to "11,">><<endif>>\n\nHe turned a corner and saw to his left a large door, set with a magic square.

He rounded a corner and saw, right in front of him, an enormous rat. He flinched and was about to run when the rat gave an almost human laugh. \n\n"The brave wizard!" the rat chortled. "Don't you want to hear what I have to say?" The rat's fur dissolved into shadow and its beady eyes became empty sockets. Sharp teeth grinned in its skull. \n\n"You must be one of the spirits of this place," Wendell said. He gripped the candlestick tight, determined not to show his fear.\n<<if visited("Correct one")>>\n"You have answered my question. Go on your way," the spirit said.

"Wizard, you have failed! How can you help us if your knowledge is so slight? Unless you can find the correct answer soon, you don't deserve to enter the inmost chamber!"\n\nWendell was disheartened. If only he could get to some books of magic!\n\n[[Explore further|Explore 5]]

The one who'd wanted to question Wendell grabbed the book and snapped it shut. \n\n"And let you find out how to free yourself from our ritual? I don't think so. At least, not before you've satisfied us on a few points."\n\n"Look, I'm not a demon or a fairy or anything. Like I said, I'm a student. My name's Wendell."\n\n"Mine is Conan Doyle."\n\n"Conan Doyle? Like the writer of the Sherlock Holmes stories?"\n\nA puzzled frown creased Conan Doyle's face. "You've heard of me?"\n\n"You can't be that Conan Doyle! You'd be..."

"Why did you want to conjure up a spirit?"\n\nConan Doyle looked uneasy. "I'm sorry if I've caused you any inconvenience. I just wanted to see if it could be done! I heard this old house, Mosaic Keep, was haunted, so we thought we'd try it here."\n\n"And you believe in ghosts and demons? Wouldn't Sherlock Holmes have demanded some evidence?"\n\n"Well, there are so many phenomena that just can't be explained any other way!

In front of this door was a grey van with the logo of the lift maintenance and repair company. Behind it was parked yet another white van. There didn't seem to be any men guarding this entrance. Perhaps they were waiting just inside?\n\nWendell peeked through the glass pane in the door. He couldn't see anyone except a man in the grey overalls of a lift engineer.\n\n[[Go in]]\n[[Hesitate]]
You have finished Labyrinth Tower, part one of Wendelflame. \n\nPart two will be called Philosopher's Glass. Wendell will make progress at learning magic and fight a magician's duel. He will find the philosopher Augustus Cornelius who is trapped by an enchantment and try to release him. Will he succeed? That's up to you!\n\nWendelflame is a story from the world of the [[Swords of Elyx series|http://www.swordsofelyx.uk]] by Susan Bartholomew. The books are set in medieval England and tell a tale of heroes, demons and magicians both good and evil.

"Ah! I can see you know something of faeries." She smiled and her eyes glinted green. "Wizard, I'm going to tell you a story and ask for your help. I didn't want to tell you of my troubles if you would laugh and not believe me. Can I trust you to hear my tale and give it sincere consideration?"\n\n"I've had some very strange things happen to me lately," Wendell said. "I know if I told most of my friends, they probably wouldn't believe me."\n\n"This is a story of a demon lord, a magic casket and an enchanted philosopher. If you listen, it may help to explain how you got here. I can't give you any proof that it really happened - only my word."\n<<if $Doyle2 is "done">>\nWendell laughed.

The third man got off his chair and bowed before Wendell.\n\n"Forgive us, mighty lord," he pleaded. "We didn't know what we were doing. We were told this house was haunted and merely tried to summon one of its spirits."\n\nWas it these men who had brought him here or was it the mysterious box? Wendell determined to find out more.\n\n"Who are you?" he asked.\n\n"My name is Yeats. I'm a poet, I'm Irish. All my life I've heard legends of your people! But even in my dreams I never believed some day I'd meet one."\n\nWendell had vague memories of learning about a poet called Yeats at school. But hadn't he died some time ago?\n\n"And who are these others?"\n\n"This is Arthur Machen, and the other is Arthur Conan Doyle. Both writers, and both, like me, seekers after spiritual truths."\n\nHe'd never heard of Arthur Machen. But Arthur Conan Doyle!\n\n[[Ask Yeats a question]]\n[[Ask Machen a question]]\n[[Ask Conan Doyle a question]]\n\n
Nothing happened. He tried to prise the lid open but it stayed as firmly closed as ever.\n\n[[Turn the star symbol]]
"Ok, you've got me here." Wendell sighed. "I don't suppose you've got a clue how to send me back?"\n\nThe three men looked at each other. "We hadn't thought that far ahead," Conan Doyle admitted.\n\n"Can't you get yourself back?" Machen asked with a worried frown. \n\nYeats took off his spectacles and wiped them with his handkerchief. "I've an idea," he said as he put them back on. "You could ask the sprits of the house if they can help you. I suppose you know how to summon them?"\n\nMachen brightened. "They may come to you. Your appearance here must have been noticed in the spirit world."\n\n"If you explore the old parts of the house, they may appear to you," Conan Doyle agreed.\n\n"A locked door separates us from the ancient rooms. We haven't been able to get past it," Machen added. "I hope the spirits let you in!"\n\n[[Explore the house]]\n[[Ask more questions]]

His spirit sank as he approached the next exit door. What were the chances they had left this way out unguarded? Vanishingly small.\n\nThrough the glass panel he glimpsed a white van outside. \n\nThen he heard a voice.\n\n"I'm still at the foot of the stairs, Boss. No, the lift's not fixed yet, he can't get past me that way."\n\nIf there was only one man on the stairs, would he be able to run past him to the door?

But before he reached the door that would take him to safety he stopped. Through the glass panel he could see a white van, with two large men leaning against it.

Wendell turned the pages. At last he saw something he thought might help. \n\n"Angels fought three great battles in medieval times. The defence of St Mary's church was a decisive victory for the angelic host. The taking of Ygerna's Tower saw them triumph over their enemies. But their greatest victory was the battle of the Holy Mountain, which lasted for a night and a day.

As Wendell walked towards the entrance, he noticed a car parked just outside, next to a white van. He'd seen that car before. It was bright blue and looked new and expensive - very distinctive. He remembered seeing it before, outside the antique shop where he'd bought the magic box. Could the car's owner have been looking for the box himself, and now come here to get it from Wendell? The man who ran the bookshop knew where Wendell lived; he'd delivered some books here.\n\nAs he got closer he saw two burly men blocking the doorway. Luckily they were facing the door and hadn't seen him yet. \n\nHe'd better get in through one of the other doors.\n\n[[Go right|Red door]]\n[[Go left|Blue door]]

But as he reached the door to the stairs, he heard a voice.\n\n"Hi Boss. Yes, I'm still here, right at the bottom of the stairs." There was a pause. "No, the lift's not fixed yet.

He started up the stairs. By the time he got to the [[fourth floor|Stairs R4]] he wished he'd taken the lift. He wasn't out of breath or anything, but it would've been quicker.
"Wizard, you have failed." The ghostly figure frowned. "I will not help you unless you first help us, and from your answer I see you will not be of any use."\n\n"No! Please! Give me one more chance," Wendell implored.\n\n"Very well. I'll ask [[the question again|previous()]]."\n\n

Wendell lit his candle once more and returned to the dark corridors. He saw no spirits as he walked to the door of Jupiter and went through into a gloomy gallery that stretched to [[right]] and [[left]]. It seemed lonely, now, without the lady of the pale green light.
He heard echoing footsteps running up. For a second he stood frozen. Then he turned to run back up. Too late!\n\n"Stop or we shoot!" came a shout from below.

Down below him two burly men were waiting outside the exit door. They were leaning on a white van parked right outside. He didn't get the feeling they were here to make a delivery. \n\nHe walked to another corner and looked down. He could see another white van parked opposite the exit, next to the bright blue car he had noticed earlier outside the antique shop. Two men stood blocking the doorway. \n\nHe hurried to where he could see what was going on outside the third exit. In front of the door was a grey van with the logo of the lift maintenance and repair company. Behind it was yet another white van. He couldn't see two threatening hulks lying in wait for him. Could they be inside the building?\n\n[[Go back down|Stairs R9]]
The pattern on the door already had a tile with the number 13. Wendell thought he wouldn't need this tile to make the pattern complete.\n\n[[Back|previous()]]
That's not such a good idea! The thugs are almost sure to be hanging about.\n\n[[Back|previous()]]

He saw the car he'd noticed outside the antique shop earlier. The antique shop where he'd bought the mysterious box. The car probably belonged to the three men who'd come in just as he was going out. Could they have come after him? What could they possibly want?\n\n[[Stay in your flat and try to open the box|Wait]]\n[[Take the box and leave|Go out]]
<<set $tile12 to "">>\n\nSuccess! The tile slotted easily into its space. \n\n[[Place the next tile|Select empty 4]]
As he came near the door he spotted two men leaning on a white van parked just outside. They looked like cats watching a mousehole, waiting to pounce on anyone who came out. \n\nTaking care not to attract their attention, he walked round to the [[next door|Blue door]].
It was a large square room with only one way in or out; the door by which he had just entered. There were no windows, just a round glass skylight in the centre of the high ceiling. Pale moonlight shone through, but even this was enough to show Wendell what lay before him. \n\nThe entire floor of the room was composed of small tiles of irregular shape and varying colour; the mosaic that gave the ancient house its name. The rays of the moon fell on the depicted shapes of ancient standing stones, an old magus with a white beard, a furnace filled with flame. At the four corners were the four symbols he recognised from his box: sun, moon, planet, star. And at the centre was an image that filled Wendell with horror as he stared unbelieving at its horned and clawed shape. \n\n"That's the thing that was hunting me," he hissed.\n\n"Then at least you know your enemy, Wizard." The voice came from behind him. He turned to see the spirit in female form glide through the door, surrounded as always by a glow of pale green light. With her came a large black dog - or was it a wolf?\n\n"We have a worthy champion at last!" she continued. "Wizard, it is time for you to hear a tale of long ago. And then you must decide if you will help us."\n\n"Against that monster?" He looked at the picture on the floor and shuddered. "If I'm ever to go home, I think I'll have to."\n\n[[The end.]]\n
"There are other beings once respected and feared, now treated with laughter and scorn. Do you believe in faeries, Wizard?"\n\nFairies? Those little winged things from children's books? But perhaps that was not quite what she meant. Wendell knew from his reading that the faeries of old had been powerful magical beings.\n<<if $Yeats1 is "done">>\nWendell quoted [[Yeats' verse|third question]].\n\t"And if any gaze on our rushing band,\n\tWe come between him and the deed of his hand,\n\tWe come between him and the hope of his heart."\n<<endif>>\n"No, of course I [[don't believe in fairies|No deal]]. I'm not a child!"\n"I know they were once believed to be strong [[spirits of the natural world|Go back]]."\n
"I'd like to know more about that magic book. May I see it?"\n\nAfter a nod from Conan Doyle, Machen handed the book to Wendell. It had an old, scratched, brown leather cover. The lettering on the cover was worn away and impossible to read. Wendell looked at the title page. "The Magic of Demons, by Augustus Cornelius," he read. \n\n"Please could I borrow this?" he asked. "I've spoken with one of the spirits. I don't want to make a deal with them until I know more about them."\n\n"You've got past the door to the inner chambers!" Conan Doyle exclaimed. "That's more than the three of us together could manage. Yes, by all means take the book."\n\nWendell sat down and skimmed through the pages about ghosts in old houses and enchanted doors. After half an hour or so he closed the book. He felt much more confident about facing the spirit again. Taking the book with him, he lit his candle once more and returned to the dark corridors.\n<<if $sq4 is "none">>\nAgain, as he entered the room of green light, the candle flickered out. "Well, Wizard, are you ready to take the test?"\n\n"I am," Wendell replied.\n\n"Then here's the [[first question]]."<<endif>>\n<<if $sq4 is "done">>\nHe saw no spirits as he walked to the door of Jupiter and went through into a gloomy gallery that stretched to [[right]] and [[left]]. It seemed lonely, now, without the lady of the pale green light.<<endif>>\n<<set $demonbook to"got">>
"No! I've had enough of answering questions."\n\n"Very well, Wizard, please yourself! But if you don't take what I can give you, you'll never get to the inmost room."\n\nThe spirit vanished. Wendell could see the corridor came to a dead end. \n\n[[Explore further|Explore 5]]
He found himself in another empty gallery. As before there were symbols on the walls, but these seemed partly erased and in some places blacked out by scorch marks, as if fire had eaten its way between the walls. \n\nShould he go [[right|right2]] or [[left|left4]]?
Wendell took the tall black candle from the table to light his way as he wandered down a gloomy corridor to the old wing. His foot struck something and he picked it up. It was a square tile with a number carved into it.<<set $tile12 to "12,">>\n\nThe corridor branched to right and left.

"Were you trying to summon a powerful faery?"\n\n"No, we had hoped to see some of the spirits that haunt this old house, and perhaps learn some secrets of the life that waits for us when our life here ends."\n\n"Have you written anything about the Tuatha de Danann?"\n\n"This is from my poem, The Hosting of the Sidhe.\n\tEmpty your heart of its mortal dream.\n\tThe winds awaken, the leaves whirl round,\n\tOur cheeks are pale, our hair is unbound,\n\tOur breasts are heaving, our eyes are agleam,\n\tOur arms are waving, our lips are apart;\n\tAnd if any gaze on our rushing band,\n\tWe come between him and the deed of his hand,\n\tWe come between him and the hope of his heart."\n<<if $Doyle1 is "none" and $Doyle2 is "none">>\n[[Ask Conan Doyle a question]]\n<<endif>>\n<<if $Doyle1 is "done" and $Doyle2 is "none">>\n[[Ask Conan Doyle a question|Question 2]]\n<<endif>>\n<<if $Machen1 is "none">>\n[[Ask Machen a question]]\n<<endif>>\n<<if $sq3 is "none">>\n[[Ask them to send you back]]\n<<endif>><<if $sq3 is "done">>\n[[I have more questions]]\n<<endif>>\n<<set $Yeats1 to "done">>\n
He found a page that seemed to have what he was looking for. \n\n"And this is how you shall know the race of demonkind. For their skin is covered over by scales, like to that of a serpent. Their heads are like skulls, not rounded well with flesh, but narrow and growing to a pointed snout in front. And upon the tops of their heads some grow horns like those of a goat or a rhinoceros, and some have a bony crest that protrudes from the top of their skull. But the surest way to tell a demon is by the colour of their eyes, which is a flaming red, and however they may disguise their bodies, their eyes may not be disguised so completely. So that, when the demon is forced to appear in the brightness of the midday sun, whatever shape or form he may have assumed to deceive you, the red of his eyes will reveal the true nature of his being."\n\nNow he could [[answer the question|Answer 1]].
Cautiously he approached the next entrance door and sidled up to where he could see through the glass. Two bulky men stood blocking his exit.\n\nThere was still [[one door|Go right]] he hadn't tried.
By the flickering light of his candle Wendell could see strange symbols painted on the walls. He thought he recognised some of them from the books of ancient magic he had read. \n\nHe turned a corner and found an [[open door|right1]] leading to the right.
"First, before I begin the tale, I should show you the picture in the inmost room, laid out on the floor in tiles of many colours. But I will need your help! There are two doors that block your way.
