"There are many small mechanisms. I don't want us to both die in here; stay close to me." Wayne Bailey pulled her shoulder closer to him.
Wilfred placed the "Love of the Mermaid" ring on the mermaid's index finger and rotated it clockwise three times, "The young master is right. Like this ring, if you turn it in the wrong direction, or turn it one circle too few or too many... it will trigger the mechanisms of hell."
This Love of the Mermaid originally belonged to The Baileys' family heirloom, capable of opening many secret passages...
It was supposed to be gifted to Anna Jadwin to wear.
Unfortunately, since Cathy Xavier had worn it, it now turned into a wad of stinking dogshit. Anna Jadwin didn't want it, and neither did Wayne Bailey, so it was left for Wilfred to keep.
