A Coal Mine. Well actually the Nephilim summoned forth by the coal abrons in the dark lusts when they unearthed somethng they shouldn't have, or maybe were led to discover it. Hard to tell. Definitely connected to the Lemurians though.

You see, it goes sort of like this:

The hills where we Beulay boys grew up -- where are kins roots are deep --are honeycombed with shafts and tunnels. The coal in those hills fueled the industrial revolution, and men have been mining there for over 150 years. Spilling their blood to feed progress and something more. Some old timers used to say there was mining even before that, though not by the hands of men. Waylan and Reese had a grandmother, now passed on, who used to scare them from playing near the old mineworks with stories of "the Ancients," who lived deep under the earth, whose mines came up from below to meet the deepest pits of the mines of men.

Sometimes after a few drinks, miners also talk about the Coal Trust like it was a living thing, a sentient and malicious deity down there in the dark that demanded tribute. Many of Waylon and Reese's people met their ends in the mine: in the war with King Coal in the 1890s, in the monstrous cave-ins of 1902 and 1911, or just in the year-after- year toll the mines took in blood and breath and lives.

Reese and Waylon's father, HomerBeulay, made the boys promise never to work in the mines. If the coal dust gets in your blood, the miners all say, you'll be trapped, you'll never get out, you'll be a miner for the rest of your days. As it turned out, working the mines was never an option for Waylon or Reese. The mines in Anderson County closed down in the late 1970s, right around the time Homer died.

Waylan and Reese saw daddy drop a hammer head (orichalka for thsoe keeping track) down the mine 27 years ago the night Reese and company came to visit. It was time to bring that hammer up, for it was needed. Descending into the mines we came head-to-head with the undead vestige of the Nome King. Who, after weirdness, we defeated and claimed the orichalka hamemr head, which Waylan will be hand- carving into an engine block.

Lots of craziness happened. ReeseBeulay lost his fool-head. Danny proved mighty courageous, and Black showed himself with a lot more gumption than Waylan had guessed. And that Mr. Sigel showed blood truly is thicker.
