10. GUARDIAN OF THE ABYSS
At a strange Satanic ceremony, a young woman is forced to stare into a looking glass. She sees the image of a demonlike creature, which sends her into a frenzy and causes her to repeatedly strike her head on a stone pillar.
The master of the Satanic cult wants to try again, and this time he chooses another girl, Allison. Allison flees the building and evades the members of the cult by hiding behind a bush.
Meanwhile at an auction, Laura Stephens, accompanied by her fellow antique dealer Michael Roberts, bids on some items in a box once owned by a late Earl. Going outside and looking inside the box, she spots a mirror exactly like the one used in the Satanic ritual. Another dealer, Simon andrews, looks at the mirror and starts to offer her successively higher bids for the object. Getting suspicious, Michael offers to get the mirror appraised for Laura.
While driving along michael looks into the mirror lying on the passenger seat. It clouds over and Michael goes into a strange trance. At the same time Allison, who is still trying to evade capture, also goes into a trance. She eventually runs in front of Michael's car. She asks for Michael's help, and she gets into the car.
Michael: Who are you running away from?
Allison: Just some people who want me to do something I don't want to do.
Michael takes Allison to his house. She spots the mirror and says that she can feel an enormous power emanating from it. She tells Michael that it is a scrying glass, perhaps made by the late astrologer John Dee. She tells him that the Chorozon Society would pay a lot of money for it. While Michael is not looking Allison disappears with the glass.
The next day Michael arrives at Laura's antique shop and tells her what has happened. He explains that he will track Allison down and get the scrying glass back.
He then goes to Simon Andrews antique shop and manages to find out that the Chorozon Society is the client that wants the glass.
Michael does some research on the subject of Chorozon, and he finds that he is the guardian of the abyss. Many people have tried and failed to summon Chorozon up. He finds that in order to make Chorozon flesh, the human subject must be born on the solstice, be in possession of the scrying glass, and go to the place of invocation eagerly.
The master of the Chorozon Society, Charles Randolph, again tries to contact Allison through the scrying glass and is successful. Frightened, she takes the glass back to Michael.
Charles Randolph performs a ceremony in which he brings two voodoo dolls together over a scrying glass. Simultaneously, Michael and Allison are brought together in a clinch. That night Michael and Allison sleep together.
Later, Charles Randolph performs another ceremony using a sacrificial chicken and a dagger. He picks up a dagger with the female doll and stabs at the male doll. At the same time Allison attempts to stab Michael while he is lying in bed. Just in time, he leaps out of bed and breaks Allison from her trance.
Will the Chorozon Society stop at nothing to obtain Allison and the scrying glass, or will Michael be able to thwart their black magic attacks?
