A DOOR

A ROARING FIRE

AN ELEGANT SHADOW

What is goaste? How did I get here?

I can smell your blood, child.

Please step away from me. How do you pronounce 'goaste'?

Give me your hand, and follow me as we descend this concealed staircase behind the library wall.

Wait. Who made goaste?

God made goaste, child. God made everything, remember? Heh.

It's cold. Can I make goaste?

You are going to make something for us, that's for sure.

It's dark in here, can I go now?

You are going to be my guest for a little while.

Why are your teeth like that?

Your throat is so delicate... ahhh, you are just beginning your journey, do not fight it, merely look into my eyes.

What are all those huge machines for?

The others are coming now. Time for you to sleep. You have a long journey ahead of you.

Will... huh... will I ever be the same again?

It is impossible.
