You tell him to let her go. He turns his gaze to you, frowns and releases his grip on Trixie. He turns his horse and advances towards you. Each moment becomes more surreal, fractions at a time. Time has slowed way, way down. Everything is slow motion! You continue to gaze at the advancing "Bringer of Death" guy. The horse is huge. You can tell the horse is pissed because you see fire in his eyes. Viscose fluids pour from the nostrils. The Bringer of Death Guy however seems pleased in anticipation of your impending slaughter.

You remember the Bringer of Death guy. He is nowhere in sight. He apparently vanished. You realize he was some sort of illusion conjured up by Trixie.
