Hall of Infinite Doors

"Of course not!" you snap. "He is a part of the group, and an extra fighter is not a burden."

"Ye are wise, O lord." Sigord smiles slightly and nods his head. He then walks over to the fire, grabs his drink, and sits down.

You are very tired; the warriors and the fire soon turn into shapeless blobs as your eyes move out of focus. You try to find a comfortable place to lie, though it is nearly impossible with all the bones sticking up everwhere. Sleep soon overtakes you nevertheless.

A massive black shape stands right in front of you. You immediately feel cold, hollow and alone. Those two eyes, those fiery, burning eyes stare without blinking, burrowing themselves like nails through your skin. The creature seems to have the likeness of a demon.

You call out for help, or at least you try, but some magic seems to hold on to the words you wish to speak and not let them go. You can see the warriors lying drunk around the fire, not having the slightest clue about anything. There would be no way you could wake them up; even if you could scream and shout, they would not wake from their drunken slumber.

The creature stares.

"Leave me alone," you attempt to say. The creature seems to hear you.

-I'm going to kill you- the monster's voice reverberates throughout your mind.

"Why?"

-I'm going to kill, kill, kill all of them, you see, and you; you I will kill hard and slow-

"Leave us alone." you croak as you strain your voice to shout.

"This band of men will be wasted by my power whether they come to find me or not. They and the rest will die, die, die away. I will devour them and that alone shall not satisfy my voracious hunger. I will swallow them and crush them in my teeth; I will make them suffer in the acid of my stomach-- they will burn and scream and gnash in wonderful agony. I will love them as they suffer for I hate them so-

You listen, horrified, as the terrible monster continues to speak.

-I know you do not belong here; you would never have come if you knew what I have in store for you--oh yes... you have power here and I will use you. I will kill what's inside of you and use you until you are nothing but a hollow beast, an object for me-

"Leave me alone." you cry.

-I will never leave you-

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" you finally scream out. The effort causes blood to spray from your throat as if a blockage inside was ripped apart.

-I WILL NEVEER LEEAVE YOOUU!- the monster howls and fire bursts forth from his black skin. The fire explodes into you and consumes you.
