CHAPTER 2
You walk among the streets until they open up to a stream. Perched upon it is a stone arched bridge, and beyond, a hillside path. At it's end, is some inn.
You walk, but the bridge seems like it's crying...it's going to give up! As you are tossed side to side: you take a momentary gander at the river, just before you're about to fall....
It's you, or a person that looks exactly like you; for an arm is missing, you see, and a beautiful silver shield caresses it. You see then, an unicorn. But all soon fades...
A man with a soggy mustache looks at you. His eyes are like a pig's. He laughs and says things you cannot hear...Some women hug you and try to kiss you, and they do kiss your back, but you pull away...
A man sits next to you, with a four fingered hand. The next hand, is the same, exactly the same, like a copy of itself but mirrored. His face is of a snarling man-beast. You feel ill...A cold kiss caresses your lips...
Days go by, it seems, and you don't seem to move. Now, it's the face of Erynies, but she is old and grim, and it is not the same. Next, is a corpse, it's the face of Erynies...
You are outside caressing the stream...
They are killing the man with the weird pants...Why? His head is in a block...Blood drinks from the water...His eyes are like a pig's...
"You must come with me, Giant" an iceman? he talks as if burdened by something "Come! I will take you from here, man, for this city is soon to be razed to ash and rubble"
"Who are you?"
"I am Gurmandiir, aye, First Champion of the Heart of Ice! Wake! Your luck will not save you here!" LEAVE
