"It's too much...She speaks to me, the lady-Witch! She tells me that the shadowed-men will kill me for this! I've-i've-upset some ugly people....!"

You hear the rattling of a grate nearby. It moves and opens!

"You're special...your blood can...your blood has been chosen by her! To lead humanity foward!"

A floating white blade seems to swim up from the grate! It slashes the man in the throat!

He gurgles blood; you can make sense only of this word from his death-rattle: "W-WITCH!"

The sword disappears into the grate again...
