PROLOGUE
PICTURE
The lawmaster leans facing towards the entrance of the passage.
You loop the noose around his neck.
He snaps at you, shouting. He jostles you around, pressing you against the wall of the tunnel; He drags you from wall to wall. You hear glass breaking.
In a flight of frenzy he lifts the massive double-crescent atop his head, shattering the marble countertop in two. The half of the stone falls on the floor. You hear a metal clang.
He babbles something incoherent as you tighten the noose.
You feel your back move from the shelves and hit something hard. And you soon notice that he is on top of you, crushing your body!
You pull the noose backwards over your shoulder. One of his hands coils around the rope while another beats you. After some time you feel his breath slip away.
He is dead. The noose slips and disappears from your hands.
You grab the axe.
