Prologue


A lone guard, eighteen years of age, sat through the night on the cold stone of one of the castle’s many hallways. A single torch illuminated his prone youthful figure as he sagged against a pair of locked unadorned doors. As he waited the hallway in which he was standing seemed to grow longer and longer shutting away the soft, comforting glow of the full moon in the window at the end of the hallway. The expression on his face betrayed his thoughts.

He was alone with his imagination as master.

A few steps beyond the ring of light was fathomless darkness, hiding many hideous apparitions of the guard’s imagination. Ghastly bat-like creatures with twisted bodies, and claws that looked like they were dripping with sizzling poison. Small creatures resembling little tykes with huge liquid eyes and long, crooked fingers seemed to skip in the flickering torchlight. The guard shuddered and rubbed his eyes wishing the phantom creatures gone. When he opened them again, the beasts seemed to be mocking him. The bat opened its great maw and appeared to shriek with malicious laughter. The slinking slimy brood of undersized nightmarish creatures danced and howled with glee, opening their mouths to reveal gray gums and sharp dagger teeth. He almost screamed in terror.

One of these things was not a part of the guard’s tormented sightings; It was the creator of the frightening images. Its body was so hunched and twisted that the ghoul needed to cover its image with a large black cloak. The thing’s own thoughts turned to its intentions, trying to figure out how this scheme it was apart of would actually work.
It just had to get past those doors…

Suddenly, footsteps startled the creature out of its reverie. Bothered, it hissed a curse out of the blackness of its mouth, letting go of the guard’s thoughts, freeing him from the suffocating inkiness leaving him gasping on the cold stone floor. The thing’s shape seemed to elongate, then with barely a whisper of sound disappeared like shadows. The older man, coming to relieve his fellow soldier from his depressing watch, passed the spot where the creature had vanished and wrinkled his nose. He grabbed a fistful of his cloak and pressed it to his face trying to block out the awful odor. Pressing forward, he lurched over to the younger individual and freed him from the watch by the solemn doors.

Fleeing from the oppressive place the, boy stumbled out into the starlit night, away from the dark hallway. He gulped in the fresh air trying to calm his thoughts; thinking over and over to himself, trying to make his imagination see sense.
“They’re not real…they’re not real…They’re not real!”
