When I opened my eyes I was immersed in a strange green liquid in a basin. The room was dark, only a feeble light penetrated in it revealing strange drawings and runes on the walls.

When I stood up my whole body felt tired and sloppy, I still got my clothing on.

“Strange is the world, isn’t it” a voice in the dark said

I turned but couldn’t see anything

“Sor-sorry?”

Something heavy moved “you did you got here? Wrong pact? Draw to much interest? Opened the wrong books?” there was a light laugh at the end

“Nothing of this sort….I was with my horse, I was just enjoying the eve-”

“Yeah, me too, just some horses and stuff.”

He felt a strong breath even though he still couldn’t see him

“Who are you?”

“I could ask you the same thing…”

The sound of metalic edges hitting the ground was heard

“What was that?”

“Poor Kleyoth, a really interesting case his”

“Why so?”

“I couldn’t tell you, he will”

An horrible breeze came into the room, distant thunders and bells were ringing

“Finally he has returned”

“Who?”

“The home owner”

A man dressed in a blue cloack wearing a raven mask came into the room and looked at him. Then he went away.

“Who was that?”

“No one, don’t ask too many questions, things end here for a reason. No one here is innocent or kind.” he moved closer revealing a mass of open flesh and guts breathing barely visible to him “not even me.” then he returned to his usual shadow.

“Wha-wha-what?!?”

“I was once a giant, an ogre if you wish, I wasn’t very disimilar to you. One day I found my-”

A bell ring, something grabbed his arm and dragged him away.

On the vast flat pascoliny giving a view of the great pillars founding on nothing there was a well dressed man.

“A drink?” the man said

“No-no thanks… why I am here?”

“Relax, I don’t want to do anything like what I did to him. He was a...particular case, the experiments on him gave great results.”

“Why I am here”

He looked at him “I wanted to talk to you, you are a lord right?”

“Yes, a high ranking noble.”

“Hmm” he paused, some distant bells begin ringing “return to your rooms, don’t listen to that thing, he lies and deceit constantly. Not about him though, about him is pretty accurate.”

“You are not the home owner?”

“Me?” he laugh “I couldn’t be it in a thousand years! Now rest, exams will begin tommorow”

He was brough to another room
