Enigma
Chapter 1
Under the Graveyard by Ozzy Osbourne begins to play as the camera pans over the medieval-like town with a storm looming over. Thunder rumbles overhead as townsfolk finish up the storm preps. Only a few people are on the streets, rushing past a cloaked figure not caring. The figure walks up the hill towards the castle overlooking the town. Rain greets the town with sheets of grey. Greystone season has officially arrived, only designated townsfolk are allowed to be outside. The figure makes it to the crest of the hill, met by a statue of a headless knight on a horse surrounded by a fountain pool. As the figure reaches the castle door the music comes to an end. The figure knocks and a dwarf opens the door-window.
Dwarf: In a squeaky gruff voice Who is it.. What you want?
Figure: In a Stern voice Splot is Grimble available?
Splot: Give me a moment, I'll go check. Closes slot and footsteps fade
The figure looks back towards the town but only fog and rain had hidden the town from this focalpoint. The figure turned back as footsteps sounded again.
Splot: Slot opens Grimble is busy at the moment. Come back later. He starts to close the slot but the figure stops him
Figure: Tsk tsk tsk. If you want to live you will open this door at this moment. Don't bother getting help. I came here on business and I don't need to waste anymore of my time.
Splot: Voice shakes slightly Okay okay. Please just don't kill me!
The door opens with a loud groan, the figure steps inside and the door shuts with a thud
Figure: Good.. good. Head to your place. I don't need you anymore. I know this place like the back of my hand.
Splot runs off hurridly as the Figure heads to the throne-room. Upon entering the throne-room voices hushed.
Grimble: Loud Baritone voice echoes throughout I told Splot I am busy and no guests shall enter! Stands Who Dares Enter Without MY Permission?!
Figure: Chuckles under the cloak hood sealing the face You don't remember me Grimble? The one who remembers everyone they met. You said you always remember your trainees. Commander Grimble I over Rank you now.
Grimble lifts his eyebrow questionably
Figure: Pulls off hood to reveal a masked face with shoulder length hair and hazel eyes I am the Beholder. I believe we have unfinished business to gestures around the room at the shocked audience attend to.
Grimble:A loud gasp escapes as he clutches his chest YOU! But I FAILED you from my training. But... How.. What... He collapses back into the throne still clutching his chest
Beholder: That just made me more determined. Greystone season just started, My favorite time of the year. If you die I take your place.
Grimble: Raises his other hand Someone get the Doctor! What did You DO?!
Beholder: Gestures to the goblet to the left of the throne I had an aquintance add a concoction to your drink, just this morning. You have two days to live. Don't worry because you won't be able to find a cure in time. By the time the doctor figures out what killed you it will conclude... *Thunder rumbles and the Beholder disappeared into thin air*
