Eighth Interlude - Part Three

The smoke thickens and expands, curling its way into the room while never quite breaching the bright light border. She covers her mouth with her hand, worried she might choke on the fumes, but the smoke doesn't actually stray beyond its frame. Instead it simply fills the rectangle of light, darkening and thickening as it does.

Still, she's concerned for her safety, so she backs away, getting as far from the cloud as she can. So busy is she trying to keep a safe distance that she doesn't notice a figure moving through the mist. When she does, she gasps. An action that brings with it the realization that the smoke is benign, but now she's more worried about the hooded figure coming towards her.

“Just breath,” a deep voice rumbles at her, “You are in no danger. You have nothing to fear here.”

“Who are you?” she demands.

“All in good time,” the voice comes again, “Please, make yourself comfortable.”


A second figure appears in the gloom. “Yes, have a seat,” a second voice grinds, “We have some questions.”
