me myself and I
the hall was lit by the burning torches that lined the walls, at the end an open door into what seemed to be a dinner room. As I walked my footsteps echoed to the point that it seemed like I was being followed. The dining room was dim for the only light came from the candles placed on the long wooden table. At the far side the Knight sat with his horned helm placed next to him, the Beast stood next to him calm and collected like I had never seen before. "we have something we need to speak of, please sit" the Knight held out his hand to point out the chair in front of me, is slid back to let me sit on its own as if he moved it with his mind. "how is he so calm Dark One, what did you do to him?" I sat placing my hand on my chains...just in case. "we are in agreement on something for once. I never thought it possible myself but as you can see." the Beast bowed to me and what seemed to be a snarl came from his mouth "John, its about the girl." my grip tightened on my chains "what about her?" the Knight then stood picking his helm up from the table. "for some reason that we can not understand she brings the best out in all three of us, you know this to be true." at this point I let my chain go and looked the Knight in the eyes. I had never seen such a peace in them, it seemed like the lust for disorder and chaos had left him. "I know but what does that have to do with anything?" the Beast began to walk on the one side of the table towards me while the Knight walked the other. "you see the two of us have decided something. If you allow this to fail, if in any way you find a way to destroy it..." the Beast now grinned a twisted smile and released its claws. He came so close to me that I could feel his warm breath slip through his teeth as a deep growl seemed to rise from the pit of his being. "if you end this...we will end you" the Knight then put the helmet on and drew his blade. "don't let that happen." I woke up in a cold sweat...I welcome death, I fear nothing, I am not one to back down for anything...I have never been so terrified in my life....
