Gateway to oblivion

from HDK 70 † The fortress of Kruglach by GNOLL

/

lyrics

You go through into another tunnel, which heads South, then West and leads you to a large black door. There is something foreboding about its utter blackness. It reflects no light and looks more like a gateway into oblivion than any solid door of earthly material. You came here to find Kruglach, and he is surely not far beyond this door. Holding your sword before you, you reach out to open the door...
The door is deathly cold to your touch, and so smooth you can hardly feel it. As your fingers explore its icy surface, your hand begins to sink slowly into the blackness and the door gradually fades away before your eyes. You step through the revealed opening and enter a small, dark cave, the walls of which are hewn from glistening black rock. It is lit by two deep red flames that flicker smokily upon slender pedestals, set at opposite ends of the cave. In contrast to the tough rock walls, the floor of the cave is as smooth and as clear as ice – but ice that is the colour of the sky at midnight, filled with a thousand twinkling, blood-red stars, reflections of the light from the smoky torches. Standing motionless between the two flames is a tall figure, dressed in robes of black silk. His dark head is slightly bowed, looking away from the doorway, and he appears to be in deep concentration. One hand is raised a little, and as you stand silently in the doorway, studying him, he slowly lowers his hand and turns to face you. This, you realize, is Kruglach. He is a striking figure, with darkly handsome features, framed by jet black hair. A small smile twists the corner of his mouth, but he gazes at you with eyes that are of the same unfathomable blackness as the door to his lair. You must act quickly.
