The fear was overwhelming; his intimidating demeanor, superior attitude, and those glowing gauntlets. I was face-to-face with Swabia, the most ingenious player to ever enter the game. He looked at me over the rim of his spectacles, his face lacking any expression.
“I’m surprised to see you,” Swabia said, his face momentarily transforming to a look of shock. “I thought you’d been locked away in the Highland Tundras, like they’d planned. Do you have any recognition of what I’m talking about?”
“I’m afraid not. For some reason, I was given… amnesty.” I replied, watching him run his index finger along his right gauntlet. “Though my memory is slowly returning.”
I shivered, looking around. We were in a courtyard with some of the most bizarre conditions I’d seen yet. The moon was covered by clouds of that multicolored mist shining above us, creating a dark, sinister effect. A cold wind rustled the leaves of the raven-invested trees surrounding us, making me both shiver because of the temperature as well as in apprehension. Their beady eyes gleamed in the light of the shadowed midnight moon.
A smile tugged at the corners of Swabia’s mouth. “You’ve noticed my ravens, I see.”
Before I could reply, that persistent noise began reaching my ears again, like a desperate soul trying to rejoin the living. Swabia quickly got up, ascending the steps to the castle doors with a rapidness that matched the speed at which Corinthian can pull his scythes. He threw the doors open, “Stay here!” He yelled angrily, pulling them shut as if the huge, silver handles, burned his hands.
