For Jonal:
Laughter echoed around the small window where the figure stood and filled the whole chamber.
"Anger and hatred? Unharnassed raw emotions. But whom do you hate, and who has angered you, Jonal? Was it this Dreamweaver? - he spat the name out. "But no, it is anger and hatred directed towards me. And is that fear that I can sense? You are unable to master your emotions, Jonal. But then, that can also be a boon."
Several moments of silence followed as the figure examined Jonal's reactions.
"You probably already guess, who I am. We shall meet, but not just yet. Patience, it seems is a virtue you have yet to master."
Suddenly the lights in the chamber dimmed, as if a shadow had come over the lights, trying to suffocate them.
"Are you ready to face your deepest fears, Jonal?" - the voice asked, and then the figure disappeared. The lights came back on, and from the darkness of the alcove the voice drifted back.
"Take him to Grigg!"
The captain of the guard looked at Jonal.
"There are two ways of doing this. Either you come quietly to meet Grigg, or we take you there. The choice is up to you."
The four guards were still standing next to Jonal, with their swords drawn ready to move at a signal from their leader.
