It was long and thin,
and the closer I got,
the bigger it got.
My feet quickened their pace
and my heartbeat felt like a drum.
As I approached faster and faster,
I heard a voice from the distance.
It was familiar…
Hekate
It sounded like my mother.
I wanted to run to her,
but there was only so fast
my legs could carry me.
Hekate
And then I realized
where that beam of light
was coming from.
It was the opening
between a pair of
massive granite doors.
But
before I could reach it
I heard something shift
close to me.
A soft rattle of a chain.
A sound of shuffling.
A snort, and then a low, soft growl.
As I turned my head,
I was met with six glowing red eyes
and the collective roar of three huge heads.
