Blink. He awoke in a field at night, a strange creature and a fire near him, saving him from the cold. Blink. A kind old man, a bed for the night, a cave and slavery to dogs. Blink. A cave in, the surety of death and whispers in the darkness, an accord made and a deal struck. Blink. Celebrations and jubilation, reunion and forgiveness and a horrifying realization. Blink. A cart of ill-intent, arrest and flight as he was taken away with the faeries. Blink. Nights of horror, pain, and starvation, a beaten queen and a dragon of undeath. Blink. A desert, friendly folk and a minotaur, his first sight of red. Blink. Trains, the attention of the guards and a prince lost and found. Blink. A night assault, a second sight of red, an army of ghosts and a hunger that damned him. Blink. Human. Blink. Inhuman.
