Dark could feel the presence, as ever accompanied by the scent of the pyre and the crackling of flame. Then, it was gone. The shadowy presence that had been building in his head for days withdrew. Dark knew better than to think it had gone for good, no, it had merely withdrawn to whatever dark recess of his mind in which it lurked.The Rynnish man gave a wracking sob, drawing in a long heaving breath and opened eyes screwed tightly shut. As his lids peeled back, he was assailed by sight, sound an smell. He stood amidst a thronging crowd of diminutive folk of queer mien; they milled with random purpose within a fantastic tableau of market stalls, tents and stands. Lanterns, like tumescent fruit, splashed eerie light over the scene, giving it a dreamlike quality that was unlike the living dreams Dark normally inhabited. 'Gobbers,' he thought.Looking about him in bewilderment, the images of the past few days shifted in his mind’s eye like some nightmarish kaleidoscope, hinting at but never revealing their whole form. Shaking them off, Dark pulled the edges of his greatcoat closed and began to work his way towards the large, iron-bound redwood door, which he thought might be the exit from this alien place.</blockquote>
