The atmosphere in the Crossroads congeals, thick with a cloying, golden terror. You've just concealed the warning tome, your mind cracking under the assault of infinite, unwanted understanding. A cruel headache drums against your skull. Then—a dry, drawn-out creak. The door swings open. He is there, impossibly tall and shrouded in tattered robes of faded yellow, his featureless golden mask throwing back only a distorted reflection of your own fear. He does not speak. He merely waits, his silence a palpable command to turn and face him. The sole route forward lies through the mercy of his gaze.
