I swallow hard.

“Who are you?”

She pulls back and for the first time I can see she’s dressed like one of those geisha from the samurai movies. Incense is burning somewhere.

“I am Lilly”, her voice…a soft whisper. But as she continues, it grows louder, more firm, into that of a teacher lecturing a student…

“It has been so long. So many years have past. Everything has changed! I remember when you first began to build this city upwards…now look at it!”, her thoughts flow quickly from one to another, “But now it’s all over! My time has come again…oh, how I have waited! And what fun we are going to have…”, she lets her voice drift.

“Bring it to me,” she orders to another in the room.

“H…h…here it is, m…m..my lady,” responds the laughing man who I can see for the first time as he steps closer, handing something to Lilly. He is a small creature, human, but fitting of being called a creature. Wrinkled skin, unkempt hair…he walks with a limp. However, he is well dressed in a black suit with red tie.

Taking the object, Lilly again approaches me. Her gaze fixated with mine. But her eyes…no longer are they a gray blue, but instead, completely white!
