When the darkness vanished, Teo saw it again. A woman with long black hair. It was the Princess, he could recognize her from afar. But the person he saw looked slightly older, she was beaten and bloody.
A swarm of vultures swooped down and picked at her skin.
They clawed at her legs, his neck, and his face - anywhere they could reach until there was nothing left.
The place turned black once again and several masks covered the place, with expressions filled with mockery. As a single mask went up to him, with a huge twisted grin.
"You're so transparent. That persons real nature, that person's real nature…"
All the masks slowly drew closer and closer to him.
"It's your fault that--"
"It's your fault."
"Your fault.."
Teo awoke in a cold sweat, and breathed heavily. He pressed his hand to his damp forehead, eyes wide. Tears streamed down his cheek- tears he knew he hadn't cried on his own.
