He rapidly spun. Facing him was the one person he had wanted to see since he started his voyage. "So you've come", he repeated.
"Yes, well, I had to, considering the circumstances, b-but anyway, I got what you wanted me to find." he said. They stood there looking at each other for a short time, then, the other person broke the silence. "Your name?", he asked. "My real name is Alfonso, though you can call me fed". At this point, fed was positively awed. His companion had white, tight skin, and his brown eyes seemed to see past him rather than to him. He was wearing a black type of robe, hiding every other part of his body.
"Right fed, well, I'm surprised indeed that you made it this far. But, this is only the beginning of the real test. Do you see that man?"- he motioned to the dead man on the sofa-"He got here as you did. But he did not pass my test. And this is only the beginning." With those words, he turned and started walking to the door. He stopped, because fed could not move yet. He was too scared. "Aren't you going to follow?". Fed followed him cautiously, almost as if he were to suddenly stop and attack him. They got out of the room and started walking towards the back of the house. fed thought they were heading for the last room, but he was wrong. The other one had stopped in front of a mirror. He began to mutter some things fed could not hear... Just when fed had began to wonder what would he be doing, the mirror broke, and tiny little pieces of death emerged from it. He had instinctively crouched with his arms over his head, trying to protect himself. Meanwhile, the other one trusted forward his arm, and disappeared into the depths of the mirror.
