Animal fury echoed down the cold stone corridors of the
fortress. I shivered, wondering if I was destined to meet the mad creature. A prodding
from the guard resumed my step, which had been stilled by fear. The howling
grew louder as we descended into the ancient innards of the castle. When the sentinel
threw open the final door to the dungeon, the screams redoubled in intensity.
On the other side of the threshold, the only occupied cell held a man. His appearance
reminded me of the bodies I had once seen in a village that had starved to
death.
