The elevator hummed as its descent continued, for around two minutes the group stood quiet, and anticipating the moment when the doors would open again.
A beep came from the control panel in the wall. Lukas walked towards it, and carefully typed a few numbers in, and pushed a button, the doors instantly responded by opening wide, to reveal the room they were to enter.
It was an odd room; you could not see any concrete on the walls, only screens. Screens plastered the walls, constantly flashing images. The images varied, and changed every second or so; there were faces, to guns, to animals, to paintings, to silent clips of films forgotten. These images compiled together from all of the screens, to form a sort of collage of information and art. The floors were the same black marble as that of the elevator.
A chill broke through into all of the group?s bodies; the room was cold, both literally and in its atmosphere. The group followed Lukas towards a desk in the centre of the room.
The desk from afar seemed unoccupied, but as they drew closer, they saw it was not. Behind the black desk, there was a shape sitting behind it. At first the group thought it might of been a shadow, but they soon saw it was not. It sat still, like a statue, but they knew it had eyes, they felt it pierce them from afar. The shadow soon gained form as they approached, as they approached, they saw it was a mere person.
They saw the person breathing, and they saw its hands on the desk (Although the gloves it was wearing did not give anything away). As the approached they noticed the screens of the room flickering their cycle of images were casting light on them, but the person at the table wasn?t, they were completely covered by shadows, shadows of no origin, and of no end.
The party could not see the person?s face, nor its clothes. They simply saw its form.
As Lukas approached, the shadowed person beckoned him and the party to sit on some chairs near the desk. The person did not wait for them to comply, it simply began.
Its voice came, and that voice gave nothing away of the person, apart from their masculinity. The person barely moved as it spoke. Its voice was deep, brisk, calm, and slow. It was an odd voice; it was beautiful, yet scary. It invoked so many emotions, yet it could not be described. The only description of it would be to say it was the voice of a God.
?I apologise for my men?s rough-handedness, and I also apologise for the circumstances. Unfortunately I cannot undo what has been done, but there is still the future to change... Hm?? The person made a movement of its hand towards the group, ?I understand you may have questions, and personal requests... So you may ask. I will be able to answer, and probably fulfil anything you ask myself.?
