Mat feels he is being watched, but he cannot see anything. All he sees is the blackness of the dark night. He spins round, but there is nothing there.
When he turns back, there is something there. A mass of... something. It isn't black, but it suggests blackness. There is a kind of Black light emanating from it, swallowing light from around it. Mat turns to run, but the blackness is ahead as well. It surrounds him.
#do not be afraid#
The voice comes from within his head. He screams, covering his ears in a vain attempt to seal out the noise.
"GET AWAY!"
"what is wrong?"
The voice is strangely familiar, and yet unfamiliar at the same time. Mat opens his eyes and sees a face he hasn't seen in a while.
"Rettick! You're back! Where have you been?"
Rettick is expressionless.
"There is no time. We must act. Follow."
And Rettick turns towards the main road. Bemused, and more than a little afraid, Mat follows.
