I stood frozen in the sacrificial chamber, my bare feet burning on the cold stone, watching the door swing wide on hinges that shrieked like dying animals.  \nBeyond the threshold lay absolute darkness. But not empty darkness. This was darkness that breathed, that pulsed with terrible awareness, that reached out with invisible fingers to taste the air between us .  \n\"So much blood in you, little prophet. \"  \nThe voice was wet and ancient. It seemed to come from everywhere bypassing my ears entirely to burrow directly into my mind.  \n\"I can taste it even here. Your familial gift. The raw power. All that beautiful, potent blood just waiting to be drunk. \"  \nI tried to run, but my feet had fused to the stone. The darkness beyond the door began to move, flowing forward like liquid shadow, and I could see shapes within it. Writhing, hungry shapes with too many teeth.  \n\"When the seals break, when the moon bleeds and the fire comes calling, I will feast on your visions. I will drink your future. I will consume everything you might have been. \"  \nThe darkness was almost upon me now, close enough that I could smell it. Rotting flowers and copper and something else, something worse that made my stomach heave with visceral horror.  \n\"Until then, dream of me . Remember what waits. Know that every vision you see, every drop of blood you spill, only brings me back that much sooner. \"  \nThe darkness touched my ankle.  \nI screamed.  \nI bolted upright in bed, my scream dying in my throat as my eyes flew open to the familiar surroundings of my bedroom.
