When I finally woke, I didn't recognize my surroundings. I appeared to be in a cave of some sort; other than that, all I knew was that it was really dark and really cold. I asked that woman for a way home, and what happened after that? I was having trouble remembering? She was chanting, her eyes were glowing...I must've fainted after that, because I can't remember anything else.
Suddenly, there was a strange glow in the dark cave. But it wasn't a golden glow, similar to sunlight; no, this was an eerie, greenish glow. And there were people walking toward me.
But these weren't normal people; they were gray, and decayed-looking. I was quite scared of them, but they seemed even more scared of me. They formed a circle around me, but each one stayed at least 10 feet away. I was glad; like I said, they were frightening.
"Why are you here?" They all spoke at once. "You are alive; what business do you have in the Land of Death?"
The Land of Death? That couldn't be...did that woman send me here?
"I'm looking for answers," I said. "Is this real? Do the gods exist?"
The circle of gray people parted, and a tall man with a blindfold over his eyes stepped toward me.
"One called L," he said, speaking directly to me. Although he was gray like the rest of them, he seemed a little less decayed. "My name is Tiresias. You seek answers. Answers to questions that have plagued mankind since the dawn of time. I will try to answer them to the best of my ability. Yes, this is real. But you already suspected that, did you not? No dream could be as vivid as the people you see before you.
"Your second question is much harder to answer. I will tell you that yes, the gods do exist. However, there is little evidence for their existence. As with any religion, you need to believe in them; they will not present you with concrete proof for their existence. After this experience, you will doubtlessly believe in them. However, it will be difficult to convince anyone you tell this story to. Now go; you are alive, and thus do not belong here."
He raised his hand, similar to the way the woman had, and I fainted again.
