The gatekeeper should be finished with his merciless destruction now, unless he was talking to us in the void while simultaneously slaughtering heroes. Which seems like a possibility with that guy. Either way, might as well check.
You are now the Gatekeeper.
You are taking a break on the battlements again, watching the world. It could be such a good world, after all, if there was more free agency.
Not that you know much about that.
You consider the matter of that goblin who appeared in the Other Place while you were fighting the heroes.
How did he get in there? The Other Place has been abandoned for years, ever since the old king, his family and all his wizards were assassinated, leaving the throne to inherit to a minor lord.
(You find it easier to pretend to yourself that the new King didn't kill them all because there's no proof and it hurts to be following the valid, legal, orders of someone you can't prove did it)
If it wasn't for the fact that they were killed in a variety of unpleasant ways, you'd assume he was a survivor. But any survivors would have come to the attention of the kingdom long before. It's been more than a decade, and there was nearly an open rebellion in the second year.
You suppose they might be there again, but they vanished pretty fast when you over-reacted before.
There's only one thing you're sure of, in your strange way, as you sit on the battlements.
Best view in Äbar.
