QUEST 6 - THE TELL-TALE HEART

Hail the Victor of QUEST 5 .......Jacki
The Master bestows upon thee thy Badge of Honour. Fly thee hence and give the details of thy habitation to the illustrious Black Dragon, that she may bestow upon thee thy Gift.

The offerings also of these followers were also to the liking of the Master (in no apparent order).......

Yvonne, Jane, Dont be a Prude

He giveth thee also a Badge:

How then must we proceed with further tales of darkness and horror ? - How other than a tale of Guilt and how it doth yet eat away within our mind until, at last, on the edge of madness, we must give ourself away and confess all. !! 'Twas such that our next tale reveals.... "The Tell-Tale Heart".

Quote "It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but, once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye ! Yes, it was this ! He had the eye of a vulture - a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees - and very gradually - I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever" end quote Read the whole story HERE.

Thusly, the theme for thy Quest is set and again - the Master giveth thee but 14 Days to complete it

For many a thought and - with hope - some inspiration, his Minions offer you these;

QUEST 5 - ALL ENCOMPASSING DARKNESS

Ha !! Oh producers of such feline fatalities - the poor kitties portrayed in such manners - but of all, appeared to have exacted their revenge !!!
Hail the Victor of the quest...........Jane's Crafts and here is thy Badge of honour, and forthwith give details of thy habitation, that the beloved Black Dragon may bestow upon thee thy gift

The Master was also most fanciful of the offerings of these followers (in no apparent order)........

Croms

Yvonne

Susan G

and here is thy reward:

The next Quest..... Of such a gruesome thing this time we remind thee.!! The Master wrote of such....

Quote "To be buried alive is, beyond question, the most terrific of these extremes which has ever fallen to the lot of mere mortality. That it has frequently, very frequently, so fallen will scarcely be denied by those who think. The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where one ends, and where the other begins?" end quote

Fancy then, to awaken in darkness so black as to think that thine eyes are yet shut, but upon dread realisation that they are not - to have the utter desperation of thy situation become firm in thy brain. ! The Master, having written of such cases, now challenges thee to open thy imagination and produce for him an image from the dark, tormented depths of thy soul.

Alas, the grim legion of sepulchral terrors cannot be regarded as altogether fanciful-- but, like the Demons, they must sleep, or they will devour us -- they must be suffered to slumber, or we perish.

So, hurry and return 14 Days hence, whereupon the Master shall again decide the Victor. Herewith - I offer for thy inspiration - the depraved workings of his Supplicants...
