A Ritual of Pages and Knives
by NostraDeLaPeste

A man sits in his study, tired and weary. Notes of research strewn about him. books, papers, and scraps. A man looms behind him, a beast of a being who the notes only refer to as "Mr. Knives." at least the ones that still make coherent sense. The large man leans in. He's come to claim his knife, and the fool that dared to call him forth with it. When the hand falls on his head, the man lets his eyes close. He's finally done with this foolish quest and ancient rituals. The end would tell him if the pursuit of knowledge was worth it, or he'd wasted his time, life, and soul on a Faustian bargain.
