"An eerie and foreboding scene"

Coming from a pitiful existence, a man of grief for much of his life, has come guided by a great fire, so large and so bright that to look at it was near to causing blindness, whether by its light of the heat from the flames. By coming near the fire a sensed strange lack of belonging came over him, he felt as if he had ceased to belong to his own past.

Greatly admiring the fire and his feelings, he reached his hands forward trying to feel the heat but gain some view into the fire by blocking some of the glare. Anguish and angered memories flowed through him, as if he would decide to deny his past and wish for a wholly new future, even a new self. Elated feelings envelope him, his opinion of self-rises, what sins, wrongs, and foolish times seemed to vanish, in his essence he felt suddenly as one renewed.

Eyes meet, he looking into the fire note that other eyes are then watching him. He thought he was alone there by this strange and possible scared of a fire, but he is not alone. There in and around the fire stands some in the harsh shadows, as one-creature stands close to the opposite side of the great fire. Feeling as if the will of the creature is seeking to control him, he is wary of this and unsure what to do.

Visions, dreams, the whole of this experience are doing something to him. For as lonely is the night, the stars above seem suddenly to be as if friends, the hearing of strange and an alluring tune of simplistic music comes to his ears, and he listens intently wanting to hear more.

A passing moment of indecision, he turns and gives a casted look to his house and the lights burning there as if it and his existence there were calling him to come back to who and of what he was and is known to family and friends. He decides to follow an alluring new feeling, as if it has an offer of great good and enhancement of joy to guide his life.

The musical tone carried upon the soft wind, the heat and brilliance still coming from the fire, it has a deeper meaning then to him. Fearing this place is as hallowed and or holy, he drops to his knees to show all his humility and give honor to the place and they who stand there too, all watching.

Coming from the blazing dark shadows is a dark silhouette, the creature with dark alluring eyes approaches, he has for this man an offer he should not refuse as it shall never come his way again. Fearful of the creature, it be not man or beast but a blend of both, it comes close, speaking words to remain calm, and to show reverence for the fire. It approaches as does then dozens more of they like him coming to surround and give too of what shall come to pass on this a wondrous night when dreams are realized.
