THE GATEKEEPER
Colleen stepped forward to within the figure’s reach. “Excuse me, Sir Skeleton? Who exactly are you?”
As the door slammed shut, the figure reached down to touch Colleen on the forehead. She recoiled from the cold.
“Why, child, I am the Gatekeeper,” he said with a forbidding smile, though in truth his skeletal face nade it hard to tell. “You unlucky children are about to enter my world. And if you keep your wits about you, you might make it out alive.
“So welcome,” he said as the Quaice siblings’ world went black. “Welcome, my young charges, to The Maze of Games.”
