"This venom will induce that which is hidden from you."

Margot said as she approached Arthur with the concoction she had been working on for the past few days.

"It will show you things you do not wish to see."

She warned.

I'm sensing a theme here.

He thought bitterly.

"But you'll need its protection. Hold my hand."

Margot held out her hand for Arthur's.

He apprehensively put his hand in the mages. Watching her closely.

She started whispering a spell or incantation and a snake emerged from her sleeve.

Arthur jumped in surprise.

"I don't like snakes."

He muttered as he shivered from the sensation of the snake slithering across his shoulders.

"No one likes snakes."

Margot said but she hesitated for a moment.

Except Renly perhaps.

She thought to herself.

The snake wound itself around Arthur's throat.

It fell still for a moment.

And then it bit into his flesh.

The world immediately became filled with flashes and nightmares.

"Stay with me."

A voice echoed inside his head but it did not belong to the mage before him, it belonged to Renly.

Arthur opened his eyes and was immediately faced with Margot.

"Stay with me."

She repeated.

"You will feel it for a few hours."

Margot's voice sounded distorted as she spoke to him.

She put her hand on the side of his neck checking the bite.

Arthur felt like he had been sent back into the Darklands, only this time while drunk off his arse.

He shook his head trying to clear it of the haze that seemed to fill his mind.

The crew led him carefully towards his horse, helping him situate himself in the saddle.

"You need to focus on what's real, everything that seems impossible, is."
