A gentle hissing whisper came from the side of the stage, and an alien creature that introduced itself as "Shigganeth" floated to the centre, speaking of it's District. "Pursuit of knowledge, hmm?

When the crowd went dead silent, the illusion snapped around him and he realized exactly where he was. His heart began to pound and beaded on his brow. His bracelet began to writhe and twist around his arm like a living thing.
