The milky duskiness of early morning light filtered through tall, narrow windows in the outer wall focusing on the small sitting area. In the ancient Castle Bryggja cold radiated from the stone walls warmed only near a massive stone fireplace. The ceiling arced above supported by strong, wooden beams black with age. My eyes settled on the interviewer. She was a tall woman with auburn hair pulled back in a knot at the base of her skull, now sitting across from me. I tucked a strand of my short, curly hair behind one ear.
"Tell me about yourself," she said, crossing her nylon encased legs and gently tapping a foot in the air.
"Well, I'm 17 and a junior in high school. Senior now I guess since it's summer. I love Coca-cola!" I added the last in a rush with a slight giggle. Nerves. Wooden bowls full of fading flower petals sat on wooden chests and tables placed throughout the room, filling it with the faint scent of English roses.
"I see." She smiled at me. "How did you learn about demons?"
"I began dreaming about them when I was 10. I didn't think that they were real...just dreams." I paused not quite sure what else to say. Looking at a lovely, if disturbing, oil painting of a fox, trapped at the base of a tree, surrounded by horses and hunting dogs, staring out in terror, I knew how it felt.
"And that made you think you should kill demons?"
"Well, no but when I saw the video of an old priest, I recognized him from when he'd been young in one of my dreams. So I called him...he asked for my help and I couldn't seem to help myself. I just knew I had to go to Rome."
"Was your trip to Rome a success?"
"It was...unexpected in several ways. Silver Knight explains it in detail."
"All right, then, thank you for taking the time to talk to me today. Good luck in your endeavors with demons."
I nodded, smiling in relief that it was over. I hopped up and headed out the enormous, metal-studded, double doors leading to the hall and the way out.
