Description

Something was set to guard the threshold and it has never once slept. The stihi is coiled around a stone doorway in the mountainside with fire between its teeth, and it does not want the treasure, does not eat, does not tire, and cannot be bargained with - it was given an instruction a very long time ago by someone who is certainly dead now, and it is still following it. Two people need to get through that door. One of them intends to fight it. The other has worked out what it actually is, and what the instruction was, and that is a much more dangerous idea.
