HIGH LORD SHADE
What is it that you fear, my follower?
DISCIPLE
Many things. Failure. Loneliness. Drowning.
HIGH LORD SHADE
All perfectly natural. But do you fear the supernatural?
DISCIPLE
You mean ghosts, vampires and demons?
HIGH LORD SHADE
The very same.
DISCIPLE
Why yes. Though I have never met any of them, they are very frightening indeed!
HIGH LORD SHADE
Exactly. For none can know their origins, nor the extent of their powers until it is too late.
DISCIPLE
Master, this talk scares me!
HIGH LORD SHADE
As it should. For one must acknowledge their fears and, when they are ready, face them.
DISCIPLE
But why?
HIGH LORD SHADE
To overcome them, of course! Now stop trembling and examine these cards.
DISCIPLE
Yes Master. The imagery is frightening!
HIGH LORD SHADE
A portrayal of all things to be found during the celebration known as Halloween.
DISCIPLE
All Hallows Eve!
HIGH LORD SHADE
Excellent, my disciple.
DISCIPLE
I see werewolves and graveyards and guillotines....
HIGH LORD SHADE
Go on.
DISCIPLE
I see spiders and dungeons and lightning....
HIGH LORD SHADE
Yes, and?
DISCIPLE
I see ghost ships and coffins and scarecrows!
HIGH LORD SHADE
And how do you feel?
DISCIPLE
Fascinated! The artwork is exquisite!
HIGH LORD SHADE
Indeed.
DISCIPLE
Is this a game?
HIGH LORD SHADE
Yes, a simple one where it can be enjoyable to scare yourself and others.
DISCIPLE
Master, I am no longer afraid of these things!
HIGH LORD SHADE
Good. See how easy that was?
