Azriel placed a hand on her mouth. She was sure that something very bad was going to happen but she decided to wait. The Shamam looked at her sadly and said, "Azriel the world is never black and white. It is always grey. You must understand what I am about to show you is not to make you hate anyone, but to realize that there are consequences to all actions."

"Who are we to decide what is real and what is not?" asked the Shamam with a twinkle in his eye.

Azriel smiled back at him and said, "I do not know Shamam. In the real world, you are no more and I am bound to a rack, moments of my life are probably seeping away as we speak."
