Steam Punked Chest Plated Falcon Loving Gatekeeper

Delivered from the bowels of the ancient tombs of Pharaohs forgotten The steampunked chest plated falcon loving gatekeeper approached We were fearful of his neon green glance and psychedelic war paint. He was not your typical partygoer. It did not take a genius to see this. Dragon like feelers in a moon pattern were part of his body’s armor. Intimidated, we stopped dancing and started to look for exits. An evil eye neck plate with falcon-like attitude stopped us in our tracks. Where is Gyemaster? He asked. Voice compelled us to stay in place. We obediently allowed him to scan us with is eyes, one by one. Satisfied, he moved to an eager young giggling female freshman. She stopped moving, was dead silent now; her face glowed orange. You know him don’t you? He asked her in a hologram way. She nodded and he led her from the party as you would lead a donkey. If this had been any other guy, we would have resumed dancing. Instead we wandered off to our houses to cower and hide. Frightened by a falcon loving gatekeeper from beyond the future.
