You know... for every time the number 1 is used, there's a constant reference to "creature(s)". And yet, I think it's this same creature who might be the one spared the coldness of death, not the long-ago king, for the third sign says that it's the creature who 1 a 2nd life. Hmmm, that makes me think that that strange man's brain or remaining life essence is behind Door 2 and whatever captives originally worked alongside the long-ago king and/or elephants in peace are behind Door 1. What do you say Scooter? If we go down Door 1, we might find Skeeter or the kookazsas, or even... nah, forget it, just a thought from my friends back on Sesame Street. And then again, if we go down Door 2 after Animal, if he hasn't come back yet, we might find that strange man and convince him to set everyone free.
