You are on a pathway through a dark and desolate landscape. Just ahead of you is a male demon figure holding a birdcage containing a small animal that's not quite human. The way is blocked by a huge winged angel reaching for the cage because the demon is not allowed to have the being it holds. From the distant upper right an overseeing eye observes this happening.
