Enkabeni yokwakheka kuhlezi i-gargoyle, isimo sayo esiyingozi futhi esihle, eqoshwe phezu komgqomo omkhulu wokhuni ochichima amahops amasha. Umzimba waso ompunga ongamatshe, ohlotshiswe ngemisele nezinguzunga ezijulile, ubonakala uphila njengoba ukukhanya okusagolide kugcwala amafasitela amade, kukhanyisa izici ezicijile nezimangelengele zalesi silwane.

Ngemuva kwalesi sici esibalulekile, isitolo sotshwala siyaduma ngamandla aso athule, akhuthele. Imigqa yamabhokisi e-oki apakishwe ngokunemba kwezibalo, umumo wawo oyindilinga nezindawo ezipholishiwe okubonisa amathoni asagolide okukhanya kwantambama. Ukukhanya kwemikhumbi yokuphisa ithusi kanye noxhaxha lwamapayipi olusongayo kwakha ingemuva eliyinkimbinkimbi, okukhumbuza isibukeli ngenqubo ecophelelayo eshintsha izithako ezingavuthiwe zibe i-ale ephelile. Lokhu kuhlangana phakathi kwezwe elihlelekile lesayensi yokuphisa kanye nomuntu ongaguquliwe, onamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo we-gargoyle kuphakamisa ukulingana okuthambile phakathi kwesiyalo kanye nokuphefumulelwa okungalawuleki. Abaphisi botshwala, nakuba bengekho kulolu hlaka oluthile, bashiwo ngamathuluzi, imiphongolo, kanye nesikhala ngokwaso, izandla zabo ezingabonakali eziqondiswa amandla kokubili emvelo nangaqondakali ahlanganiswe yi-gargoyle.

Kuyisilungiselelo lapho umngcele phakathi kokwangempela nokwenganekwane ufiphalisiwe, lapho indawo yokuphisa utshwala ingabi nje indawo yokusebenza kodwa i-sanctum ye-alchemy nenganekwane.

Enhliziyweni yaso, isithombe sithwebula umoya wokuziphekela ngokwawo: ubuciko obusekelwe esikweni nokunemba, kodwa obuhlala budlala ngothando ngokuhlola, ubuciko, ngisho nokuthinta okumangalisayo. I-gargoyle, ehlezi ngokuziqhenya phezu kwendunduma yayo yama-hops, iba isingathekiso salo moya—awunakwenzeka, unesibindi, futhi mkhulu kunokuphila. Ukuba khona kwayo kushintsha indawo yesehlakalo isuke ekuvezweni okulula kwezithako futhi icutshungulwe ibe umfanekiso womlingo oqhubekayo wokuphisa, lapho iqoqo ngalinye liphethe isithembiso sokuthile okungajwayelekile. Okubizwa ngokuthi "i-Gargoyle hops" akuyona nje isithako, kodwa indaba kubo ngokwabo, isikhumbuzo sokuthi amabhiya angcono kakhulu awagcini nje ukwenziwa, kodwa ahlanganiswe, ngenhlanganisela yokubekezela, ubuciko, kanye nenganekwane encane.
