The goat head wasn't there.
It was a scene even more inconceivable than that absurd and bizarre Dreamscape!
Duncan stood at the door, stunned for a long while, before he slowly came to his senses and drew the sword at his waist, moving forward with a vigilant stance.
The goat head was indeed missing; only sea charts and a few miscellaneous items were placed on the familiar navigation desk, and the spot where the goat head should have been was just an empty tabletop.
Duncan stared at the empty tabletop for a few seconds before slowly withdrawing his gaze and then lifting his head to look around.
More discordant scenes came into view.
