He hissed as the girl stood before him, lowering his head in acknowledgement that she had won. For now at least, his mind thrashed, hoping to gain more power to hopefully grab her should she return one day. So he stood, his sharp teeth slowing their circular rotation until they stopped – waiting for her words. He still couldn’t see her, but he could sense the fact that she hadn’t left just yet. And as if his mind was beginning to deceive him in thinking she had, she spoke at last.
She began to ask him, stuttering like a small child. He huffed slightly, a dark laugh of some sort that this was who had beaten him today – a stuttering child. Still, he stayed silent as she finished her question. She asked him if they could ever go back, to leave the portal that had opened and brought them here. He hadn’t known she was from Helovia, he hadn’t known exactly what she spoke of other than the fact that in the recent years, darkness had descended upon them. Back before the darkness, he didn’t have to lie and wait for unsuspecting souls, he had a steady amount of food supply that kept him humble, only challenging those that dared to enter his home.
So he stood with his eyeless face, offering a small shrug of his shoulders before attempting to speak in raspy sounds – much of which of having no use in the many years past. “I do not know.” He answered in his hissing-like voice, unable to move his mouth enough to form perfectly coherent words. “Things were better here before the darkness.” He offered her, tilting his head with a predators sharpness. “Maybe it will open again.” He offered her, waiting to see if she indeed had more questions or if he could continue the hunt for something more easily caught.
