Bella POV
Ghoulam's Wastelands
We all looked at Egon nervously. Was he another demon, or monster and why did he speak to Wole with so much familiarity.
Egon seemed rather oblivious of most of us, though I sensed his eyes upon me multiple times. Yet, I felt no malice emanate from him, so I decided not to react much.
Behind me, Ivy and Flanagan were shuffling around nervously as well. I took sense Ivy's twitchiness through our bond.
Egon came closer to me and inspected the jeweled necklace at my throat. He placed one long, wooden finger, with a hint of a leaf growing from it's side on the jewel in the middle and said, "Figures...you travel with interesting companions Wole and then you make detours it seems to forbidden places...these jewels are from the whispering pillars, aren't they?"
I stepped back, feeling very afraid of his touch. Yet, I realized that he wasn't interested in me as much as he was curious about the jewels.
