Ted didn't appreciate being knocked down onto his butt.
He got up immediately. The anger in him was pounding inside his brain, making his head hurt with all the blood that was rushing into his head and his limbs.
"Who do you think you ARE?!" he screamed into the humming wind while Eknie tried to hold him back so that he would not run straight into the hum and fight the entity with his bare fists. "Who are YOU to tell me what to do, HUH?! I am cor Ted Tobias!"
"Ted…"
"I am the favorite of two gods and two demons! You cannot touch me! I killed the rotting man, Theinskvalur! You are nothing to me! You don't even have a FACE! Mother of WORMS!"
"Ted…"
Then the high cor realized that there was writing in the snow. It was different, though, it looked wet, like ink that had not quite yet dried.
"Can you see that writing, Eknie? Can you see that text in the snow?"
"Yes...it says...I HAVE NO BODY."
