'What should I do? Use Shadow Oblivion or summon Thirteen and Fluffington?' Nox thought, eyeing the humanoid snake looming over him.
Everything had happened so quickly. Just moments ago, Nox could have sworn he saw Snakey speaking with her party members. Now, she was right in his face.
An oppressive silence lingered as Snakey's green eyes stared into Nox's mask. As the silence stretched, Nox placed his hand behind his back, and the Fanged Dagger materialized in his grasp. He hoped to drive the dagger into her heart and end it here and now.
Nox didn't feel bad about what he was about to do; this being looked no different from any regular beast. However, just as he was about to strike, the intruder spoke.
"I never thought I'd see one of your kind here," Snakey said. "What a big surprise."
'Her voice…and her aura don't seem harmful,' Nox's brain was moving at a high rate, allowing him to notice even the slightest details.
