It was best to strike while you had a certain element of surprise. “We don’t have a lot of time to really think.” You lean against the sheet of metal, gripping your sword in your free hand. Keeping your flame active in one hand while fighting is going to be difficult, but not any harder than fighting in complete darkness. “Let’s go, Bucklin.”
“Alright.” Bucklin sits up, brandishing his staff. “Light the way.”
You leap out from cover, running forward with your flame cast out as a light. It was easy to tell at a glance that you had enough room to fight. No danger of falling into the darkest depths of the cave. But, the quick glance revealed something…
The form of the monster?
The monster. Could you call it a form?
It was…
Eyes.
Eyes with teeth. Eyes with cracked flesh, like a malformed mirror. Your reflections balk. They stand in unison, reflected in pale torchlight.
Red. Its eyes were a maddening red.
Your legs shake. The world spins. “Ghk!” You grunt, forcing yourself to stand in the face of this <span class="mu-i">thing</span>.
It opens its mouth. No, that was wrong, its <span class="mu-i">mouths</span> and lets out a low, chattering laugh. “Kihihihi.”
Was it mocking you? Was it laughing at itself?
No time for questions, and no time for fear. You grip the blade and raise it toward the monster.
