~Elpos' Nightmare~
Elphos shook his head at the sight of the children.
For a fleeting moment he wanted to help them, but then realized that they couldn't be there, and therefore, are not.
Though it pained him to do so, he did his best to ignore their pleas and the snake and continued to paint on himself.
Then it came.
What.
He was startled and paused.
Do.
He shook his head and returned to painting.
You.
He told himself he must'nt listen.
FEAR?!?!
All of a sudden, all the flames and children vanished. And so did the trees and the sky.
Everything was dark and Elphos could see nothing but his brightly illuminated self.
Two large, brightly shining red eyes loomed above him.
Elphos gulped. He knew those eyes. He had never seen them, but deep inside, he knew them. There was only one such pair of brightly shining crimson eyes.
With a shaking hand, Elphos barely managed to finish drawing on his body, which was then wrapped in a bright blue light.
He turned to look at the crimson, sparkling eyes in the darkness. Under them, a toothy grin was visible.
"Theres no mistake... You look exactly how I imagined Retan is."
Elphos trembled. Retan couldn't be here. The hysterical sociopath and winged, black tentacle monster he heard so much about was still in the dark continent.
Why would he run into him here.
Gulp.
Elphos raised his hand and pointed at the eyes. He was still trembling, but he spoke nontheless.
"R-R-Retan! I am sh-sh-shielded! Y-y-you can't h-h-h-hurt me! G-g-g-go s-s-s-someplace else!"
Deep inside, he began praying he won't have to suck his fire breath. Or cold breath. Or Acid breath. Or dark-powered plasma death. Or even minty-fresh breath. He heard Retan has so many types of breath attacks that he lost count of them all.
