Bolsen stared at the corpse on the ground. After a moment of silence, he asked softly, "Aren't you going to eat it?"
"Too old. It'd get stuck in my teeth."
"So you prefer them tender?"
"It's not like you eat them whether they're tender or not," the Abyssal Creature said, glancing in the direction of Clelia's true body. "Are you sure you're not going to give chase? She... she should be quite delectable."
"My mission is to guard this place."
"Fine by me. I can't be bothered to move either."
With that, it slowly crouched down and receded into Bolsen's body. "Don't call me unless it's important. I'm tired."
"Alright." Bolsen waved his hand, and the corpse on the ground vanished.
As it happened, he was feeling tired too...
Meanwhile, Clelia returned to her true body.
'What in the world is that monster?'
She wiped the blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. 'That Abyssal Creature's attack could actually wound my very essence?'
'This isn't fun anymore.'
