"At least you didn't drag anyone else into it, so I'd keep my promise."
For reasons unknown to Killian, the figure didn't advance. It kept its eyes on the Void-Bat and Killian wondered if it was scared or curious.
"I only brought my friend. You don't want him in here too?" The figure's tone was cold and dismissive.
Killian blinked once.
Then fire flared up his arm, but the figure didn't move. Killian looked through the flames burning on his arm. It is an illusion?
The real person was a hooded boy with a bored expression. Killian lowered the Void-Bat in defeat.
I am going insane with paranoia, and someone is pranking me? He ran his hand through his hair. And this might be the board lady's son.
"Undo the illusion." Killian demanded.
"No." The reply came with a familiar tone of finality. "I will practice alone at the other side. If it worries you, then leave."
The figure headed to the other end of the room. Killian stared at him, with no words to say.
