Nergal watched curiously as the misted character now floated towards him, the five worms behind him all snarled with saliva and some other unknown liquid dripping from their teeth, their hunger now obvious as Nergal smacks the middle one on the head and they begin to calm, he would then listen as he heard what sounded like his own voice twisted into echo and seemed to be twisted into sentences to be played back to him.
This is very perculiar, reminds me of the leech I once fought, who would use my own power against me, but this creature seems to only echo my words back to me with it's own version.
He then hears the creature utter 'Nil' which he guesses to be the creatures name, he would then bow his head in understanding and quickly strapped his staff to his back and watched the creature for a reaction. He would not have to wait long as suddenly an arm exploded from the cloak and Nergal narrowed his eyes as he gripped something from under his cloak but stopped as the arm had already retracted. Such an arm meant that this thing was certainly no human.
Nergal would then stare at what he guessed to be the creatures face and blinked as another eye appeared and then melted away, forming into a mouth, this is no creature he has met before. He sensed that it was near and was greatly suprised when the creature seemed to stab into the ground and an invisible voice pushed down on his head and shoulder's as the same voice ordered him to kneel.
''How dare you, I won't ever kneel to the likes of you!''.
He braced his shoulders and stamped his feet hard into the ground, feeling his legs giving way and gritted his teeth in rage, suddenly the pupils of his eyes appeared and a silver aura began to flow around his body, suddenly he relaxed and stood normal once more, his left hand now glowing softly, the veins in the arm glowing a deep blue from under the cloth. Nergal looked at the creature now with a bored expression echoing every line of his aincent face, now looking much younger than before.
''You shall have to try harder than that my silent friend''.
