Now you all gonna learn a myth thing from my land 😉 this part is basically just telling a legend/myth 😒
Billie POV
I was walking around the mansion looking for Julia because we're the only people here right now and it's about 10:20pm, I can't find her anywhere and I've looked almost everywhere. I could hear faint music from a room which door is always closed, sounds like Lost My Mind by Finneas and as I got closer to the room. I could hear soft singing with hums so now and then to copy the beats playing, I got to the door so I lightly knocked on it only to make sure that I can go in.
"OPEN!" I heard her yell so I opened the door and walked in seeing it's a studio room taking me by surprise, Julia was sitting on a chair by a table so I made my way to her and saw that she was drawing some type of monster thingy. I don't really know how to describe it but it has back hair that stands up like spikes, hands and feet like a human but it's hand nails is probably longer than a eagle's. It has a tail which is shorter than a dog's and it's body is in a human crouching form, I can't really see the face but it looks demonic which makes me question to what it could be.
"what you doing?" I asked while she finished her drawing with a smile.
"drawing" she said and looked at me as I pulled a other chair closer to me.
"what is it?" I asked as she gave me the paper so I can get a better look.

"it's a Tokoloshe" is what she replied with as I made a confused face.
"the fuck- how do you pronounce it? Tok- Toko what now?" I questioned confused by which she only laughed at.
"it's like taco but Toko, the o replaces the a... Toko-lo-si" she explained with a smile on her face still looking at me.
"T-Toko-lo-si. Toko-lo-si. Tokolo-si. Tokoloshe" I mumbled as I re-say it in my head the whole time until I got it right.
"Tokoloshe?" I asked a bit harder so that she can hear, she smiled at me and nodded as I then looked back down to the drawing.
"does it have a story?" I asked with curiosity looking at her but once again... She just smiled and nodded.
"it's from the land South Africa, I heard it a few times through someone I met on the internet" she said then took a tip of coffee she had here before she turned the chair to look at me.
"it is considered a mischievous and evil spirit that can become invisible by drinking water or swallowing a stone. Tokoloshes are called upon by malevolent people to cause trouble for others. At it's least harmful, a tokoloshe can be used to scare children, but its power extends to causing illness or even the death of the victim. The creature might be banished by a pastor (especially with an apostolic calling), who has the power to expel it from the area. It is also considered a part of superstition and is often used in a satirical manner as a reference to overcome" she said and took another sip of her coffee.
