[N] - name
≡≡≡≡≡

"Looks like you're unaware of your current situation! Silly witch, do you not know how much danger you are in under my glorious presence!?" The stranger queries.

Edric only shook his head, still very confused. "No...? Who are you excatly?"

The other boy gasped in distraught before jumping down to the ground from atop the boulder he stood on and landed right in front of Edric.
"I am the great [N]! A mighty overlord!" The [h/c] haired boy gestured to the little beast in his arms, "this here is my lieutenant, Malphas!"

"Awww!! He's so adorable!" Edric coos as he stretched his hand out to pet Malphas, however, [N] harshly slapped his hand away.

"Ow! What was that for?" Edric yelped in surprise before mumbling, "you slapped my hand really hard as well..."

"No filthy witch lays a hand on Malphas!" [N] screamed an answer as he pets the little animal's head.

"Don't blame me for wanting to pet such a cute creature... what's your problem with witches anyways?" Edric asks.

"I don't know. I just don't like creatures like you." [N] bluntly avowed nonchalantly.

"Wait wha--? Okay, that sounded really rude to start off, and why? What is it that you don't like about witches?" Edric questions, offended by the other's statement.

"For starters, all of you creatures are so annoying and dumb! You're ugly and stinky! And I'm way better than you all!! I also dislike you all witches because why not!" [N] loudly shares his opinion on the matter - Malphas jumping out of his arms to start munching on some of the food that had been forgotten.

"I don't think those a very valid reasons to hate on all witches... I'm pretty sure you haven't even met that many go begin with... seeing as you live all the way out here in isolation..." Edric mindlessly remarks, and [N] harshly creases his brows with his smile sharply down turning.

"I've come across plenty of witches!! Many of them have come over to my forest! Foolishly walking in before running away or never to be seen again!" [N] argued, crossing his arms and bearing his teeth.

"Pfft-- I don't think that counts! I bet you haven't even left this forest in centuries." Edric teased.

"Are you making fun of me?!"

"Maybe? How about this, I'll take you out to Bonesborough tomorrow! It'll be tons fun and may change your views on witches!" Edric suggests out of the blue and [N] gives him a skeptic look.

"Hmm... I'll go, but only under one condition." [N] said as he held up his index finger.

"Okay then, what is this condition?" Edric asks and the [h/c] haired teen gave a toothy grin.

"You have to become my underling!" [N]  announces and Edric deadpans for a second before it registered in his brain.
"Your what?! Why? I'm taking you out to be your friend and change your views on witches, not be your personal servent!?"

"Listen here witch, I will only take your offer into consideration as my devoted follower! I'm not here to form a truce with the enemy." [N] professes proudly.

"Is there another condition that I can agree to? Because the one you have in mind isn't doing it for me." Edric opined.

"Nope! Now that we're done here, I'm leaving. Be here by midday tomorrow, underling!" Said [N] as he grabs Malphas before rushing back into the forest.

It's now the evening, Edric sits at his desk in his bedroom, thinking about [N] and the interaction they had earlier today. His notebook was lying opened with a doodle of Malphas amongst a sea of other random doodles.

"Now that I think about it... that was a really weird encounter... why did I offer to be his friend?" Edric thought aloud to himself.

"What was a weird encounter? Who's your new friend?"

Edric shrieks; stunned as he hastily shut the notebook in front of him before turning his head over to see his older sister, Emira.

"Oh...! uhhh...! nothing! Just had a w-weird run in... with someone..." Edric nervously lied and Emira rolled her eyes with a giggle.

"Why so nervous? What are you hiding from meee? C'mooon, tell me!" Emira urged her brother, trying to get the notebook but Edric was quick to stop her.

"It's nothing, really! What are you even doing in my room?" Edric asked his twin - quick to change the topic.

Emira scoffed, saying, "Quick to change the subject I see - you can always tell me about your secret lover another time. There's no need to be embarassed all about this lil bro!"

"Emira..."

"I just came up here to tell you that it's almost time to eat, that's all." Emira claims before leaving the room. Not without trying to grab the notebook once again. However, Edric made sure Emira wouldn't get her hands on it. The elder admits defeat before actually leaving the room this time.

Edric watches his sister leave before looking over his notebook and opening it moments later.
