I wince as he starts cleaning the wound up. I look at him. Should I have mentioned the sword? I know what he did with it. I know the horror stories of that sword. I usually can handle my own. I have all the power. I'm a puppeteer.
"You know, I didn't know you would venture from your island." He says.
"I know... but I am desperate." I say.
"You must be if you want my help. Remember the last time we faced eachother?" He asks.
"You came onto my island. I told you I would prove that you're the one who's done for." I move my hand up his hand.
He pulls back.
"Sorry." I mutter.
He tightens the bandages.
"So, are you sure you've seen the sword?" He asks.
"Yes. This isn't some twisted game, and I don't play darling." I say.
"Yeah... so I've heard." He says.
"I really need your help Neo." I say.
He stiffens. His animal pets growl.
"It's Hector." He says.
"Okay then, Hector. I need your help. There are many ways of persuasion." I say.
"Yeah, I know." He stands up.
I get up. I move my arm around.
"Thanks." I say.
"Yeah. What kind of monster is this?" He asks.
I look down.
"Cece, what is it?" He crosses his arms.
"It's through the layer of Scylla." I say.
