Mythical Creatures

Explination

I woke with a start, gasping. 

After his reply, he started giving off commands as to what I should do once I got off the plane. The directions were simple: take a connecting flight to Washington then take a flight to Alaska. He would meet with me again on the Washington flight to see how things were going.
Then, he was gone, everything was back to normal as if our little meeting had never happened. The flight attendants attended to the small children and the plane was moving again. There was a small change though. And it was on me. I had a new little tattoo it was on the inside of my wrist right under my palm. It was an intricate pattern, and hard to understand.
A voice then popped in my head. It was deep and very familiar. I put two and two together. It must be the mythical creature from just a second ago.
He said, "Its a symbol we use to mark our possessions. Everyone of us has one."
"What!?" I yelled. I was now this creatures possession?! Then I realized my mistake. Almost everyone on the plane was looking at me like I was absolutely insane. "Hi," I said sheepishly "ummmm... Sorry about that.."
The flight attendants just shrugged their shoulders and returned their attention to the guests on board.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you about the telepathy thing. Try to keep it on the down low. You can speak to me through your thoughts if you need anything."
'Okay' I said to him in my thoughts 'anything else you would like to add?'
'Nope that's just about it,' he said to my mind 'I'll tell you the rest on the Washington flight.' Then he was gone.
