"Put your weapon away inside my house." she says stepping to the side. I put it in its sheath and then go to take a step.
"Freeze. Take off your shoes. You didn't care to clean off the blood of my pet millipede from your shoes like you did everything else. I don't want you tracking it around." she says. I sigh and take them off. She's bossy, but I understand.
"Now I assume you came to take lovely Minnow back home. I'm sad because she's been such a delight to have. I was getting so lonely." she says as I follow her through the house to the living room. Minnie is sitting there and when she sees me she jumps up.
"Holland!" she says and the Encantado turns to me, new interest in her eyes.
"Oh. I see now." she smiles. She knows about me.
"Well it's been a delight dear. But it's time you went back home." she says going to turn on music. Minnie comes to my side.
"I've enjoyed talking with you Ms. Iliya." Minnie says.
"But what is this place? It's day time is it not?"
"Of course it is silly boy." Ms. Iliya says as she curtsies and starts doing ballet.
"Then how is it you are-"
"In human form? Simple. It's always night time in my cavern." she says while dancing.
"But how-" I start.
"Is that possible? You should know that already silly boy. Magic. An eternal night spell. Which is why I have all the traps. The others of my kind are always trying to get in and attack me."
