He raised his eyebrows, slowly pondering a reply, "Ah, she's a smart one isn't she?" he said almost to himself. Then he said, "Yes, it's true you were taken here against your will, but it wasn't as bad as it seems. The mind can be a scary place sometimes. Even more so than reality."

"The name is Alamere Morte, the Seventh. Some call me Al, while others prefer Morte." He said, eagerly shaking my hand.
With Alamere being that close, I noticed his eyes for the first time. They were the deepest, fiery red I'd ever seen. I had never imagined seeing those eyes on a human being.

Just a little short story for you all. Hope you enjoy! ;)
