My body shivers lightly, the hair on my arms standing on end. The cold seeps into me, and those eyes… well, eye sockets, if we're being very specific here, feels too eerie; it's hard to say whether it's her or not...
Ahem. Where was I? Ah, right.
"State your name, mortal…"
The familiar voice strikes me like a bolt of lightning. It's her. But… why does it feel so different this time? Is it because I'm actually dead now?
No problem. Time to activate Quill Charm 2000 and secure this girl, bring her back with me. I laugh inwardly, feeling a little arrogant. Is that bad? Probably. But hey, ObservantReader is always cursing me about my absurd luck with women. What can I say? Hehe.
"I'm Quill," I say proudly, my eyes locking with hers. I show no fear. She seems harmless enough to me, and besides, I have my author powers with me this time. Nothing bad should happen.
