"Who are you, and what are you doing here? I do not recognize you from anywhere on the island, and you are not a Demon," The Manticore questioned me, and I nodded to him.
"My name is Zack, and I am the new non-Demon Lord of the island, and I am friends with Mex," I said to the strange combination of a red lion, bird, and scorpion.
The Manticore was flapping its wings above me, but when I mentioned Mex, the lion's face turned sour.
"You still never said why you were here. Mex should know that this place is off-limits! I get that he helped me, but I don't want anything else from that woman stealer!" The Manticore shouted at me, and I swore I saw a tear in his eye.
Oh great, so this is why Mex never wanted to come, but who was this woman that he stole? Candace?
"Who did he steal from you? I can't really see Mex being the type to do something like that," I questioned the creature.
