3 Hello my name is?

"AHHH" Jaral jumped from his bed to the nearest corner and curled up in a ball. He was confused, who was the strange man staring at him and why was he in his room.

"Hello young Jaral I am Count Parei." He said this as if it had explained everything with an annoyed look the Count continued. "your family has sold you to the empire, but don't worry, after you reach adult hood you will be free to pursue your own future." As Parei said this a colorless smoke began to flow from Jaral's body and it swirled like a miniature tornado about 6 feat high, then dissipated in an explosive outward motion and standing there was a man. he stood at a towering 8 feet, wearing a suit and tie with a myriad of colors ranging from purple, yellow, and red. He had a black top hat with a large eye in the center resting on his head, his black dress shoes were so shiny they seemed to reflect ones soul, his hair was stark white with streaks of grey, his mask gave him a permanent smile while the two holes where the eyes would go were empty like a void trying to suck your entire being and erase you from history, his white gloves gleamed in the artificial light, and he tucked his cane under his arm while holding his hat with the other. He bowed to Jaral as deeply as he could. The man then turned to Parei.

"What gives you the right to own us, and if you tell me that it's that piece of paper my master shall duel it for his freedom." The man said this while pointing his cane 2 inches from Parei's face.

Parei was dumbfounded. A man just appeared out of nowhere and was now disrespecting him in the most disgraceful way possible. In a fit of rage and confusion he tried to strike the man but as soon as his fist made contact his arm was bent in a 360° motion. And the second he started to scream a translucent clock began to levitate above his arm. Parei's arm began to reverse with the hands of the clock moving back to it's natural state after the clock had gone through a few cycles Parei's arm was returned to it's original state. Parei looked up at the man in a mixture of fear and wonder then asked one question "Who the hell are you?"

The man then turned to Jaral and bowed so deep that his face was inches from the ground. He lifted his face just enough so Jaral could see his eyes "Hello young master I am Sloth."
