Who I Am (Part 2)

"Of course I know you." Alinor answered to buy time and not anger his assailant. "Everyone knows the Supreme Magus Lith Verhen."

"No, you don't know me. Very few do." Lith chuckled, sending a chill down Alinor's spine. "You know my name and face like everyone else but that's it. If you knew who I am and what I do, you would have never approached my mother in my presence."

As Lith stood up, his shadow spread to the rest of the room as if he had turned into a black sun. The room disappeared, leaving Alinor stranded in an endless void. There was only him, Lith, and countless white stars.

Chittering stars that turned out to be eyes and teeth. The darkness was but a thin veil and countless invisible hands prickled at it in the attempt to pass through. Alinor felt their finger grasping at him, their claws scratching his skin.

"What do you want from me?" He managed to ask as the shadows vanished as quickly as they had appeared.
