Chapter 34: Developments
I couldn't look away from the spooky shape in front of me. A weird shock had me stuck in place...
"Tell me! Which cluster of the quadraverse do you hail from?"
"I... I... who are you?" I stammered, more confused than scared.
I had no idea what that thing was asking about, and I wanted to know who that was in the first place.
"As foreseen. Thou is not of Zytherian descent"
"Zythe... what?", I was even more confused now.
"By whose hand were thou wrought in this manner?", the half-human half-eldrich figure spoke again, asking another question.

The figure, still standing in the pool of liquid, cast me a sidelong gaze, with a mix of grace and suspicion.
Then... with a graceful yet eerie movement, retrieved an orb from within the folds of its dark, bloated robe.
