A powerful bolt of dark energies zapped Hugos, leaving him in the dirt, face-first, several feet away.

 

"You know me?..."

 

"In a manner of speaking.....lost your sister to a hound attack......you've been here longer than anyone else, I would wager. Even as Maxwell got weary of you and called in others, you did not despair.....you're practically a legend, whispered amongst other spirits of the land."

 

"Save me the heroic spiel, ghost."

 

"Oh. Sorry, sir Higgsbury. By now, the fact you live means that you survived your first encounter with Rustlung, the Wicked. This is good....but you know as well as I that you have no way of truly harming him. Not only is he one of Them....but he has all the advantages here. He hunts you, not the other way around....the only person who could pose a threat to him is...well...now in another plane of existence. Er, not exactly dead, but...well...."

 

"Get to the point."

 

"Okay. I need you to go on what will likely be a suicidal quest to destroy a machine Rustlung has in place, so that Maxwell can return to the land. Simple enough?"

 

".......I KNOW I didn't hear that right."

"Well....okay, I understand you have a problem w-"

 

"Why would I help him? Ever?!......he's been nothing but a sneaky, lying little bastard ever since the moment I first heard his voice!"

 

(Was gonna wait for @Blewcheese tbh)

"I'm afraid what I've once said may not apply any longer, Higgsbury. I'm afraid you will have to get over your rivalry with that man." Entropy sighed, shaking his head. "I say it again, you must understand that Will... Or, Maxwell, rather, was not the one at fault bringing you here."

"....If he's not responsible, then who was?...."

 

"Them, of course.....They are.....you know....you have to have felt their presence at some point...eyes staring at you in the dark...a whisper making the soundtrack of your own growing madness? You can't possibly be that blind, Mr. Higgsbury."

 

"Great....just great."

"How do you know he's not just going to betray us, whoever you are?"

 

"I can't know for sure, of course. But he will want to get out of here. I know he's tired of this realm. And Them. There's one thing that would convince him to work with her.....or rather...one person...The Grue.....or is it Charlie?...I can never exactly recall."

"Also....she's blind....if that means anything..."

 

"Oh?.....hm....well....she does have some degree of sensibility left.....I don't think she would dare harm someone who is truly blind.....but, getting to her is one thing, while freeing her is another adventure entirely."

(Actually she is totally blind. Something has changed in her backstory after I submitted the character...my bad.)

"I'm afraid that I could only locate her...Since she is a shadow I could be able to use my soul as a link between us and her, but I can't bring Her whole body to us...To put it simply, I can't actually free her."

<Maybe lil' brother could do this. I wonder how he is feeling now... I have to go back to him.>

Marcy sighs.

"If we knew where she is, would we be able to get to her?"
