"I am sorry, but who you might be?"— asked Amelia, while facing the stranger that may have scared the Hydra. He was clad in black armor from head to toes, without and inch of body visible, and in his eye slits thee was only darkness.

There was no response.  

"Maybe it's just a suit of armor?"— asked Priscilla, edging closer.

"Whatever it is, girls, do you feel that the strange mana, that we have been sent to investigate is gone? Maybe it is somehow related to this artifact?"— theorized Beerley, while reaching down for his flask of "thinking".

"Well, we can see what is it by the ultimate way."— said Amelia, walking straight to the object in question. Stopping only as her nose barely touched it's helmet, she got out a very small package, of the size of a thumb, unpacked it, and produced a brown-coloured something out of it. "It’s called chocolate."— said she. "It's very popular in the capital, and you can also add it to many other dishes, making them even more delicious! »— She said slowly, hoping that she would be understood. Then she opened her mouth and ate a little bit from it. "Do you the want the other half? In big quantities it isn't good for your figure and the other two didn’t behave well during the journey, so I will give it to you to taste it, all right?» Mostly expecting this to be a joke and a way to scoff her companions, Amelia jumped back a little bit when the casque opened in half, exposing two rows of sharp teeth, each a finger long, offering a sight of a decaying flesh inside its mouth. After a show this gruesome, Amelia was taken back a little bit, but still gave (slowly) a piece of chocolate, after a moment of indecisiveness, to an armored hand that the creature had the time to outstretch to her. Having received its present, it put it into its opened mouth (it remained like that all the time). Snapping it sharply, the creature made strange movements with its head, swishing it right and left, as if it had something very hot or very cold in its mouth, but then suddenly stopped, knees sagging as with the pleasure, then it straightened up its posture and began making noises (strangely, then helmet didn’t move) that resembled speech —« Drea mssi, I wldou lkie to knwo the nmae fo the noe who hda gvnie me the msto dlcseiiou nctrea thta I hvae free tstdae, sa far sa I rmmbreee.»
