"Most people have a similar reaction when they first meet me, but their reasons vary," the woman said with a smile as she walked around the room. "Most expect a man shrouded in darkness or a skeleton that has lived for a million years."
"I can't say my expectations were different," Arthur said as he eyed her examining the room like it was an antique store. "Why are you following me?"
"I sensed a strange presence in my realm, and I would naturally investigate. Of course, you did a good job hiding yourself until you arrived on my doorstep. Well played, sir."
"Thanks?" Arthur said with squinting eyes. "Are you here to fight?"
"Why would I fight?" the woman asked with a smile. "Are you here to harm me or my realm?"
"It depends," Arthur replied. "You have shown yourself to me for a reason, but I can't tell what it is."
