The elf watched as the situation unfolded in a curious direction. Suddenly, everyone had their weapons pointed towards the woman and the Hou-- Wolf, made her way towards the woman with clear intentions of wanting to know her reasoning. Mygdos was very curious himself. He wondered what kind of reasoning was behind such a barbaric assassination.
What followed after was a brief unison of the group as they all joined together to understand this woman's actions, a very small fraction of unity that allowed them to actually feel like the squad they were supposed to be. Mygdos was rather proud of the children. They understood well enough to know that in the most drastic situations, banding up together was the most intelligent idea. He understood that as well, after all. As the group united and each started asking their own questions towards the Vampiric Knight. Kiyoko in her own way seemed like she was rather surprised at the Knight's strength. Mygdos, on the other side, was still pointing his sword towards the Knight's neck, and he definitely didn't intend on just letting her go...
She then spoke up, talking about how Xarl was a traitor and how all that he had told them was a lie. Mygdos sighed. The most difficult part about her words was that they were true. Mygdos could confirm that what she was telling was true because right now the woman was being manipulated in a very real way. He could see the fine threads of magic going from the child vampire's eyes into the Knight's soul. Such a thing was only possible thanks to his status as a Specter. He knew well she was telling the truth, but there were still unclear things. That's beside the point that, although that was true to her, it didn't mean it was the real truth. She might've been manipulated into thinking she was an agent of the Dirge. Then again, she stated she was here to join the Dirge, which further made it difficult for him to trust her words fully. Mygdos was about to pull his sword through her neck and kill her off before Mr. Goody Two Shoes showed up and order everyone to cease their aggressions. He even went as far as saying he was "sorry for everyone's actions". Mygdos almost laughed at that statement. Coming from a group of people who were about to go on a mission to overthrow a government, a group who had just seen someone kill and drain someone's blood in cold blood and a group who was still not believing her words, he'd say that was a pretty normal reaction to it all.
Mygdos trusted the child vampire's magic, mainly because he saw it himself, but he didn't trust this woman's antics and the way she acted self-righteously, almost similar to the foreigner. He scoffed as the child vampire let her go and he could see in her very soul the hunger for blood. Elyan had told them to prepare and take rest, but Mygdos didn't need rest, and he didn't need food, and he obviously couldn't care less about his voyage. Dead men didn't need to eat or sleep, they just needed a motive to stand still, nothing else mattered.
As soon as the spell broke out, Mygdos was ready to take a step forward and hear more about the reasoning behind the woman's actions, aside from what she had told them earlier, that was, until he heard Elyan's words. Immediately, his face showed a form of both anger, rage and distaste. He frowned and scoffed as he turned around. What kind of fool would invite a cold-blooded killer to walk alongside them, and even worse, one who had just killed someone right in front of them. Although what the vampire said was true, that didn't mean she had told them the entire truth. She simply answered his questions.
As he turned his back towards the duo, he made his way away from the group and towards his isolated corner on the end of the respite, the same place he had previously shown the Wolf. Such a fool couldn't be taken seriously. Mygdos would make sure to remember how Elyan discarded the group's necessity to know as much about this woman as he likely needed to know and thought of himself as more important than everyone else to only him know about her true words. However, the elf didn't intend on letting this continue. He too would hear all that this woman had to say.
He looked towards one of the corners of his isolated room, and then he pointed towards the shadows that encrusted them. From that shadow rose a body made out of the smoke that was present and in a couple of seconds, a sentient creature of shadows appeared. Not a shadow in itself, but a clone made out shadows. Much like him, the clone too had the ability to stalk his prey and go unnoticed, perhaps even more than him, since it had no heartbeat, no breath, no blood in it. He stared at his creation, chuckling to himself before he sat on the ground and took a position that would allow him to completely focus on controlling the shadow.
As he assumed full control, the shadow made it's way across the Respite, sticking to the place it was most unseen, the shadows itself. It was difficult to see it move and when it stood still, it went invisible, even if there was some light illuminating it, the shadow would look to be a simple byproduct of the light or merged with the shadows present, a true malformation of reality that made it look completely invisible. It moved swiftly and quietly towards the duo that now was going to the dark hallways of the respite, the perfect place for it to hide. The shadow followed after the two, with it's presence completely unnoticed. When it stood still and when Mygdos focused, he could keep it's presence a complete mystery, even should someone stare right at it. Lacking the true capability of either seeing magic or seeing through the cape of the darkness, it would be very difficult for both Vera and Elyan to see this creature, not unless they fully and completely focused on noticing their surroundings.
Whatever it was this woman was hiding, Mygdos would know... And he didn't intend on keeping this to himself. It was for the good of the group...
