Moving around the rising water Zaineb gave him, a sound came from Croak's throat like a toad caught red-handed. It was too late to avert his eyes of milk and jade. The statue's gaze rested over him like condensed terror, searing at his sense of self. The maneuverist managed to hold steady against the impalpable force that bombarded his willpower.
It was downright awful, and Croak didn't like it one bit.
Yet even horror had its time, and the time was not now. Too many things to do. Too many skulls to crack open for the good of those skulls were at least still covered in scalps. So once again, Croak dug deep into the shelter of his own mind, feeling time whirl close to a stop, giving him ample time to flick the switch that allowed him to say to this frightening figure:
No.
"How about we drag the minotaur inside, as well as the other corpses?"
Zaineb's voice cut through the fading fog of fear.
"Yeah...sure," Croak muttered, dropping the drapes back down. Before he moved over to help Zaineb haul corpses, he looked to the priest and the orator.
"Don't look under there." The brim of his wide hat jerked towards the covered monstrosity.
"It'll just be...a bad time."
