Username: Tabbykit
Name: Falon
Gender: He/him
Prompt:
From within the deep cavern you hear a chuckle—it makes you uneasy. You step inside and squint your eyes as they adjust to the barely-there light shining from somewhere further away. “HEY. I hear you; I know you’re in there!” (What bravado!)
“Yeah?” Behind you? “I mean, I know you know. I know most things.” Beside you? You turn heel to face the Lambie. Nothing—empty air. Dripping stalactites.
“I’ve figured you out Falon!” Silence. “That’s right, I know your true name!” Excitement spreads to your fingers in a rush. You’ve been searching for SO long! He can’t escape you this time. Now you know him, now he owes you. The echoes of your footsteps bounce off the cool walls.
You’ve wandered completely into the cave now, the light from the outside world behind you has blinked away, a lamp switched off. As you walk the cavern opens wide to greet you, filled with softly glowing crystals. There in center, up high on a makeshift stairway, stands Falon. You feel suddenly uncertain—it’s hard to tell from the distance but…is he grinning?
“You’re pretty clever.” He sounds amused. “How’d you find my name?”
You consider waxing poetic about the years spent researching, the many failed leads and sudden turn of luck. Your heart beats fast in your chest. “We’ve got tons of time to talk about that—am I right?” You ask. Gracefully for a creature with such a mischievous glint to him, Falon makes his way down to you. “Yeah, sure—you’re not wrong.” You stay still, hardly daring to breath. “Then you can tell me where they come from—you can tell me about your kind?”
Falon touches his horn to your heart—an oath? “I’ll do you one better—why don’t I show you?”
