The first time Melli saw that, he screamed and froze in terror so thoroughly that he could not move a single muscle beyond the frightened trembling that had seized them.
The yellow eyes had noticed him, turning to him with their round core - it shimmers like opal, he thought in a sudden awe, forgetting the fear, forgetting the unnatural nature of it all, like the iridescence of a pearl - as the flame within burned as purple as the deadliest venoms.
"Ah," the flat mouth (which had appeared sewn shut by large black threads at a first glance) only exclaimed, with a sound so melodious and thinly ethereal it nearly hypnotized him on the spot. A pale, blueish hand rose to cover the lack of lips, almost ashamed, as it sang: "I apologize..."
Human-like limbs, much more solid, more real than the bulbous flaming head, moved clumsily to retreat from whence they had come, to hide behind the cavern wall. The long dark coat flowed strangely in the air.
"I've wandered too far down this side of the mountain, it seems..." the beautiful voice sang again.
Melli watched powerless, immoble, as the peculiar thing stumbled away - footing unstable like that of a newborn Stantler - until the light of its fire disappeared down rocky corridors, and the footsteps of its strange black shoes grew faint enough to disappear.
