Prized possession

"Leaving so soon, brother?" Khufu sneered, swirling his sword in his hands. 

Hellion ran his tongue over his fangs as he let out a raspy chuckle. "I must admit, I expected this." 

"Would you be surprised if I say, me too!" Khufu leaned in a little and whispered like he was telling Hellion a secret. 

"Nch," Hellion responded with a sound. "Not at all!" 

Hellion crossed his arms behind his back, gesturing towards the creature with the movements of his fingers. The creature blinked at the visible message but it didn't budge from its place when Hellion was expecting it to flee while he was to distract Khufu and his men who had surrounded him like bees around their hive. 

"Just for the sake of the fact that I called you brother, I'll give you a choice. Hand over your pet without causing any trouble and I'll spare you." Khufu said as he stopped swirling the sword and rested its tip above the ground.
