Your friend in the dark

Strangely, the man in her company fell into a deep slumber. However, the question in his voice told her it wasn’t something of his own doing and the depth of his breathing seemed...unnatural. As if he were under a spell. There was no doubt in her mind that it was the doing of the being with whom she was now bartering. He came to his conclusion swiftly, and with a wave of his glowing hand, she felt a sudden weight off of her head. A pair of albinistic antlers, clad with white hanging lichen, fell to her feet and she stared at them in mute horror. Her silver gaze lifted upward, but when she looked up, the being was gone and she’d been left with a horrible trick. Her small body trembled, tears springing to her gentle eyes, before a sob bubbled up her chest and escaped her lips. Oh god, she’d lost her antlers!
