Life Can Turn You Upside Down

"Yes, she was. That is why Medusa has Insomnia, and she is dead!" Clever...something he hadn't expected to hear from someone he had heard was as dumb as a rock. Clearly, that wasn't the case. Sure, she spoke in a strange way and had odd mannerisms in the few minutes that he had met her, but her words were clever, and already he was starting to feel...pissed that she called him Young Recluse. Was he doomed to live with that now or what? He opened his mouth to respond, but almost as soon as he did, he felt like he'd been sucker punched in the chest and the youth fell back, winded as Medusa's head slammed his chest. He coughed and sputtered as he dropped to his knees by the surprise attack. "What the fuck!" He groaned as he tried to catch his breath.

What was her deal!? Didn't like trespassers? Okay, that part he could understand...he probably shouldn't have just waltzed in here. But it was a little late to turn back now. Snarling, he snapped up and lunged towards her, thrusting his crystal horn at her as he aimed to slash at her shoulder. He was met with a yelp of pain, a wave of satisfaction coursing through him.
