Re: Orchrios - Entertainment District
What Bell saw next might confirm her hopes of rescue... Or just confuse her even more.
The stranger put three more shots into the monster, charging towards it while pulling a slender metal tube out from his coat with a free hand. As he got closer, the top of the tube seemed to unscrew, then extend out, revealing an inner chamber holding some sort of crystal-like stone.
The stone seemed to flash, and then something about the monster twisted, as if it was being pulled. After a few moments, during which it seemed as if both the monster and the stranger were under some kind of strain, the creature vanished in a flash of light. When the flash cleared, the tube had "closed" again, and the stranger put it back into his coat.
As close as he was to Bell, she could now tell that he was a human male, and had something covering his left eye. He turned towards her, and in a gravelly voice, spoke. "Listen, I can get you out of here, back to safety, but you need to follow close, understood?"
