Personification
She didn't fight his order to find another way; something about the creatures was unsettling. They made her skin crawl. Like they were a personification of everything wrong with the world, in a parody of human form.
"Why does she not destroy them if they are so dangerous?" Chihiro asked softly, watching for any new openings in their path.
"Because she is a Witch and not a spirit; they hold no danger for her. She actually considers them sort of as… guardians of the bathhouse. Her enforcers. This is not the first time she has used them in such a manner." He replied, carefully leveling her behind him as he felt along a corner that was not there a moment before, having formed in the space of a blink of an eye.
"But what threat could they pose to you? You're a Dragon, and one of the most powerful spirits I've ever encountered, surely there's something that can be done about them."
He was shaking his head before she'd even finished her sentence, sending silky green locks tumbling over his shoulders in disarray. "I have seen them kill. They attach themselves to a spirit, calling for more of their own until there's nothing left of what once was, consuming them from the inside out. Turning spirits into monsters just like them."
Note: Okay, I wanted to inform everyone why I was gone for since I've been getting so many messages; I was extremely ill and am still recovering. I've finally been allowed off strict bed-rest and am trying to make up for lost time, so updates are going to be mildly sporadic as I'm getting back into the swing of things.
