``Who are you and how dare you trespass on our land? `` he said, or rather spat elegantly, as that was more precisely what it sounded like to Amphisbene.
``Who I am is none of your business and I was not aware that I was trespassing upon your land``, she answered curtly. She didn't like talking to a sharp arrow, especially when its owner was glaring menacingly at her.
`` How could you not realize you were trespassing? My lady, you are at the very least fifty miles deep in the Green Wood in every direction.`` he added in a somewhat mocking tone. She really did not like this man's rude attitude and tone of voice.
``Well, I've never heard of elves, they are mythical creatures rumoured to be no more than three feet high, sport colours of green and gold and sing Christmas carols!`` Ampisbene spat at him.
``What?!`` the pale man roared, making Amphisbene rather nervous, until he started laughing loudly and replied ``What kind of creature are you? I have never seen one of your likeness``.
`` I would doubt you if you said that you had. None of my people would choose to live in this world, and especially not with…`` she trailed off and kept herself from adding `stupid albino jerks like you roaming around, half-crazed and armed with dangerous weapons` seeing as he was still aiming an arrow at her. With the distance that separated them, not even a baby could miss and she had the impression he could kill her at 200 feet if she was running and his eyes were closed. Suddenly, the queer man/angel broke the silence.
``What do you mean by 'this world'?`` Do you come from another? Trapped, she blurted``yes``, in a really mushroom-like way, and her cheeks flushed due to her aggravation at behaving in such a manner.
``How did you get here?`` she shrugged.
``Through a nasty dirt hole I fell into while chasing a mushroom`` Amphisbene answered his question. With that, he lowered his arms and in a moment of wonder, stared incredulously at her. Amphisbene noticed him lower his guard, and she also noticed an opportunity. She pounced on him as though she was a frightened cat with its claws extended. He never saw it coming.
