Alexander jitters as he is watching the man walk around. Hopeless, he quivers but calculates his every move like an animal, hoping to find weakness or even a way out. Although he is reminded, he has no idea how to get out of this instance. "I bet you are wondering what I am, Alex", says the cloaked bird man. Alex looks at him and stops trying to move, putting his arms down. "The harbinger of death?" again, Alex speaks without his mouth moving. The bird laughs at his cute guess, "Hahah... very close. I am an aspect of death." The bird man walks up to Alex and swipes slowly at him. Alex closes his eyes but opens them to see his body turn into smoke for a bit and goes back to the regular humanoid form. "You, Alex, are a wisp right now. You are trapped within your own body, unable to move and unable to leave. I think it's safe to say you need a guide." Alex pauses and stares back at the bird guy, after looking at his hands reel back into the form they once took, curling like steam and retracting back into solidified spirit. He starts to ask a question but the bird stops him and speaks again. "I can hear your thoughts, Alex. No need to quander. My name is Thana. I am one of the aspects of death himself. Come, we mustn't dwell here as it won't solve anything." Alex starts in again but has yet another interruption, "Shhh we will come back. This is only temporary. Your body isn't built like a regular organism. You will be fine." Thana holds out his cold palm, claws and all, and transforms into a human-like being, pure silver hair flowing with white gleaming eyes staring into Alex's. His skin, dark, grey. He's cloaked in darkened robes and has a staff with a circular opening at the end. An orb is within it, writhing with energy, a black hole encased in white. "I hope this finds you less at unease." Alex leers at him but takes his hand. A black portal with white outline opens behind Thana, engulfing them with the same render, as Alex, too, is covered and disappears from the dark labyrinth.
