Stefan's eyes widen, and he works hard to bite back a scream. The closing off of the path does nothing to relieve his fear, but he realizes that there is nothing else to do but face whatever is in the room. Turning towards the creature, he places his hands on the hilt of the dagger in case he needs to defend himself. Shaking at the terrifying sight in front of him, it takes a moment for him to find his voice. "I...I came to help my sister...Sh-she's sick...a-and I need to become a knight s-so my parents can take care of her..."

the creature hesitates as it just stares at him, seeming to read him for a while before judging him to not be lying and saying "that is a noble undertaking for one so young... what is your name child?" it speaks evenly still, doing nothing to try to calm him or dissuade his fear
