A few moments pass, where Mithias is doing nothing but trembling. The eerie purple light from the portal fades and it is gone. The room is empty except for Mith, Bob, and somebody named Hunger in the back corner. Oddly, quietly, Mithias starts chuckling to himself. He takes a breath and sits back on his ankles as he outright laughs in exasperation. ...maybe he did go crazy. His eyes finally find Bob, and he shakes his head in disbelief at what just happened. "He's gone..." Shaken, tears amid his smile, he opens his arms in a gesture to the Lord of Nightmares and Taker of Souls. "I live." His voice held true gratitude and some level of astonishment. Eventually, he got himself up, seemingly coming back to sanity. He glanced back to Hunger, then addressed Bob, who appeared slightly disappointed that he didn't gt to watch Mithias die. "Thank you for protecting me. I don't think I want to ever see the Godkiller again." He hesitated, but then had to ask. "Forgive me, but, did you say I might be of use to you?"

Bob chuckles as Mithias slowly starts to recover from the mental barrage Stein had launched against him. Luckily, the fellow's mind was sturdy enough to resist an attack that would fell most, most likely he had psychic resistance to such attacks. However, he'd need that, seeing as what path he was going down. As Mithias finally speaks, Bob bursts into a fit of loud, booming laughter that shakes the room, and yet somehow doesn't disturb a single table. "There are very few in this existence that would wish to see Stein, nevermind twice. Did you know he tried to destroy the concept of Good once? Drac and the rest stopped him, and I doubt it would have worked even if they hadn't, but his plan was quite frighteningly effective."
Bob became more serious as Mithias mentioned how Bob had a use for him. Of course, Bob's idea of using him was much more vague, and quite probably less horrifying, than the vampire imagined, but that was true of many things with Bob. "You heard Stein. He spoje to the Lord of Nightmares, a surprisingly kind being. We call her Lon for short. However, beings of a certain power can reach out through the fabric of time itself. See the clockworks of the endless mechanisms of time. There are a few, throughout time, who take part in adventures in between worlds that might determine the fate of all of reality. Drac, Lord of the Fallen. Tsukune, the Martyr. Stein, the God-Killer. Creed, the Dragon Slayer. Ven, the Heartless. Spirit, my beloved daughter. Tyki, emmisary of the Noa. And many more besides." He smiles brightly, splaying his hands towards you. "And, as it turns out, you're one of them."
