The letter sat there silently, without biting or snapping at him. Whatever it was, it wasn’t a trap.

“It is a letter,” grinned Killing Doll, “from a dear friend of yours.”

“...Say what?”

Orphen picked up the scrap of paper. As harmless as it seemed, he stole another glance at Killing Doll to be certain that it wasn’t a trap. The doll made no signs of moving, so he spread the letter out and read its contents.

He knew the sender before even reaching the name scrawled at the bottom. He crushed the paper up into a ball and threw it back to the ground, which was all the response he felt the thing deserved.

“‘I challenge your lily-livered loins to a duel by the Basilitrice. Fight me — Vulcano Volkan’?! I’ll break that weasel’s fingers so bad he’ll be writing letters with his feet from now on!”

“The ‘weasel’ you speak of is my current master,” said Killing Doll without a hint of jest.

“Your master?!” yelled Orphen hysterically. “No wonder he came at me with a freaking golem earlier today!”

“That golem was but one of many. My master now possesses the entire Treasury over which I have stood guard these long centuries.”

“Fuck that! What kind of ‘Guardian’ just gives his treasury away to a pair of teenage brats?! You can’t fool me, I know you’re plotting somethi—” Orphen didn’t even need to finish that sentence before he realized his misunderstanding.

“Master?” asked a concerned Majic.

Orphen didn’t reply. He simply bit his lip as he stared into Killing Doll’s eyes.

“It is as you fear,” the doll said. “I read the minds of those dwarf brothers — neither of them a Sorcerer, but with plenty of information on where to find one. I did not even need to pry for the details. The boys told me all about you with their own mouths, Orphen.”

“...”

“Not only that, but I have heard of your many exploits. You are no ordinary Sorcerer. In accordance with my orders, you must be exterminated.”

“And... I’m... asking... why!” yelled Orphen, calling up every last scrap of power within him for a desperate attack.

Another beam of light shot from his hand, but Killing Doll made no efforts to dodge it. It simply raised its hand and absorbed every trace of the attack into a glimmering rune on its palm. The spell vanished as if it had never been cast.

“Shit,” he swore, and the doll shrugged its shoulders.

“You are no fool. You already understand that as great as your power as a human is, you are but a child with a knife trying to hold your ground against a tornado. Your sword does not faze me, but I am concerned that you survived my ultimate attack. The Rune of Destruction which destroyed that building was no ordinary attack, as I am sure you are aware. Your survivability is somewhat of a problem for an exterminator like myself.”

“What am I, a cockroach?!”

“Were a human to find a cockroach, they would try to kill the thing on the spot.
