The psychopomp, Charon, bowed low before his King and his guests who stood at the shores of the River of Souls. He was a ghoulish figure, cloaked in midnight black that covered his shadowy face. His bony fingers held onto his ferrying staff that exuded ominous black smoke that matched the river he floated above.
"It is good to see you too, Charon. Thank you, for keeping the Underworld running while I have been away."
Aaric stated, seemingly silently conversing with the ferryman of souls who simply nodded in response. Allegra and Sela watched in silent awe at the exchange that they quickly figured was through telepathy.
"My brother cannot speak like we do. He, thereby, uses Telepathy to communicate. I personally think he prefers it this way because he is such a f*****g loner."
