Alyss tilted her head with a tender expression. She gave him a small nod, while petting his head, understanding that even if the boy really was feeling fear, he wanted to try to overcome them. She hold his hand again and stood up, walking slowly in direction of the leafed tunnel. Alyss could feel him tremble, and almost hear his nervous breath. A small breeze made the leafs wave slowly, making them hiss, in a smooth and melodious tune. Alyss started humming a music that she had heard somewhere, not really sure when or why, not knowing that it was actually ‘Lacie’’s music.
His expression brightened a bit when she smiled and started petting his head, leading him where the tunnel was afterwards. Every step they took, his heart beated faster and faster, but he was forcing himself to draw a seemingly heartened grin regardless.
Gilbert didn’t remember when he had heard of such a thing, but the motion of the leaves and the sound of the wind reminded him of a ship sailing during a tempest, and Alyss’ melody… was the lighthouse guiding the sailors to a safe place.

“We’re there.” He only stated when they reached the place, wiling to give it his all.
Alyss walked slowly towards the entrance of the cave, wrapped up with leaves everywhere. Inside, only a dim light from the top of the place would keep the path visible, entering through some holes that were on the celling. Alyss could feel the boy tensioning up, but she knew that he was trying to be has strong has he could. As she looked back at him, his strange grin made her smile, holding the grudge inside to laugh.

“Yes.” – she replied walking again – “His lair can’t be far.” – Alyss said, well knowing that the monster had nothing of ‘monster’ within him.
