We landed in Nowhere and father got out of the ship first but I was right behind him. We walked quite a way until we made it to a room that looked like a messed up museum. There was things and creatures on display. A man with big white hair stood at the other side of the room facing away from us.
"Taneleer, give me the Aether," father said in a dark voice. Taneleer slowly turned to face us and he looked upset.
"You have to trade to get something of mine," he said snarkily.
"I brought nothing to trade since that's not why I came." Taneleer looked distraught but then his eyes landed on me.
"You do have a fine specimen right here." He stalked over to us and grabbed my face. I didn't fight since father didn't say to but I was scared. My mask came off my face and Taneleer looked surprised. "Wow a mution! It's been a while since I've seen one of these."
I tried to pull away from him but his grip tightened. I looked over at father and he had a blank look on his face. I was terrified of what would happen now.
"I'll trade you the Aether for this lovely creature," Taneleer said smiling widely. Father looked like he was thinking about it for a moment and then started nodding his head. My eyes widened and my breathing came in short breaths. "Alright then."
Taneleer walked over to one of the cases and pulled out a rectangular box. He brought it to Father and he opened it. Inside was a red stone and he put it on his gauntlet. Taneleer walked back over to me and started to pull me to one of his terrariums.
"Spider, kill him." The second I heard those words escape father's mouth I stabbed Taneleer through the head with one of my metal limbs. I turned back to father and he looked pleased. He then went back to a blank expression and started to destroy the room.
