"Strike first before they have a chance to strike you." she stated simply. "You would have sensed me with your nose." She pushed against his hand, "Could you loosen your grip sightly? If you're going to quesiton me you shouldn't sufficate me."

He loosend his grip slightly as requested. "Who's they? Your little patrol squad or something?" he inquired, his voice half angry. "Who are you patroling for?" he demanded.

"Patrol? They? You're mistaken I'm traveling along." she breath in deeply twice -thankful for the oxygen that went to her lungs.

Athagor held her up to his eye, his grip tight enough to be uncomfortable, but not tight enough to suffocate her. "Don't-lie-to me." he said behind gritted teeth, some of which were black or missing. "These are only words you yourself have chosen. Now answer my questions: Who are 'they'? and: Who are you patroling for?"

Labyrinth winced as his grip tightened once more, "I-am-not-lying!" she spat before raising the hand that held the dagger, she swiped across it his cheek, "They are me as you are them. Patrol for them who are higher and mightier then you!" She began to talk gibberish to cover up her earlier blunder.

"Liar!" he shouted again. "You said you wanted to strike me before they did. He grunted in pain as the sharp knife slashed across his face. Taking the blood-covered dagger from her, Athagor continued, "There is a difference. I may not have an education, but I'm not dumb little girl!" he said, outraged. "Tell-the-truth, human!" he shouted. "You're lucky I don't eat you now, so speak!"

She yelped when he tore the dagger away from her, "No, what I said was and I quote 'Strike first before they have a chance to strike you.' Meaning - that I was going to strike you before you could strike me."

This only made Athagor confused, and now his head hurt. "Why would you want to strike me?" he growled. "I have done nothing wrong! I am but guarding the castle."

"You looked angry when I came upon you. So my rational thinking was to strike you before you could hurt me."

"Rational?!" he shouted. "I was angry about missing dinner!" the word made his stomach roar again. Athagor was reminded that she was food, but something in his head told him not to eat her.

"Then go have dinner!" She yelled back, "Let me go and go find food." she told him sensibly. Labyrinth reminded herself that for him she was food and him eating her was absolutely out of the question.

"I can't! I have to watch the castle! And besides, I've already found food." he said. Athagor didn't listen to his conscience much, that was for sure. He wrenched his battle axe out of the ground, and walked back to his guard post, still holding Labyrinth.

"Yes, yes you can!" she held her panic in check as he walked them back to where he had stood earlier. "I taste horrible, disgusting, nasty. BAD!" she pushed against his hand trying to get out of his grip, "Food! I can get you food." she tried failingly to reach for any of her other blades.

"Are you kidding? You humans taste wonderful!" He laughed slightly, thinking she must be joking. "You already have brought me food. You are food." he said.

She started to squirm frantically, "Maybe others taste good but I've been traveling. I'm all gritty and covered in dirt." She attempted kicking him but she wasn't able to move because of his grip. Taking the chance she bit into his hand, hard.
