3043 Authority and Responsibility (Part 1)
Vothal's words oozed venom, just like the droplets of acidic spit he released to intimidate the uninvited guest. They were too small to kill even a human but big enough to give a solid sting.
"I'm sorry, Grandfather. I was just worried about your well-being." Bodya kept his distance and gave him a deep bow. "If that's what you want, I'll leave and won't bother you any longer."
Vothal stared at the unfamiliar features of the newcomer in confusion, at least until he activated Life Vision and recognized his grandson's energy signature.
The Elder Nidhogg scanned the area with Life and Earth Vision to make sure no one was eavesdropping on them. He also switched to Leviathantongue just to be safe.
Vothal cast a Life Sensing and an array-detection spell before daring to use Bodya's name.
As he talked, he shapeshifted into a bipedal lizard with opposable thumbs. The pattern of his scales and horns remained the same, but now he wore a grey hooded surplice. It only left his snout, hands, and long tail exposed.
It was the attire of Nidhoggs convicted of crimes against the nest, pending the patriarch's sentencing.
Bodya was flabbergasted.?
Vothal replied.
