The air seemed to get strangely warmer, the phantom cocked its head just a bit, and Felix caught a glimpse of a smile in the darkness of its hood.
It knew what Rune was.
As the misty ship came closer, a shadowed figure walked out of a tent a the stern, as soon as he stepped down, the oarsmen stopped, and the ship drifted aground.
Felix sent a mirror duplicate of himself down to meet the shadowy figure, meanwhile, he crept around the cove and hid in the ruins of a lighthouse tower.
His duplicate drew a sword and called to the figure, (now on the beach) to present their name, why they’re here, and if they know they're not allowed.
“I know the rules. I come anyway.” the figure withdrew his hood and Felix saw his face, pale, with bright green eyes, and a smirk.
“Your magic doesn't fool me, warrior. Come out, and we shall dual.”
Felix crept down to the gray rocky beach, he noticed the oarsmen were still at their places, and then he noticed what had felt wrong about the whole ship, none of the oarsmen were alive.
He gasped and before he was able to hide the pale man had whipped around to face him.
“Were you from the continent, you would know me.”
“And I suppose you say I would be begging for mercy” Felix replied
“Oh no,” answered the figure “you be asking to die, shall we dual?”
Felix rushed at the figure and drew his sword to the man's neck. The man grabbed Felix’s arm with surprising strength and through some means pulled Felix down to his news.
“My name is Galdr, and you did not beg for death” Felix slipped out of Galdr’s grasp and lunged
at him again before he could react, Galdr dodged the sword but Felix knocked him down.
Galdr was up in a flash and now he too brandished a sword.
“So when you die you shall be my servant”
“I will not die till the end of days” Felix replied
“I am a necromancer, prophecies and the end of days do not apple to me” Galdr smiled. as he said this.
Galdr still had his smile, even in another world, only a recreation of the maze, some form of Galdr was here.
“Rune, let me deal with him, he’s too strong” Felix didn't like Rune, but if he tried his powers on Galdr, even as a ghost, something bad would be far too likely.
Felix inched forward and Galdr stopped coming closer
“At long last, we meet again. Does your prophecy still protect you here?” Ghost Galdr drew a black sword and thrust it at Felix who deflected it with his knives and lunged sideways so he and Jennifer could surround the phantom, hopefully, she would pick up on what he was doing. He realized then what had just happened.
This wasn't a real Galdr, Galdr would never have attacked first, or tried for a quick kill by stabbing straight.
The maze didn't know everything, which meant this phantom wasn't the same as Galdr.
Felix wasn't sure whether to be relieved or worried.
