"Nothing, huh?" He muttered calmly. He grit his teeth, annoyed and frustrated. Honestly, he just came here so he could confirm something, he didn't think he'd need to go through such lengths to ask a single question. Free? Of course not! Time and time again, things just never wanted to go his way. He had lost his family, his ship, his body, and even his one friend wasn't his any longer.
Well, he had a pretty nice coat. He guessed there was a bright side after all. Hah, now if that's not some grade A comedy, he didn't know what was.
But she asked of him, no, expected him to surpass himself. How could he do this while he was trapped by his own fear!? To live as a corpse, unwilling to face himself or anything, hiding behind such a mask and unable to feel the warmth of a hug. It was no better than being dead.
He refused. He'd refuse all of it! He had come all this way, he would not leave until he had what he wanted. He could scale the wall, use one of the windows in order to infiltrate this place. But then he'd be just running away again. Running away from a beast, from a door, or even himself. No. No more! He would not let a door or even the world make lightly of him anymore.
Are you free?
The silence seemed to last an eternity, the only sound was the crackling of his flames. Yes, if it was so intent on taking from him, he just had to steal it back. All of it. And it started with this door. Hehe, it wasn't that difficult when you thought about it, he really was an idiot. Compared to the over complicated mess that he thought he was in, this was easy!
"Yes!" He said one final time before waving his hand to the door, focusing his flames into an explosive blast of pyre to blow it to smithereens. And on that moment, the skeleton never seemed to have smiled any brighter, or seemed so alive.
