The darkness was silent....it was thinking. "I suppose you may be able to help us. And in return I might be able to help you. My realm is a sort of a gateway to others. I could let you gain entry to it, this would allow you to enter any timeline or realm you wish if you can find the portal to it. Now if that does not interest you I assure you....I can do many other things for you and your father. Cylthic can help you with many things. Give him time and he might be able to summon up an army of shadows to your bidding." Cylthic merely grunted in reply. He wasn't a fan of what was going on but if his father accepted it he was just going to have to deal with it.

Chloe didn't like this deal. She didn't even like the idea of this deal. Helping this creature meant helping along a mass extinction event. She didn't want to help him; she wanted to keep him close so she could tear apart everything he builds. And that's exactly what she would do, if she was completely in charge - but if she brought this to her father, there was the risk that they would actually come to an agreement. Only now was she beginning to sense that risk.

Chloe took a deep breath.

"That all sounds... potentially useful," she admitted. "Do you have a phone number or something I can reach you with later? I need to talk to my father about this."

Cylthic chuckled slightly with her question. The darkness merely sighed "I will be in the shadows. I am all the shadows. I will be there when you wish to speak." Cylthic grinned. He knew his father wasn't exaggerating. Everytime he needed to speak to his father he would appear right on time, he somehow always knows.

For a moment, Chloe felt a tinge of real fear. Shadows were everywhere, meaning this creature, if it is to be believed, could anywhere and everywhere. Maybe this was a bad idea.

"Th-That's... convenient."

She took a breath and regained her composure. Even if it was telling the truth, her father and she had the resources to work around it. They were not out of their league. They could still thwart its plans, or at least set them back.

"Actually... that could be a pretty useful bargaining chip on your end." She went from appearing timid to optimistic. "Do you have eyes and ears in every shadow all the time, or are you only able to keep tabs on a certain number of things at a time? So I know how to pitch it to dad," she explained.

The shadows were silent. So Cylthic spoke up instead "I do not know the limits of my fathers hearing. As far as I know he can hear all. But his sight is very limited, he has little power outside his realm right now so he can only see when I am near. But even then he can only see 15 feet. No matter, the more he feeds the strong he gets." Cylthic looked to Kait with his lifeless eyes, looking right at her.

Chloe frowned and tilted her head, as though disappointed. After a beat, she shrugged.

"...Eh, that's still pretty good. I'll tell you what:"

Chloe pulled out a cellphone and prepared to write a text to her dad. "I'll talk with him about you. He might ask for a bit more info, then we'll see where we can go from there. In the meantime, Cylthic, be careful who you use that little power of yours on. There are people on this island who would kill you over doing that sort of thing."

The text to her father read: 'We made a frenemy. I need to talk to you in hell so they can't overhear.'

"Alright. I'll see be seeing you." She smiled and waved at the boy, waved at the eldritch monstrosity with the same smile, and then began to walk away.
