As Milo focused he was unaware of the entities watching him the first speaking to the second

"Do you think he'll survive? No one else has."

"I'm surprised he hasn't noticed us yet"

"He's only got part of her power. But it's like he's trying to restrain it. It's surprising a mortal would do that. Why do you think he's doing that?"

"Perhaps he's afraid the power will corrupt him. Hahaha"

"Perhaps but look. The energy levels. They're decreasing"

"That's impossible. Even the others can barely keep their own power in check. How can an insignificant worm do it"

"I'm not sure..."

They fall silent as Milo opens his eyes and looks in their direction feeling uneasy like he was being watched

"Weird" he mutters as he closes his eyes focusing again

"Do you think he noticed us?"

"How could he? We're above his level"

"He looked right at us"

"A coincidence"

"But...."

They stop again as Milo looks once more "why the fuck do I feel like I'm being watched" he mutters not seeing anything again as he shakes his head and returns to his task

"We should inform the council"

"Are you insane. Everyone knows Verbilixa would rip us a new one if she caught us here. Are you stupid or something?"

"Maybe you're right. Earth is under her protection. While I can appreciate the sexy librarian look I'm not crazy enough to piss off her off"

"Exactly. Let's go. We can check back in a bit. Not like anyone else is crazy enough to to come here. We only came here to deliver a summons request. And we delivered it days ago. So we should long since be gone"

The first entity stops talking disappearing into a different level of reality and returning to wherever they came from soon followed by the cohert

"Ok. I don't feel like I'm being watched anymore." Milo says as he finishes his task of restraining the power within him
