“Get back in your skull.”
Hrothbert sneers at the command, but the curse demands obedience. Slower than necessary, allowing his displeasure to be known, he dissolves into thick black smoke and sinks through the skull's eyes, disappearing completely.
Within, he has only the vaguest sense of what goes on outside – comings and goings, muffled indecipherable voices. His own thoughts are the loudest distraction, and he allows them full rein.
When his master recalls him, he will have no knowledge of the dozens of ways he has died in Hrothbert's mind.
Someday, Hrothbert vows, he will choose the best.
