One day, eighteen years ago, only a week or so before a certain little girl's second birthday...

A little Purity Dreamer waddles down the hall outside her room after managing to escape; and as it is right at this moment, there's no one to stop her, as her mother is busy cooking, her brother is reading in his room, and her father is away at work... She'd been put down for a nap for a while, but got up a bit earlier than anyone had been expecting, and now meanders around through the house, picking up any little thing she comes across, trying to put it in her mouth, dropping it, etc... As of now, she's made her way to the living room, where she's looking through the glass doors leading out to the lawn.

Unknown to the Dreamer family, they were being hunted this day by an Obsessive Nightmare, but she was not the only one there...

Omen was on the rooftop of the Neighboring house, he knew what could happen this day both good and bad...
The outcast was Crouched on the roof, his wings Quivered with both Nerves and excitement // I can actually talk to them today! ...maybe, hopefully I can if Jezebel doesn't crash the party, her or Killy or Hunter get mad at me again...Jeze is crazy but be to scare if she knows I'm here, its just Killy, he doesn't really like kids but I have to do this or Jeze might do something bad to my friends and Hunter never said I couldn't uh, stop by a visit today, it is really close to Pooty's birthday... // Omen then facepalm // Ahhh! I knew to forget something! I wanted to make something for Pooty! Hunter had me so busy I didn't have time to do anything nice...I hope Pooty won't be upset with me that I couldn't make her anything, I hope she doesn't think I'm a bad friend for that...// the outcast thought, looking over to the Dreamer house.

Of course, the little Dreamer in her human form is oblivious to all the things going on around her, all she's interested in is the outdoors. She walks up and presses her face and her hands up against the glass doors, trying to babble and slobber on the door before hitting on it a couple times, trying to get out... She's trying her hardest to figure out how to open the simple doors, and eventually Purity extends her ribbons enough to reach up to the door handle...

Omen was getting Antsy, he really wanted to meet Purity and Terra personally but things needed a little help in order for things to happen.
The outcast look around to see if anyone was watching, he then played with one of his arm band and made a little glowing and Screen in front of himself, Omen moved his fingers across the Hologram surface, he was Temporarily disarming the Dreamer home Security spells.

Omen then focused on a glass door, he put out a hand as he Whispered his Enchantment, the doorknob slowly turned and with a change of a spell a little Gentle breeze eased the door opened...

Purity Dreamer stands there just a moment longer as the door opens up before waddling out onto the patio, giggling and babbling excitedly to herself. She gets down on her hands and knees to crawl faster to the grass, not caring about whether or not her clean white dress will get dirty at this age, and starts trying to stick handfuls of grass in her mouth.

Omen Watched as the little girl came out of her home. He turned his head to look around to see if anyone else was watching... Deciding it was safe or as safe as it could be for the outcast, Omen drop down from the rooftop and landed Quietly thanks to using his wings.

Omen then took off one of his gloves and pulled out a ring...he Stared at the ring for a moment, he didn't like his disguise for many reasons but he couldn't just show himself as he was right now// oh Hi! I'm Judas a Vaseterm but most who know me call Omen the devil of the night, I'm a world killer... yeah that never go over well, at least I can be friends with Pooty and Terra in my disguise...// he turned the silver band in his fingers, that was one of the reasons why he didn't like his disguise, it was fake, people never could see him as he really was, just like people couldn't see Omen for what he really was...who Judas really was.

Omen sighed and slipped the ring on one of his fingers and Immediately his appearance changed , his silvery white hair became black as night, his war paint on his skin vanished and a Light dusting of freckles was now on his face but one thing never changed and that was his Chaos markings on his lower arms... Omen rubbed his bare hand, he would like his disguise more if it could do something about those marks, hid them or better yet made it to were he could touch others without hurting them but it didn't...this Chaos markings were still there just like the ones on his back and lower legs, nothing he knew could remove them, a Constant reminder that he a weapon of destruction.
Omen didn't want to Linker on those thoughts anymore and slip his glove back on, hiding his markings ones again, the outcast then fidgeted with his clothes, he wore a long sleeved Sweater like top, he had a tan under Shirt
with a greenish tie that match this sweater. He had tan slacks, with Black-and-white saddle oxfords Shoes.
He looked plan in his own eyes but he just look like a normal classic man.

Omen took a Nervous deep breath before putting his hands in his pockets and walking out into the open // what if she doesn't like me? Na, were friends! I know we will be, she one of the hero! Faye knew what he was doing, he said to trust the kings and who they picked and look after them... I have // a big grin came on Omen face with his next though// EEEEEEEEE!! AND THEIR FINAL HERE AND IM GOING TO MEET TWO OF THEM TODAY FOR THE REALLY, REAL FIRST TIME! NOT JUST SPYING ON THEM BUT TALK TO THEM!!! // it was very hard for the outcast to Contain his excitement.

The little Dreamer girl doesn't notice the Devil of the Night coming down until he's already walking towards her, at which point Purity looks up at him, and stops playing with the grass. She doesn't quite grasp the fear of strangers yet, so naturally she stares at this stranger a moment before pointing at his sweater and announcing what color it is. "Geen!"

Omen was holding back a Squael at least on the outside// Awww! she cute!! // he look down at his Sweater and pointed at it " Green!" He replied and tossed his hands in the air excitedly.

" that right Pooty! Its green! I'm glad I picked a color you liked or uh know for a first time meeting, meeting, like really meeting were we can talk and see each other face to face " the outcast rabble as he rubbed the back of his head, he didn't have a lot of experience with children and didn't fully understand a lot of what he was saying would just go over the poor little girl head.

Purity gives the stranger a big smile after seeing how excited he is, though there's a new discovery she feels she needs to warn him about. The Dreamer fawn bends down and pats the grass with one hand, declaring, "Geen! Ick," before blowing a loud raspberry at the grass. I guess she learned she doesn't like the taste of grass...

Omen eyes widened at that, even though the little girl was babbling he picked up on what she was trying to wron him about " yeah, grass doesn't taste very good " he makes a silly face, sticking his tongue out.

Seen the topic was on taste and eating things, Judas assumed the girl was hungry, he Reached into his pocket and pulled out a fortune cookie, the outcast Kneel down and held out his cookie to Purity " this taste better then grass, a lot better! And it comes with a little paper inside that tells you, your fortune but I wouldn't believe everything it says, I don't really think they can predict the future more like just tell you Obvious things or things you want to hear..." after saying this the outcast Frowns " except the ones I always get are Jerks, maybe it's a Competitive thing?" He rabble thinking outloud

Purity almost wobbles a bit as she stands up and looks at the outcast again, but she looks intensely focused as he explains and offers the cookie to her. She hardly takes in any of what he said, but what she does might not be so good... "Papa? Je... Jek?" she asks, pointing at the fortune cookie before taking it with her ribbons and stuffing it right in her mouth, sucking on the cookie rather than chewing it, with a rather thoughtful look on her face.

Omen just watch the little girl take the cookie, her using ribbons instead of her hands didn't bother the outcast, he knew for Dreamer ribbons were their hands... even though Purty ribbons were from her head.

" yeah. I gotten some really jerk ones before, but at least the cookies taste good " Omen simply replied.
The outcast look over in a Direction, there wasn't anything there that stood out but Judas knew what led beyond normal sight... to normal people Omen look like nothing out of the ordinary guy, but to those who could see Aura would know this wasn't any normal guy, but Judas done this for a reason.
Judas want Certain creatures to know who he was even though the outcast was in a disguise. That Omen was here so back off if they knew what was good for them.

"Oooey?" Purity tries to mumble with her mouth full, still making a rather funny face with her ribbons in her mouth. While she's still growing in her baby teeth, she does have some, and at one point, Purity tries to bite down on the cookie--biting one of her little ribbons in the process. "Ow!" Purity yelps, letting the fortune cookie fall out of her mouth as well as her facial feelers, and then she starts to cry...

Omen snapped his attention back to the little girl started to cry, a new since of panic came over Judas " Its! Ok! Its Ok!!" He waved his hands frantically.

He puts this hands on top his Noggin with a freak out look. // WHAT DO I DO?! HOW DO I STOP IT?! // Omen look towards the Dreamer house knowing others were inside// SOMEONE GOING TO HEAR HER! // he turned back to the crying Purity
The outcast put a finger up to his lips and " Shhhh! It ok! I'll get something for you if you stop ok? Be right back!" And with that Omen stood up and took off his glove and ring *poof*

Standing before the little girl was Omen in his true appearance, silver hair, black wings and all. The outcast gave his wings a flap and teleport away.

Without even realizing it, Purity does just as Omen says and stops crying when his appearance suddenly changes and he teleports away. Sure, she whimpers a little more, but now she's just confused as to where her new friend went, and she starts looking around. "... Bird?" Purity calls, perhaps thinking Omen is a bird now, "Geen?"

It didn't take long before the Vaseterm Teleported back, Omen didn't waste any time Changing his appearance again by putting his ring back on and then his glove.

The outcast could still feel his heart Racing, worried that something bad would happen if the girl didn't stop crying but much to his relief he spotted Purity Wandering in the yard. Omen walks up to the little girl and Kneels down once again " Pooty, I have a magic trick to show you~" he smile and move his hands so she could see them, he moved his hands like a Magician would do and *poof* Suddenly the black haired man now had a White rose in one hand " for you my lady " he offered the flower to the little girl.

After this it finally hit the outcast that why no one was coming was because he had placed a Soundproof spell so no one heard them // Judas Duh!! Sound magic, no one can hear her crying...but just because no one could hear her dosen't mean she wouldn't stop. She looks better right now so that good... I didn't think leaving kids alone would make them stop crying, I have to remember that, not like I get to spend a lot of time around kids //

"Geen!" Purity exclaims when Omen comes back, but she goes quiet and watches him curiously as he explains his next gift for her. The Dreamer girl is captivated while he mysteriously brings the flower to existence, her purple eyes widen, and she points at it almost in shock. "Fowah!"

Omen nodded his head to the little girl " I knew this was one of your favorites flowers...I know it's not much of a Birth day gift but it's all I can give at the moment..." he got quite at the end as he just holds out the flowers, Judas wished he could have given more but like he said it was all he could do or that what he thought. He didn't put in Consideration his actions, by being there keep Jezebel away and he didn't even consider his actions would leave any mark on the Dreamer lives.

"Fowah," Purity says again as she takes the flower from Omen, and shoves her face right into it to smell it with a little exagerrated inhale. Just as quickly, she pulls her head back, her face covered in pollen now, and starts sneezing.

Omen Chuckled at the like girl sneezing, he then mimicked her and sneezed to just to be silly. He grind at the little girl but then realized that why she was sneezing so he too his sleeve and wiped the pollen off of Purity face " all clean now! No more achoo!"

The outcast then look over at a playset in the yard and his face light up " Pooty! What to go play? That looks like a fun thing " he said standing up and staring heading in that direction.

Judas wasn't used to children, he knew they like to play but he lack understanding in that someone as small as Purity couldn't walk as fast or would get tired quickly, they often wanted to be picked up or helped but Judas didn't know this yet

Purity sneezes again before being able to pay attention to what Omen is suggesting, and she scrunches her face up when he wipes the pollen off, then she watches him start to head off. Of course she's going to try waddleing after him, but indeed, that's going to take her a little while...

The playset is relatively small, with two pairs of swings, two of which are more suited to hold children like Purity's age, and a small tower-like build to the side that has a slide attatched to it. Despite being small, it all looks very elaborate and pretty, like a fairytale princess' tower.

This isn't what gets Purity's attention when she finally makes it over there though, it's the sandbox close by that does, and she waddles over to it with her flower in hand. "Fowah bed!" she says, pointing at the sand and looking up at Omen.

Omen had made it over to the playset before tiny Purity did, he was looking over all the different things and how it was made and thinking about how it all worked. He had seen playset before and of course played on them but they were always something that grab his attention... he never had anything like this as a child but knew normal kids did and that something a part of him wanted, to have been like a normal child with toys and friends...

The outcast had Squeezed himself into the tower and pop his Fluffy head out one of the opening when he heard Purity call out " a Flower bed?" He then try to squeeze himself back out to go Investigate his friends Discovery

Purity climbs into the sandbox and sits down, not waiting for Omen to join her. She sets the flower off to the side, starts digging out a little hole with her hands and ribbons, then puts the rose in the whole, but on its side, and starts covering up its stem and leaves. Once she's done with this, she gently pats the sand over the flower, leans forward on her hands and knees, and gives the flower petals a big kiss. "Night night, fowah!"

Omen had finally got himself out of the tower, he dusted himself off as he walked over to the little girl. He got there right as she started covering up the rose, he tipped his head not sure what she was doing but be though hay! She one of the key hunters so it must be something grand! He watch as Purity kiss the flower// uh?.... did she just form a life bond with it?...// he had a slight internal panic attack but it left just as fast as it came, remembering kids can't form life bonds and he was pretty sure one couldn't bond with a flower, not to mention she was a Dreamer not a Vaseterm anyway.

One that though was set a side, the outcast facepalm " Oh!! I see now! Good night! Flowers bed! It's the flower bed, bed! " he Crouched down to look at the sleeping rose " I didn't know it was really a bed for flowers to sleep in, that really cool! " he grinned

The little Dreamer girl grins up at Omen without really knowing what he's saying, and she plops down and pats the flower's blanket of sand again. "Fowah go night night," she simply states.

But then another voice interrupts their fun time...

"HEY!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY SISTER!?" Terradream yells, standing between the glass doors in his true form. He looks rather scrawny for a Dreamer in his teens, and his cloud mane seems to have grown over his eyes a bit... That aside, he looks like he's almost ready to charge at and maul Omen, and even Sparky is an agitated orange/red color.

Purity jumps when she hears her brother, and she leans around Omen to see him. "Tea!" she declares, pointing at him.

Omen flinched getting yelled at, his eyes widened knowing who it was // it Terry! Yeah! I'm glad its him and not his mom! I was really hoping I get to talk with Terry! // he thought exactly but then remember the Angry Dreamer question.

Omen turned with a finger up to his lips " shhhh" and then added in a Loud whisper " the flower is sleeping, your going to wake it up!" He Gestured to the Pile of sand " Pooty just put it to bed! "

Terra curls his lip at the nickname Omen gave Purity, but not because of the nickname itself--"'Pooty'? 'Pooty'?! Is that a stupid nickname?! How do you know her name?!" he demands, glaring at the stranger from under his cloudy mane. He's too edgy and upset to care about waking up the sleeping rose.

But Purity seems a bit upset at Terra's tone, and she frowns at him and says, "Tea! Fowah!"

"That not very nice! it's not a stoopid nickname " Omen snapped back with an Insulted look, he then too frowns with the little Dreamergirl" I agree Pooty, he going to wake up the flower!"

" Pooty and I are friends and your been a... " the outcast casually leaned over and covered the little girl ears to say " butt! " after saying this he uncover Purity ears and fold his arms frowning at the edgy teen // he so grumpy, I heard teens could be Grumpy but he didn't say Hi or anything! just started to yell at me! were supposed to be friends! ... oh, maybe he a friend like Mal? Lots of yelling and saying Mean and nasty things and try to hurt or kill me kind of friends? I didn't think so...but...// Judas was trying to figure out why Terra was being so Hostile towards him, exactly since he was in his Disguise, the Dreamer shouldn't know he really Omen so why was he freaking out?

But as his mind was trying to grasp what was upsetting Terradream Something caught Omen attention and now its was Distracting him...the outcast was just starting at Terra and was Blinking // can he really see me? He doesn't have eyes it's all floof! //

Purity just looks confused when Omen covers her ears.

Terra goes quiet for just a moment when the outcast explains that he and Purity are friends, as there's a lot going through his head. He knows Purity's birthday is coming up, and birthdays have been a fearful time for this family... How would this stranger know Purity's name? Unless... he's a Nightmare or some other monster in disguise, working for /her/...? "She's too young to know what a friend is," Terradream growls, "and I don't know who the hell you think you are, but I know you're not family or friends with my mom or Solace, so stop acting like you know us, you *he says a no-no word* stalker!!"

Omen let out a loud gasps at what the edgy Dreamer teen said, he quickly try to cover Purity ears again " that savage Terry! That a no,no word! I should Get a bar of soap and wash your mouth out! Exactly in front of Purity! Shame on you! " the outcast scolded.

" Just because me and Pooty are friend doesn't mean you have to be so mean and nasty! you shouldn't keep pushing people away! It's not good for you or those around you! " Omen huffed and moved his hands from the little Dreamer and folded his arms again, with a pouty look on his face// what you mean she to young? By the age of 2 I knew everyone name in the Compound, of course she know my name! Were friends! I seen she one of the key hunters! Their the good guys! // he looked at Terra, the Angry teen was making Judas Nervous // then again Terra a big butt right now//

//Who is he to try and give me advice?!// Terra thinks to himself, though he still hasn't moved from his spot between the doors. "We /don't know you!/ D-don't you get that?! I don't know who or what you are!" he snaps back at Omen, "How do I know you're not a N-Nightmare or some other monster in disguise that's going to kill us?!"

At this point, Purity's getting upset with all this shouting and all the tension around her, and she tries to prove the Devil of the Night is a friend now too. "Tea! He bird!" she tries to explain, going up and patting Omen's leg, and then shapeshifting into a tiny little fuzzy Venatavis with a cloud mane and ribbons, "Birb! Geen bird! Tea birb!"

Omen rolled his eyes when Terra went on about Accusing him of being a Nightmare, sure if the outcast wanted to kill Terra and his family he could but he wasn't order to do that and Killy for the moment didn't want to waste his energy on a shrimp of a kid.

Taking a hand the outcast point at his head " just because my hair black doesn't mean I'm automatically a Nightmare " he Sarcastic said and made a duh face. Judas wanted to say more, give an explanation who and what he was but knew he couldn't tell the truth but most of all, Judas had got Distracted...

Letting out a loud Squeal seen the tiny dream Venatavis, Omen picked Purity up and held her in front of himself " Your so Adorable!! Look how fluffy and poofy and cute and cuddly you are! Dreamer are so lucky! I'm so jelly! But your so adorable!" He was completely gushing about the tiny key hunter

Naturally Terra's not going to let his guard down when Omen tells him he's not a Nightmare, but he was just about to ease up just a tiny bit... Until Omen started squealing about how cute Purity is. That kind of behaviour drags him back down memory lane to the day his father died at the hands of that despicable pink Nightmare, and Terradream freezes in place, his wide eyes locked on Omen... Though you couldn't see it under his cloud mane...

"Hey, hey, Terra," Sparky quickly but quietly tries to get to his partner before he gets too lost in the trauma, flying over, sitting on Terra's nose, and looking at where he assumes Terra's eyes are, "Terra, focus on me and take a deep breath... He's a stranger, but he's not her, just try and focus on me, 'k buddy...?"

Meanwhile, Purity just giggles at how silly Omen is, and she starts trying to tickle him with her little claws and ribbons. "Tick, tick, tick!"

At this point Its more Judas childish side then anything else, the outcast started laughing at the tiny Venatavis trying to tickle him, he couldn't help himself and nuzzled the tiny fluffy ball with his face like he would his pet birds at his Palace, he couldn't use his bare hands in fear of killing smaller creatures but his face he could touch to feel and not hurt things, as long as he didn't bite.

" Ahhh! Your so soft! Eeeeee I love birds! Your so lucky you can be birds! Eeee!" Omen Continued to Gushing over Purity and how fluffy she was in between his laughter and was playing along about being Ticklish.

You would think this much Commotion would have draw the attention of the Dreamers mother but unknown to them when Omen mess with their Security system he also add his own spell, Omen was a master with sounds magic and place a barrier around the house so those inside could not hear what was happening outside, the only way they would know is if they just so happened to look out the right window, like what Terradream had done.

"We need to go about this carefully, Terra," Sparky continues whispering to his partner, "No, we don't know if he's actually a threat or not, but if he is, we need to deal with him calmly and logically... But, he's been out here alone with Purity for at least a little bit and he hasn't done anything to her, so maybe he's not... Either way, we need to be careful, Terra, and you need to be able to focus..."

At this point, Terradream is shaking and has tears starting to well up in his eyes, but when Sparky flies off his nose and back to the top of his head, letting him look at Omen again, Terra manages to take two shaky steps forward before freezing up again. "... H-hey... P-put her down...!" he weakly tries to shout at Omen, though it's... not very effective, and even his voice sounds as shaky as he is, while Purity just laughs and giggles as she plays with Omen.

Judas stopped when Terra Try to shout at him, he wasn't a Dreamer of old but even he could tell how Distraught the teen was and he had listened in on the Fairfin Pep talk...

" Alright Terra." The outcast said simply, there was something different in his tone, it was a little more serious, he nuzzled Purity one last time and Whispered to her but not so quiet that otherscouldn't hear " you got a good big brother... scary but he cares for you "

"your Fairfin is right, you need to /keep your head/ it's a bad habit to rush without knowing what you're getting into...its good to question, /they/ will need that...but taking action on assumptions is a Double edged sword, you might be right or you might be wrong....ether way, like any weapon you should know just who and what your really pointing at...not everything is at face value, and lifes could be at risk..."
Omen said to Terra but he wasn't looking at him because he setting the little Venatavis down and patted her head with one hand and had a gentle smile at her" thanks for playing with me Pooty... I don't get to many days like this and you made it a fun one.." with his other hand he pulled out a small silver coin and handed it to the little girl... " it's a lucky coin "

It had Markings and symbols in a language unknown to this world, on one side was a picture of What could be taken as a unicorn as the other side look like a Phoenix.

Judas then stood up and faced the young Dreamer buck, the outcast look for a moment different, he held himself tall and Straight, he had a gentle but Serious look on his face and looked like he was about to say more on the topic he brought up to Terradream but then Omem got Distracted looking at the edgy teen with his clouds bangs covering his eyes.

Omen Tipped his head and blow his own bangs, he did it again like that was supposed to move Terra's, seem that didn't work, the outcast waved a hand in front of the Dreamer " how can you see though all that? Is that why you need glasses? " he asked making a goofy face, Omen then waved both his hands in front of himself " can you see this? "

Purity hugs Omen's face when he nuzzles her the last time, but looks rather mystified when he whispers. "Tea big," is all she tries to whisper back, promptly plopping down on her hiney when she's set down. Her big purple eyes then widen when she's gifted the lucky coin, and she takes it with her ribbons to admire it. Upon seeing the phoenix on one side, she squeaks, "Bird!"

Terra on the other hand, has become very confused; At first he tensed up even more when Omen so calmly agreed to put his sister down, watched him with suspicion when he handed Purity some shiny little object, then again he was rather unsettled when Omen turned to look at him so seriously, even with the gentleness in his face. Then... Omen started acting goofy again, and made it seem uncanny to Terra how he flip-flopped so quickly. Terradream takes one shaky step forward, then another... and finally answers, "... I... I can see..." before stopping in place, not even really that close to the Devil of the Night yet.

" really?"Omen replied with a doubtful look on his face " with your eyesight paired with the overgrowth of your bangs that like a 75% Disadvantage to your depth perception and overall visual performance " he Stated and then the outcast held up 4 fingers to see if Terra could really see them "how many figures am I holding up?"

"F-four..." Terradream quietly replies, hesitating just a moment before slowly using one of his ribbons to pull his bangs up off his eyes.

Omen place his hands beside his face and gasped " oh moons, he does have eyes!" He turned and looked down at the tiny Venatavis " did you see that to?"

Purity did not, in fact, see what Omen is talking about, though she does whip around to see Terra holding his bangs up. Thus, she turns back to Omen, shape-shifts to her true form, covers her own eyes with her ribbons, then pulls them away with a cheery little, "Boo!" and a smile.

Terra just stands there in unease and silence.

Omen gasped like he was surprise when Purity play peekaboo, he then pointed at her and looked back at Terra " did you see that! She played a you! "

The outcast then looked back at the tiny Dreamer foun and covered his eyes and then moved them mimicking the girl " Boo!"

"Boo!" Purity cheers again, giggling and laughing and just having a blast.

Again, Terradream stays quiet as he watches the stranger and his sister. He's slowly going over the different things Omen has said in his head, and one of those things sticks out to him... "H-... How do you know m-my name...?"

Omen Repeated what he did seen the little fawn got a kick out of it.

However he Pause In between his game to reply to Terra " Pooty told me" which was a lie even though the little girl did call to her brother.

Omen then went back to playing the game of peekaboo

"... Sh-she doesn't know how t-to say my name, she can only call m-me Tea..." Terra informs the strange stranger, raising an eyebrow with suspicion.

Omen leaned over and cup a hand to Whisper to the little Fawn " I don't think that true, your the one who tells me his name so I don't know what he going on about do you?

The outcast then look at Terradream with a suspicious look as well though his wasn't Discrete at all, he put a hand to his chin and did a loud " Hmmmmm "

Purity has absolutely no idea what Omen is whispering about, so she instead holds out her new lucky coin with one ribbon and points at it with the other. "Birb!" she exclaims again.

Terradream takes some more nervous steps forward and glances down at the coin Purity is holding before looking back to Omen. "... How long ha-have you been stalking us? A-and why...?" he quietly asks.

Omen tosses his arms up at that " why does everyone call it stalking?!" He then folded his arms and made a pouty face " I stop to check up on friends! But Noooo your stalking! Your a weirdo! "After his small rant the outcast puffed out his cheeks making a Over exaggerated pouty face

"I don't /know you,/" Terradream firmly declares, still keeping a clear sense of nervousness to his tone, and slowly reaches down with his spare ribbon to try and pull Purity away from Omen's side as he continues, "I've never s-seen you before, I don't even know y-you're name, you're a complete stranger to me--we're not friends..."

Omen was going to Argue however Noticed Terra trying to pull Purity away, at first he Reached out but stopped...it finally clicked for Judas, yeah maybe in the future they might know him but he was a Stranger now, they were not friends, and it was possible they never would be...he would be their enemy in the future, the devil of the night...

Judas arm fell to his side and he looked down at the floor with that Realization " I...I only wanted to be friends..." he said barely in a whisper with the sound of Defeat heavy in his tone.

" ...can I say goodbye at least?" The outcast asked looking up at the young teenager Dreamer, he was forcing a smile but it couldn't hide how broken he really was.

At this, Terradream gets very quiet. His first thought is to tell this stranger no, he can't say good bye, even with how broken his spirit seems to be in his eyes, Terra doesn't care about this random guy who somehow knows his name as well as his sister's... But at the same time, the Dreamer /is/ still nervous because he doesn't know this man, he's still wondering if he's some monster with an ulterior motive, or if he's just some mentally unstable person who escaped confinement, so he isn't quite sure how to handle this...

After a solid minute of standing there, menacingly, with a slight glare, Terra finally grumbles, "F-fine, you can tell her good bye, then get the hell away from here and don't come back, you... Y-you..." He stops himself from calling Omen a name.

Purity, meanwhile, is confused as to why her big brother is pulling her away from Omen, giving Terra a confused look upon seeing how angry he seems, and then giving Omen the same look, hearing how upset he sounds. "Geen?"

"I understand .." Omen meekly nodded in agreement to the moody teenager demands

He looked to Terra timidly as if he was making sure the edgy teenager wasn't going to pull a fast one on him and Falcon punch the outcast with his ribbons... once Omen Convince himself that Terra wasn't going to punch him the outcast turned to the little fawn, he Kneel down and did yet again another Nervous glace at Terra just to make absolutely sure he wasn't going to get Falcon punch and then Omen finally turned his full attention on Purity.
" I have to go now Pooty " Judas said with a sad smile " thanks for playing with me and showing me how to put flowers to bed, it been a short day off but I'm okay with that, I had fun and I hope you did to, you have a good birthday and I wish you many more good ones to come" Judas then took one of Purity ribbons in one hand and bowed his head like a knight bowing before a princess as he made this promise " that is my gift to you, Purity "

Though Purity or Terra would not know what this Strange man meant by that, that Judas just promised as long as it was in his power Purity would not have to suffer a fate like her brother did with a birthday party.

" Farewell lady Purity, until we meet again, look after your brother, he'll need you " Judas look up at fawn, he smile but Tears started to run down his face. unlike them the outcast knew it would be years before they could meet again and he knew things would be different, he had hope that he could be friends with the key hunters but the bitter truth was Omen would also be their enemy.

Judas then get up and take his arm and wiped his face as he Sniffled, he then looked toward Terradream but the sadness had been replaced with a much more serious Expression " your a good brother Terry, your lucky you have someone to look after but if you want to keep her safe your going to have to take care of yourself " his Amethyst eyes bore right into Terra's as he said " as you are right now you couldn't stop anyone from hurting her, you can't even stop yourself"

After saying that Judas then broke his eye lock on Terra and started to walk away " if you really want to protect your sister then I suggest staying away from the south east of the city for the next two months, I don't think I have to tell you why any party stores or children Conventions would end poorly if you do not heed my warning "

Purity watches Omen with a rather confused look still on her face as he explains he has to go, and she just stands there when he takes her ribbon and bows to her. When he tears up, though, she shape-shifts back to her human form and holds out her arms, wanting to give him a hug, but Terra pulls her back a bit more to make sure that doesn't happen. "Geeeeen...!" she whines, looking up and pouting at her brother, but it doesn't change anything.

Terradream watches the stranger closely, noticing his body language and how timid he seems, but Terra is only suspicious of all of this. He tenses up a little when Omen brings up birthdays, but he bites his lip and waits until the stranger stands up again. Once again, he's taken aback by how serious Omen suddenly is, and he takes a careful step backwards with one ribbon around Purity.

But, when Omen is done speaking, Terra doesn't say a word, he just stands there and watches the stranger turn to leave...

Purity on the other hand, looks back to Omen when he starts walking away, and pauses a moment before putting her hand over her mouth. She keeps her hand there for a second before throwing her arm out to the side with a loud "Mmmmwah!", unintentionally whacking Terra in the process. "Bye-bye!"

The teenage Dreamer glances down at his sister when she whacks him, and quickly scolds her in a whisper, saying, "No, you d-don't blow kisses to strangers..." before letting his bangs down and picking her up with both his ribbons.

"Kishes!" Purity repeats, blowing another kiss in Omen's direction.

Omen glace over his shoulder and smirked at Purity, he then lifted a hand for a Gesture he was leaving in a half wave but he never stopped walking, kinda, the outcast dramatic goodbye was ruined when he wasn't paying attention to were he was going and tipped, Judas let out a Squawk as he Stumbled forward, he Manage to catch himself and then made a goofy face back at the two Dreamers " there was a plot hole " he waved bye again and this time he just put his hands in his pocket and went on his way. It wasn't long before the outcast was out of site out from the two

While he doesn't question very hard whether the man said 'plot hole' or 'pot hole,' the thought does pass through Terradream's mind for at least a few seconds while he watches Omen leave. Then, feeling vulnerable being out in the yard with only Purity, he quickly but cautiously makes his way back to the house with his sister still held in his ribbons. Terra sets Purity down once they're inside, and goes to pull the glass doors closed, though he can't help but notice: //The door was unlocked, the security system was deactivated... There's no way Purity could've gotten outside if either of those were in place, and Mom's not dumb enough to leave doors unlocked and turn off the security for no reason... He must've done that to let her out...// Terra narrows his eyes under his cloud bangs at that.

After fixing the security sytem and locking the door again, Terra looks down at his little sister, who's shaking the coin up and down in her ribbons. "Give me that," he quietly snaps at her, grabbing the coin away from her with his own ribbon and greatly upsetting her in the process. //... What kind of coin is this? I've never seen these symbols before...// Terra ponders to himself for a brief moment, a very brief moment indeed, as he quickly wraps his free ribbon around his whining sister's arm and walks off with her to find their mother.

In the kitchen, Summer's Dream (in her human form) stops getting things together to do the laundry now with her hand and ribbons once she hears her pouting daughter and her son's hooves, and she turns around with a very concerned look on her face. "Terra, what--"

"A creep somehow m-managed to shut off our security system and unlocked the doors for Purity to go outside," Terra quickly explains, wasting no time getting right to the point, "I saw her outside i-in the yard with him, and he was acting like a delusional freak..."

Of course Summer's Dream was alarmed at this news, she knew it had to be true by the way her son was freaking out, however, she didn't want to add to the situation so she calmly asked, "First, are you and Purity alright? Did this man do anything to hurt either one of you?" She could tell that they looked fine, but she wasn't there to see for herself.

"W-we're fine," Terra snaps back to his mother, letting go of Purity, "He d-didn't do anything to either of us, he just gave a threat th-that we should avoid the south-east part of town f-for the next two months, and stupid kids things..."

"Mummy!" Purity whines, trying to use her own ribbons to reach Terra's and get her coin back, "Teeaaahh took mmm bird!"

Terra just ignores his sister and continues, "The (he calls Omen another no-no name) wouldn't g-give me his name, but he had black hair, purple eyes, freckles, and w-wore a green sweater with beige pants... H-he had black gloves too, and was acting l-like he was a fawn too, even though he looked at least like he was in his mid to late twenties..."

After Terra explains this, Sparky chimes in as well with his own thoughts, and says, "He could've been a good guy though, he didn't /directly/ threaten anyone, just kinda gave a warning, and since the guards on rotation aren't here yet, maybe he was just checking up on things...? He also tried giving Tea here some good advice about watching himself, though we'll have to see if it sticks to him or not..."

Summer was patient with her son as he explained with his sassy tone, but there was one thing she didn't tolerate: "Terra, your language, don't say those words in front of your sister."

After she scolded her son, Summer waited until Terra and Sparky were both done talking, she shifted her weight to one foot as she thought things over. It was all very suspicious, this strange man showing up and then telling Terra these things, but Sparky could be right to, "I'll have to talk with your father and see if he knows anyone by that description, he could be one of the undercover agents, but it's odd that he'd show himself if he was..."

She noticed her daughter pulling at Terra but didn't think much about it at the moment, what was more important was that Purity got out without the alarm going off and this stranger showing up, but the mother could tell her son was still freaking out. "Terra, can you keep an eye on your sister and make sure she doesn't go outside again, I'm going to the alarm system to call Solace."

"He's n-not /my/ father," Terradream snaps back, then huffs at the rest of what his mother tells him, muttering, "Fine," before grabbing Purity's hand with his ribbon again and turning to head back to his room, regardless of the fit she's throwing.

But as Terra's leaving, the Fairfin on his head sighs and looks back to Summer, and Sparky says, "I'll look after both of 'em, don't worry, and I'll give your boy a talking to, too!"

"Thank you Sparky," the mother reply to her son's Fairfin, Summer then let out a sigh when Terra left with little Purity. //Terra...// she thought worriedly, then went to take care of all that she said she was going to.

Once he's back in his room, Terra lets go of Purity's hand and momentarily distracts his sister by holding her coin far out of her reach, locking the door behind him while she's not looking. Then, he ignores her and heads over to his desk, where he sets the coin down and pulls out a notebook and pencil.

Sparky flies up and off of Terra's head, watching his partner for a moment, before he flies over to Purity, who's having a truly terrable time. "Hey kiddo, want a cookie...?"

"Mm-mmm..." Purity mumbles, her face all red from crying and pouting and wet with tears, "Want ookie..."

Sparky nods his head and flies over to his partner's bed, waiting a moment for Purity to follow him and join him there before he flies over to Terra's mane.

"Hey...!" the edgy teenager snaps when he feels Sparky rustling through his cloud mane.

To which Sparky sasses back, "Hey, you're not doing anything for her right now, I told your mom I'd look after /both/ of you, don't be all feisty with me!"

Terra frowns at this, but he doesn't stop his Fairfin from taking a cookie out of his mane, choosing instead to continue sketching Omen's face as best as he is able.

Sparky then heads back over to Purity and offers her the cookie, and pats her on the head when she sticks it in her mouth. "There ya go, kiddo, don't cry... You're alright."

With Purity a bit calmer and at least occupied for now, the yellow mouse Fairfin looks back to his partner, and flies back over to him, landing on his shoulder and watching him for a moment before he speaks up. "... You know, that creep had some pretty good advice, despite being a creep..."

"Shut up," Terra mumbles.

"Language, Terra, there's a toddler here," Sparky scolds in return, "Don't go and end up spoiling Purity's purity."

"I d-don't care..." Terra again mumbles.

Breathing out a long sigh, Sparky turns a bit more orange in color as he hops off of Terra's shoulder and onto his notebook, getting right in the Dreamer's way. "He was right, you know, with how you are right now, you're going to end up with Nightmare Syndrome..."

Terradream just frowns at his Fairfin for a moment, then lightly tries to nudge him out of the way with his ribbon. "... I'm not g-going to turn..." he almost whispers, not even looking at Sparky through his bangs.

"Yeah? How do you know?" Sparky asks, pushing back against Terra's ribbon and being stubborn in his spot.

"I don't feel l-like hurting anyone o-or anything..." Terra replies, "And... And I'll let you know if I f-feel... evil or something..."

"Terra, you know there's more to it than that," Sparky says, "Nightmare Syndrome starts with bitterness and hate, where do you think all of this edginess is going to lead you?"

The young buck goes quiet then, and stops trying to push Sparky away. "... I haven't got it yet, I won't get it... I-I'll be fine..."

Sparky puffs his cheeks out at his partner's reply, knowing for sure that he's going to have to watch him closely... But, for now he relents, and waddling off of Terra's notebook and over to the mysterious coin. "... So, you ever gonna give this back to Purity?"

"No."

"Never?"

"Never."

"Not even when she's older?"

"It's mine now..."

"Oooookay..."
