(I'mma start with reposts!)

Terra smiles faintly at Fiona and her optimism. He nods in return to her first question, but then his smile fades some when she asks her second. "Uh... No, not quite I uh--I must not have explained it very well..." he mutters apologetically, "Th-this is to help Nora with something... I got this bag when we were i-in the infirmary, remember? ... Mmm..." He stops and rubs his chin with one of his ribbons, glancing once at Sparky. "... It's... It's one of those things... It--it's kind of like an elevator, I'm fine with it, b-but I think you'd probably freak out about it..."
... Though after saying that, he does sarcastically think to himself, //Oh, sure, the Nightmare King is like an elevator... I never thought I'd make that comparison...//
"... I guess I sh-should go take care of that before l-looking into anything relating to me coming back to life, th-that way I won't have to keep that bag anymore..."

"That's right! Yeah, I remember that." Fiona nodded, then went quiet. A faint hint of concern settled into her expression with his 'explanation'... "What? Elevators don't... They don't freak me out /that/ much..." She made a face after she stated this.

A face that said this fact was false, and she knew it.

But soon afterwards, she went back to her slightly concerned look. "...I trust you, though. If you're fine with it, then it... Must be ok... Whatever it is. I-I'm sure you'll do a great job!" The worry in her face worsened--at least until she paused, then asked something else, "...But... What about the stuff Queen Victoria and Osiris told you about coming back to life? I tried looking into that some... Last night? But things happened...
...Can you tell me about that?"

Ai nuzzled Judas's neck, "You not gonna lose me, I find help, okay?" she breathed in deeply, embedding his scent deep into her memory and nose. "You no go more crazy, no hurt yourself anymore, I gonna save your eye!"

Then the vision shattered and she was standing alone on the street, she reached out in front of her, trying to feel for a Judas that wasn't there.

Ai didn't even fight the sobbing that came, she was already missing him, but she had a mission now. She needed help too. And help that wouldn't lock her up in her bedroom if she explained what she wanted to do.

She turned and ran back to the palace, yelling with her hands cupped around her mouth, she was calling for the one who followed her into the dark before, "EATER!"

Judas didn't want to let go, he try to hold on to the vision but it broke and now he was back in reality, back alone in his cell.

The outcast wasn't in as much Physical pain thanks to Ai magic but his inside hurt " Ai.... " he didn't know all of what Void could do and that was what sacred him the most,
Judas just let his body hang, he didn't pull or fight against his Restraint, he soft cry turned into loud welling because that all he could do.

Jasmine nodded her head " yeah, Killy is Soledormir kid... he seem to do titles like that. " she looks over at the midnight walker and everyone else in the room " huh... a real crowd has show up, I guess it is about lunch time "

Boreas nodded, "Mmhm, I'm not surprised..." he muttered about Killy, making mental notes. Then he once again turned his gaze to the kitchen, noticing another new face as Hiiro came in. "True, true... Wonder where this is going to go."

Crystals expression turned confused as Arthur tried to explain the song he mentioned. She was doing her best to understand, but it was practically hopeless with how much was missing, “It’s too bad you don’t know the whole thing, it sounds like it would be a nice song,” she mumbled, thinking about it. Crystal couldn’t help but wonder what the song was really like, how it actually sounded, what it meant.. (I didn’t want to just leave that hanging)

But while her mind dwelled on that in the background, she continued to listen to Ethan and Dreameater while she stared at the floor. She opted to not stare directly at them and what was happening as to not potentially add anymore nerves to the wolf boys already existing ones, knowing herself how nervous it could make someone feel to have eyes on them. Though, she couldn’t help but steal momentary glances. The girl was storing everything she heard, but making sense of it was a completely different story. Her mind jumped to every new thing said, but out of everything Crystal wondered most about what magic looked like, at least, how Ethan was seeing it.

Crystal looked up when she heard footsteps, not expecting anyone in particular, but still a little surprised to see both Dreamcatcher and Eira enter the kitchen. She watched them for a moment, giving a soft smile and nod as a greeting after Catch waved at her. The girl just proceeded sit there in silence though, observing everyone a bit more obviously but still keeping to herself.

She soon tilted her head at Eater when he started acting a little off from a few moments ago, wondering if he was alright, but waiting to say anything.

Hiiro eased himself further into the kitchen now, just a bit, he was hoping to sit and rest his legs, but he couldn't take his eyes off Eater. The further he went into the kitchen, the more tense he felt himself.

So he stopped, his muscles strained to keep himself still, he then remembered something.

A small smirk came to his face as he tried and failed to appear relaxed, his arms crossed tightly over his broad chest and then he focused all his silent anger on Eater. Pure rage just flowed off him in waves.

Eira gave Ethan a concerned look when he explained the haphazard seal that had been placed on Eater. "Something that bad...? What do you mean by the magic exploding inside of him?" She said, coming up by Ethan's shoulder to peer at Eater's eyes as well - not like she'd see what Ethan was seeing, but she instinctively did it anyway.

Ethan try this best to explain, but first he needed a better look at what it was he was trying to explain, he moved his Fingers across the Screen over the Nightmare eye " it pretty bad...who ever did this has very powerful magic... if I didn't know better this seal that was placed has very similar Properties to the old ones seals... huh, the Vaseterm before we lost are world, whatever seal this is, is both Disturbing and fascinating..." he thinks outloud and that when he finally noticed the star inside the Nightmare "Woah...you are all kinds of something... "

What he was seeing was that this funky seal was formed around the star, it look like it had been Moulded for the star and at one time the star had signs of being removed but somehow was sitting right back in this Strange case, the wolf boy tip his head // its a Lantern... this seal a lantern around his soul...//he knew he shouldn't say what he has found, not in front of the Nightmare.

Ethan tails shook " this seal however it a mess has done something I think Should be Discussed in private...
... I need more time to Study this more Thoroughly but that is my thoughts...however I don't think I should do much more... there a lot more things I can look at but I can do that from the copy Image I taken "

Dreamcatcher felt something from the wolf boy, it was a mixture of Realization and worries " ok... but did you find Weaver soul?" He asked Anxiously.

" yes... Weaver star is in there " Ethan replied.

The Dreamer prince was thankful for that and He smiled but his mind was now spinning on just what could be that Ethan needed to say in private? But his attention draw to a different feelings, ones of Hostility, Catch grimaced feeling Anger but he knew this wasn't his, he looked to the main source over Towards Hiiro and then followed it over to the other who was Eater, Catch was sandwich between them, he put his hand out " hay now, we don't need any more Fights happening "

Victoria shook her head, for years she keep telling herself there had to be a reason why Faithful didn't, couldn't tell her, her of all people " I just want answers...why?... I know he did it to save his brother..." she grew quite thinking about the last king of Dreamers, the good he did for his people she could not deny but she was the one with visions, so why was this a path she could never seen? Surly there had to be some why they both Could be saved? Look at all the evil Malice had done and was still doing? Why did Faithful do it? Why did he have to sale himself to the devil when time and time again he had thought his way out of things " I just don't understand Blue.... I just don't know "

Victoria eyes locked onto Blue's, they were full of longing, she was Desperate for answers, Blue had seen things even she could not, and maybe, finally she would know the truth.

As Blue stared his vision the room came to life with lights and symbols, but it was different then when she had them, she could not share vision not like Blue, the queen sat there Anxiously as the room took on a different look...

Qui had just entered the room were the vision started, she spotted who was doing it and was about to speak when the room flash with a bright light, the brown hair woman Raised her arm to shield her eyes.

Soon Muffled voices could be heard, the tone was getting clearer and clearer until words were about to be Recognised, when she lowered her arm a part of Qui wish she hadn't....

They were now within Soledormir thrown room, a dark and Dreaded place, Black columns led to the To the seated place of the throne, Corpses were Fused to them, Reaching out or Screaming, but something was off about the eyes, they were hollow and yet felt like they could see, even someone looking though a vision...but it was the up were the thrown was the Qui eyes finally landed, a large golden bird cage was off to the side and by it was something luring in the shadows... Qui couldn't tell what but is sent a chill down her spine, her eyes then went to the Black charcoal thrown full of Corpses, many were species she didn't recognize but one stood out and that was a pare of male Vaseterm wings...// those must be Matthias...// she look across to the queen, her father wings...

Victoria covered her mouth seen her father wings so brutal Displayed and seen her husband one again.

Omen stood next besides a red head man, they both stood before a Black charcoal thrown and setting up on it was the Chaos king himself, the Giant black dragon was looking rather smug down at Faithful dreamer

Blue grimaced for only a moment as the vision took hold of him, he looked around the horrifying scene before him, he shivered, his wings ruffling. But he stayed still and stayed focus, his gaze moving from the chaos King to Faithful. He knew Soledormir knew he was watching, even without the tingly sensation, he worked his jaw as he waited for someone to speak.

Anna hug Morning Glory back " he is Golry! He really is! " she took her paw and wiped het friend tears stane face " we will save him, you know our partners they won't give up, nor will are friends, given you light magic seem to be helping so it must be doing something for Weaver, we just got to keep supporting our partners and looking after them "

(I thiiiink that's all?)

Terra raises an eyebrow at Fiona's reply, and tips his head forward slightly with a soft look of "Are you sure about that?" Though he quickly drops it for a small, reassuring smile. "D-don't worry about me, I'll be ok... I promise," he says, glancing down at her hands briefly before reaching out his spare ribbon, trying to loosely hold her hand again. "... I-I don't want your corruption getting worse again be--because you're worrying about me... I'll make sure not to g-get into anything w-way over my head... Alright...?"

He then pauses a moment, thinking over what Fiona asked him, about the possibility of him coming back to life, what Osiris told him, and how he could doom them all if he makes a mistake here, and the information gets into the wrong hands... By now his smile has faded again, but eventually he makes his reply: "I... Well... I guess I can tell you, a-at least some of it, they've given me more of a puzzle to solve than anything... Uh... They also said that we could all die if the information I got from them f-falls into evil hands, and that I should o-only get people I trust absolutely to help me..." Terradream stops after this, looking intently at Fiona's face with a look of uncertainty on his own, like he wants to tell her more, but he isn't sure...

(And now I'll work on Eater's reply, since it's my turn for that!)

(Hallooooo!

There is PURPLE!!)

(There /is/ PURPLE!! How're you, Fluffy? :3 )

(I'm doing pretty good! Actually got to sleep before 3. XD

How about you?)

(That's good! XD

I'm doing alright. Put too much milk in my mac 'n cheese today...)

Dreameater lets out a low growl when Catch tries to keep the peace, and he quietly murmurs back, "Hiiro is a threat to everyone here, we need to leave, before that /thing/ tries hurting anyone." He then speaks to Ethan, even though his eyes have been locked on his the whole time, and says, "We'll continue this somewhere else, Ethan, now let me go."

(Noooooo! Too much milk in the mac 'n cheese is never any fun. D:

...Glad to hear you're doing alright otherwise, though.)

(Hello oooo I'm finally home! )

Fiona managed a little, confident smile right back and closed her hand around Terra's ribbon, despite the fact that it still wasn't exactly possible, "I don't know what you're gonna do, but I know you won't do anything super crazy... You're too smart for that.
With the way that we're going, this corruption won't get the best of me, either--you can count on it!"

Then she went quiet, waiting at first, then listening to what Terra had to say. Her eyes widened at what would happen if the wrong people got that information. "There's /no way,/ we're gonna let it fall into evil hands! The bad guys can /put a shock in it.../" However, then she finally paused, actually thinking before she spoke. "...Well... I wanna help in any way I can--you know I'd protect that information with all I've got! But... I'd get it if you wouldn't wanna tell me, too. Either way, I'll do everything I can to keep it, and you, safe." She gazed at him earnestly as she said all of this, her determination reflecting in her tone.

(Hellooooo, Shadooooooow!

How're you doing?)

( im doing alright, tried but doing alright ^-^
I had to run around to a bunch of stores this morning and only found one thing on my list x.x I got to check out more stores tomorrow and hopefully I can find me a desk for my room. Walmart was the only place so far that had one in the size im looking for... small desk are not easy to find ':/ )

( how are you two doing? )

(Glad you're doing alright! That does sound pretty frustrating, though. Hope you can get a good desk!

I'm doing alright! I just made food.)

(Glad you're doing alright aside from being tired! That smells though, about the desk :s

I'm alright, it's nice and cold over here X'D I think I might need to close the door to the screen porch X'DD )

( it was but if anything it making me be patient-.-

That good! Food is very good ^-^

Haha is it a Sweater day? )

(It is most definitely a Sweater Weather day X'D )

(OK, im going to work on my reply and other stuff now )

(Now the question is, how many sweaters? )

(Sounds good! :3

Just one XD Or I guess technically it's jacket weather, but that's not as fun to say as sweater weather)

( haha xDD )

Terradream regains a little bit of the smile he had before, though there's still a tinge of nervousness to it--he's still nervous about the possibilities of Fiona's corruption getting worse again while he's gone, but he wants to try and be at least a /little/ more optimistic than usual. She sure seems confident about it, though there's always that nagging worry in the back of his mind, what if...?

He gives a little nod of his head when she continues, and smirks faintly--was that a pun? But, finally he makes his decision. "I... I do want your help, but y-you can't tell anyone else about this, a-alright...?" he begins to explain, looking more serious now, "There's actually more to Queen Victoria... She was b-brought back to life in a way, too, when Malice killed, o-or nearly did kill her... Osiris took her to a shrine to Shiroi Tamashi, one of the Silver Moon deities of the Land of Dreams, and he brought her back, but she can't leave this world because of that--a-at least not for long..." Looking down intently at his notebook, he starts writing down a bit more with his other ribbon before he continues. "That shrine should still be here somewhere, somewhere in this world, but Osiris can't easily reveal things because of a curse on him... As such, I've got more of a puzzle I have to s-solve... It started with the title of a book, a book on phoenixes of all things, and now we're here, in Osiris' room, a /phoenix's/ room, with symbols of a phoenix and Vaseterm on the tapestries, that I just s-so happen to recognize from a coin that a mysterious stalker gave my sister for her second birthday..." Terradream stops after this, an intensely thoughtful look on his face. "... M-makes me wonder about phoenixes in general... /How/ do they come back naturally? /What/ allows them to do that...?"

(SWEATER WEATHER! :D)

Crystal was slowly picking up on the change in the room as well, but wasn’t exactly sure what it was right away. As Dreamcatcher put his hand out, the girl moved her gaze to where he had looked to first, and froze when she saw Hiiro.

Her chest contracting and stomach suddenly going sour, she forced herself to look away, fully shifting in her seat so she couldn’t see him at all, her back completely facing him. The only thing she could think about when she saw Hiiro just then was how Crimson looked when she visited him in the infirmary that morning; Beaten, bruised, and hooked up to scary looking machines, as well as remembering every last new injury she felt when she helped to heal him..

Crystal was incredibly still, as if moving was dangerous, but she looked to Eater when he growled and mumbled. And though she gave no indication of it, she couldn’t help but agree with the Nightmare..

(Hi GALAXY!!! )

(Hi Galaxy! How're you? :3 )

(Hey Galaxy! Good to see you! How're you doing?)

( I can add more to my post if you like, I wasn't sure if I should post anything for Arthur or not )

( I just hold off with Arthur for a bit ^-^ )

(Hey guys!!

I'm doing okay, tired and cold, but okay. x))

(We can be cold together then XD Good to hear you're doing good though X3 )

(I wonder where Blood and Fade are at?)

Fiona nodded emphatically, "You've got my word--I promise I won't tell anyone else!" She brought her free hand up to her chest, almost as if she were making some kind of pledge. Then, once again, she listened very intently. The Elemental decided not to pick up her notebook to take notes at first--she was going to make sure this info wouldn't /all/ be anywhere where people could take a peek if they got a hold of her stuff.

...She frowned at the mention of Malice, but then her eyes widened in awe--almost comparable to the wonderstruck gaze of a child. "Whoa... So Queen Victoria was brought back to life, too...? And Shiroi Tamashi... Oh! Of course the Silver Moon deities would have something to do with this! Man, I haven't heard about them in forever..." She needed a moment just to take all of that in, and lucky for her, Terra gave that moment as he wrote things down.

Once again, a frown found its way to her face when the ghostly Dreamer mentioned Osiris' curse... But that eventually turned into a look of deep thought. "...That's A LOT of phoenix stuff... Do you think they're hints? /I think they're hints.../" Her voice lowered to a mumble then paused at Terra's last questions. "...Yeah... That's a good question... Do you think the answer has something to do with that...?"

Hiiro wanted nothing more than to rush over and tear apart Eater with his bare hands, he loathed the Nightmare and how he deemed everyone in this room stupid. //We're supposed to go up against some big bad guy, that none of us have even seen, and they can't even kill one dark creature!//

He felt his temper rising, until heat was radiating off of him, his eyes burned with nothing but pure rage and his ribs burned as well, but that was because of the corruption. The black marks on his ribs throbbed and pulsed with his rage.

Hiiro saw the way Crystal looked away from him, he knew she'd seen what he'd done, //AND I'D DO IT AGAIN! WHY DOES /HE/ GET AWAY WITH MURDERING MINA AND NO ONE BATS AN EYE!?//

He parted his mouth, his lips twitching with rage barely contained, his voice was laced with heavy venom as he roared, "F*CK IT!"

The Xanos shapeshifter snapped"YOU'RE ALL WORTHLESS AND STUPID! I HATE EVERY ONE OF YOU! YOU CLING TO A DEAD DREAMER!" He glared at Eater, "AND THEN HAVE THE NERVE TO LOOK AWAY AND BAD MOUTH ME FOR TRYING TO KILL CRIMSON! HE MURDERED MINA!!" flames flickered along his skin now, the pain in his ribs only growing, "I HOPE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU IS SLAUGHTERED! GOOD LUCK BEATING THE BOOGEYMAN WITHOUT ME AND PURITY'S STUPID KEY!"

With that, he turned and stormed out of the kitchen.

(Oh cool, my brain did a dumb)

Eira was watching Eater and Ethan as the boy talked, then glanced up and towards Hiiro when everyone else did and thw atmosphere got tense. She could see his anger growing more and more heated, literally... //This isn't gonna be good...// She could feel frost beginning to crinkle at her fingertips as she readied herself for the Xanos to attacks, but it sort-of-thankfully came out only in furious shouting before he stomped off. Eira still flinched at it though, feeling intimidated and sick inside. She solemnly thought to herself, //I know things are bad... but Weaver's still alive, so that's why we're here and trying to make things better... We have to take it a step at a time to get better.// The griffin's eyes widened a bit in realization. //Hiiro doesn't know Weaver's alive yet, does he?...//

(For some reason, I understood Blood's reply perfectly well, but when writing my own reply, my brain said "Oh yeah, Hiiro got like possessed by Scarlet and killed Mina and so the blame was on Hiiro n stuff")

Ethan swallowed when the Nightmare spoke so Aggressively, he was just about to break eye contact when Hirro Begin to caplock, that made the midnight walker Literally jump back, he Squeaked as he Nearly fell over from his panic and braking the link he had with Eater so abruptly left his eyes sore and his head fuzzy.

Dreamcatcher look to Eater with what he said but then look back to Hiiro, he was about to say something but the Xanos blow up before he could " hay! Hiiro! " he called out with a hand out but it was to late.

The Dreamer prince stood there, he lower his hand to hid side and his Fingers curl into a Fist, a mixture of emotions Collided with one other, his own and the ones around him, his tail Twitch, the very air felt Tense //.... I know he killed her Hiiro, I still need to talk to him to... I need to know why, what made him do it? And could it happen again// but what was just as Concerning was that Hiiro just ran off again and with Purity key // what? He got Purity key?... Purity has a key? //

Just like Ethan, Eater's head gets fuzzy, and he closes his eyes, rubbing them with one hand as they burn, but he doesn't need his eyes to see what Hiiro is doing, not when he has his Nightmare senses... As the dragon's temper flared even more and he began shouting, Dreameater extended his chains out behind him more, close to the ground, and slowly curved them around the people close to him, as if to eerily guard them if Hiiro came closer... Luckily, Hiiro never did come closer, and instead stormed off, at which Dreameater slowly, very slowly, begins easing up. He's never moved from his chair this whole time, and now slightly leans forward, resting his elbow on the table as he keeps rubbing his eyes and taking deep breaths. //He's stealing Purity's Key and betraying us,// is the conclusion the young Nightmare comes to, already playing with ideas in his mind on how to get the Key back from Hiiro... But, there's some more pressing concerns at the present. Out of the people around him, Ethan and Crystal are the ones giving off the most fear and anxiety, and since Crystal is the far more valuable member of his pack in his mind, Dreameater turns his head without looking at Crystal, carefully reaches out his other hand, and gently places it on her shoulder. "... H-hey... Are you ok...?" he slowly asks, in a tone that's starting to sound not quite as aggressive.

" your mother named you so well, so Faithful even to a bother who is not " Soledormir spoke with amusement, his red eyes glace over to new Audience but turned his eyes back to the Dreamer prince, the Chaos king leaned forward in his Thrown with a smug smirk upon his maw " you know your bother is mine now~... he my property, he came to me by his own free will just as you have "

" since we both know why im here, then I'll just get to making my Demands " Faithful Dreamer didn't look away from Soledormir and held a Stern look, but he knew someone was watching them, seeing this moment and with that he had to be careful... everything depended on the action of this deal... the Dreamer prince Discreetly tap his Thumb to the tip of this ring finger 3 times and then tap his Pinky ones and then repeat the pattern, all with his Prosthetic hand.

Victoria had been watching Intensely, but mostly she had her eyes on her husband, she knew Faye and her heart jump at the slight Gesture he made, it was hard for her but she try not to act as if she had noticed, she had enough knowledge to know now that Soledormir was Aware of those using visions.

A dark Chuckle escape Soledormir toothy grin " Demands? Demands? Who are you to be making Demands of a king?"

The Dreamer prince smirked at that, he moved his arms and crossed them " come now Sol, we both know your not a real king "

Omen grabbed the Dreamer prince and spat " YOU WATCH YOUR TONGUE BEFORE I RIP IT OUT! "

Faithful didn't React much in get graded, his Emerald eyes rolled, he knew who this was... he turned his head toward Soledormir " can you call off your dog that you call a son or I will "

Soledormir waved a paw " Amuse me"

The Dreamer prince sighed, this was a game Soledormir was playing and no matter what he was a toy in it, but how the game went depended on how he played...Faithful sighed and look back to Omen, he placed his Prosthetic hand over Omens Wrist and had a firm grip on it " if it wasn't for killing Judas, you would already be dead Killy"

Omens eyes were Strange showing that Soledormir son was in full control right now, Killy curled his lips at the Dreamer prince Threat but then it just as quick it turned to a smug smirk " you had your chance to kill me but your to weak, you spare me to save tool, a tool who has killed just like me!"

" we both know that a lie, if Judas had a choice he wouldn't kill, he fine some other way but /you/ you kill for the pleasure of it and to Please your father so who is more of the tool? Him or you who nothing more then his father puppy?" Faye shot back never braking eye contact with the monster who had hold of him

Rage filled up Killy, he Roared in Faithful face and was just about to lung at him when Soledormir spoke " Killy why don't you go check on are gust~ I'm sure you can help Shoji with her little project?"

Killy Manage to stop himself when his father spoke, he Growled at the Dreamer prince, he wanted to kill him so badly but he trusted his father " I can't wait to kill you Faye " he pulled the Faithful closer so they were face to face " Dreamer taste so good, exactly little Royals~" he Licked his lips, remembering his last kill, a wicked grind spread across his face as he continued " I'm going to kill a lot more because of you, you had your chance to kill me but you failed and more are going to die because of you~ " he let go of the prince and patted him on to of the head as he added one last jab "I wanted you to know that"

Faye didn't say anything as Killy Threatened him and then Taunted, but when the demon was done Faithful had one last thing to say " Killy, I want you to know, you will die in a way that will set Judas free... it may not be by my hand but you will die before I do, I promise you Judas, you will be free "

Blue watched intensely, his gaze followed each who spoke and he paid close attention to their actions. He noticed the repeated pattern Faye did and then he glanced from the corner of his eye to Victoria, //What was that about? A secret code?... Does he know we're here too?//

The young royal's eyes burned with determination at what Faithful said to Killy, his feathers on his wings puffing up, //He will! We already have what we need, we just need Judas to show up! He'll be free and...// he swivelled his gaze to Soledormir, //Your little lap dog will die!//

He watched Killy leave, feeling a mix of satisfaction and yet intense dread. He picked this time for a reason.

Terradream nods his head again to confirm Fiona's question, stays quiet until she asks her last thoughts, and then nods again. "I think they are, too... When--When I go out into the city to take care of the thing for Nora, I'm gonna k-keep an eye out for anything that might even remotely be tied to phoenixes, or even birds..."

He think on that a little more, then looks back to Fiona with a curious look in his eyes, and he asks, "Do... Do you have any plans on what to do? Wh-while I'm gone...?"

Crystal flinched when Hiiro first snapped at them, her whole body tensing. She blankly stared down at her lap as she listened to the yelling, slowly but surely her emotions and Hiiro’s words getting the better of her and causing her eyes to sting.

She was angry at Hiiro for what he did to Crimson, the whole idea and way he went about it as well, and what little trust she did once have for him was gone.. Because of that, all that was left was a fear of him.. and she felt guilty about it. She hated that she was upset and angry, and she hated that she felt guilty for feeling like that, but there was no way she could simply look any of this over and forgive so quickly and blindly. Especially after what just happened..

The girl remained silent, lost in her swirling thoughts and emotions. As a hand came into contact with her shoulder, Crystal fought the urge to pull away, trying to find comfort in the gesture instead. She couldn’t bring herself to look up but she knew who it was, and after Eaters question, her response was a halfhearted and forced out, “Yeah..” her voice barely audible and noticeably tight as she did her best to hold herself together even though her threads were slowly fraying.

Hiiro continued down the hall, nearly trampling Ai in the process, he didn't slow down or stop. His pace not faultering for a moment.

Ai had squeaked, barely getting out of the enraged Xanos's path. She stopped where she was and watched Hiiro, watched as he left the hall way and she listened as the front doors to the palace were flung open.

Hiiro, once outside, shifted to his true form, despite all his aches and pains, he took off into the sky and out of the palace grounds. His mind wasn't even his anymore, it was consumed by rage, his vision dark and red with an anger that rage didn't even begin to describe. He could also feel his heart ache with every beat. //I was right!// his head shook as he flew, his mind was numb with bitter thoughts, //He murdered her and they see ME as the.. one who DID IT!// he flew higher and higher, disappearing from the palace's sight and anyone else's view. //THEY SHOW HIM SO MUCH SYMPATHY AND LOVE! POOR CRIMSON! POOR BABY! HE DIDn'T mEAN to KILL HER! It's ALL HIIRO'S FAULT!// his head twitched and then he roared, deep and booming like thunder.

Where he was going, was anyone's guess, not even he knew.
-
Ai slowly crept to the kitchen, now that she'd calmed down from her events, she realized something was up, she could feel something weighing the air down as she slunk into the kitchen. Nervously looking at everyone

Christina had black out for a moment do to the Impact, she mondon wheezed, placing a hand to her side // broke rib?...// she grimaced as her head start to come out of the fog " J-osh?... Josh?" she looked over to were her partner was sitting.

The human man was Unconscious still, glass had cut his face and expose skin.

The shapeshifter place her hand on his shoulder and softly shook him "Josh, please wake up"

He finally came to, gasping as he Jolted awake, he was about to say something to his partner but her appearance wasn't like he knew, she had some human features but was definitely not a human " just what are you?!"

" Josh, I can explain but right now not a good time " she then pointed to the flipped car they hit

The man had so many questions but she was right, grunting Josh undid his Seat belt and Christina did the same.

Christina fins Vibrated and fear stuck her hard, she Quickly moved to the other side of the Vehicle to were her partner was " get down " she Whispered.

Josh still wasn't used to his partner change of appearance, he was gawking at her now that he could fully see what she look like " you. Have. A. Tail... just what are yo!-?" He couldn't Finish as Christina pulled him down with her and she shhh him, then the Insane laughter happened.

They both slowly peek over the Hood of their vehicle and standing by the flip car was a man turning into some Monster like from a movie. Josh eyes were locked on this Creature, something about it Terrified him to the core.

Christina was about the same but she had seen and face dark Creatures before, she was a Police officer but what her partner didn't know was that she also handled magical affairs but this thing, this was something she had never Encountered before and all her Sense told her this was evil, that this thing was a kind of Danger she had never Encountered before

The officer was having trouble breathing and it wasn't because of the spell, she was trying to control her breath but as she started at this monster it was like his very present was stealing it // ...it has no eyes...// and yet it felt like it was started right at her, seeing every Aspect of her, that this thing knew that they were there and yet it didn't seem to care...

Josh went to make a move when a woman Screened but Christina stop him, she shook her head 'no' she knew whatever this thing was, was far beyond what they could handle, that this Creature was powerful and without a doubt could kill them and knew it.

After the monster spoke in a Chilling voice it soon Vanished into the darkness.

Josh let out a breath he had be holding, his place his hands on his face and leaned against the car as he said a few colorful words not knowing what that was or what was even happening.

Christina slid to her bumm, she couldn't stop shaking, it was like her life flasy before her eyes and all the monster did was just stand there.

" w-hat was that thing?!" Josh finally found his words.

Christina started blankly and moved her arms around herself, she had never experienced something quite like what happened and she was trying to find the words to explain something she didn't know fully how to explain, it would have been hard enough to tell someone who knew magic but someone who didn't? " ... it... it was a demon "
" w-hat?! That can't be "Josh didn't want to believe her but how could he not?

Now that the evil Present was gone, Christina fins picked up on other life, one from the crash car " Josh, there a woman alive in that car " she grabbed his arm

( and that the end of this story)

Eira nervously looked from one person to another, the tension and silence in the room almost suffocating. //Our group is struggling to hold together, isn't it?...// She sighed faintly. //There's so much to fix...//
The shiftress took Catch by the hand, glancing at him with a quiet and concerned look, making sure he was okay, before looking to Crystal and observing how upset and small she seemed. "You can talk to us... We're here with you," Eira murmured quietly, trying to encourage the girl.
