Malice stayed quiet at this, there was a lot for him to think about...

Dreamcatcher on the other hand who had been quite now had questions of his own, he turned his head and looked at his brother with a 'what?!' Face " did I hear that right? Waker? You don't mean Dreamwaker? "

Anna was just as shocked " just what have you been up to Weaver? "

Weaver looks back at Catch and Anna when they both speak up, and he gives them a nervous smile. "Well... Uh, yeah, I mean Dreamwaker, the Ancient... I thought I told you guys already? I can't remember..." he says, then tries to briefly explain, "Apparently I came across her one time before I turned... Wait, no, Catch, remember that one time back then, we were in a dream together, or something like a dream, the one where I punched Cataclysm and we saw, uh... I guess some form of me turning... But--we heard a creepy lady singing, and I think we saw her there, didn't we? That was Waker. After I did turn, she and Eater teamed up in a way, but Eater ended up kind of doing things his own way and reporting back to her about it... I--we?--met up with her this morning to go over stuff, and Boreas was with me." He pauses another moment, giving Catch a confused look too. "I thought I mentioned something about that earlier? I can't remember... I'm tired, too much has happened today..."

He then gets back to Boreas, starting with an apology, saying, //Sorry Captain, but can you do me another favor? Malice is really injured and the Forsaken of Rage is hunting him, Catch, Anna, and I are with him right now, but we're both in really bad shape, so we need to leave... Can you just come over and hang out with another Nightmare?//

Fiona was about to tell Boreas about the things he'd asked about, but the icy Elemental held up one finger. Her brow furrowed in protest at that, but she wondered what was going on.

"...You'll have to tell me later. Weaver's contacting me, and you're wearing thin." Her Uncle told her.

"Weaver?! I-is he okay?!" Fiona quickly asked upon hearing the name of another member of their group... Seeming to also absentmindedly do her best to defy his 'wearing thin' comment.

"Sounds tired, but he seems alright." Boreas answered, going back to holding up one finger as he awaited a response.

//Sure, I can do that--it's the new normal.// His tone had the faintest hint of sarcasm, and then it turned fully serious, //I'll have it covered. Just need your location.//

"He's with Catch and Anna. Bad shape, but they're aiming to leave."

Watching the way emotions and thoughts washed over him, Crystal couldn’t help but wonder what the person was really thinking about, but she wouldn’t ask.. at least not right now.

When he started to visibly shake, the girl’s expression was sad and concerned, she didn’t know what to do to help, but she scooted her chair a little closer, nodding when he reconfirmed that she said she was okay.

Crystals eyes then widened a bit with what he said lastly, and she was glad when Glory spoke up about it. The girl glanced over at the Fairfin for a moment as she listened, only briefly her eyebrows knitting curiously at the mention of a spell, then she looked back to the person and nodded, showing her agreement with Glory. “There’s no need to apologize, by the sounds of it, you’ve done nothing wrong here..”

Against there efforts of reassurance guilt and doubts hung over the red king, he couldn't even bring himself to look ether the girl or the tiny Bellezza in the eyes...

The red king didn't feel like he could do anything right or be of help to anyone so when the tiny Bellezza said he helped her that caught him off guard"...I-I did spell?..." the red king replied hesitantly, he didn't even know he was capable of something like that so it must have come from something of the young man body he possessed... " I-I am thankful that you are doing better ... however I... I should not receive your gratitude.... I am not capable to what you say.... I..." he keep his eyes down to his hands or more like on Crimsons, he knew these were not his, how none of this was".... if I did cast a spell it was only do to your friend abilities, not I...I simply can not do such things... I am glad that you both seen to be well.... but please, do not grant me such praises that I do not deserve... "

Morning Glory pouts a little bit when the mystery man continues to doubt himself, she glances over at Crystal, then she gets herself up out of the bowl. "Now, mister, please don't be so hard on yourself," she says, drying herself off some with one of the nearby towels and making a few cute cat noises as she does so. Afterwards, she continues, saying as she then flies back over to the bed, "I don't know if Crimson is capable of magic like that, I don't know him very well, but how can you know that you're not capable of something like that, when you don't even know who or what you are...? You've been nothing but kind, and humble, and apologetic since we've been talking, so I think I can say that I know it was you who did that spell. You're not evil, and you're not the demon inside of our friend. So, thank you."

Catch grimaced, both with the fact he knew so little about what his brother had been going through and doing // what have I been doing all this time? ... I... I don't even know /// his tired mind went to Hiiro, looking back he spent alot of his time big red dragon, the thought about that didn't make him feel good, he felt anxiety like everything he do would end up failing, he had the weight of regrets for the things he done with Hiiro that he knew was wrong and now he was anxious thinking about the dragon shapeshifter, he needed to find Hiiro and cool his temper before he hurt anyone, it became a subconscious job that he believed was on his shoulder because he was the leader... the whole thing made him feel sick, Catch didn't know if he had enough energy to deal with Hiiro right now, the dragon was without a doubt the most enraged and Madness he seen him, with Hiiro saying he wanted them all to die because they defended Crimson...
his mind then went to sympathize with Hiiro, Crimson did murder Mina...however it wasn't as if Crimson wanted to, no one knew he go nuts and start changing into some kind of corrupted creature, so can you really say what killed Mina was him? But was that just an excuse? As far as he knew Crimson never told anyone about his corruption, then again everyone seem to have their own form of something evil...
Dreamcatcher let out a grievous sigh as he took his free hand to his face and mumbled " there so much I need to catch up on and do..."

Malice huffed, that sounded like Waker, but not only that, this sounded like the key hunters, disorganized and chaotic, not really the group he wants to trust his life to but he didn't have any other choice or he would have took that instead

Dreamweaver scrunches his broken nose some, grimacing a little more when that hurts the slightest bit. It's hard when your best friend is feeling sick with fear, and you're feeling that too, all while trying to talk to someone else... //Uh, thanks Captain, our location... Hold on,// he starts, then turns his attention to two Fairfin, asking, //Glory, Anna, could you two just link all these calls together? Anna, can you tell Boreas our location? I gotta help Catch...!//

Without even waiting for a reply, he looks at his friend and makes himself smile. "H-hey... Hey, we'll work things out, brother, just one step at a time..." He says, "Remember my vision of the future? Just imagine yourself on a nice, warm, fluffy bed... and think about how we're almost there, we're almost there, we just have to go back and then find our way to everyone else. We'll be able to catch up on stuff in the morning, don't even think about it right now. Just hang in a little longer for me, brother, come on..."

Glory perks her ears up slightly when Weaver directly calls her and Anna, but she tries to stay subtle in a way, to hopefully not be too distracting with what's going on around her. //I can do that, Weaver! You ready, Anna?//

Hello!

(*Flings hot pocket through the window*

Hallo! :D
This cover is super pretty!)

"Are they coming here...? Do they know how...? Or... Is it even safe...?" Fiona asked with drowsy concern, getting more mumbly as she thought out loud.

Boreas could tell that something wasn't quite right from Weaver's end as he replied. //Alright.//
He couldn't know for sure what exactly it was, but he had a few guesses... For now, he waited.

"I'm not sure where they're going to be heading next. I'd assume they'd have to come here, or to the nearest camp. I'll make sure they know about this place." Boreas answered Fiona's question, "Fi, I'm going to have to head out early. Need to keep an eye on Malice to ensure he stays alive."

"Malice--?!" Fiona started, remembering that he was partially the cause of all of this.

"Mmhm... He's badly injured, and the Forsaken of Rage is after him."

(Hi Fluffy! Yeah, Shadow did another pretty cover today X3

How you two doing?)

(I'm doing alright! It's been a good morning/afternoon. ^v^

How about you?)

(That's good to hear! ^-^

I'm doing good! Ate too much for lunch and now I feel almost like sleeping 'XD

I'm excited about SKeys, though -w- )

(Don't mind me swapping to all the different accounts, I'll get back on my main now 'XD )

(Hahahaha, that's alright! XD

I'm excited about SKeys, toooo! X)

Rihanna nodded // I'm on it little bro!// she gave Catch a worry look, her partner was a mess she knew that but the full extent she was just seeing how bad he really was but the Fairfin knew Weaver had this, so she then had to focused on her tasks // I'm ready Glory! // a look came to her face as she work to connect the calls // hello? Glory, Captain Boreas? Where all here...
Ok, it's like what Weaver said, Malice needs a babysitter to keep him alive, were deep in some old underground subway system ( she then go on to explain how to get there in detail)//

Catch looked up at his brother still holding the grim look upon his face and then hearing Anna he just felt worse, here he was, not even physically mauled just tired with some scrapes and bruises and yet he was a mess... at first his mind went to bad visions he had seen, it felt like they were living one right now..." but how? Everything just keep getting worse?.... I don't know how to get to your vision...I don't see that but..."
but that didn't seem like what Weaver was talking about, it sounded a LOT nicer then any vision he had " I like your visions... is it possible?"

"You just gotta have a little faith," Weaver says, "A little faith can go a long way, you know? That and some determination, and then you add in hope... What I've got in mind is absolutely possible, I know it like I know the back of my hat, we just have to push through this and then we'll be there! We can do it! How about we start going right now?"

He almost forgets to say anything more to Malice, but he does remember, and turns his head back to him for a moment. "Hey, Malice, Anna's telling Boreas how to get here, he's gonna come keep an eye on you. We're gonna go now."

Fiona had to think hard about everything with Malice again. She seemed to remember this attack on the city having more to do with Void... The question was more: What made Malice do a spell like that?
It slowly started to click in her tired mind--did Rage have something to do with it? "That... Makes sense..."

Meanwhile, Boreas was focusing on his call when Anna started speaking to him. He wasn't entirely familiar with Catch or his Fairfin, but he knew guessed who it was through process of elimination. //I'll be there ASAP.
Does your group have a plan of where to go? I assume Glory would've filled you all in on where we are now.//

While sending that message, Boreas stood up. He looked to his niece when he was done, "Hang tough, kid. Remember what we talked about, and take another look in here--at the beginning." He placed Fiona's diary on top of her gut. "...I'll be back later, so let's talk some more, then." He gently ruffled the fluff on top of her head.
"...Oh, and if some food arrives, take what you want, but save some for me, will you?"

Fiona just blinked at her uncle as he set her diary down on top of her. She narrowed her eyes, "...You've been reading my diary?"
...Either way, she looked up at him when he pat her noggin and nodded, determination returning to her eyes. "You got it, sir."

That got a half hearted chuckle out of the prince, but it was short lived, he wanted to have faith again and without him even believing himself he was still holding on to a small spark "... I'm trying Weaver... I'm trying to... I just wish after everything I could..." he stopped himself, Catch knew better, not all was lost, things with Eira seem to be getting better and Weaver was right here, alive! Those were things to be thankful for, blessings but doubt and grief was like a wave that try to take any thoughts of hope out into the deepest part of despair... Catch let out a deep sigh, he was to tired to be frustrated and knew he needed to control his emotions which he felt was an battle he was losing ground on " I.. I just think the sooner we can find the others the better..."

// yeah, I'll talk with Glory and we'll figure out the safest route to were your at now... it just takes us a bit to get there...// the Tiger Fairfin replied. She then went to discuss with her fellow Fairfin the plans

Malice replied with a huff, he didn't need the young Nightmare to inform him about the Fairfins, his ears had twisted when the signal from her became more stable... under normal circumstances even Fairfin signal would have been blocked but this was obviously not normal circumstances... however this could prove to be a their advantage which was the case now, but this brings up unsettling possibilities, one, if key hunters have something that has been obviously designed to come back one of his greatest spells, then it was without a doubt Soledormir and Void would have something as well or soon will... and that were his other concern comes in, not only in a dead world were magic is a rare but even more so in the boundary of his spell, the Fairfins signals would be the only thing Broadcasting... with the right knowledge or Dark creature thoughts signals can be followed or worse, tapped...
However the Nightmare king cut his eyes toward were Weaver voices was in // Boreas... huh...// it was hard to grasp that the captain wouldn't kill him on sight but then again Boreas already had his chances and didn't take them...// this whole situation is not ideal, however if I had to choose, Boreas would be my 2nd choice...//

With Malice not saying anything more, Weaver starts to turn to leave and supporting Catch all the way. "I think so too," he says, "And we'll see them soon, we'll get there, see everyone again, and maybe pass out on a nice comfortable bed... First, will you be able to crawl through that little hole again?"

//Alright. Careful with your calls out there. Far too many unknowns about this situation.// Boreas quickly advised. Although he'd never heard of any in-depth studies on Fairfin call safety, they needed utmost caution.
Everything else he knew had already been turned on its head, after all.

"They'll be heading here once Glory gives them directions." Boreas informed his niece, who was once again very glad to hear this. "Thanks for letting me know, Uncle Boreas.
...You'd /better/ get back okay, too. We need to talk more... But... You already said that."

"That I did. Get some rest, Fi." Boreas gave his niece a final wave, finally heading out of the room. He gave the doctors a goodbye, and hurried out the door. He remembered the way Penelope had shown him to get there, so he backtracked to get to the door.

...Meanwhile, Fiona laid there in bed, holding her diary now. Her mind was still racing all over, despite her also being sleepy.

The red king gaze drifted down words as the Fairfin did her best to reassure him, but he didn't know how to reply, it didn't feel right, just like the feeling of his fingers slowly brushing up against the cloth that the blanket, he could feel and the sensation was overwhelming, he be lying if he said that he didn't like the ability to feel but he couldn't enjoy it, he knew this wasn't his body, that This was wrong... just like he felt like the girls reassurance to him was, he felt that he could trust them but it was himself he didn't... he didn't want people to get hurt, he didn't want to hurt anyone, just like he was doing now, he was robbing them of their friend... he could tell it was hurting, exactly for the human girl...he didn't say anything but he wish the boy would wake up, that himself would fade away again...

His staring at his hands came to a stop when The Familiar presence of a Bellezza was drawing closer, he looked to the door when Penelope returned but in shame looked back down.

The Angel piece had a sympathetic look upon her face sensing the atmosphere in the room, grif shrouded the red king like a blanket as for the girl her emotions Wade heavy upon her to... Penelope greeted them and walked over gracefully, she set down the Tray had which carried the bowls of soup and crackers, first she went over to the red king and gently placed a hand on his shoulder and then whispered in his ear... whatever she said seem to get his attention as he looked up at her, his green eye had tears threatening to fall...
She patted his shoulder and then said " everything is going to be ok, we will uncover the truth, just rest now "

The Bellezzas then turned her attention to the human girl, she just like the others was in need of help, she offered the girl to come with her to get cleaned up and her injuries treated, she even insured Crystal that she could come visit him when she wanted to, Penelope even gave her a device that would inform her, she then Escorted the girl out ( she took one of the soups for Crystal and left one for the red king) before leaving she asked Glory if she could keep the mysterious man company ( there was the other doctor and nurses in the room as well)

The red king couldn't help but look up as the two left, he told himself it was better this way, she get help... she needed help.

The red king didn't say anything, he looked down again, his face twitchde and his eye kept squinting, his body was trying to cry but he didn't understand that

( Galaxy! Whenever you feel like hoping back in you can! Just made something so Crystal can get some carry to )

Yeah That sounds nice " Catch mumbled, a nice warm bed sound amazing, he then remembered the hole " yeah.." he sighed, he didn't have much of a choice, and if anything Weaver could pull him though but he didn't even think of that.

Anna did a thumbs up in the air // on it captain Boreas sir! Safe travels!// she followed along after the boys but did looked back towards the bathtub, she was a little surprised to see two yellow glowing eyes peaking over the edge " just sit tight Mal, Captain Boreas will be here before you know it!"

A huff came from the black wolf as his yellow eyes sunk back down into the darkness of his pit

Anna then focuses on her friend// Glory, you still there? Were heading out now// she informed, she wasn't sure if she should start asking questions yet or wait a bit, they did have quite a bit of traveling though the tunnels alone

Morning Glory stayed somewhat quiet as Penelope comes in with more food, at this point she was listening in on everyone's conversations more, though she was rather curious when Penelope whispers to the mystery man. She then said good bye to Crystal--making sure to say that they will see Crimson again at some point, she's sure he'll wake up at some point, so hopefully the human girl would feel at least even the smallest bit better too. Lastly, she gave Penelope her word that she would stay and watch over the red king, and now after all is said and done, she's sitting back on the bed by the stranger's side. //I'm still here! I've been listening to all of you, I hope you all will be careful out there, and that includes you too, Captain. I'll still be here too, I just have to keep an eye on, um... the new mysterious stranger... person,// she says telepathically in the group call, then more privately tries to speak to Rihanna specifically, asking, //The only thing I'm concerned about with you guys coming here is Weaver, what with him being a Nightmare... I don't know if they'd let him in, or if they did, how this place would affect him, I don't know...//

Weaver offers to go through the tunnel first so he can pull Catch through--at first he offers to his his ribbon for that, but then he corrects himself and says chain.

Boreas hurried through the halls, nearing the lobby when he heard Glory's message. //Thanks for the update. Try and rest easy if you can, too. We all need as much as we can get.//

Before the Captain left the lobby, he pulled out the earpiece Jason had given him and popped it into his ear. He gave it a quick test, "Yo, anyone still on this line?"
He did receive a reply from Jason, so the Elemental reported his own small update for him. Then, after that, he set off again.

He had one more stop on his list, but this one was on the way out. As Boreas left the lobby and stepped outside, he very quickly spotted Sparky and Terra under that same tree.
...He had told them earlier that he would check on them, and now was as good a time as any.

The red king didn't mind anyone talk to him, in a way that seem to calm him, to just sit and think, to him that all he could do....

Rihanna took note of the directions and any landmarks they should come across, she then wish Captain Boreas luck as well, but when her friend spoke more to her privately the Tiger Fairfin got quite as she watch the two boys help each other though the hole // yeah, that a good point... Weaver in control right now but that doesn't mean everyone going to believe us and as far as what could happen to him there... how is the others doing with their corruption is it hunting them our helping?//

//Crimson threw up a bunch of nasty, corrupted magic-like stuff, or something, whatever it was, it was evil... And it burst into flames shortly after it was exposed to the air here,// Glory answers with a frown, //I don't know fully how this place is treating anyone else, I haven't heard anything about Eira... but Weaver's body is the most corrupted out of everyone's; if Crimson's puke exploded just being out in the air, what would this place to do something that's pure corruption, through and through, like a Nightmare?// She breathes out a little sigh and curls up next to Crimson, then continues, //... He doesn't really have a choice though, since Catch is keeping him from losing himself to Eater again... Even if he did, though, I know how Weaver is, he'd come here anyway, whether I like it or not, because he'd want to help Catch and everyone else... I've been wanting to talk to him for a bit now, but I didn't want to distract him since it sounds like things have been crazy over there. How are both the boys now? It sounds like your partner has it bad...//
