"Peggy Sue"

"I've heard you sing, I've come for a song." A female voice called out with authority, slight annoyance her eyes looking around at the darkness. her nose twitching slightly at the smell which made her cover her nose with her sleeve. "Sing." wooden chair clapped against the floor as a guard placed it near the cell bars. Looking at the guard before cleaning off the chair sitting down. "Filthy, you can't find me a cleaner one?" The guard shook their head nervously standing in attention with their arms at their side. "I wasn't informed you would be coming down or I would have gathered you a more appropriate seating." She scuffed with a low growl adjusting herself in the chair.

"Well? Sing! I don't have all day!" Exhaling through her nose with a groan, "I came to this disgusting place to hear you sing. Now sing!" Her claws tapped against the arm of the chain. The guard stepped closer to the bars. "Sing! That's a order." She slowly growing impatient. "You can rot in there. You there." Waving a guard over to her, "I thought you said this one could sing? Are you trying to make a fool of me?!" The female stared into the guards eyes with rage building "N-no! Never I wouldn't. They do sing I have heard them. I wo-." The guard shook slightly, she snapped at them quickly.

 "No food for both of you today understood? If you say they do sing then I will be back tomorrow and if they still do not sing then both of you will be having something in common." The guard opened their mouth wanting to say something but closed their mouth and nodded.  "Both of you will be in these disgusting cells with no food, for wasting my time with this nonsense." The guard lowering their head knowing there was no arguing it was going to be a rough day now without any food.

Chains slid along the cold dirt floor, interrupting the conversation on the other side of the bars. The torches flickering outside of the cell walls. The chains crashing down upon the ground as it led into the shadows of the cell. "If you knew. Peggy Sue." A light tapping of chains against the ground as the voice sang softly from the shadows. "Then you'd know why I feel blue." The singing echoed through the cell and down the hallway slightly before fading into silence. "Without Peggy."

 "My Peggy Sue"
The light of the torch barely lighting the way through the halls "Oh, well, I love you, gal"
"Yes, I love you, Peggy Sue" She scuffed through her nose at the singing before glancing back at the guard. The guard smiled nervously while standing near the cell bars, turning their attention to the ground.
"Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue"
"Oh, how my heart yearns for you"
"Oh, Peggy." 
"My Peggy Sue"
"Oh, well, I love you, gal"
"Yes, I love you, Peggy Sue"
"Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue"
"Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue"
"Oh, Peggy."
"My Peggy Sue"
"Oh, well, I love you, gal"
"And I need you, Peggy Sue"
"I love you, Peggy Sue"
"With a love so rare and true"
"Oh, Peggy." 
"My Peggy Sue"
"Well, I love you, gal"
"I want you, Peggy Sue"

The chains tapping continued, along with a slight tap of the guards foot against the ground. "So you weren't lying after all. Very well you can eat today" The female looked to the guard then back at the one behind the bars. "When I want a song you sing, and you get to eat. Make me wait and you get nothing." Nothing else was said as the song continued. The rhythm of the chains and tapping of feet on the ground, the cold dry ground kicked up a slight bit of dust.

"Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue"
"Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue"
"Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue"
"Oh, well, I love you, gal"
"Yes, I need you, Peggy Sue"
"I love you, Peggy Sue"
"With a love so rare and true"
"Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue"
"Oh, well, I love you, gal"
"And I want you, Peggy Sue"
"Oh, well, I love you gal"
"And I want you, Peggy Sue!"

"Is that it? Who is this Peggy Sue? A lover perhaps? It's not even about me, what a worthless song. Tomorrow give me a song worth my time." She sat there waiting for a reply as she stared at the figure in the shadow. "Speak!" She commanded before narrowing her eyes staring directly at the shadows. The guard cleared their throat, "Answer the questions! Speak!" The guard leaned down tugging on the chain against the figure trying to pull them from the shadows. "Fine, starve." She stood from the chair glaring at the shadowed figure and dusting off her body from the chair. "Get me a more suitable seat next time." Her face covered with her sleeve turning and leaving as her body guards led and followed through the hallways with their own torches to light the way.

"Yes! I will make sure the seats will be suitable! I'll make sure they'll answer you next time!" The guard bowed their head staring at the ground letting go of the chain as it fell to the floor. "Good, if they don't that's fine long as they sing." Leaving with her bodyguards trying to push the body guard in front of her to move faster wanting to get out of the stench. "DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SMELL!" She growled coughing slightly, "MOVE!" Their pace moved faster with her orders, the guard watched and looked around. "Smell? How?" The lady was already out of the hallway and headed out of the prison.

The guard groaned before staring into the cell. "Well you going to say something or is that it?" The figure laid itself down against the floor and curled up against the wall. Having it's ragged clothing tare slightly while on the ground. "Right. Get some rest while you can." The guard followed down the trail behind the lady and her bodyguards. The torch in their grasp, the cell became darker and darker as the only light left. A cold breeze gently caressed along the walls as the warmth of the flame left. Footsteps of the guard began to fade with the echoing of sounds. The chill lingered as a frosted claw like fingertips touch against the bars of the cell.

Chances taken away

The wind howled along the cliff side, strong winds flowed along the caverns below. A faint female voice could be heard in the wind following a bit of laughter. His ear twitched against his horns that curled slightly listening to the sounds. A deep breath from his nose coughing soot slightly coming from his beard.

Reaching up brushing off the soot as it blew away dissolving in the wind. His wings tucked against his back covered in soot as well. Ash and soot covered most of his body, parts of soot blowing off of his body. Standing at the cliffs edge, "Mom.. I.. I failed. She.. I.." Closing his golden eyes as soot blew over his face, a flash of memories came to his mind.

"Hey! You in there?! I have news! Look at this!" A female voice called out, as a anvil was in front of him. His hands and body covered in ashes and soot. A blade in his hands forming in the darkness over the anvil. his fingers bending the shadows as a light barely visible began to form around the handle.

"..." He didn't reply as his eyes were focus, before a bright light shined in. The blade dissolved as he fell forward some. As he turned to see a black and red skinned female. She stared with her sapphire eyes directly towards him. "F-fuck Mavil wha-!" She blew a bit of powder into his face interrupting him. He leaned back closing his eyes as he fell asleep instantly.

His body froze in place, 'ha.. fuckin' Mavil ha ha. I never got to thank you. You made sure, I got some sleep.' His wings shook while flexing open. 'I'm your brother.. I'm older I get to go first!' He yelled, as a nightmare of the past came back once again.

 "MAVIL! I'M COMING!" He yelled running his heart beating heavy and fast staring at his sister. Her golden pigtails braided fall to the ground as she fell upon her back laying on her black and red wings. A sword raised before smashing against a dome over her body. Her eyes stared blankly as she tried to keep her eyes open, she was exhausted and worn.

A shadow of a small handaxe formed in his hand throwing it at the one wielding the sword. Knocking the weapon away easily, stopping them for a moment. A large figure stood towering over Mavil, they spoke in words she could understand, but he couldn't. "GET AWAY FROM HER!" 

A roaring familiar voice yelled out nearby. "MAVIL!" It was their friend Lionel 'of the white mane' roaring out as he was rushing forward towards the figure as well. Pulling his bow out while running shooting out a arrow before putting his bow back and pulling out another weapon. Growling angrily slashing at the figure furiously. "MAVIL! CHANCE! MAVIL!"

The small handaxe of shadow was hovering over his hand, a blade cut into the figures leg with a deep cut. A frosted blade slided into the figures leg, the figure cried out annoyed as they continued to slam their sword against the dome. Both of Lionel and Chance were struck away, as Chance quickly ran back towards the figure cutting at it's wounded leg.

"GET AWAY FROM MY SISTER!" The figure flew up into the air before he could strike, Mavils eyes closed exhaustedly. The dome had disappeared around her body as she was collapsed on the ground. Flying above the blade of the sword with laughter from the figure. A whip of their tail sent both Lionel and Chance back again.

Her body shook on the ground repeatedly being pierced but the figures sword through her body and the ground below. The sword glowing with blood "MAVIL!!" He as fast as his feet could take him, before flying after the figure flying quickly away the wound healing. Leaving a scar along its legs and the side of it's body stopping before flying back to Mavil.

His wounds slowing him down before landing back onto the ground. Rushing over to Lionel and Mavil, Lionel stepped away from her body. Lionel shaking with his paws gripping his weapons tears being wiped away with his head lowered.

"I-I'm." 

"s-sorry." Lionel said aloud. Chance growled his wings wrapped around Mavil. "SHUT UP! SHE'LL BE FINE!" Chance pulled out a small vial with a inscription. 'Mavil special' "She-she just needs some of her special potions and she'll be fine!"

"She'll be good as new!" Chances voice was shaking, using the vial. 

Placing the empty vial down afterwards her body didn't react as a she laid limp in his arms. Scooting her up perching her onto his legs with her bird-like feet. He held her closer wrapping his tail around them body as her wound was bandaged, but her blood was soaking his hands and wings. 

Shaking his head trying not to think as he opened up his golden eyes the tears that were falling from his face shined in the moonlight. Each stream of tears gave his face a glow, staring out at the vast clouds below him. "I failed Mom." He stood over the cliff, tears streaming down his eyes as soot and ash were combining blowing the tears. 

"I.." 

"I should have been there." A piece of armor and weapons he was making for her clenched in his hands. 

"I.."

"I-i couldn't make these fast enough. Mavil. I'm sorry, I'm so-sorry." He began to stutter shaking his hands holding her equipment close to his chest.

Staring down at the howling winds, clouds his wings tucking against his back. His feet stepped closer to the edge feeling the push of the wind. His gaze turned upward to the clouds upon the sky, "Moon goddess."

"I'm sorry, I failed my sister. I tried to save my sister. I tried, I was too late." It had been a few weeks since Mavil had passed, standing alone at the cliff side. Behind him a city enclosed in a mountain side, with winds someone could fly up to the city or tunnel through the caverns of the mountain.

Chances taken away Chapter ://

'Are we really here?' 

"Is this it?" 

'This seems a little.' 

'Okay maybe a lot worse than it was in the past.' 

"Excuse me! Hey, where is the nearest temple?"

 ''Temple?"

"Yes, we are in need of help, I. There should be a Chima temple somewhere close by."

"The nearest one is behind you."

'Behind me?' turning around seeing nothing but vines and stones along what looked to be a path.

"I don't see any-"

"It was destroyed a long time ago."

"There was a temple here?"

'What? it was destroyed? That's..'

"Yes" 

"Told you."

'Wait.'

"What Chima temple was it?"

"I only got to see inside of it once.." 

"You got to see inside of it? When? I have known you for years, going to a temple without me."

'This has to be a mistake or something. Why would a temple be destroyed, that makes no sense.' 

"It was a long time ago I was very small then, but I got to see inside of it."

 'This is the temple? They seen it being destroyed?'

"Wait what? You mean you were in-?!" 

"Oh, right that. That was. This temple?"

 'They were inside, the temple as it was being destroyed.'

"Yes."

"I'm glad but what Chima temple was it?"

"The DragonTree temple."

"The other nearest Chima temple would be in that direction. Follow the path past the village, you will get there."

'I need to know about who would destroy the temple! and when, how!'

 "I would like to know how it happened."

"Why?"

"It caught fire and burned. Burned everything, and once that was done. Everything around it was dug up and anything that survived. Was burned again it continued until nothing was left."

"How. how did. Can you tell me all you know on how it burned?

"Hey back off"

"I don't mean any offense but I would like to know."

"It'll cost ya."

'It wasn't just burned it was destroyed.'

"It's-s why nothing will ever grow here now. It was as beautiful outside as it was inside. Plants grew to the size, I've never seen before."

"Aawh! What else?! Wait shut up don't tell them nothing they haven't given anything yet." 

"That was free you want anymore and It'll cost ya."

"It is something I will never forget. You want to know about this temple, then I will tell you it's what they would have wanted."

"We are on our way to the other temple outside of the next village from here."

"We will escort you both for free."

"Ha nothings for free whatcha wanting?"

"Just to know what happened. that alone to me would be enough to take you to the next temple."

"There was objects all along the walls. Each Chima had an alter some, were along the walls."

"The smell was." A bit of drool coming off the side of their mouth as memories of the smell came back.

"Food all across tables in the middle of the temple. We could eat all we wanted. I've never felt so full in my life."

"They do I always fill up on the food it's so good."

"I wasn't alone. Others little ones were there too. Even smaller ones"

"One by one everyone were laying around everywhere on the floor after eating and drinking." 

"But that was soon the end of the best parts of my life."

'Is that when everything burned?'

"Take your time, no need to rush."

"Is that when it burned?"

"It wasn't the first thing but the burning was later.."

 "It should have been the first. What happened next was.." their mouth open trying to think of a word to describe what happened.

"I'd like to know.."

 'Please.'

"Something very bad happened. I can't remember much more after" 

"More and more came inside pushing shoving. Arguments yelling and fighting everyone was either standing or crawling around as they began stepping on each other."

"What stopped them from getting out?"

"I was one of the few that was picked up and held up in the air. Some didn't get back up. A few people tried to open the door but the doors wouldn't open." 

"I remember someone saying something but I don't remember what it was but everyone began fighting more. I was placed on an Chima alter, there were other small ones were placed on other Chima alters out of the way from the fighting, smoke."

"Some made it some were not so lucky to make it. I saw everything.."

"The Keeper was there trying to stop the fighting. So much blood shed that day. It felt like eternity watching everyone "

"There was smoke" ..

"But smoke that wasn't smoke."

"Did you feel tired? sleepy?"

'Smoke that's not smoke?'

"I have an idea what your talking about. But please what happened next?"

"I don't remember much after the smoke but the screams-I I fell asleep and woke up far down the path in the next village. I don't remember ever making it out of that horrible but beautiful place."

"Why would someone do that to a beautiful place?"

"May Chima's and The DragonTree show mercy on us for allowing something like this to happen."

"But they destroyed the temple. I want to see what's inside! Isn't there another one?"

"Yeah but that's even further, than where we're going."

"Excuse me, but do you worship The DragonTree?"

"Yes and No"

"Why do you worship The DragonTree?"

"The DragonTree shelters those who needs shelter, feeds those that are hungry. Heals those that need healing. Me and my family are alive because of The DragonTree."

"You don't worship The DragonTree? Why not?" 

"The Dragontree isn't a god to be worshiped, its a place where all are welcome. No matter where you come from. I only wish The Chima's and The Keepers of The DragonTree forgives us. And find out what happened to make such a special place be destroyed."

"But I doubt The Keepers now will do anything about this. They haven't done anything."

"Who are The Keepers?"

"If I ever find out who or what did this I will make sure they pay for everything they took away from me that night."

"Excu-"

"We all will. It wasn't just the DragonTree that got destroyed. All Chima altars were destroyed in the destruction."

"There are other Chima temples right? Why not go to a new one?"

"None of the ones i've been to feel.." 

'Felt like what?'

"Home."

"If you could have stopped it would you?"

"I was small I was useless then but now I am old I am even more useless. I would have tried to save someone anyone if I would have been bigger stronger smarter. I could have saved everybody."

"No, no no it was never your fault. If you would have known you would have never got to go inside and see and eat all you did."

"You got something special."

"Special?! What do you mean? What can be so special about watching ev-"

"You got to see what real love and family is like. You got to see the smiles laughs smells and taste the foods and drinks."

"You saw only a very few get to see." 

"You got to be at peace and filled with joy and happiness."

"Keep that in your mind and in your heart."

 "The pain of those that didn't make it. Remember them smiling and laughing dancing around as they were. It's going to be hard, but don't forget about the other part."

"If you ever smell that again. Run don't look back don't turn around just run get away as quick as you can."

"You know the smoke?"

"Yes, I know that smoke you speak of."

"I'm so-so sorry."

"You mentioned The Keeper. Where can I find them?"

"Who is The Keeper of The DragonTree?"

"Do you not know who The Keeper is?"

"I don't know their name. But a word of advice don't ask for their name." 

"Nobody I know, knows."

"We only know them as The Keeper nobody dare ask their name."

"Why haven't the other temples rebuilt this one?"

"I don't know, but I remember when the temple here. It brought so many togethers I remember there was once a few buildings here, but now."

"You can see nothing was saved."

"I remember The Keeper of this temple. They were so kind."

"Why do you come back?"

"Because for a moment it was the most beautiful place. I have ever seen. Everyone ate together, laughed sang, danced."

"Do you know where we can find The Keepers?"

"Find a temple of The DragonTree and you'll find The Keepers"

"Do all of them have the same Keeper?"

"Yes."

"What happened to The Keeper of this one?"

"I see"

'So they didn't make it out either.'

"What do you mean they have the same Keeper?"

'How can someone be at all of them at the same time?'

"They might look different but they are all the same. So we call them The Keepers."

"This one."

'Yeah?'

"Was different."

'Different?'

"They were warm and kind."

"Just something about them."

"What would they do, if the other Keepers find out about a temple being destroyed?"

"Far as I know. Nothing, I don't think they know. If they do, why haven't they helped? Why would they do nothing?! Don't they care that one of them is.."

"I don't know but I will be finding out, and see these so called Keepers."

"Be warned The Keepers are not fools or weak in any sense."

'Let's hope not.'

"Why do you care so much? You are a stranger here."

"You say it was beautiful?"

"Very."

"I care cause something I can't help but do. I don't need to think about it I do."

'I want to see what you got to witness. The laughs smiles, dancing.'

"You will find it in every, Chima Dragonstree Temple you come to."

"From all the ones I have been too there isn't one that isn't."

"Are you going to one now? If so you can come along. I am sure we have room and enough supplies to last until we arrive at the next temple."

"Oh! come on free ride come on."

"Is it free?"

"Yes."

'We are on our way to one anyways so better to have someone that knows the way to the next than run around looking.'

"Come please journey with us, tell me all about these Keepers and temples."

"Yes we will join you."

"What? You? your going to.."

"Alright. didn't expect you to accept help from anyone. Especially someone you don't know."

'That's true, not everyone is as friendly as I am. But I'm glad they will be joining.'

"Would appreciate your help greatly for doing this. I think we can find the others once we get to the nearest one." 

"I'm sure we will be able to find the others if these Keepers will guide us to the next one and maybe more."

'Hopefully find out what happened here. If this was the place.'

"I will take you to any of The Dragontree temples you want."

"WHA-aat?! But we just got back. Why are we going back?"

"Wasn't there a certain someone you been wanting to see again? Weren't you ju-"

"I mean I'm not complaining."

"We can just deal with it whe-when it comes."

'Ha haha ha. Oh I'm sure. Well I hope that is a good thing, but at least we will have some guides with us.'

"Plus I have been gone for a long time, tell me about the Chima? Maybe they could help?"

Space Slow Chapter :// D

"They should be arriving soon."

"So we finally get to carry that, huh?"

"Yes, Mayam. We are still getting prepared for this. It shouldn't be much longer, before prep work is complete."

"Good make sure it does. This can not be messed up. Everything must be perfect."

"We are finally getting it. IT is an honor and privilege to have them aboard this ship."

"Uh, Mayam your drooling again."

"Remember this is only for a few month cycles then we will be moving it elsewhere. There is no reason to get so attat-"

"And what do you think of it being here? What are your personal feelings on the matter?"

"Off the record? I don't know how I feel about it, even after the briefing. Why are we continuously changing who carries it? Isn't it better off on a planet somewhere? Then mark that planet as classified?"

"It is okay to be scared."

"Off the record I was when I first found out about it being our turn. I've thought about every kind of situation and yet." 

"It will come and we will have it here. The safety of the crew as well as the rest of residents depends on us now." A ship came into view.
"Besides this thing might turn out to be fun. If nothing else might liven things up around here."

"MAYAM! Things don't need anymore livening up! We are still recovering from the last time things were to help liven things up!"

"Oh that was just a little fun between coworkers!"
"Being in stasis to escape from your duties isn't livening things up nobody could find you for four weeks.. and when someone did find out what happened all you could say was and I QUOTE! 'I fell'"

"Yes." clearing their throat softly 

"I fell"

"And why do you keep saying it that way! It's creepy!" Clearing their throat some before composing themselves

 "Off the record with do respect Mayam." 

"That is all I will say about it.."

"The ship is close." A chime sound as a holograph lit up against the wall showing a small ship on a course towards them.
"Tinier than, I would have expected."
"That's what they all say Mayam."

"Tiny or not, long as one knows how to use it. Is only the start but can they handle what's coming. Is the real question."
"Now the question we have to ask ourselves is can we handle such a tiny thing? Or will it overcome us."

"Mayam are you not confident in our crew to handle this?"
"I am confident in our crew but the residents may need to take some precautions for their safety and ours."

"Right. the precautions I was meaning to ask you about them.."

"They seem a little.."
"I had the same questions you probably have but yes it's all official and agreed on."

"But why aren't we supposed to go inside? Isn't it the whole point to take them out of the ship?!"

"Would you rather have them on board."

"At least we know where it will be and long as they don't exit without escort and everyone stays civil then it will be a breeze."

"EXACTLY, have their weapons systems been disabled? Why is it so specific on some areas and other areas its by regulations?"
"I know your concerns, but the good thing is I get to go welcome them. Alone in the ship so we will see if everything will go smoothly or not. Although I don't know about the outfit they want me to wear."

"I was meaning to ask what those things were for. So they want you to wear this how?"
"I will be wearing my uniform underneath them, but it is a odd outfit. from my home planet I haven't worn any of this in a very long time. 

It is written I have to dress in this for the first meeting, afterwards it will."
"Oh? Your home planet Mayam."

"Your people wore something like that before? There seems to be pieces of the outfit missing if I'm correct."

"Are you sure this is all the outfit?"

"Of course! I-I Ah had to try it on beforehand so everything would fit correctly."

"You didn't take anything for your self would you Mayam?"

"Listen, when I am in there there is only a set amount of time before I will be coming back out. there are pieces of that outfit that will be put on inside the ship."

 "If I don't make it out by the designated time wait ten more minutes. If I still don't come out."

"Don't do anything, just seal up the door and explain to the next ship captain."

"What happened and they will know what to do."

"Mayam what are you saying? You will be escorted by myself and"

"No, reread everything again.."

"I will be going in alone in the full uniform. The docks will be in lock down behind me as I walk in. The time will begin once I enter into the ship"

"This is getting out of hand.."

"If there is any sign of danger you have my permission to empty out the air within the docks."

"Let's hope it doesn't come to that.."

"You may have odd tendances, and your language when your temper arrives."

"Oh and don't forget about the time you-"

"Alright. that's enough.."

"Was there a point anywhere in that?"
"Mayam, I doubt that will happen. All accounts aside."

"I don't believe that will be necessary, whatever it is even with that.."

 "Outfit? Suit? Uniform? You are the highest ranking official on this ship and respected from all crews and most residents."

"I think I get it thank you, but this is my duty."

 "Thank you for everything."

"Mayam!"
"No signal"
"Alright, it's time."
"Oh this is so exciting, heh but I have dealt with worse. This is." 

"my ship." 

"This is it, huh."

 "Let's see if I remember how to put this on."
"Greetings.." clearing their throat some a lump seemed to stop them from speaking.

"It is a honor to have you aboard. and imprisoned here."
"No that's no good.."
".. I guess I'll enter in the code."
"MAYAM! WAIT!"
"Wha-WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? GET OUT OF HERE THIS IS A RESTRICTED AREA!"
"Let go of me?! Hey what are you doing!" 
"I'm sorry Mayam but we all have voted that this is not normal and It will be processed just like everything else that is contained here!"

"So we are doing what we are ordered to Mayam. Now what is the code"
"You IDIOTS this is above even me! stop wait!"

"I ORDER YOU ALL TO STOP THIS INSTANT!"
"Sorry Mayam that is not going to happen! Afterwards deal with us how you will, this whole situation is against protocol!" 

"Squads advance enter into the ship and bring them out unharmed unless there is resistance! Place them in a holding cell until further instruction."
"Well? Does anyone have eyes on them?"
 "Anyone?"

 "Hey answer me!"
 "This is an order answer!"
 "You really are an idiot."

"I told you to stop but noooo you didn't listen! Now let me go!"
"Now I have to go clean up your mess!"
"I'm coming! Wait! I apologize about my crew they are just trying to do the right thing!" 

"I'm sorry I.." stopping as the body's of those that rushed in were laying on top of each other. 

"Mayam I take full resp- spon.."

"What-what happened? This doesn't make sense.."

"NOW YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MAKE THE TOUGH CALLS!"

 "What? What have I done? I never thought"

 "Exactly you didn't think, I understand you wanted to protect me. But I can handle myself, besides if I were to be the one this happened to everyone else would have been safe!"

"H-hey.." staring in dread, lowering themselves down and examined the body next to their leg.

 "I'm here" checking their vitals with a small device placing it near their body.

 "..Their alive.", heart beats continue as each body was knocked out and it seemed they fell into each other. "Alive.."

 "alive haha.." 

"th-thank you. Maybe we can." 

"fix this after all.."

 "Their ah."

"alive? But how?" Both began checking each body. No injuries, but they were placed into a coma like state. Tears of joy ran down their faces glad to know they were still alive.

A soft rattling came from the the next door inside of the ship. Their body froze at the sound, gently getting up and moved along the wall towards the door. 

"This is the captain of this ship you have docked in."

"I am requesting access to your whereabouts! My crew here I thank you for not harming them. They are loyal and kinda stupid sometimes." Stepping closer to the door being careful not to step on anybody. 

"But they mean well.."

"I promise you." Leaning their head slowly into the next room, it was the bridge. A single large seat sat in the middle with a large control panel, other seats were positioned around the room. Some of the consoles didn't seem to have power as others were softly glowing with symbols.

Stepping inside slowly looking at the consoles before a figure appeared near the wall. Turning their head to them still in their outfit, the other stepping slowly into the room as well. Turning their attention to the wall noticing the figure.

 "Wa-wait."

"Mayam!?" Rushing forward only to lower their body to the ground. 

"Please forgive us.." 

"(rankname)"  

"So.." 

"uh. I hope this will not cause any issues in the fu-" 

Lifting up a shackled body suit waving their glove gesturing to those upon the floor. Turning away slightly as it was connected to the ship by both suit and to a cable line running along the inside of the ship. 
"Wh-oh oh yes thank you for understanding. Then can I ask you to please stay in this room until all my crew are removed then afterwards we can do this properly?"
Their helmet lowered some in a bow before leaning against the wall. 

"Thank you." Getting slapped in the side as they both move out of the room locking the door behind them at the panel by the door. Staring at the door, 

"Attention medical team to the docking bay asap. I repeat medical team to the docking bay asap." 

Ending the announcement as they both looked at each other for a moment 

"Mayam.. I."

 "You are still taking responsibility of your actions. Your choices have consequences.."

"Luckily nobody was injured. so count this as a lucky close call.."

 "You might not have another one like this.."

 "Understood?"

Lowered their gaze to the floor of the door slightly lowering themselves down. 

"Get up and let's get our people out of here.." 

"NOW move move move!" Jumping up turning around and quickly began helping pick up one crew member after another. Medical teams were rushing in with both weapons drawn and medical devices at ready.

 "Everyone careful with their bodies, form a line and please no crowding." Each member quickly putting away their weapon and most used their medical devices as others carried and helped transport them all to medbay.

Standing in front of the door in their outfit with a slight blush on their face. They were getting looks from the medical staff mixed confusion and some curiousness at seeing the captain in some revealing clothing. Staying nearby helping and directing members where to go and how to help, before assisting in their removal. Staying firmly in front of the door having their arms behind their back standing at attention.

Watching quietly and directing everyone when needed to. 

"What are you looking at?! Go! Help them!" 

"Mayam?!"

 "What is it?" 

"Everyone is now been taken to the medbays. Reports all show they are all in the clear. No casualty's there hasn't been any damage to either mental or physical they may start waking up at random moments. Hopefully soon." 

"Mayam, I know I've messed up but I-i had to do something. It is my responsibility to make things right."

"I have to come with you."

"No! Absolutely not!" 

"That's out of the question I am the Captain of this ship so it falls onto me to make things right, and it is also my responsibility to find a suitable punishment for going against my orders!"

"Besides going against the agreement and almost causing a tragedy!"

"You and those that disobeyed a direct order will be dealt with when I am done. Hopefully this will not cause and trouble for any of us."

"You are going to leave and will not be coming back into this ship. This is a direct order and will be followed!"

"Understood?"

"That is an order so this will n" The door slid open as the line would slide along the doorframe. Standing on the other side of the door staring at them both.

"Ever-happen." Clearing their throat. Leaning over looking down at the ground seeing the bodies were gone. 

 "We just finished." Looking back up and nodded before raising their arms up as their shackles smacked against each other. Soon pointing to (rank) turning their head to look at them.

"They were just leaving. Now thank you for your report dismissed."

 "I will be right there please." Turning around, gesturing to them back to the room stepping aside some trying to block their view of (name).

Walking around and followed the line, the restraints dragged along the ground. Stepping in front of them as they walked towards a hallway their arms open.

"It was my Idea It was me. I ordered them to come in. But I will not Allow even you to disrespect The Captain get back into the room" Stopping and listened, turning around to stare at them, 

"I-I"

Seeing their own face and body in the visor of the helmet. "I am taking my consequences of my actions! I have broke the order.." 

"And now I will wait for my punishme-" Stepping forward quickly wrapping arms around their body hugging them warmly. 

"AAAaaah! Aah!" Struggled for a moment screaming out in surprise, but also before standing there soon shivering. 

"I" Their body slowly lowered down placing themselves on their knees. 

"Please forgive them. They are" Reaching up with a glove touching their head softly running their fingers along their head.

Their body went limp falling upon them, although they were taller. Held them in their arms before carrying their body over to The Captain was a simple slow walk. They shifted the body and gently resting their body. Lifting their gaze seeing the body, reaching out quickly checking their vitals. Turned around continuing their way down the hallway. 

"Medical team come get (name rank). All those that are in the medical bay once awaken place them in the holds and DO NOT! Let them leave until I talk with them."

"We read you loud and clear Mayam. Medical team on their way, do you need assistance?"

"No, once the medical team arrives and takes ()" Walking back holding its gloves together before stopping behind the Captain. Their helmet tilted to the side listening and watching. "I will be putting this ship off limits anyone so much as breaths on it will be sent to the hold. This is a order I EXPECT TO BE FOLLOWED! DO I make my self clear!"

"Yes Mayam, Understood."

Standing behind the captain with a small container in between its gloved fingertips. Opening up their gloves as a small flicker came from the container. Striking the captain in the back as they fell their body jolting. Landing on the floor as their body twitched their mouth open trying to speak but no words came out.

Stepping over their body as their boots stood in front of the captain. Looking down at them as their eyes stared up in terror. Their own body wasn't moving the way they wanted. 'I don't wanna die. I'm s-s-so-orry! Forgive us please!' Leaning down grabbing a hold of the captains body picking them up and placed them over their shoulder. Twitching while being picked up, their eyes stared down at the floor. Watching their body being carried, seeing they were walking down the hallway away from (name).

'Atleast this should be a example of what not to do!' Carrying the captain down the hallway turning a corner to another part of the ship. The shackles pulsed along the base of their gloves, .

Monsters and Maidens //Chapter Four: What's with this brat?!

 "WHO CUT DOWN MY TREE?! I will make you pay for that! You hear me?!" Osoroth bursting through the door with her body passing through the wood of the door. Moss patches along the floorboards when she walks inside, but later dissolve into the floorboards. "S-sir. I don't know how much longer I can hold it in.." Her toes were curling up as she placed her face further in the blanket.

"He-ey what? Alright, almost done Cherat. Calm down Osoroth, what happened?" Looking at her then to Osoroth. Cherat was under him gripping the bedsheet's with her face hiding in the blanket. Osoroth stares for a moment confused at what she was seeing. "Whatever you're doing it can wait. Who cut down my tree?!"

"BITCH! I'm the one that cut your tiny ass tree!" Jane called out from the living room stomping around flipping her hair to the side. "Besides it was in my way." Osoroth tensed up before turning around running out the door. "You know how long it took me to make that beautiful tree?!"  "Well, you put it in a bad spot. So it's your fault" The door closed behind Osoroth as a fight soon began in the living room. ".. Sorry you've been holding it for a while you can release now."

Cherat's legs buckled under her as she swirled her hips trying to keep her body up. His hands caressed over her back moving along to her sides. Her mouth opened as heavy breaths forced out of her mouth. Her eyes clenching tightly as her hands gripped the bed sheet even tighter, leaning her head down biting into the corner of a pillow. "Th-Thank you, S.AH-Sir. M-more? Please?"

Chances taken away chapter :// K

 "We kept it untouched for you.." The door creaking open as a cold wind blew from inside frosting the door on the inside doorway. Pushing the door fully open with their head down not looking inside only at the floor. The darkness was only brief as light shined in touching a frosted and ice scattered room.

"We."

"Did what you always said."

"Kept it on ice." 

Laying lifeless ice wrapped around its body every part frozen in place. A large puff of smoke came from his mouth as he coughed slightly. Slowly stepping into the room the frost melting away as he stepped making footprints towards the body.

"I.."

"should have-" 

"There is nothing you could have done.."

"They fought well and gave it their all You'd be proud of them both." he was interrupted by () holding the door open for him. Their head stayed lowered eyes closed, their grip on the door soft.

His feet touched ice, walking into the room as it melted making a permanent footprint. Lifting up his arms hesitant to touch the iced body. Stopping next to the body, kneeling down his knees touched the ground. The frost, ice began melting and dissolving in a matter of seconds.

 "I."

"Could have." Lowering his head down bowing down in front of the body.

His words in a tone rarely heard, deep with a growl, his hands forming fists out in front of him. His hands opening and closing still hesitant to touch the body as it was soon freed from the ice. Wooden objects in the room began to crackle, before turning into petrified wood. Taking a deep breath as tears began to fall still bowing.

 "I-I would have just got in the way, just like always."

"Probably, but you are here now." lifting his head after wiping away his tears. 

"I .."

"need a moment could you?" His head glanced over towards the door. 

"Of course, sir." The door closing as they exited out the room waiting outside.

 "Now we are outside I would like you all to ignore anything you may hear from that room." Turning around with their back to the door, "Move along please when everything is finished we will come and get you all."

"Now if you don't mind." They gestured away, standing in front of the door blocking it from being opened.

"What?"

 "Hey, watch it." 

"What do you mean?" 

"What was that thing?"

 "What's going on?" More questions began to come up. 

Each from someone different, "Silence! I thought you were his friends, if you don't know this much about him then learn something now!" 

Their eyes glowing with rage, "One question and I will answer it.." Their eyes shined softly glancing at the door. "If.. that is okay with you. sir.."

"I can still hear you all behind the door.. 

Yes it is fine..

 please.. 

go further from the door so I can concentrate on this please.."

 "B-but?"

 "No buts. you too.

. just lock the door and keep the key on you..

 okay?" "Okay.. 

but should you need me sir.. 

I-I am only a yell away.." Looking around at the others before locking the door and holding onto the key tightly in their palm.

"Now.. I will answer your question." they slowly began scooting their feet on the ground hesitant on walking away from the door. Gesturing everyone to move as they turned around and began walking away from the door. A few stared behind them at the door for a few steps, walking back down the hallway. "One question.. only one so ask when you all decide on it." It was silent during the walk before coming to a corner at the end of the hallway.

Some murmerred to each other thinking of what to ask. "I thought you never called anyone Sir."

 "calling it a word of great insult calling someone Sir. Why did you call him that then? Insulting your-"

 "He is more of a man, than any of you could ever hope to be."

"He has given me the honor of calling him Sir! Calling another Sir! WOULD be an insult TO HIM!" Interrupting them, while standing firmly behind everyone fire in their eyes staring at them all with a mix of admiration and lust. A bit of drool coming from their lips before wiping it away.

Clearing their throat, composing themselves for a moment before looking back at them. "That was your one question now leave."

"I will not allow any to interrupt him." walking back before turning around halfway down the hall. 

"Now please leave us." 

(Narrowed her eyes before turning around the corner her paws clenched into fists stomping away. Her fur standing up high on her body as her tail swelled up as her fur bristled out.) 

"FINE! CLEARLY! HE IS IN BETTER COMPANY!" (a growl in her voice as her face was flushed a deep purple. Running past everyone going back to her room, passing by everyone flames were flaring from her eyes changing colors. Matching the purple of her face, her eyes closed tightly.)

 Sarah running behind following trying to keep up as she exhaled sharply. "A..Aa!" Sarah panting in the hallway chasing behind her. Her feet trying to keep up with her. "Aa!" Waving to come *

Chances taken away Chapter ://U "windswept" my version

Looking up at the stars in the sky, "On that night under the staircase." taking a soft deep breath. "Our arms drifting do-own." moving his hands down from in front of him. "Your kiss made me a believer." wrapping his arms arm himself.

"Cleansed my sins somehow." closing his eyes, holding himself a little tighter. "I'll be what you need." a small smile upon his face. "I'll keep you inside my fortress." lifting his arms up and spreading them open in front of him. "Hand you the keys." holding his arms open to the stars above.

"Leave you to roam these halls." The clouds above stayed still for a moment. Shifting around before forming into ghostly beings. A large building came into view made of clouds, "But you tore down the keep." The cloud shot a lightning bolt across the sky with a soft rumble. "I returned to find ruins."

The beings and building colliding together with another lightning bolt webbing out before disappearing into the clouds. Thunder rumbling along as the clouds parted drifting apart. "You left all my love." A lone cloud being drifted around looking around "In the rubble with these walls."

Taking a deep breath as his hand reached down picking up a guitar placing it on his stomach. "But in my head." Strumming along the strings, the cloud grew slowly. "I am still there." The cloud being began building and shaping another large building,"I can still feel you."

The cloud being, stared at the building floating around it touching the sides every so often. "Breathing slow." tapping of leaf's nearby along with the melody, the wind began to pick up slightly. "I've known this dream for a long time."

Closing his eyes for a moment as the wind blew across his body, "In the air." Opening up his eyes seeing the cloud being lowering itself down onto the ground. "Suspended here."

His eyes widen picking himself up from the ground to stand, continued to strum the strings. "With thousands of words we've spoken." Each being a few feet apart, the cloud being taking a step forward. "Can I soar?" Each one slowly stepped towards each other, stopping only to stand infront close to each other.

 "Up through the clouds?" He looked at the cloud being and smiled softly as the moonlight shined down highlighting the ground around. "Leave all of this beh-h-h-i-i-ind?" The cloud being scooping him up as they both flew up into the air. His grip on his guitar slipped as he held onto it tightly shaking for a moment before laughing happily. Slowly opening up his arms flying through the air in the night sky. For a moment he was up in the air before reaching land once more.

Adjusting himself before strumming on the guitar once again. Clearing his throat softly smiled, "But in my head." The cloud being sitting themselves down upon the grass, listening. "I am still there." bowing some as the cloud tilted its head slightly.

He swayed slowly to the melody, "I can still feel you." the cloud being watching as it begins to sway with him. "Breathing slow." Strumming the strings softly "I've known this dream for a long time."

Closing his eyes, as bit of smoke came from him mouth. "All alone." blowing his smoke up into the clouds above. The cloud building became expanding "I feel your breath." thunder rumbles in the clouds "I hear your whispers."

The cloud being looking up at the clouds above."Dark like storms." his eyes opened staring softly at the cloud being. "Telling me, 'Dear, I'll never leave your mind' " He was silent for a moment.

"Greetings, I hope you've enjoyed the song so far, stay if you wish or stay you are free to do what you'd like." bowing his head slightly as the cloud being continued to sway. "Uh.. can you understand me?" He looked at the cloud being and tilted his head the opposite way it's head was.

"Well I guess you think this is part of the song.. my apologies" He smiled softly hopping from one foot to the other. as he continued strumming. stepping up like stairs moving upward towards the sky as the cloud being followed floating beside. "And you've been there all along." He smiled at the cloud being,

"Tugging me, pulling me down." something tugging him back as he stumbled for a moment looking back. Nothing was there confused he continued up the air-stairs. "Touching him, holding him close." Looking up at the cloud building, expanding across the sky.

The cloud being following him before moving up to it's cloud building. "You've made your home." More cloud beings floated close to the building entering in. "And I see your face through his eyes." Once the cloud being entered into the building it began fighting with the other cloud beings as they were destroying the inside. 

"With every move of your hips." Looking up at the building as the lighting bolts thundered through the sky. He stopped for a moment standing in the air looking up at the clouds. "You're breaking my bones." the cloud being was thrown out of the building and began dissolving some falling towards the ground. "While holding me hostage."

His eyes widened as he took off running across the sky. Catching the cloud being in his arms as he let go of the guitar as it fell towards the ground. Catching his breath for a moment taking a deep breath, his voice was soft. "Could I still love you?"

Looking over the cloud being slowly dissolving in his arms. "Though my arms are breaking?" His arms shook, the cloud being moved its head towards him as his voice was shaky but continued singing. "Could we still be alone?"

Pulling the cloud being close, closing his eyes as a tear began forming, "Do I still know you?" opening up his eyes seeing the cloud being shift their face as they smiled. "Are you still my answer?" He smiled back softly as a tears rolled down his cheeks, as the last bit of the cloud being dissolved before his eyes.

"To the question. I've asked since I was born?" Standing there looking at his empty arms. Moving his arms back top his sides stepping upward to the sky. His head leaned back looking at the clouds above seeing the building being torn apart as the sky cleared. Stepping upward as his pace quickened.

"S..STOP!" He yelled running upward to the clouds. His guitar broken in pieces along the ground, he continued towards the clouds. It wasn't long before the building was gone as the clouds dissolved leaving him standing high up in the sky staring up at the night sky. "Why?" was the only thing he could say before leaning back and falling back down to the ground with tears coating his eyes and cheeks.

A splash as he landed in the lake, letting himself slowly sink. his body soaked in seconds from the water. 'Why? everytime..' His arms slowly lifted up as he stared at his arms memories of those he has held in his arms began to flash before his eyes. Keeping his eyes open while sinking. His tears mixed with the water bubbles coming up to the surface of the water.

His head turned slightly before his vision began to blurr and everything slowly turned dark. A figure was swimming closer to him, 'This is it, I'm going to be eaten. ripped apart. I guess it's my turn to die too.' he thought to himself closing his eyes feeling light, everything that hurt slowly began to fade. The last bubble came from his lips, his body finally reached the bottom of the lake. His body laid motionless at the bottom.

Space Slow Chapter :// J

Over the radio, automated voice calls out with a polite and happy tone. "Thank you. For your contribution to The Krispy Kat Space Society. Have a great day." Staring at the screen, "Yeah. had a great time, thank you for having me. I'll try and come back sometime." 

The radio was silent for a moment, "Next time bring more of those yummy things!" A child's voice came through the radio with laughter following. 

"OH Of course I'll be sure to bring a big container of them for you. but you got to share with everyone else!" laughter continued as the child's voice screamed. "NO MINE!!" A bit of a pout in the voice. "Fiiine, I'll share with everyone."

Another females voice said aloud. "GET OFF THERE! That's for bus-" The child talking over her, "OKAY! BYE! DON'T FORGET THE YUMMIES!" giggles were heard before the radio went silent once again.

 Chuckling softly shaking their helmet, "Alrighty, if that's all. I'll be signing off now." Waiting for a moment as the radio was silent reaching up to turn the switch off.

"Are you still there?"

Moving their arm back down gripping the arm of the chair, "Oh.."

"He-hey yeah still here was about to-"

  "Will you be back soon?" silence feel on the radio after she had interrupted them.

"I-uh hopefully I would like to come by again.." A soft "Oh." came from the otherside of the radio.

"Did you want me to grab you something too?" silence fell over the radio. "Hello?" they asked before waiting for a response. "Sorry, I should let you go."

The radio connection was disconnected, sitting in the chair for a moment. Reaching up turning off the switch. "Oh-Okay."

"I'll talk to you later." Placing their arms down along the chair leaning more into the chair.

Chances taken away Chapter :// M

Sitting at the edge of a cliff looking out at the world below, the land below was filled with trees and wildlife. A ray of light began shining against his face. "..I've been waiting for you my old friend.." A pair of golden hazel eyes stressing to open to look at the horizon. "Yes.. My answer is yes." A gleam of light went across his eyes the colors of his eyes began to change.

Closing his eyes and covering them with his hand, "But why you always gotta blind someone with that light of yours.. I work nights remember. careful with the sun in the eyes." A small smile strained to appear on his face before chuckling to himself. "Ha.. I know I messed up, I always mess up. I really do try." lowering his head down looking at the ground below. "... I guess, at least can I maybe if it's alright.. keep all my skills, knowledge, abilities this time?"

 Lowering his hand down into his lap, "E-everything, anything I can do here I could do there.. I-I really could use them a lot there." slowly lifting his head from looking at the ground to the horizon once again to see the sky filled with fire along the clouds. "I could help so many. Plus I could use it all to make things better for everyone. sure I want to make things better for myself too, but somehow it doesn't feel like that's in the cards for me.. Is it?"

The smile slowly began to fade, "Yeah.. I know that's selfish of me, but I want to have fun too." Fighting to smile closing his eyes and feeling the warmth upon his eyelids. "I want to laugh dance sing play around I want to be able to catch up with everyone and know the joys they do." Inside his mind he was laughing dancing around singing along to the music that was playing. The air shifted as the image was quickly gone as soon as it arrived. Froze in place for a moment before slowly leaning back laying his back against the ground as his feet dangle over the cliff.

"O-okay." His voice was soft and disheartened "Alright.. I got no choice then." Sitting himself up tears wanting to form as he kept his eyes closed. "Alright. sorry. sorry" Lowering his head with a nod. "Okay." The light shined against his face more, reaching up wiping his face. Taking a deep breath, before getting up onto his feet and turned walking away from the cliff. Arriving at a small pond looking at his reflection which he seen nothing no matter how much he stood over the pond.

".. why can't I see my reflection.. I guess this is my who am I pond huh?" Looking around some as the light shown the landscape more. "I .. beautiful as always." His eyes teared up at the scenery a large smile grew on his face. "Okay this is cool.." A large structure was nearby covered in vines and tree's were sprouting from the sides. "Heh, that is one big tree house."

 Stepping towards the structure with a long staff following along side him, stepping away from the staff. "Oh hello your new.. oh-oh gotcha okay." stopping for a moment to look over the staff better. The wood was etched along the lower half with ancient markings. The top of the staff a piece of cloth wrapped around the top. "Oh no you didn't.. my.. my" His hand reached over to grab it, a faint light shined zapping his hand away from the staff. "Ow what the why.." Pulling his hand away rubbing it hand, flexing his fingers, "Alright, go ahead finish describing it then..dam.." He waited awkwardly humming a tune.

The staff was naturally curved, only forked at the base of the staff as a half point. Atop the staff under the wrap was pulsing with energy. The etches upon the staff glowed softly near him. Looking at the staff, "This is cool, oh this-s c-cool." Waiting for a moment before slowly reaching out his hand again. "Oh.. come on. one little touch?" 

Another strike to his hand. "Ow ow.. ugh taunting me that's what your doing.." Looking at the staff and shrugged a bit. "Fine.." Throwing his arms up in the air and walking away continuing on to the structure. Lowering his arms down to his sides while walking, the staff followed behind. "I'll have a cool looking staff but I can't even use it.."

The staff floated by his side, while he made his way around to the front of the structure, or at least to where a place that looked like a door would be. "Hm.." Looking along the doorframe before walking over to the door pushing it open with one hand.

 "Hmm.. Helll-oooo!!!!???" He asked aloud as it echoed with a rumble. Blinking hearing the rumble, "Huh.. must be the stor-mage" chuckled softly looking around. "Of course nobody around.. that was a good one." shaking his head with a sigh. "No. it was not a good joke haha."  Walking into the structure alongside the staff following inside. Once inside the structure began lighting up as all the electronics were activated at once. "Whoa.. Ooo.. HA! Okay that's kinda creepy... but cool.."

 Looking at the staff moving his hands away, "Well uh, I won't force you to do stuff for me or anything like that.. You can do whatever you like, but please be kind at least?" The staff glew dim then bright. "I'm going to assume that you agree.." Looking around while talking to the staff that continued to follow him around. "Well, I just got here and you just got here. Looks like, we are both new." turning to look at the staff.

"So let's try and get along? Cause. I'm willing to give this a shot if you are. Can you even understand me?" thinking about it now as he rubbed his chin. "If you can understand me please give me a sign that you understand. Glow brightly."

 Looking at the staff watching it carefully as the light grew brighter almost. Lifting up his hand to shield his eyes from the light. "Oh shit, okay yea  yea yea.. okay good awesome.. so.. uh" The light dimmed as he removed his hand from his face. "Okay I can communicate with you sweet, alright that makes things easier.."

"Uh.. but what to ask you.. I doubt you can tell me." Staring at the staff for a while, "Why, I can't touch you?" Slowly reached out to touch the staff, "You're my staff right? I should be able to defend myself with you." The staff flew up to the ceiling then moved around erratically. Staring at the sight slowly tilting his head some.

"...Are you mad at me?! What did I do?!" He exclaimed as the staff flipped around and continued moving around erratically. He stared at the staff, "My staff hates me.." lowering his head staring at the floor, "You're taunting me.. aren't you?" The point of the staff jabbed him in the stomach. "Ow fuck ow okay ow ow.." stumbled back holding onto his stomach feeling around. "ay.. okay okay.. i'm okay.."

His attention back on the staff holding his stomach nearing a wall. "Are.. we cool now?" He asked, stepping out of being between the staff and the wall. The base of the staff slammed on the ground making the ground shake slightly. "Alright.. Imma assume that's a no, can you at least keep the lights on.. please?"

The staff shifted some before lifted itself from the ground following beside him keeping the lights on nearby making it easier to get around. "Thank you." smiling softly, "Alright, since we are together and here.. Can you give me any information on you? or any kind of communication would be good."

The staff swayed back and forth slightly, staring at the staff as he stood in place. "..." Waiting a while before drawing a heavy sigh. ".. I guess not.." Hopping on top of a metal container, rubbing his chin some in thought. "Well what do I call you? What's your name? Do you have a name? What else can you do other than fly and turn on lights? Any details or instructions you can give me would be helpful.."

Silence echoed through the building as metal creaked slightly in the distance. Waiting for an answer but with each question there was no answer only the staff swaying back and forth slowly in front of him. Drawing another heavy sigh he placed his cheek in the palm of his hand. ".. So this is going to be information when it's needed kinda thing huh?.."

 The staff tapped the ground, he jumped up staring at the staff. ".... WHAT?! NO! I-I give-give me something w-w-will ya? Ah-at least one more thing a-a-ah name a destination a..a.. s-so-something.." studdaring in excitement and hopes of getting some more information on what was going on. Waiting more as he stared at the staff.

"Please? I'd like something to go off of.. am I suppose to go somewhere? or do something?" Waiting on the staff as it swayed back and forth. "Answer me this then.. If I ask the right questions will you answer?" The staff lowered itself on the ground standing upright alone and without assistance.

He froze breathless. "Yes, okay.. okay" His brain seemed to go blank with questions only staring at the self standing staff stood a few feet away from him, "I.. um wasn't expecting that to happen but okay. we're okay." Closing his eyes and rubbing his head trying to think of a question but nothing was coming to mind at the moment. 

Then he froze having a random though before fixing his hair opening up his eyes to stare at the staff still standing in front of him

"uh.. Do you have any questions for me?" He asked sitting up straight placing his hands in his lap twiddling his thumbs. He sat waiting and keeping his posture unsure on how if anything the staff would answer. A few moments went by as they both seemed to be staring back at each other. "You got nothing.. You went brain dead when I asked you about asking me.." 

The staff lifted up into the air quickly, he flinched covering his head with his arms "whoa.. whoa sorry sorry." His eyes were closed tightly before opening up his eyes moving his arm some to see the staff. "Hey hey." The staff stayed its distance from him. slowly lowering his arm down looking at the staff pulsing with light near the base and top.

"Didn't mean to-" a loud crash came from the room nearby. He quietly climbed up more onto the metal container. "O-okay" he whispered crawling along the top of the metal container to look through a nearby window frame. Creeping his head near the window frame to see what was going on in the room. The staff stayed in place glowing, he looked from one side of the room to the other. A bit of dust blew off the window frame, a creature hopped into view.

 His eyes went wide staring at the creature, his jaw dropped a bit speechless as he stared in awe. "Oa?" was the only sound he could think to make. The soft tap of hooves stepping around inside the next room. He gulped a bit of saliva whispering as he spoke. "H-hey st-staff you-you seeing this?" Turning his head then lowering himself some looking at the staff.

 "This?" The staff was no longer there a hatchet like weapon was twisting and twirling around. "..hey.. Hey? N-now there's something in the next room.. I rather not" pushing himself against the wall, staring at the weapon. "Calm down, it's okay. Bud hey staff.. uh hatchet weapon.. thing. it's okay calm down no worries it's... It's" 

Lifting his head up to quickly peek through the window again. "It.. it's leaving going away.. Se-see" turning his head back around and the staff was glowing softly.

"See.. their going we don't have to fight it.. we can go around." clearing his throat and slowly getting up off of the metal container. Stretching his legs some rubbing along his sides a bit. "Okay okay, alright. I'll show you how we can go around without fighting." The staff tapped at the ground,"Yeah, sneak around.. if I fail we.. could alway run." 

The staff stomped on the ground at the last comment. "Fine, but its a last result." The staff tapped lightly into the next room, he took a heavy breath following behind the staff before looking around for anything of interest. "Hmm. I'm sure, we will find something.. somewhere." 

The shelving laying on the ground from the creature knocking it over. A bushel of fur knotted up at the corner of the shelving. Stepping towards the fur, "..There's no way.." he whispered crouching down to get a closer look at it. Reaching into his cloak pulling out a clear container, opening up the lid and moved the container under the bushel. 

The fur was sucked in almost instantly, once the container was closed hoof marks began to appear along the ground. "..Oh noice. I'll have to keep you. She'd be upset if I didn't." Placing the container back into his cloak. "I guess I could get some souvenirs for everyone. Wonder what they'd like from here.."

The staff stomped on the ground multiple times. "Hm? What? Do you want something from here too? I can hold onto it for you if you want." The staff stayed still for a moment before floating over to a door on the other side of the room where the creature had gone. 

".. You want that?" The staff tapped on the ground as he groaned heading towards the door. "O.. okay but if that's what you really want.. I'll grab more of this" Taking out the container with the bushel of fur in it swirling around in a circle, with the lid on before placing the container back into his cloak

"When we think of a plan we can take it on, but I.. don't really like using violence. So I don't think. I'll be much good in a fight like that." The staff glowed brightly and stomped on the ground. Stepping back some looking at the staff before nodding with a  sigh, "Alright but only if, I have no other choice.." 

His hands rubbed against each other slowly taking breaths while walking through the door. "Only .if. I have no other choice.." he said softly to himself walking into a hallway the echo of his steps were softening. "Only ..if.." Stopping as a sound of hooves tap along the floor further down the hallway echoed through the hallway.

Lowering himself down to the ground and slipped behind a container halfway down the hall. His footsteps were quiet and quick stopping behind the container. Keeping his eyes on the container with slow breaths coming from his mouth. His voice barely audible.

 "Can we catch it? we could catch it so we don't have to kill it right... you want to catch it right?" Glancing over at the staff only to see the hatchet-like weapon was steady floating next to him with the handle pointing towards him. ".. I. we can catch it.. capture.. we-we can have it without killing it." 

The weapon pulled away as it bent and contorted its frame making into a bag. The handle wrapped around his body pulling him close. The bag hung off of him at his side. "Ah! I'm sorry! I don't." He pulled and tugged on the bag some. "Okay, okay.. We're-we're okay." lightly touching the bags corners and strap that was wrapped around him. 

"Okay so.. I'm okay to touch you like this right?.." the bag slaps his side with the strap. "Ow. ow okay not to much got it.." removing his hands from the bag. Looking down the of the rest of the hallway. "I'm going to assume you need me to pull stuff from you right?" Glancing at the bag as it gave a soft squeeze. "Alright.. that's good enough for me, please let it be something that'll help."

Down the hallway at a corner room a bushel of fur was stuck in the doorway into a room far at the end of the hall. Holding onto the bag close stepping around the floor his focus was on the doorway. There were other doors leading to different rooms broken down doors some collapsed onto themselves as others had holes in random places piercing through both sides of the doors. Glancing at some of the holes, "These.. look.. familiar I've seen things like this before." His finger tip grazed along the outside of one of the holes. "Tickets' Please." 

Another voice sounded from a room he had just passed, making him almost stumble before catching himself. Lifting his head up some in shock looking around. "Tickets' Please." The voice was from a automation activating suddenly, it was only a few seconds before footsteps were being made around inside the room the voice came from. Large and heavy equipment sounded inside of the room. His pace quickened reaching the doorway slowly peeking inside. The sound of hooves on the ground was replaced by machinery running nearby

Reaching up and taking off the bushel of fur from the doorframe with the container. Looking at the container in his hand, soon placing it back into his cloak. "Tickets' Please." was louder than before as the mechanical voice was coming at the door to the room it was in. The steps stopped at the door, "Tickets' Please." a mechanical arm reached out of the door. 

The hand felt around the door, his eyes stared at the arm his body froze in place. His whole body went cold, he heard the voice. 'We gotta go, now!' pushing his body running inside of the room. Running into a large open area, crates stacked on one side of the room. "Oh. this looks like a boss room." He said softly as he continued to run holding onto the bag. Only stopping to pick more bushels of fur storing each one into the same container.

"Tickets' Please." called out still through the other room as a loud metal crash suddenly came from the room. A moment of silence, as he turned his head to look at the doorway. Stepping backwards towards the other end of the room focused on the doorway. Clenching the bag closer, "Tickets' please." footsteps and metal scrapping came from the other room.
