(Alright!) Portokáli walked through the soft dirt and rocks of the pathway with Cygnus soaring above her. She wasn't sure her legs could move much more but the constant feeling of him watching her made her move faster with each step. She was told by Cygnus that there was someone she had to meet, and of course, she was intrigued, so she was excited to meet them. She flinched and nearly yelped when she saw Core suddenly appear in front of her and she felt like she was staring at Death itself as she looked into his cold, dead eyes. She saw his wings flap open and she shivered, remembering why they look like that. She took a step back before seeing him smile and whisper to her, "Don't think for a second you can a peaceful life. We have done something reversible and you know it. We have broken the law of this world." Portokáli looked down with a whimper. Cygnus flew down and landed in front of her with a low whoosh. "Portokáli? Are you alright?" Cygnus asked as he saw her small, shaken figure from high in the air. Cygnus didn't hear her respond and gently picked her up with his mouth and then flew in the air before landing in a soft bed of a meadow. |

Hollow and Helios stood in the meadow. Will this guy ever stop talking? Hollow wondered as he listened to Helios talking about someone he had never met. Cygnus, or whatever his name was. Hollow really didn't care. "Hollow?" Helios asked, "have you been listening to a word I said?" "Yes, for the first ten minutes. For the last twenty, though, I've been considering strangling you to get you to finally be quiet." "I refuse to believe you have actually considered killing me. Anyways as I was saying..." Ugh, not again. This "Cygnus" guy better get here soon or I may have to stuff Helios into a tree or something. Hollow, instead of listening, looked around the meadow, hoping for any sign of someone approaching. Then he saw a purple shape flying close by. "Helios, is that him?" Hollow asked. From the look on Helios's face, he guessed yes. ( Lol, Hollow is kinda weird) |

Cygnus set down Portokáli in the soft pile of grass that had been flattened from a clearly large amount of weight. Cygnus looked up as he saw Helios and nudged Portokáli gently. "Come on." He said before walking towards Helios swiftly and stopped in front of Helios, placing his head gently on his before seeing Hollow and bowed his head to him. His tail swayed happily as he saw the one he loved the most in front of him. Portokáli, meanwhile, had been busy dealing with Core as he talked with her, almost as a hiss, before she turned walked over to them after swatting at Core. Though, she only swatted at the air. She looked at Helios with a slightly disgusted face before looking at Hollow with more of a gentler one. She bowed her head to them both and then said, "My name is Portokáli. It's nice to meet you." She looked up at Cygnus and cleared her throat. "I do not know why you wanted me to meet your.. Uh.." She tried thinking of the word to describe Helios based on what Cygnus told her, "Boyfriend.. But I wasn't expecting to meet his friend." She pointed a wing at Hollow. "You are the friend, right?" She asked before Cygnus leaned his head down to hers and whispered something to her before she looked at him and sighed. "Alright, alright. I understand." She said and then walked up to Hollow. "It's very nice to meet you." |

"Hello, yes I'm the friend." Hollow said to Cygnus and Portokáli. "I'm assuming you," he pointed to Cygnus, "are Cygnus, but," Hollow turned to Portokáli , "who are you? And have either of you ever talked as much as Helios?" He asked. "Hey, I don't talk that much." Helios said to Hollow. "Uh, yes. You do. For the last twenty minutes, I have been seriously considering stuffing you in a tree." "Remind me why I brought you to meet Cygnus?" Helios asked. "You literally just answered yourself. You brought me here to meet Cygnus to meet Cygnus and whoever she is." Hollow glanced at Portokáli. He turned to them, slightly embarrassed, and said. "I'm sorry about that." I just met them, and they're already watching me and Helios get mad at each other. I don't think this is going to go well. "Oh, goodness I still haven't introduced myself, The name's Hollow. Nice to meet you. I'm pretty sure you," Hollow glanced at Cygnus with an odd expression, annoyance? Confusion? Curiosity? Who knew. "Already know Helios, though." |

Portokáli looked at Hollow. I.. Said my name, right? "My name is Portokáli." She said with a shy glance at Cygnus. "Cygnus talks so much. He's worse than a love-sick human." She said with a grumble. "He goes on and on about how much he loves Helios and it drives me insane." She said with a flick of her tail. Cygnus looked at Hollow. "You were thinking of putting him in a tree?" He asked, mostly concerned for the tree's sake then Helios's. Portokáli smiled at Hollow. "It's very nice to meet you, Hollow." She said before Cygnus snorted. "Of course I do," Cygnus said with a slight urge to move away from Hollow's sight. He didn't like the way he was looking at him. Portokáli, meanwhile, was looking at Hollow with interest and slight confusion. Core was bugging her so she had no choice at looking at him since Core was staring directly at her from where he hovered in front of Hollow. |

Hollow felt embarrassed again. "Ah, nice to meet you, Portokáli. Also if he talks as much as Helios, I may have to stuff him in a tree as well." He turned to Cygnus. "not just put, but stuff. Both of you." He turned back to Portokáli and started to speak, but Helios said, surprisingly angrily, "You are not stuffing him in a tree, you hear me?" Hollow just turned and stared at Helios. "I- ah-. Helios? Are you okay? Why do you sound like you want to kill me? You- you know you can't though, right?" Hollow said, obviously concerned. "I think I'm just going to step over here for the time being." Hollow backed away a couple steps. |

Portokáli looked at Hollow. "Did you make him angry?" She asked Hollow as she saw Helios back away. Portokáli was confused at first but then realized that Core was still next to her and almost panicked from it. She turned and looked away from him, looking directly at Hollow in the process. "Should.. We leave them alone?" She asked him before looking at her claws. Seeing them completely black reminded her of Core and she didn't like it. Cygnus looked at Hollow before walking over to Helios and nudging him gently. "Hey.. You okay?" He asked as he talked in a soft, soothing voice. "It'll be okay." He said and tried to make him feel better by wrapping a wing around him. "I'm here, I'm here." |

"I think I might have, yes," Hollow said, "and leaving them alone is probably a good idea, if anyone can calm Helios down, it'll probably be Cygnus." Hollow seemed about ready to fly away and never return, he glanced at Helios and back to Portokáli. "How about we just go over there?" Hollow asked, then, without waiting for a reply, started walking towards a hill that was close. Helios glared at Hollow. Nobody stuffs Cygnus in a tree. He thought. "I am fine." He told Cygnus in a tone that sounded like he was still angry. Then when Cygnus wrapped a song around him, Helios began to feel better. Helios gave Cygnus a small smile, then he glanced at Hollow. I wonder... Is it possible to kill a spirit? Came a thought from literally nowhere. "Hey, Cygnus? Do you think it's possible to kill a ghost or spirit or whatever?" He asked. |

Portokáli looked at Hollow with a tilt of her head. Core looked at him as well, but for a different reason. Core then suddenly turned his head to her with a snap. "You aren't going to follow him, are you? You know what will happen if you do, cursed one." Core hissed out. Portokáli ignored him as she started to walk after Hollow. She flapped her wings to go faster before she said, "What will we do once we're there?" Cygnus licked Helios's head as he whispered calm, loving words to him. "Shh, it's okay." He said before seeing his smile and gave him one as well. The smile quickly turned into a concerned one. "Why do you want to know?" He asked. "Though, only death can kill spirits, ghosts, or the undead." |
