I’m running. Running as hard as I can. My breath is starting to get to me as I panic even more. I look around, trying to figure out where I am but this… this place is just twisted. The trees are have arms, veins, hands for leaves and green eyes within their grasp. The eyes just watch as I run past, and the veins pulse with every step. The ground around me is covered in bloodied bones and shattered swords that cut up my feet as I run from the demon behind me as he laughs at the chase while crushing all the bones in his path with a sickening crack.

“Stop running!” Kenpachi yells with cheer obvious in his voice. “It will make things easier for us both, you’re too weak to use MY power!” he looks like the one from the Quincy arc with the same riveted eyepatch and let down hair without bells in it.

I just keep running, hoping that he will give up… I’m getting tired and my chest is starting cramp, “Help! Anybody!” I scream in desperation knowing I can’t take him. The trees react to it… but not in a good way. They start peppering us both with the eye’s they held in their hands. They hit me and they hurt along with sticking to me, slowing me down as more and more stuck, I eventually stop since I couldn’t move. I hear Kenpachi swinging at the eyeballs, most likely not getting hit a single time.

‘Why is this happening!? Am I going to die here? I don't want to die! But I’m too weak to fight him… I can’t do anything… I’m helpless here…’

‘Fight.’

‘I’m too weak.’

‘Fight.’

‘I’m scared… wait, I’m scared? Why does it feel… good?’

‘Fight because it’s scary.’

‘I should fight… because I’m scared to lose… to lose myself…’

I start to grow as the eyes all around my start to shift into my new attire. MY captains outfit. I feel something start to form in my hand as the bandage wrapped grip of my zanpakuto reacts to the tightening of my grip. I turn around and look at Kenpachi, bells jingling in my hair as I do so, and give him the biggest smile I could muster. He gives me a sneer as the ground beneath us turns into a black plain of nothing. I see him look to his upper left… and smile. He looked back at me with his signature yellow aura radiating around him as the air grew cloudy and heavy. He then reached up to his eyepatch and ripped it off. The darkness around us was blasted away as the force of a fucking earthquake shook the ground beneath me, the air crackling with power as everything felt like it was now underwater. I regain my composer just in time to block a swing from him, the sheer force behind it bypassing my blade and breaking my nose before he grabbed me a threw me far away.

I got up and felt my nose… before laughing and ripping my own eyepatch off. The air now tearing in some places as my own power surges all around us. He gives me a smile when I look at him as I stand back up. I then point my sword at him.

“Nozarashi!” I yell in delight while he gives me a shocked look.

I chuckle a bit and draw back my sword, “Dr-”

My eye shoots open as I take in a large gulp of air, I smell blood, it being very pungent as I feel something, someone, touching m- KENPACHI! I quickly feel my sword and grab it with my right hand, grasping it tightly before shooting my left hand towards whoever this is and grab them by their throat. I grip tightly before picking them up and chucking them through the wall next to me. I hear a gasp, in both surprise and pain before I get up and rush at them. My vision is foggy right now, but it doesn't matter, “I WON’T LOSE!” I shout as they grunt in pain, I run up and slash at them the thing just barely moved out of the way before my blade had a chance to connect, the missed slice causing a shockwave of force to destroy a few tree’s as it traveled.

“Stop runnin!” I yell before swinging at them again, this time actually making contact with something.

I keep looking around but with how bright it is outside my vision only got that much worse. Whoever this was is saying something, but I just ignore it as the dark thing with some kind of weird, abnormal spiritual pressure moves a little.

I cut threw the being in front of me, turning the weak thing into a shimmering pile of black sand, “Are you really this much of a coward! Using cheap tricks like this won’t save you!” I look around trying to find my target ‘Where’d he go?’ I look around some more “Come on! You wanted to fight so let’s go!” I say trying to taunt my opponent, hopefully getting them to react, “Are you really this weak!?”

Another black mass forms in front of me, again trying to say something, but my growing irritation only makes whatever it was trying to say even more unoticable.

I growl at the puppet and raise my sword, channeling all my current strength into it and take a swing, and oh what a swing it was. The ground tore apart as it connected, cracking and crumbling as if it was just hit by a meteorite, the trees behind the puppet all blew back, snapping, twisting, and some even crumbling at the sheer amount of force. The dust kicked up all around, making my already blurry vision that much worse as the particles went into my eyes and mouth leaving the taste of dirt within. The sonic boom alone caused all of the windows within the hut to shatter because of the sheer force and intensity of the blow. As the dust settled and the wind died down I saw nothing in front of me but sheer and utter destruction, leaving nothing left of the doll there but a few bits of sand… I think, “These puppets won’t fool me, now where are you!?”

“Right behind you,” I finally hear, a black mass from the shadow shooting out and slamming into my kidney.

‘Well that was uncomfortable.’ I sneer a little before swinging my left hand around an demolished yet another puppet, “I’m getting real tired of this shit. I swear I will destroy everything in my path to find you if you don’t come out!” I stomp my foot, the ground cracking in response. I feel my rage start to get to me as my blurry vision starts to get a yellow hue to it, “You got the the count of three before I start wrecking shit! ONE!”

I grunt as I feel something akin to sand go up my nose and in mouth, despite the slight irritation, none of it really harming or cutting anything within me, “TWO!” I grunt out before reaching up to my eyepatch, preparing to remove it.

“Thr-” I say before feeling a massive pain in my chest before blood gushes from my mouth, I fall as I just taste blood and flesh.

‘What the hell just happened?’

“You will not harm the girl.” I hear the being, I think it’s a guy, state before I heard and felt his footsteps go towards the house. After a few seconds I couldn’t feel or hear them so I tried to use this newly discovered ability of mine to feel for his soul pressure. Ok he is heading for the house… and he is now by Yachiru.

My eye quickly opens. ‘Yachiru!’

I then quickly got up and rushed my opponent from behind, despite disliking this tactic. But that doesn't matter since Yachiru could get hurt while she is sleeping. I finally feel my blade enters something.

I smile as I hear some coughing, “Gotcha.” I say, though it hurts a bit to do so, I remove my zanpakuto from my opponent, blood gushing as I did so. After a second he ‘at least I think it’s a he’ fell on the ground with pained grunt. I raise my sword into the air, “You gave me quite the test, but yet this fight was far from enjoyable, but I must commend you for your attempt, any last wor-” my vision finally clear up, adjusting to the not so bright light within the tree hut. I see someone in front of me, a very pale guy, some would even say he’s grey, looking at me with very tired looking eyes. I squint my one eye and lower my zanpakuto onto my right shoulder, relaxing a bit, “Who the hell are you?” I grunt out with a bored expression.

He struggles to snap his fingers as I see some kind of black stuff, I think it’s sand’ spell out a name across the floor. “Who the fuck is Wayde Molan?” I see the man look back up at me with anger in his eyes, “Wait, you’re Wayde Molan aren't you?” I see him try to lift an arm to the hole in his chest… ‘shit’.

I crouch down and pick up the man. He tries to fight but is ultimately to weak. His weird black blood starts to fall down my own chest as he keeps bleeding. I hurriedly walk into the next room and set him down on the table before going over to Zecora’s zanpakuto stand and ripping off some of the white cloth underneath the stand itself. I rip it up into smaller pieces to use as improvised gaze. I turn around and see the man trying to get up and leave, I go over and sit him up, “If you leave now idiot you’re going to bleed out. Just stay still,” I start wrapping the cloth around his torso, “I’ll get you patched up, then Zecora will fix the rest when she gets back… well after she flips out on me that is.” I grin at the thought of the little cute zebra lady yelling at me.

I look back down at the floor and see more sand, this time spelling out, ‘Why are you healing me?’

“Because I want answers.”

Failing to snap again, the sand formed a question mark.

“I want to know why you tried to jump me in my sleep. Plus, I don’t kill those weaker than me.”

His lips twitched in what I geuss was an attempt to sneer. ‘ Same as when I told you before. Your head was bleeding. Had to wake you up. Then I could go for help.’

“My head was bleeding? So that’s why I smelt blood, ha! I thought you were the one that made me bleed! That’s one of the reasons I thought you were trying to kill me. Well that and the fact you were in the same room as me in the bloody dark looming over me like some kind of serial killer inspecting his prey before chopping them up and eating them. But the smell of blood was a factor.” I joked brushing off whatever ill will I felt towards this man. “Also sorry about before, I was being defensive so anything you said just never reached my ears.” I shrug before walking over to the cot Nightmare was in and grabbing the pillow she wasn’t using. I then walk into the room Yachiru and I stayed in and grabbed another pillow, chuckling at the sight of Yachiru sprawled out, trying to take as much room as possible on the big bed. I walk back into the main room and look at Wayde “Ok here’s what I want you to do. I patched you up the best I could, but you are still bleeding pretty bad, so I’m going to put this pillow underneath you and you are going to lay on it to apply pressure to your back, while this other pillow you are going to hold on your front and squeeze/ hug it to apply pressure to your front. Got it?”

He nods in response before I hear the sand shifting again and I look down at it. ‘ I can’t feel my arms. And, you should probably get a doctor or something.’

“That’s what we are waiting on, as for your arms, guess I’ll just have to get more cloth and apply the pressure myself.” I walk over to the stand and tear even more cloth before I went back with a thick bundle of it and pressed down on Wayde’s chest, holding back as much as I can as to not break the man, “So how did you get here? By the way nice Pitch you got going on there, it’s been awhile since I’ve seen him.” I tell him in full honesty, don’t see someone like him every day

The sand starts shifting again, guess he can’t talk at the moment, understandable. ‘And is the little girl your sister then?’

That made me think for a second, “The little girl, you mean Yachiru? Well, it’s hard to explain, she is my adoptive daughter, but we treat each other more like brother and sister. So the best answer I can give you is that she’s family to me.” I try to explain to him the best I can, but talking about Yachiru brings a calm smile to my face. For some reason it seems like I’ve known her my whole life. I then remember that he hasn’t answered my question yet, “By the way you still haven’t answered my question, how did you get here?”

‘From experience, I’m stolen away from my Equestria by a small golden orb of sand.’

‘What the hell is Equestria? And a golden orb… wait?’ “Does this orb shift into other stuff and then turn back into an orb? If so then I think I’m the one who brought you here. My bad, didn’t even know what the blasted thing was, I’ve only been in this new world for a day at most.” I remove my left hand from the improvised bandages on his chest and scratch the back on my head with a sigh, “Don’t even know how I got here, I just remember meeting this shady merchant, I bought an eyepatch and Yachiru doll from him, and BAM I’m here! I mean this is cool and all, but… what about my friends?” I then start to feel a little down as the realization hit me, “I doubt there is a way back, nor would I go back since that might mean Yachiru gets turned back into a doll, and that’s not something I would let happen.” ‘No I would never allow that to happen, no matter how much my friends and family mean to me, I won’t let Yachiru perish just to see them again,’ I look back at wayde with resolve, “Are there others like us?”

I look back down at the sand, getting used to this ‘Yes. And few and far between are particularly healthy either.’ it spells out

“So the rumors were true… well shit.” but wait..., “How strong are they?”

The sand starts to shift, ‘Poor to Titan in power, but that doesn’t mean they know how to use their power. And, I hate to be a stickler, but, since you don’t seem like you’re going to kill the little girl any time soon, unless she decided to wake you up, I’m going to find some medical attention.’

‘Shit I can’t let him leave, I still have questions for him,’ I feel someone strong coming this way and my bells react to it, giving off their calming chime as the back of my head starts to hurt, “Well I think Zecora is back if that feeling of someone piercing the back of my head with their gaze means anything.” I turn around and put on my most apologetic smile I could possibly muster and look at the zebra. ‘Fuck, she’s PISSED! Well time to try and talk my way out of this.’, “Hey Zecora, hehe, I know this looks bad-”

“To call this bad for such a disturbance, does not even begin to scratch the surface.” she states calmly, her venom etched words practically hanging in the air.

‘Come on, bullshit your way out of this John!’ “But you see me and my friend here got into a little bit of a fight, and right now he needs help because I might have probably, definitely stabbed him and is in urgent need of medical attention.” I say chuckling, trying to read her.

“Is that the cloth from beneath my zanpakuto” she hummed, “gifted by the previous captain from so long ago?”

Shit, well better to be honest, “...yes?”

Zecora then exhaled slowly before walking up the the table, ‘She isn’t that mad!’ I think before getting hit with enough force to actually hurt me AND send me flying into the next room before hitting a wall.

‘Hahahaha, That’s a riot!’

‘Again, Piss. Off.’

I slam open the front door to Zecora’s home, rubbing the back of my neck, “Hey, crazy striped horse, the patch job’s done!” I then take two more steps into the home before being assaulted by cuteness.

“Ken-chan!” yells Yachiru in delight as she glomps my face. ‘How can she even jump that high?’

I just smile and return the hug, but not without roughing up her hair a bit, “Finally awake huh? I swear you could sleep through a war if you wanted to.” I joke before she scales onto my head like a mountain and points to Wayde.

I grab her and place her on my shoulder like normal, “This here is- actually I’ll let him introduce himself.”

“Hello little miss,” he nods, his stony face cracking into what would have been a charming smile but for the off-grey teeth beneath, “my name is Wayde Molan. What’s yours?”

She just giggles at him, “I’m Yachiru Kusajishi Mr. Boogeyman! I’m Ken-chan’s first lieutenant and I’ve been with him for as long as I can remember!” she exclaims while hugging the side of my head and rubbing our cheeks together affectionately. “Anyway’s Mr. Boogeyman, why are you here?” she asks with a tilt of her head and putting a finger on her bottom lip.

I just ruffle her hair some more, “He’s here to help us, he’s informed me of a few things that will help us in the future, why don’t you see if Zecora has any snacks?” I suggest to her.

She gasped before putting on the biggest smile, “Ok!” she then jumped off of my back and ran towards the kitchen waving at Wayde, “Nice meeting you Mr. Boogeyman!”

After she left the room I exhaled quickly. I then turned to Wayde, “Do not let her know we fought while she was asleep, ok? If she finds out she will get really upset.” I then walk over to the table and take a seat on the floor like before, “ I don’t think there are any chairs here, but you can just use one of those pillows if you want.”

“I’m fine,” he says, snapping his fingers. A short, four-legged stool sanding up below him as he sat down. “And don’t worry, I won’t tell her anything.”

I smile at the response, “Thanks, last thing I want is her crying. By the way that sand stuff of yours is convenient. I mean I might be powerful and all, but that’s the thing, most of it is just raw power, but that” I point to the sand stool, “that’s cool.” I then start taking the bells out of my hair, since I need to get a bath and redo my hair. “Anyways, do you know anything else about those displaced you told me about? Maybe a way they could contact me?”

“It comes at a cost,” he says, tilting his head. “As near as I can tell it’s almost like an artificial intelligence, but rather than logic its bases its operating procedures on emotion, fear specifically. And,” he frowns, a thin stream playing in between his fingers, “if I begin to feel too much fear myself, it physically harms me. But ah,” he straightens up, “I can’t say that I do. They say you channel energy into something you want to represent you, and after that it supposedly multiplies and crosses multiple dimensions all without your express knowledge or ability to even control. And of those that I’ve seen, none of them appeared to have the power let alone the knowledge of how to pull off such a feat. But,” he sighed, “ I don’t suppose I’m one to talk, I don’t even know how I even made what is supposedly my token.”

I scratch my chin, “Interesting, so pretty much this whole displaced thing is just different cosplayers being thrown around the multiverse through different mediums, and end up summoning each other via a similar way they were brought here in the first place?” I ask aloud, Wayde giving me a weird look, “What? You got a problem or something with what I said?” I ask with a smile, knowing full well why he was giving me that look.

“No, I just think it’s a little weird you’re essentially repeating what I already told you while we were outside making the patch,” he replied.

“Well you finally gave me the last piece of the puzzle, I just want to make sure I got my facts straight here.” I then look to my right and see Yachiru running over with a plate of pastries and candy, Zecora following behind her with a smile and tea set as Wayde stood up, his stool disappearing.

Yachiru placed the platter down, “Kenny look! Zecora gave me all these treats!” she exclaimed happily before sitting on my lap and unwrapping a cupcake.

Zecora then placed down her own platter before pouring some of the tea into cups, “Now, now little Yachiru, not all of those snacks are for you.” she then gives Wayde, Yachiru and I a tea glass filled with some kind of red liquid.

I pick up my glass and take a good sip of it feeling the burn as it went down my throat, “By the way Zecora you can drop the rhyming again, it shouldn’t hurt him to much now that he’s healed, and sit the hell down Wayde you're making a fool of yourself.” I say taking another sip of this very spicy, but very well brewed tea as Yachiru moves on to her third cupcake.

“Thank you for the tea, Miss Zecora,” he nods to her, ignoring me.

“He’s is right you know, you are making quite the fool of yourself, proper manners are important, but you are far from an uninvited guest, afterall you are my patient.” she then takes a sip of her tea, closing her eyes and humming at the taste, along with completely missing Wayde’s flinch thanks to her soul pressure’s presence. He probably feels like he’s a few meters underwater right now.

“Th-” he mumbles. ‘Maybe he is too much of a lightweight,’ I chuckle, before he frowns, closing his eyes as the shadows pull away from all the corners of the house, his fear tinted spiritual aura strengthening. Shaking his head, opening his eyes, he inspected his free, now, blackened hand, “Um,” he looks at Zecora, “thank you?” he says before making his way to the low table, sitting cross-legged on the cushion, wincing again, now that he was closer to the source. ‘Well, credit where credit’s due.’ He then goes to reach for a cupcake, only to find them all gone. He looks confused for a moment before looking over to Yachiru to find eight cupcake wrappers and a nearly completed pile of caramel candy wrappers. I just chuckle before catching the carmel she was about to throw in her mouth and eating it myself.

“Kenny!” Yachiru wines, “That was mine!” she then starts to playfully hit my chest, I just laugh at the light blows and give her a bear hug.

“If you want something on that plate there Wayde I’d get it now!” I laugh while wrestling with the small girl. He smiles, grabbing three caramels for himself before unwrapping them in quick succession and dropping them into his tea, stirring them into the steaming cup. “Got a sweet tooth yourself, huh?”

He coughs, taking a swallow of his tea before answering. “Something like that,” he grins. “But, about the help you mentioned earlier,” he said, his face folding back to that calculating look, “what exactly did you want?”

“Well you already gave me it really.” I grunt as I try and get out of a headlock, courtesy of Yachiru, “I really just wanted some answers as to why this all was happening, and why I’m here.” I turn the tables on the pink haired menace as I start to tickle her, “But there is one more thing you could help me with- I got you now you little brat!”

“Then please be quick about it,” he calmly stated. “It’s bad enough I have to frighten the people of one universe to stay alive, so I don’t relish the thought of doing it in another.”

“Well that’s the thing- ouch damn it why the hell did you bite me! See that black horse thing with a horn and wings over there?” I ask while pointing in the general direction, trying to pry the pink piranha off my hand, “If you could do one last thing for me, can you check her mental state for me? I can’t have someone basically brain dead following me around, they might get hurt if- dammit that hurts, why did you bite my nose!” I yell in pain while she just giggles, “Well I think you understand what I mean.”

“I don’t think giving her a scare would do her much good,” he frowns, eyes narrowing, “and isn’t the fine doctor beside us more qualified for such work?” nodding to Zecora.

“I can only do so much I’m afraid. She hasn’t moved from her current position since yesterday. I can check on and heal her body, but I can’t check on her mind.” Zecora replies actually looking upset since she can’t help with that. But I understand, she can only do so much.

“I can only give her bad dreams, but,” he said, turning to Zecora directly in the eyes, “if you think it would be of benefit, I will do it.”

Zecora smiles, “It would, it would set me at ease knowing she is healed, in both body and mind.”

I sit back up, Yachiru now over at the platter stealing the rest of the sweets, “It would put me at ease too, I don’t know what that rainbow beam did to Nightmare over there, but whatever it was, it didn’t want here to live through it.” I say looking at Wayde sadly, “I wasn’t about to let a good opponent die.”

Remaining silent, he stands up and walks over to her, taking the shadows with him. We stay where we are, not wanting to get in his way. He sits, cross legged, at the head of the cot. Taking a breath, he brings both his hands forward, stopping inches before he could touch her, then exhaled, that black sand of his wisping out of his mouth and from the deep shadows beneath his coat, netting out from of his palms before slowly folding into Nightmare’s head.

At first nothing happens, she stays just as still and quiet as she always has, like you reallshe’s just asleep, but then, then she lets out a sound, a tiny gasp, and her eyes scrunch close as she wraps her wings tighter against herself, shuffling the blankets down her sides. “Nooo. Please don’t send me back,” she whispers in a groan, as Wayde pulls back his sand.

Remaining seated, he fades into shadow, sweeping past us and back to his seat, rising up from the cushion. “She’s healthy enough to have a nightmare it seems,” he says after taking a long sip of his tea, “How exactly did you manage to make a living nightmare anyway?”

I just take a long swig of my tea I carried along, “I just jumped in and saved her from some frickin rainbow beam caused by six pony’s. I don’t know how she appeared and why that smaller blue horse was in her place, but all I know is I did what was right at the time.” I sit back and think, “What exactly did you see in there?” I look directly into his eyes, “What does she fear?”

“The moon, which I made. She wasn’t doing all that much dreaming. And as for fear, that would be you,” he glanced towards me, “and being forced back into Luna to be be stuffed with all her negative emotions again.” He looked like he wanted to say more, but he just took another sip from his cup.

Whatever he might not be telling me, it’s most likely private to Nightmare over there, I can respect keeping another's secrets, “ Well,” I stand up and crack my back, “ thanks for the help man, you really put my mind at ease for now.” I walk over at pat his back while laughing a little, sending the skeletal lightweight forward a bit, “Sorry about the mishap earlier, didn’t mean to spook ya! With you showing up out of nowhere I didn’t have on any clothes, you startled me!” I wink with Yachiru still in the room.

He stands up, only coming up to a little bit past my waist before his sand circles around him, raising him in a pillar to look me directly in the eye. “I can’t say I would have reacted any differently in front of my own daughter either,” and thrust his hand out.

I grab it and pull him into a headlock giving him a nuggie, “You better visit you stone skinned bastard!” I laugh, considering him one of the few friends I now have. He laughs back before I release him, with him looking a little annoyed by my playfulness, smoothing out his coat, but a smile still creeps onto his face. “Guess it’s time to send you bac-”

“Wait!” Yachiru yells, apparently she left the room since she is now running back in carrying two pieces of wood. Coming up to us both, she hands us each a piece of wood, but this isn’t just any wood, it’s specifically a badge for the eleventh division. It was a rectangular piece of wood with a pointed bottom and raised edges on one side, on that same side in black paint lies the symbol of the eleventh division. “I heard you two talk about those token thingies and them being a way to meet new people, so I made these! One for Ken-chan to give away to that void thingy, and one for Mr. Boogeyman! I made it special for you, it has your face on the back!” Wayde flipped his over to find a child like drawing of him looking really goofy, making a face like he was trying to be scary but failing. Above it was a text bubble that had BOO! written in it with very nice calligraphy. She then jumped up and hugged him, “I’ll miss you Mr. Boogeyman.” she said sweetly.

Wayde gasped quietly, his eyes going briefly wide. Seems he wasn’t quite ready for that level of cuteness. “Thank you,”he said, “This is very well done. I’ll make sure to keep it safe,” sliding it into one of his jacket’s inner pockets, Yachiru beaming at the praise.

I put my left arm around the guy’s neck and pull him close before holding up the badge, “Oi, softy, what to see me send this out before you go?” I ask him with a large grin on my face, trying to save him ‘and myself’ from contracting anything deadly from all of Yachiru’s cuteness. He just nodded in response with a grin of his own.

I take a few steps back and look at the badge in my hand, trying to think of something, anything that sounds remotely cool to say, but I just kept shooting blanks… that was before Yachiru climbed on top of my head, and then it just came to me.

“To whoever is in possession of this badge, I would like for you to know that if you plan to call upon me you better be ready for a fight.”

“You betcha! Or you should be ready to have fun!”

“What’s the difference?”

“True, anyway I’m Yachiru Kusajishi I hope we become friends!”

“And I’m Kenpachi Zaraki, I hope we get to know each other well, I can be the best of allies-”

“Or your worst nightmare!” Yachiru grabbed the badge from my hand, “Me and Ken-chan can’t wait to meet you, call if you need some help ok?” I then instinctively put my hand on the Badge, and at that moment a dark portal opened up in front of us, with different shades of black swirling together like a vortex. I then felt Yachiru nod her head yes, and we both threw the badge into the portal. When the portal closed we saw Wayde looking down into his jacket, a patch of it glowing white before returning to normal with a fizziling sound.

Sighing as Yachiru jumped down, I scratched the back of my head, “Now that that’s done, we can send you off on your way Wayde, just need to find your token, where did I put it?” I say trying to remember where I threw it in the commotion.

“You mean this thing?” asks Yachiru holding gold sand in the shape of me smiling.

“Yep that’s it.” I reach down and she hands it to me, when she does it starts to freak out like before, trying to turn into something but failing before just going back to an orb, “Weird… anyways Wayde if you ever need something, you know what to do, right?” I ask, just so he knows it’s clear that I’m willing to help him no matter what.

Looking up at me, he remains silent, then, looking down to his jacket and the slight bulge of the wooden trinket, he looks me in the eye and simply says, “Thank you.”

I smile, knowing I got across to him in some way, “Alright then, I guess I just say something and you go?” I look to Wayde and he nods, “Ok, Wayde, you have completed your task here,” a swirling circle of golden sand opens up behind him, “Now get the hell out!” I yell with a smile before pushing him back into the sand, it quickly disappearing as soon as he went through.
