It feel lonely without them, not like when the fog had taken it up and gave it a home. No, this loneliness was something else, a true utterly alone feeling.
The Flies had left them thats all Creature knew, nothing else. They won't tell it why or how, but just they wouldn't speak.
No stories to tell, no valuable information, no teaching on how to speak or be a proper avatar. They had left all of that up to it to figure out
At least it had some to be called "friends" who would help it understand. Though they knew that one day, in some way, it would all end.
Maybe my flies are just planning something they can't tell me, like.. like those things were they need to surprise you? Is all Creature can think to take away the thought that the flies won't ever speak again.
This was its fault wasn't it? It always is. It was always their fault and they end up losing another thing they love. It happens all the time.
But they must keep these thoughts out of its head so it doesn't go back to that place. They must keep being careful around others. Not create bonds and act like everything is alright.
