#suspense warning

The lost youth looked around as it seems that he was near some sort of temple and sand? Now that he looks around more, the more sand he could see.

Where exactly was he?

Everything felt very humid and there was just sand everywhere, he moves cautiously as he explores the strange temple like building.

As he moved, he sensed a presence as he went to hide. He slows down his breathing as he climbs inside of a nearby vase, trying to keep the glowing of his jewel shard down as he didn’t want to be spotted.

Sharp irises glance around as he was once again seeking out the coreflames in order to stop Irontomb from awakening, however, as he was moving to seek out one of the nearest coreflames, he stopped in his tracks as he could sense someone nearby. Wait, this presence…seemed very familiar.

He looks around cautiously before spotting a face he knew too well but he didn’t know what to do, he knows that this person carries a coreflame needed but seeing their face caused the being to hesitate. He was about to go somewhere else but one of his wings snare up in some nearby vibes as he cursed out, his yellow eyes now widening at the thought that the person might have just heard him.

He could only stay there entangled in the vines, the burning fire pulsing through his broken body like that akin to a fast beating heart.

Silence fills the air before soft breaths sounded out, eyes could only watch.

The boy was confused on where he currently was as nothing looked like his homeland of Natlan, he gulped before hearing noises all around him. If any demons were to appear, they could sense a god like power within the trembling child’s body.

Mausau ventured forth in order to seek out shelter to stay at in the time being, however, a snake like demon was slowly stalking the poor child in order to take that fragment within their body as it resembled a piece of the Shikon Jewel which was a powerful gem in it’s own right.

He quickly heard the noise and tries to turn around only to be suddenly snared up by the snake demon that was ambushing him, he cried out for help as it seemed like fate wasn’t on his side! This was bad!

He could feel his vision starting to blur as his eyes were about to close due to losing consciousness, he was now losing hope as the snake demon was about to strike!

A groan escaped as a winged figure regained their bearings upon landing in a strange place, heart shaped irises slowly look around as the being in question realized that they were in a entirely new world all together.

As the winged being got up to dust off their clothes of any dirt, they took notice of their now hands instead of cookie nubs as it seems that they were now a winged human!

The being known as Pavlova Cookie or in this case just Pavlova gasped in response as he then looked around with both curiosity as well as alertness, just where exactly did he end up?

First things first, he needed to search for clues so he flapped his now larger wings as he took to the skies, soaring as he kept a eye out for anything or anyone that may be nearby.

As he explored with a overwhelming fascination, he didn't notice a snare trap springing up as he was suddenly caught within it's deadly grasp as one of the ropes tightening harshly around his throat to keep him down.

Not good! He was starting to lose consciousness the more he struggled! He tries to slow down his breathing and kept completely still just in case whoever set this approached, he closed his eyes and laid there all wrapped up with some of the ropes even entangled deep in his meringue scented feathers.

Why does he always end up in unknown places?

Golden irises glance around as he realized he wasn't in his own world anymore, there was too many different things for it to even be his world.

He gulped as he then got up off the ground, dusting off his clothes as he then ventures forth, keeping his weapon close by just in case things got hairy. He studied the various flora before noticing some strange creatures, he was about to take another step before his foot slipped and he ended up hoisted in the air.

He tries to disconnect his bow into the dual blades but his arms was then gripped by some sort of sticky substance as it looked like he was about to become a meal!

Not good! No no no!

He could feel his corruption trying to take hold but he shook it off as he didn't want to lose control, he tried to move to break free but his strength was being sapped!

He soon lost consciousness as he swayed back and forth, the creature that caught him was about to strike!

Pure Vanilla Cookie gulped as he ventured slowly through the thick foliage of this unknown land he has found himself lost in upon first waking up, he studied his surroundings as yellow and blue eyecing peer around.

This was unlike anything he has seen as there must be so many things that would love to devour him in a instant due to the fact that he couldn't hide with his sweet vanilla scent, best to endure and seek out shelter.

All the while, his mind raced on who or what resided here.

"...Hmm, did I take a wrong turn? This doesn't look like the Parfaedia Institute as everything here looks like a child's story book in design, best to be cautious. As long as I have my potions, I'll be alright. Now, let's see if there's anyone here to aid me with directions back to Parfaedia."

The master of potions spoke out as he studies the Spire of Knowledge(now known as the Spire of Deceit) just in the distance, blue eyecing revealing before he closes them as he puts his potions in his pouch as he sighs.

He adjusts his hat before venturing off, his curiosity proving a challenge for him.

Wind Archer was venturing before noticing the usual annoying jester just up ahead but something felt off, wait, something was approaching and fast!

Was this targeting him? Wait...no, this was targeting the Beast!

He knew that he was originally a hero but something within yanked his heart forward as he dashed towards the other, he had to reach them! He had to!!

"Hey! Look out!

Jester move!

Hey!

SHADOW-MILK!!!"

He yelled out the other's name as he shielded them from the blow from a strong cake werehound, the claws slashing across his chest as a gut wrenching scream rang out as the elemental landed on the ground.

Just silence with the raspy sounds of clinging to life as glowing green jam leaked out.
