Ayre seemed to settle down and doze off. Things did grow rather peaceful now that Pyrrhe's tantrum was over. Oscea herself seemed to be settling down as well. All seemed rather quiet and peaceful. Even Pyrrhe's groaning grew quiet. There was only the sound of water from the pond area flowing in that echoed gently around the room. The soft glow of crystals helped maintain a relaxed air as well.

The lush grass, the gentle sound of bubbling water, the soft glow of the crystals. Now that everything was calm, Horus could actually take in the peaceful aura. If anything, he did moderately appreciate it for not being a nightmare like the outside tunnels. With some reluctance, the young hunter decided to rest his eyes, just for a little bit. He could think of an escape plan once he awoke. |

His vision blackened out. Was he dreaming or was he seeing that as he closed his eyes? In the blackness a form that appeared to be an elemental storm representing the four he met was there. A twister decorated with small boulders and cloudy hair that ended in flame in a vaguely humanoid form grew clear in his vision.
Horus would find himself floating in a void area, unsure if this was truly real or not anymore. There was not way to tell. [smear:#98c0d6]"....Well that turned out in a way I didn't expect. How interesting."[/smear:#b892e2:3] The voice of this being was objectively neutral, fluctuating a dual tone between feminine and masculine.

To say Horus was startled would be an understatement. He jolted into what could be passed for Consciousness, golden eyes frantically looking everywhere, only to find nothing. Nothing except an avatar with features hearkening back to the four elementals he had just been with. No clue where he was or what was happening, the poor hunter looked towards the avatar before him. Their words echoed in his mind, pinballing all over the place. What... what do they mean? Have they been watching me?
"Wh...Who are you?" The young man's golden gaze shifted around the area he was in once more. The elementals he'd been with were missing from his view. Was this seriously just a dream? If he was dreaming, it felt way too real. "Where are Ayre, Oscea, Pyrrhe, and Laskyrt? Are they ok?"
So many questions, so little time.
"W...wait, are you the one that trapped me down there?" Horus's eyes shot over to the avatar again. "Were... you the one that trapped them down there?" |

Oh this poor man... He developed feelings and care for beings that do not exist. The elemental before him appeared to be relatively neutral in everything, even expression. However, I am a benevolent god. I'll humour this poor plant man.
[smear:#98c0d6]
"They'll be alright."[/smear:#b892e2:3] The being fabricated a scene where Pyrrhe was awake and the others seemed to be fine. Of course, to make it feel like a continuation, it had to be shortly after Pyrrhe got consciousness and they appeared (heh, a-pyrrhe-d) to have a flower crown placed upon their head by Oscea. [smear:#98c0d6]"My name is Glory. I am a mere storyteller. And so, that concludes this story."[/smear:#b892e2:3] They all seemed to be on good terms with each other now.
Before Horus could really ask more questions, he'd feel a drop that felt disgustingly short. Like those moments when you fall asleep and jolt yourself awake. He'd find himself in the forest, rested against a tree, birdsong accompanied a breeze in the leaves. Whatever other questions he had to ask, Glory didn't answer. Horus was left alone for now. A lonesome plant man surrounded by plants, with a home of plant people living their best plant lives.

Once again, Horus was jolted back out of his rest, a little worse for wear, but still in one piece. Not crispy, not eaten alive by cave monsters. While he wanted to ask the being to set the four elementals free, to ask them how they'd be from now on, he'd have to take solace in the fact that, at the very least, the four would be ok. And yet, he still felt just a pang of sadness in his heart, leftover from leaving them behind. |
