*The Forest || Ink's cottage*
----------------------------------------------
As the two settle inside the mage's warm welcoming home they were immediately asked for their questions regarding him and his pets...
----------------------------------------------

Blueberry: FIRST OF ALL, WHY THE CAPITOL ARE YOUR "PETS" LIKE THAT?! *gesturing the wolf monstrosity*

Ink: To answer your question, my pets are the guarding beasts and don't you dare say that hellhole's name in my home!

Blueberry: GUARDING BEASTS?! THOSE CAN'T BE GUARDING BEASTS!

Ink:*chuckles lightly* I am telling you the truth, guard- Anything else?

Dream: Um- Not to be rude but why did you leave The Capitol?

Ink: Hm? That question this soon? I thought you wait a bit longer to ask me that question.

Dream: O-Oh sorry! I just wanted-

Ink: Me to answer your question, correct? And I'll answer it but not now. Understand?

Dream: Of course!

----------------------------------------------
Ink raises from his seat and walks over to a dented pot, holding a bottle.

Blue felt uneasy around the mage. He didn't really trust him, but then who could blame him? The mage nearly killed Dream and himself on their first meet for crying out loud!

Dream, on the other hand, was watching creator work, curiosity filling his mind. He wanted to know more about this mage yet at the same time he didn't want to push the creator over the edge.
----------------------------------------------

Ink: Drink up. *offering Blueberry and Dream cups*

Blueberry: WHAT IS THIS? *not trusting Ink*

Ink: It's stew and after I'll be bring you idiots to the town....

Dream: Town?

Ink: Uh-huh, the town isn't that far nor is it crowed...

Blueberry: IF THERE'S A TOWN, THEN WHY DON'T YOU LIVE THERE INSTEAD OF THE FOREST?

Ink: Simple, I hate being around people. *smiling positively at the two*

----------------------------------------------
A low growl comes from Ink's pet. It hungers for a meal.

Ink gently smiles and pets his creation, as if telling the beast to stay still and wait and the beast does so. Ink takes out a slab of raw meat from the pantry and feeds it to his pet.
----------------------------------------------

Blueberry: HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO TAME THAT THING?

Ink:*chuckles as he pets the creature* I am their creator, of course I can tame them...

Dream: How many are there? The beasts I mean.

Ink: There are at least over a hundred of them living in this forest, so to speak.

----------------------------------------------
As the mage was about to stand, after feeding his pet, something forced him back down his seat.

The door and windows started to open wide and slam shut repeatedly, as well as objects started to float surrounding them.

Shrieks and screams of horror started to fill the room. The noise was deafening to anyone around.
----------------------------------------------

Dream: AAAAAAAHHHHHH! W-WH-WHAT'S THAT?! *pointing at the short hovering spirit*

Ink:*still stuck in his seat* Oh that? That's just- um...... I forgot... but I do remember, they've been haunting me ever since I accidentally killed them...

Blueberry:*gripping onto a post* SO, THAT'S REASON WHY THEY'RE FLIPPING YOU THE BIRD?

----------------------------------------------
The spirit lets out a haunting laugh, almost as if mocking them for their misfortune.

The haunting soul was petite in height, had captivating glowing green eyes, and had a mop of pale mousy brown hair to match with their sly smirk.
----------------------------------------------

Spirit Sliver: Correct~ And I will remain and never leave~! *mocking Ink*

----------------------------------------------
Ink, in this case, remained in his floating seat unfazed with the current situation. He looked calmer, as if this happened all the time- Which it does.

He let out a deep sigh and reached out for one vials in his satchel, taking out a small navy blue concoction, opening it and letting the contents of the vial spill onto the wooden floor.

As the liquid fell onto the floor and went through the small cracks and hole of the floor board, the items and skeletons begin to lower slowly onto the ground. The vial brought back gravity to the home.
----------------------------------------------

Ink:*dusting himself off* I swore to keep my word but don't you dare make me get the salt and holy water!

Spirit Sliver:*hellish hisses* DON'T YOU DARE!

Ink:*chuckles* I would dare but as for now, I just want to enjoy some company....

Spirit Sliver: By "enjoying some company" don't you mean you're going to kill them?

Dream and Blueberry: WHAT?!

Ink: Thank you for ruining the surprise! These are people from The Hellhole!

Spirit Sliver: The Capitol? If so, proceed with the slaughter!

Ink: Thank you...

Dream: Wait! Why do you want to kill us? We did nothing wrong!

Blueberry: EXACTLY!

Ink: So, you don't know don't you?

Blueberry: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

Spirit Sliver:... My exile....

Blueberry: HOW DOES THAT RELATE WITH HIM *points at Ink* WANTING TO KILL US?!

Spirit Sliver: It doesn't, he has a different reason why he wants slaughter you but that's unknown to me...

Ink: And I won't discuss that reason...

Dream: What did The Capitol even do to you?

Spirit Sliver: Are you talking to me or him?

Dream: Both of you.

Spirit Sliver: They casted me out for learning about the ancient and forbidden spells, texts, and hidden documented history.

Ink: I still won't discuss it with the likes if you! And um-...

Spirit Sliver: Sliver!

Ink: Ah yes- Sliver return back to your horrifying quarters, please...

Spirit Sliver: Like I'd listen to you~*fades off to somewhere*

Dream: Do you really want to kill us?

Ink: I've held a dagger near you throat. Is that enough of a sign of me wanting to kill you?

Blueberry: WHEN I BROUGHT MY SWORD DOWN THAT BEAST COULD HAVE EASILY TURNED ME INTO DUST! YOU COULD'VE ACTUALLY KILLED ME!

Ink: And which, I didn't. Didn't I?

Dream: You spared us even if you wanted us dead from the start! You felt mercy for those you despise!

Ink: And I'm already regretting it... So, any more questions before I bring you to the village and leave you idiots qthere?

Blueberry: ANSWER THIS. HOW DID YOU KNOW I'M A ROYAL GUARD?

Ink: Easy, you're uniform. Well not the whole uniform but it's symbol. A guard came here to spy on the town but got his ass handed to him by a female fighter.

Dream: What's her name?

Ink: The fighter? I believe her name was Galaxy...

Dream: Um- Are there any other mages around here?

Ink: Of course! The others are found in town.

----------------------------------------------
The creator took a vial of the same liquid from earlier from his shelf and placed it inside his satchel.

He took a bag of coins out and gave it to the two with a death threat if they ever do wrong in the town.

The travelers, scared for their lives, agreed with the mage's terms. And soon left out the door with Ink following behind them.
----------------------------------------------

Dream: Are the other mages like you?

Ink: Heavens no! They'll only attack you if you dare bring harm to the town.

Blueberry: WHERE ARE WE GOING IN TOWN EXACTLY?

----------------------------------------------
Ink's expression flattened.

They were on their way to one of his most despised places, aside from The Capitol. Yet if those two wanted a place to stay in, they had to go there.
----------------------------------------------

Ink: The Tavern

______________________________________________________

Yay! Finally finished the second part!

I've just noticed how much I've changed Ink's personality. I mean his canon personality is a soulless, feelingless creator who forgets and hides a lot of shit- Oh wait- this is almost like his canon personality except he has a negative outlook on his first creations.

And also a big chocolate chip cookie to Sliverwolf39 for being the Spirit Sliver!

For those who wanted to join don't worry! I'll be adding you in the next chapter because the location would make a lot more sense and Ink's cottage was being abused in the comment section *COUGH*dreamtale_umbreon *COUGH*

Wanna join the adventure but you think it's too late? Leave a message in this chapter and I'll be more than happy to add you or your OC!

Cya on the next Update!
