Collapsing Sanctuary

Joining Aster's party, "So what are you two? Mariah said something about you two being a part of Aster's magic? But what does that even mean??" Gracey asked me.

And looking at her as that idiot was talking to Mari and Rika, plus Avery over on the side while I was with Greg and Gracey, I said, "It's Mari, like Mary, you dumbass" I told her off, before saying, "And we're his familiars..." Meh ... Live souls... Ish...

You owe me so much for making me say this, Aster...

Growling at me, "Familiars my ass!" she yelled, and as she was, I growled back, "Look, I didn't choose to get him as a master either, so fuck off!... Just deal with it alright!" god damn it this girl is so aggravating, stop asking me questions!

Trying to calm myself down, I can't lose my cool already, I just found a stable vessel to use thanks to that soul, as for how long Me and Sylvia can last without Aster is a mystery though, because without him, our remains will perish.

But thinking of a way to keep us from perma-dieing.

"Mind your manners..." Greg warned, and glancing at him as he wasn't that much of a threat. . .Like both Sylvia and me could match him if we both used all our powers.

Okay, maybe that's a lie, he seems like 2.5x stronger.

Not the point, so looking at him, "My apologies Gregory"

And hearing that, he looked defeated at that point??

Yet ignoring him and looking over to Sylvia, she was talking to the other three, and chatting them up like a storm which was bothering me, as she was talking so much.

So turning back to the two with me, "Anyways, you know a way to get out of here?" I asked, but looking at the ones past me, "Mari might?" Gregory said back uselessly.

But I already considering that, so I'll just void his comment for now.

And Gracy ignored me as she looked away. But as I thought about something, she then said, "When do you think Aster will come back to us?" she said asking me.

And giving her my honest opinion, "I don't know, Sylvia knows more about the realm and how this stuff works than me, but I do know he won't die that easily, Gracy"

Nodding her head, "I guess you're right..."

. . . . . Meanwhile. . . . .

As Aster was getting his freak on as he lost control, and she was wrapping her arms around him as she couldn't stop cumin, he ended up pulling way before draining her.

Almost killing her by siphoning every last drop of energy in her, she was laying on her back with a dazy little smile on her face, and he panicked as he broke out of a trance.

But not knowing what to do as this hadn't happened in so long, if he could even remember the last time he did this. He looked around, and seeing her poorly made bed, made from a straw like material and a sheet made from tightly woven weeds.

He came over, and picking her up brought her to her bed, but as he did, a strong gust of wind blew into the cave freezing the living shit out of him... So he joined.

Crawling under the weeds, he cuddled up to her for warmth as his own ability to keep himself warm hadn't seemed to be working, so he used her for heat instead.

Ending his night as she hadn't seemed to be conscious anymore, and despite wanting more, he just cuddled up with her instead, until he began producing heat.

. . . . .Meanwhile, back with Hiro. . . . .

After a few minutes, the temple began to shake, and as we grabbed onto something, mainly the walls, or the shadow puppets Sylvia made, the temple of this place shook even more, right before we began hearing cracks.

Cracks became more apparent, and though we had no idea where they were coming from, looking around and not seeing anything, I thought it might have been an undead, but then Sylvia yelled out, "The ceilings collapsing!"

And when I looked up, the ceiling was covered in massive cracks, and taking me by surprise, it suddenly fell in, and sand started caving in, "Everyone, take cover!" Gregory...

. . . . .

Passing out, blacking out, or whatever, I lost consciousness, and when waking up again, I sat up coughing as my mouth was full of sand, but when looking around...

It was day, and we were in the desert in front of a cargo wagon, and looking around me the others were all there, but they were unconscious as they laid all dead-like.

So getting up, I grabbed the unconscious Sylvia and then woke up Avery, before walking to the cart and hopping on, but honestly I should have abandoned this idiot Sylvia because knowing her, she still wants to complete the Sirius Black we/they planned back when they were a whore at the Silver Moon Brothel, which I can see potential in, but they'd have to be a warrior mix?

Actually, I take it back, imma force her to force them to be that if that's what she's gonna do, so waiting here and hearing Avery wake the others, I shook Sylvia awake to tell her that her Sirius Black was going to be a bunch of warrior by day and whores by night, not just some street gang, but the start of a faction, to which she was confused, but agreed before shutting her eyes, and laying her head on me...

How can she just go back to sleep?

The others woke up, and hearing them groggy and sounding like they're in pain, how could she just go to sleep like this? Is it because of her new body or something else?

Poking her cheek, she started to snore...?

"You're still a pain in my ass, You, and that damn Aster..."

But I guess they're not as bad as I originally thought?

Laying my head against hers, I shut my eyes as well.
