You continue walking, noticing the dreary city folk. They looked alive, but not like they enjoyed it. So, you proceeded after the one in front of you.
"Hey, little gu-?"
"YES!?"
"Whoa. Okay, calm down. What's your name?"
He blinks rapid fire for a second, thinking up a hailstorm.
"Bullet."
"Your... Name? Is literally Bullet?"
"Yup."
"Okay! I'll roll with it, then..."
Bullet keeps going further into the silver spires, each one having a hole carved out of it with different furniture and the like. One spire in particular is huge, and you seemed to be headed right for it. You didn't notice, but some of the other creatures were looking at Bullet jealously. He got a little more weary, but continued on. As you both finally reached the large building, he leads you inside and bows to an older looking female. She nods her head, then approaches you without a care. She clasps your hand in her tiny reptilian hands before you could object, and inspects them. Turning away, she skitters away and opens some kind of trunk. Inside, silky gloves lay undisturbed. They were the same color as your blood, which fascinated you. She approached you again with them in hand, then slipped them on both hands.
"Mmm hmmm..."
"Uh? What is-?"
"SHE IS THE ONE!"
Suddenly, screaming could be heard outside, like a war cry. You looked about yourself as you were swarmed by water-scale beasts.
"THE BREEZE HAS ARRIVED! YIPPEE!"
They all seemed to glow brighter then before, screeching with joy. You were VERY confused at this point. But, you'd try not to ruin the moment for them.
Vix: Be clustered.
In the meantime, you decide to message Fenras. Though, you hated to disturb them. You were just very confused.
SF: Fenras? So, there are these creatures that are really confusing me.
SF: I get into the land, and now I'm being swarmed by hyperactive water-scale beasts. They all glow as well.
You run to your respiteblock and grab one of your hunt trophies, then run back and throw it into the sprite. Only after you throw it do you realize that you grabbed one of Rheasilvia's claws.
"NO!"
The claw merges with the sprite, which immediately takes on the properties of your lusus.
"So, what are the Beats, and what are those creatures that keep attacking me?"
"TheBeatsareyourconsorts,thebeingsofthisland.TheMonstersareUnderlingsofDerse,whoaretaskedwith killingall who fight for Prospit.The smaller ones are Imps,and the large ones are Ogres."
SF: W\-\OA, I THINK MY /-/EIRTOP MIG/-/T BE GLIC\-\ING. ITS FREAKING ME OUT A LITTLE.
SF: EIT|-|ER WAY, I'M GOING TO FIND OUT MORE ONCE T\-\EY CALM DOWN.
The creatures kept freaking out as well. Not much you could do but wait for them to get exhausted. A chest seems to have appeared in the room, snoring obnoxiously. Well then. You found KeepSprite.
