[It's just a normal time in the Bluebell barn in sheep land! All is well and standard.

Except there's a tiny little garter snake sitting atop a small sigil on the floor. whos' blood is that?? don't worry about it]

Ummm. Hiya! I kinda need your help.

[ He feels like trusting talking snakes is known to be a dangerous affair. SUPER SUS. He knows the story about the garden!!]

Can we even trust an intruder? What exactly is it that you require help with? And why have you committed property damage to our floor?

[his tongue flicks out with wide eyes, voice high and childlike]

S-sorry, I kinda had to keep a low profile. Blossom isn't around--and I got a bit excited. It's just a precaution.

Why is that, exactly? For all of her faults and my lack of trust in her current abilities, she seems sincere if nothing else. For what reason are you hiding from her?

Weeeeell. . .

It's because of Death.

Because of... death?

. . . You fear she will try and harm you?

Not just me, everyone!

If you all stay here, you'll die, permanently.

I want to change that.

[W-Well that certainly has his attention.]

. . . What do you mean? How do you hope to change the situation? Do you have a method for sending everyone home?

Oh, I can't send you all home, you'll still be dependent on Blossom for that, whenever she decides to return.

But I can keep you all a little safer. She doesn't want to risk it--but it's not just you guys. Because she ticked off such a powerful entity, the rest of us are in danger, too!

The rest of you...?

[Creatures in the forest or fog?]

Is this the entity that killed Rose? I was not there when it happened, but I did hear somewhat about it.

[What people were able to explain, anyway.]

How are we supposed to help?

Mm, no, that was a demon she summoned. One specializing in transportation, I assume. Death is on par with a god, but she usually keeps to her own realm, only taking souls when their time comes. But even though you all don't belong here, she's more than willing to take yours, too.

So! I want you to die with me!

Y-You can not be serious!? Isn't that the opposite of trying to help us!?

It's the only way to reach her! I want to give this back to her.

[ Hacks up a crystal collar. It glows faintly with an other worldly energy.]

It was stolen from her!

[ Gross. But also wow... ]

How did you get it back? Why is this necklace so important to her?

My people had been searching for it for a while. Blossom took it, but now that we have it back, we can return it while she's gone.

It helps her power.

Please allow me to properly understand. And so... by sacrificing ourselves, we would be saving... everyone else?

[ His brows knit]

You must believe there is a way for us to return safely. You believe she will grant us life once more if this is returned to her?

I don't believe it, I'm certain of it.

[Pursing his lips.]

. . . Why did you come to us? Why help us at all?

And importantly, why is Blossom stealing from a goddess of death?

I've watched you all for a few days now. Clover seems a bit too youthful to grasp the gravity of the situation. Daffodil seems too self serving, and Rose and Thistle are more likely to try to attack death and offend her. And Lily needs to be here in case something else happens to another flock.

So. . .that left you all.

At least I can understand the logic when it is said plainly like that.

[Did everyone hear that. This means they're considered adult.]

That still leaves the matter of Blossom.
