Because of... death?

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

[wooliefrand]

Not just me, everyone!

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

I want to change that.

[heavyliesthecrown]

[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?

[wooliefrand]

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!

[heavyliesthecrown]

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?

[wooliefrand]

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!

[heavyliesthecrown]

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

[wooliefrand]

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!

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ Gross. But also wow... ]

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

[wooliefrand]

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.

[heavyliesthecrown]

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?

[wooliefrand]

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

[heavyliesthecrown]

[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?

[wooliefrand]

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.

[heavyliesthecrown]

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.

[wooliefrand]

She's not here right now.

[heavyliesthecrown]

I-I mean, why in the world is she stealing from Death and making her angry, to begin with?

[wooliefrand]

To put it simply, as usual. . .she thought she was helping.

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . . Someone needs to glue that sheep's hooves to the ground.

[wooliefrand]

Should could find a way around it.

[heavyliesthecrown]

You seem to be rather familiar with her. I didn't realize so many of you are... capable of speech. Not all of the animals in the forest have that ability, do they?

Blossom, Stormy, Red, Daisy... the wolves.

[Or at least one of them.]

What name do you go by?

[wooliefrand]

Mm, there are many of us scattered about.

But! You can just call me Snake.

[heavyliesthecrown]

That should be easy to remember.

[ It can't actually be his name though. ]

I have a question for you. Are you familiar with Red?

[wooliefrand]

The "big sheep?" Of course.

[heavyliesthecrown]

Mmm... what are your thoughts on them? If you wouldn't mind sharing. Are they trustworthy?
