The Hall of Ghosts

You approach the entrence of a ruined temple, vines crawl over the ground, a small stream bubbles somewhere in the distance. No bird calls. No animal calls. Nothing besides the stream, ruined temple...and feet? Staring into the shadows you see a black wolf peek out from a doorway. More like a hole crumbled into the ground.

The more you stare you see the eyes of many familars peering out at you, scuttling away into the darkness. Suddenly a kind voice breaks the silence. "Are you lost dear? No one comes around here very often."

Whipping around you see a skydancer, standing besides you. You hadn't seen her before, you hadn't seen anyone. So how did she get here so soundlessly?

In your confusion you see her expression light up, was she...laughing..? "Who are you?" You call out hesitantly.

She doesn't answer, instead she motions for you to follow. You can't resist. You don't see the world haze over, your feet move. A spiral with yellow circuit crawled from behind a marble column. "Obliti!" lurching towards her, wrapping around her lovingly, "What has Quovus said about bringing newcomers here?"

Obliti nudged him, "I'm sure our hatchlings would love to meet a newcomer."

"As long as they don't stay." The spiral turns to you, "I'm Aeger, welcome, may you have longevity, and good health."

Behind you appeared, a female guardian, pink iridescent wings glimmering in the sunlight, she chattered with a Purple wildclaw, and a tundra, whose red fur seemed rather out of place. "Crupta, you can't be serious, a lair expansion won't be happening any time soon. There aren't even familiars to fund one."

The Tundra shook his mighty head, "And Erindos, can just as easily join me at the fair grounds, we can gather coin there like always."

The wildclaw, Erindos, nodded. "Of course, I don't mind sorting tablets and stones."

"You can always gamble with me." Crupta spoke, but before any other words were uttered, a firey colored mirror sashayed from the entrence, green eyes flashing, "I believe you have a gambling addiction Crupta."

"Volcano...I thought you were going to try gardening today." Crupta spoke in reply, parting away from erindos and Aetas, the pink winged guardian. Walking away with Volcano.

The Mirror barked out a laugh, "Me? I believe your mistaken, I may be from nature but all plants wilt under my touch."

Suddenly the world was ripped away and you find yourself in the grasp of a guardian who was looking to you concerned. Looking around, you don't see any sign of Obliti, Aeger, Volcano...or anyone. They all...vanished. It had been about midday when you arrived and suddenly the sky was pitched in the darkest night. No one was there except the guardian who held you back from climbing a great stone, in were the engraved words, "In the hall of ghosts, be careful where you tread. Stone upon stone memories fell. Daydream memories take you back from somberness, trapping you in illusions of the past."

"You were talking...why are you here?" The guardian leads you away from the stone, taking you within the chambers. You don't know how to answer, still fumbling for your own thoughts no matter how muddied.

"Welcome to the Hall of Ghosts. Here we live and here we remember, we-...I regret some of the ones who went away. We don't have many guests here. Welcome, refresh yourself. Scylla and Charybdis warned us of your arrival. I thought I'd greet you personally, the spirits here, they have good intentions, but those not of here should not be touched by the spirit realm. At least not this one." She managed a meek smile.

"Krieger does his best to speak with them, make the spirits feel as if apart of here, but I believe it has ill effect on him, often days he's mad, wandering the tunnels of this ever growing cavern. Muttering strange words. But that need not worry you. Here, lets take you Obliti. She's good with this."

"Obliti? The skydancer? She must be fast to be all the way down here suddenly." You suddenly speak up out of your dazed silence.

For a moment the guardian stares at you. Looking away ebony armor clinking against their black hide. "Obliti...she hasn't been here for awhile. No...this is a nocturne, we named her that in remembrance of forgotten. That's what it means."

"Who are you?" You ask, half expecting no response like you received from the strange sky dancer.

"I am Qouvus. Though names are meaningless, in the end we are all forgotten. Here we are."

Before you can say another word Qouvus is walking away, a small light green nocturne stands before you. "Welcome to the Hall of Ghosts stranger. I'm sure they greeted you charitably?"

For a moment you think, and smile, "Very."

The officer, gave a tired sigh and shook his head, "we'll easily find your contact, it would be easier to work it out in person. Hopefully, he can be out by the morning. Feel free to pick him up whenever if that's the case but, they're not going to let another magical pick him up. Just at least make it a few hours, so we can throughly figure out his situation. If he's tight lipped it might make it a bit more difficult to gather anything. " The officer extended a hand to avian who looked at it before taking it. Pulling himself up but shifting away wary, unconsciously making sure he was closer to Anna, than he was the officer. Which the officer noticed, "which might be the case, he seems to trust you quite a bit, so he'd probably open up to you more than anyone else, or just being around you he'd open up more. That's just a theory though." Which he shrugged afterwards, looking to avian. "Come on, kiddo." He stood still for a moment, quickly tossing his phone to halcyon who caught it gently and tucked it in her chest fur. "Keep that safe for me, please?" Looking to Anna for a second, and allowing himself to walk with the officer who tried various conversation starters, only receiving blank looks. It seemed his theory was already proving to be true.
