Right. The demon.
The demon is still on their heels.
Or...
Is it..?

"What am I supposed to do about that thing? It won't stop haunting all of us, and we can't beat it. Remember when we used the crystal and burned it?" Desperation creeps in Catch's voice when she questions this, creasing her brows in hopeless bafflement. "Nothing seems to work!"
Just then something clicks in the starry dragon's head and she adopts a semi-surprised or disturbed look; Whirling her head in Verian's direction, staring at him for a good second-- His eyes.
His right eye was gauged out and now is back.
Like nothing ever happened.
As if time was dialed back for him.
Furrowing her brows, Catcher muses aloud mainly to herself as she breathes in a strange tone: As if faced with a revolutionary revelation; Suddenly looking like a mad scientist that has made a discovery.
---"That thing came, literally turned back the clock for him, then left us.."
Looking back at Raven, the next sentence to fall from her maw rings like an ominous warning. Shock and realization morphing swiftly into pure horror at what has to be the most obvious-
"Holy sh-This is all a game for it. It's toying with us, has been toying with us all this time. It comes in, messes with us, leaves and then watches from somewhere the show."
And there is nothing we can do about it..

Watching the two dragons argue from his position on the bed, a sense of growing dread forms. He doesn't dare make a sound, simply fidgeting with his tail in discomfort and patiently waiting to be dismissed like a good boy. Lest they slap him.
The bruises on my tummy still haven't healed yet..I hope the crowd won't pay mind...
It was merely yesterday, at Riff circus when they were supposed to perform and things went relatively smoothly during rehearsal. Aonghus was busy getting ready like the others-- it was a big day! The day of the Great mother of plague was neigh upon arrival, as the great ringmaster said. Very special!
The time flew by in a blur, and he happens to still not have a good trick learned; (Juggling was old and boring, done to...to sleep of super old age. Balancing wasn't interesting either. And my balancing trick isn't cool enough....) Thus, he was left stumped.
But it's okay! I know it will be amazing! I hope..
Time came, the pearlcather calling out to the troupe as he announces the next act for tonight in a very cheery tone. Then my turn came--The young acrobat stepping onto the stage with some juggling balls of different colors, improvising with his newest trick anyway. After all, the ringmaster always said the gods favor the brave.
A slight misstep, yet the young performer still dared to be bolder. Balancing on the rope and tossed the balls like rehearsed, letting them hang in the air for a split second--enough to form a half halo above his blond head. Then leaped and caught each one while doing backflips, swiping them in one motion.
Catching the rest with his tail, all the while carefully maintaining his balance on the tight rope. As a closing act, the beastclans youth wraps his tail around the rope and lets himself 'fall'-- hanging upside-down and placing the balls on the ground.
Before quickly doing one last flip so he's upright again, throwing his hands in the air.
...Aonghus was not happy. I don't know what I did wrong this time.. He slapped me with his belt and poked me with his cane bit too harshly. Said I need to work harder, do better than this.
Wait. The day of the next program will be here soon!
I haven't practiced yet! Ringmaster will be so mad at me!
At this thought Verian pales, trying to suppress a shudder of fright at the next set of bruises to soon litter his body again. The Ringmaster can be very scary when angry. I-He should get back to the troupe! I'm-He's gonna be in so much trouble!
Snapping out of his thoughts, the serthis slowly climbs down from the bed-- eyes darting to the talking big dragons-- then quietly attempts to sneak to the door of the cabin. Furthermore, mom and dad...no. They..they really don't like me.
...Would Aonghus actually be happy if he learns bad pirates took me..?
