Bastian led them out, a happy smile on his face as he did so. "Welcome to Valiente," he hummed, gesturing theatrically as one of the guards glared at him. Up ahead from the train station were large gold gates, and a tired, annoyed-looking man was waiting for them by the gate
Pulling his hood down further to shadow his face, Orion keeps half a step behind Lata and Lucy, and only three behind Sam. Close enough to protect them if things should go badly. He would keep watch over his family. He would not lose them. Never. Shoulders relaxed, he stops with everyone else, standing perfectly still, unnervingly so. Never being one for extravagance, Orion doesn't take much note of the golden gates.
(back at the cottage)
Door open, the visitor takes wary steps inside, seeing the knocked over plates and opened fridge. Growing panicked when they scent the metallic pang of blood. Glancing over everything to find out what had happened, and where his beloved Ori had gone. Calixto will find him. He will.
(is this okay Iris? caus this ship is cute)
Lucy had bit softly at her lower lip, glancing up at the gates, then at the man waiting there. She tugged the sleeves of her sweatshirt down a bit before loosely crossing her arms across her chest. She threw a glance towards the others, doing her best not to fidget. She told herself that she was being stupid for having a bit of nervousness. This had to be safer than the last two places they had been.
Erik was holding Lucy's hand as they walked, looking wary as she glanced around. As beautiful as the place was, she didn't feel safe. The group reached the man by the gate, who looked rather unamused. Bastian, however, looked pleased to see him. "Osiris!" he exclaimed theatrically before wrapping an arm around the other's neck. He grinned as he did so, and the dark-skinned man looked rather pissed.
"Unhand me, Bastian," he muttered, his gold eyes matching Bastian's in an eerie sort of way. He didn't bother looking over at Bastian, his focus instead on the group in front of him
(Sorta got allowed to skip school in a way bc I was in too much pain to walk so I gotta do my hw now and tomorrow I'll only be on to rp in study hall so rip me)
Orion avoids the man's searching gaze, statue-like in his stillness. Wind swirling softly around his feet, kicking up dust and leaves, ruffling the edges on his cloak.
The gaze looks through him.
It sees nothing

(Ca1, yes. This is more than okay)
Cal looks worriedly around the garden outside the small cottage, searching for any lead or for even a sign of struggle. Nothing. The Mirro curses as a wave of hopelessness washes over him. There weren't even signs of the new companions Ori had been hosting lately. All he knew of was that the two witches were unable or refused to cast any spell of harm over any of them. That left… Samandriel. Running back inside quickly, china crushing underneath his boots, he begins to search his lover's expansive collection of magical novels. There were only few on other realms however, obvious due to their rarity and lack of interest. They were most often seen as myths. Finally, the tall man pauses on a page.
MOLHAVEN.
Not suited for mortals to travel to, this realm was created by the god of gods, Samandriel.
At this point, he stopped reading. "Damn that bastard," he muttered. Forcing himself to continue, he managed to find some way to open a gateway into said realm. Not possible for a mortal, but possible for those surpassing usual magic power.
Cal began to chant the phrase written.
(Up to you Octane if you want it to work or not mwahaha)
Glancing up at the man supposedly named Osiris, she hardened her stare in return to his own. To him she was probably assumed as the weakest threat possible. And the man wouldn't be wrong per say, but it was angering the small girl with how badly she and the others were being looked down upon. Thinking about it, she was starting to sound a bit arrogant in her mind. Was it Molhaven that affected people this way? No wonder Sam was like this upon his initial arrival.
(oooh, me likey)
(also oof I just realised I make all my gays possessive oops. Well Malachi isn't but he just gets upset and thinks he isn't good enough were a guy to break up with him)
(lmao)
(Side note: Sam didn’t make Molhaven, the god Molunus did. But he’s the guardian, so sometimes it’s recorded he made it)
(That's kinda the point, mortals aren't gonna get shit perfect so that's what I did lol
plus I'm not as familiar with your universe so there's that too lmao)
(tempted to make Cal argue with Sam like: yOU LIED AND CALLED YOURSELF A SUMMONED? tHIS BOOK SAYS OTHERWISE
Sam: Let me see that. flips through and once he reads the first sentence he starts cackling
Hell, I wish I made this place! Then it probably would have turned out greater than it is. I'm just the guardian of this realm.
Cal: Still makes you a liar and a kidnapper
Sam: They forced me to take them actually
Cal: Bullshit
Orion: While it's great to see you, it's true. We all wished to come.
Cal: dO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FUCKING WORRIED I WAS?)
(Reply
Orion: Sorry my darling mate, and they still are unaware of the little kick-ass surprise I have in store. Please don't tell them, they would chew me out.
Cal: YOU CAME TO THIS NIGHTMARE REALM WITHOUT TELLING THEM? WHAT THE FUCK ORI?! YOU COULD HAVE BEEN HURT!! OR KILLED!!
(Basically yes)
(accurate lmao)
(Can we please revive this?)
(ye)
(fuck yessssss)
(I replied last so imma just be here)
(oct, can I implore you to progress the story?)
(^^^^^)
(yeah, sorry, I like writing long responses in this rp so I usually like to wait until I have more time to respond)
"C'mon, Ozzy, lighten up. We've got visitors and you're being a prick," Bastian complained with a mock pout. "Ozzy" simply growled and pushed him away by his face before dusting himself off.
"Excuse him, he's rather…rowdy around visitors. My name is Osiris, and I have been implored to guide you to the gathering hall," the man said
(implored by the one known as Ca1 from the beyond lmao)
Lata allowed her facial expression to relax and seem less irritated. Really, if this meant going home soon, she'd follow along. The whole journey thus far seemed slightly off seeing how short of a trip it was to the dimension compared to getting back home. In complete honesty, a cup of tea by the fire place in the cottage sounded great. Perhaps even a quick shower before hand as well. It was kind of fortunate that her feet weren't aching in the slightly flat soled boots she usually wore. They were worn down slightly both in and out, but trustworthy.
