Bastian was still sleeping soundly in their mountain of blankets, the occasional snore escaping him

Halo slowly opens his eyes, yawning. He smiles a little at Bastians sleeping figure.

Bastian was still snoring faintly, seemingly not waking up anytime soon

Halo chuckles brushing some hair out of his face before snuggling back into Bastian.

Does Bastian have the necklace on him or somewhere?//

(It’s in a wooden box sort of thing on his dresser. It’s kinda covered by random things but it’s still visible)

Bastian made a small noise in his sleep before cuddling Halo like a stuffed animal

Halo laughs a little, continuing to snuggle the other.

So maybe he's cleaning and he finds the box?//

(Yeah that’d work)

Bastian was snoring faintly now, apparently not getting up anytime soon

Halo chuckles and quickly replaces Avie for Bastian to hold. The dog looks disgruntled for a moment before she settles down. He smiles and slowly stands and stretches. He looks around at the living room, the kitchen and towards where the room was. Cleaning day.

Bastian sniffled a bit when Avie replaced Halo, but he didn’t seem to mind so much as he cuddled her

Halo starts with the room, tidying the bedroom. He hums softly as he adjusts a few things.

Bastian was still snoring in the fort with Avie. But when Halo neared the dresser, something appeared to almost becon him towards it

Halo slowly walks towards the dresser, almost as if he were in a trance. He lifts his hand and moves stuff out of the way.

Sitting beneath the mess of things was a simple wooden box. Though the detail in it was far from simple. The surface was covered with intricate whorls and symbols, the carvings seemingly inlaid with gold

Halo gasps softly, gently tracing the designs. He slowly slides off the lid, peering inside.

Inside was a simple but beautiful gold necklace, one that seemed to mimick the Egyptian style as it looked to go around the base of the neck. It seemed carefully crafted, seemingly modern in its construction despite the fact that it was almost 2000 years old

Halo gasps softly and gently reached out to touch it. He hesitates before setting a light finger on the jewel.

As soon as he touched it, the room seems to drop in temperate. There’s a feeling, almost as if the walls are watching him. And then in the blink of an eye, all he saw was black.

Bastian jolted awake, breathing heavily as if he had just had a nightmare. Though as he looked around, his panic only grew. “Halo?” he called shakily. “Halo?”

Halo let only a surprised gasp before everything went dark. He felt a slight pain in his head.

Bastian got up and walked into his room, eyes widening when he found his old necklace lying in the open box it resided in. Halo was nowhere to be found, and he panicked. He reached for the necklace, quickly clasping it around his neck and then teleporting to where Halo had gone.

Halo had been teleported somewhere eerily silent. He was in what appeared to be an old brick building, the walls covered with decorative white symbols. He appeared to be in an abandoned shop of sorts, though it looked like a tornado had hit the interior. There were faint lines running through the floors and walls, almost as if there was old circuitry running through it

Halos eyes slowly flutter open and he slowly sits up, groaning in pain as he clutches his head. Where was he? Where was Bastian? He begins to panic. "BASTIAN?" No reply.

Bastian took a deep breath before focusing. In the blink of an eye he was standing in the very same shop that Halo was now in. He looked around frantically for a moment. "Halo? Oh my god-Halo!" he exclaims as he catches sight of the other. He ran over to him, scooping him up into his arms

Halo gasps as he's grabbed, holding onto Bastian. "Wh-what happened? Where are we?" He whispers, looking at Bastian, obviously filled with fear.

"We're…We're in Lonakke," Bastian said, though he said the name of the place they were as if it were a curse. "Listen, we can't be here, especially not you. There's some bad stuff here, and if…And if the Honoki finds you, were' screwed," he rambled, his voice oddly hushed
