Halo slowly tries to sit up but cries out in pain, holding his side.

Bastian jumped when he heard Halo's cry of pain. "Halo? What is it? Are you okay?" he asked frantically

Halo winces, holding his side. "M-my ribs… or something… I think they broke when I was slammed into the wall."

Bastian’s eyes widened at that. He swore before looking around frantically, trying to find any kind of medical supplies that might help

Halo smiles weakly, "I'll be okay…" He whispers.

“No, you won’t, especially after you got tossed around like that,” Bastian replies as he continued to look for something to help

Halo grabs his arm. "I'll be fine. You need to stop worrying about me so much Bastian." he says sternly.

“I can’t stop, you might be dying and I can’t stop,” Bastian rambled, speaking more to himself than to Halo. He definitely sounded panicked, and the blackness in his veins was returning

Halo grabs his arms and pulls Bastian towards him, wincing as he does so. "Bastain. Calm down."

Bastian flinched a bit when Halo grabbed him and pulled him towards him. "I'm sorry, this is my fault, I should have protected you," he choked out

Happy smiles a little. "It was my fault for getting out of the trolley. I wanted to follow but froze." He says quietly, running his thumb along Bastians cheek.

"But you could die," Bastian insisted. "And I might never be able to see you again. If you die a human I'll never get to see you again."

Halo holds Bastian close then sighs. "Alright." He says softly.

Eventually the ship reached the base of the smoldering volcano. It was immensely high, and there was an air of protection and importance about it

Halo looks up and gulps softly. "Where are we?" he whispers.

"This is…This is the Lonoki volcano," Bastian said slowly. "It's a sacred place. When I was a child, we came to worship the fallen prince who protected our lands. I was never allowed further than the palace, even when I was with my father."

He nods, looking up at the Volcano with awed respect. "Wh-why were we brought here?" He whispers softly towards Bastian, biting his lip.

"Because that fish-looking guy is the prince, and the palace is the only safe place now," Bastian answered, gesturing towards the boy who had brought them onto the ship

He nods, leaning against Bastian tiredly. Everything was so confusing. All he wanted to do was go home and go back to sleep, wishing he had never found that stupid necklace. What had he done? What was going to happen to him?

The boy walked over to them, a stony expression on his face. "My name is Llano. I am pleased to make your acquaintance. Though before we exchange pleasantries, I would suggest we get the infected inside," he said to them

Halo gulps softly as he nods to the boy- Llano. He looks at Bastian, nervousness obvious in his eyes. He was so scared.

"Come along now," Llano said before turning to walk down off the plank extending from the ship down to the ground. Bastian scooped Halo up in his arms, feeling nervous himself as he followed after him

Halo holds onto Bastian weakly, watching Llano with curious eyes. He was scared but also interested.

Llano led them through an ornate, open gate, gold windchimes and various things swaying in the wind from where they were tied to the gate. The volcano in front of them was enormous, but Bastian didn't seem phased

Halo was very scared. He clung to Bastian with fear and nervousness. He gulps softly.
