Asellus woke up the next day and went outside, he saw Ivy tending to the crops and went over to her. Ivy noticed him and stopped tending to the crops.
Ivy: Good morning sleepyhead.
Asellus: Good morning...where is everyone else?
Ivy: Well...I saw Jules go into the forest looking for food. I think Barten and Feyn went into the portal to look for something.
Asellus: Oh, okay then. How are you doing?
Ivy: Bored, this dimension hopper stuff is kinda eh.
Asellus: Ehh, that's just the first phase of being a DH, you just have to get used to not having all your original powers... Actually, how DID you manage to become a DH, you seem like any ordinary girl.
Ivy: ...Ha..HAHA.
Asellus looked at her worried.
Asellus: You okay hun?
Ivy looked at him with a smile, her eyes had changed.
Ivy: You really think I look like some ordinary girl?
Asellus: Not...anymore. What the hell is up with your eyes?
Her eyes went back to normal
Ivy: You aren't...scared?
Asellus: Oh honey...you haven't seen what I could've done with my powers.
Ivy: ...that used to scare everyone.....
Asellus put his hand on her head and looked at her directly in the eyes.
Asellus: Honey, how did you become a DH?
Ivy grabbed his hand, in a split second she let go of him and moved back.
Asellus: What?
Ivy: What...are you?!
Asellus: That doesn't matter hun. I asked you a question, you gonna ignore me?
Ivy's face turned red as she looked directly at Asellus.
Asellus: Wait...
He walked over to her and picked her up by the arm.
Asellus: What did you see?!
Ivy: Ow!
He let go of her.
Asellus: What did you do?
Ivy: I maybe have used one of my powers to see your past.
Asellus: Why?!
Asellus grabbed the device on his head and held it tight.
Ivy: Well...I wanted to know more about you.
Asellus: You could've just asked me! You didn't have to see everything about my past like that!
Ivy: ...sorry.
Asellus: sigh Don't you dare tell anyone. If you're gonna ask questions then ask Barten, as you saw, he's from my original universe.
He let go of the device on his head and walked towards the portal. Ivy saw him walk away and sat back on the ground. As Asellus walked through the portal, he saw Barten and Feyn fighting pigs with armor that had attacked them. He walked forward and noticed there was a slight fall, he jumped down and walked over to them. He seemed angry, a skeleton went to shoot him, he split the arrow in two while it was mid-air and drove the sword through its skull. As he was approaching Barten and Feyn, Ivy spoke to him through the device he had given her.
Ivy: 'You know, I actually liked who I saw back there...'
Asellus turned his head and looked up at the portal, Ivy stood there with those eyes and a smile. She walked away and Barten put his hand on Asellus' shoulder.
Barten: Sup.
Asellus looked at him and noticed Feyn had gone down to the hole that they had made before.
Asellus: Listen, something happened.
Barten: Hmm?
Asellus: Ivy knows about our pasts...mostly mine.
Barten pulled out a sword and went to grab the device on his head. Asellus grabbed his arm and stopped him.
Asellus: She won't tell anyone.
Barten: We can't let ANYONE know!
Asellus: I know, listen, if she does tell anyone...that's when we take action. She said she liked what she saw...I don't know if that proves that we can trust her but...let's not keep killing anyone cause of that.
Barten: If she tells anyone, I'll take this stupid thing off and fight anything in my path.
Asellus: It'll be fine.
Feyn walked up from the hole and went over to the two.
Feyn: You two gonna do this thing or what?
Asellus: Huh?
Barten: Yeah, let's go down there.
Feyn: Aight.
The three started going down the small cave but not before Barten told Asellus that he would talk to him later about the situation. The three walked down for a solid 2 minutes until they reached the bottom. There, Barten place down some weird material and three skulls on top of it. The skulls filled with purple light as the material took the form of a torso. A three-headed creature appeared and the three of them prepared their bow to fight it. The creature floated up and destroyed its surrounding area. It started shooting skulls at the three while they shot arrows at it. Asellus grabbed his sword and deflected some hits as Barten and Feyn kept shooting. Asellus moved to protect the two as they shot. While Asellus deflected a shot that was heading towards Feyn, Barten rolled back to dodge a shot that was coming towards him. The creature had taken some damage from the shots and surrounded himself with a reflective aura. It then moved back down and started rushing them to hit them directly. The three dodged and it started shooting at them again. Asellus rushed the creature when he saw a chance, it shot some skulls at him. Asellus deflected all except the last one, he cut it in half and was pushed back. Barten jumped over him and rushed forward, he hit the creature 10 times in 5 seconds and moved back. Feyn moved past him and hit him 5 times. The creature started floating up, Asellus ran and jumped up on Barten's shoulder and jumped forward to hit it one last time. The creature disappeared and left behind a small star. Barten picked it up with his bare hands and put it in his pockets. Feyn looked at him worried.
Barten: What? You have never seen a guy put a small star in his pocket or something?
Feyn: No...
Barten: Well now you did, let's go back.
The three of them walked back up and went back through the portal, they saw Jules approaching them along with Ivy.
Jules: Is that a star in your pocket or are you just happy to see us?
Barten pulled out the star.
Jules: Oh.
