Over the snowy mountains, Violet hovered her aircraft over the area that had the cave that lead to the doors inside the mind of Lilly.  Everything was in ruins.  Trees were knocked down and covered the cave entrance.  Violet rolled her eyes as she moved the helicopter around, trying to find a clear spot to land. 

"Good bloody grief!" she exclaimed.  "You weren't kidding, Cyan.  This place is a wreck!"

"I did tell you," Cyan said over the intercom.  "What are you dropping off, anyway?"

"The wolf."

"What the hell for?"

"Dad's orders."

"Hmm, fair enough.  Did he tell you why?"

Violet chuckled evily.  "We're expecting visitors today, dear brother."

"...From outside?!" Cyan asked in shock.  "You're fucking kidding!"

Violet cackled loudly as she continued to look for a landing area.  "I'm not!  Dubh got killed so the door opened!"

"What a dumbass!" Cyan laughed.  "What about the other doors?"

Violet hummed as she thought.  "You know what?  I have no idea.  Maybe I'll uh...go take a quick peek."  She kept looking around, finally spotting a place to put her helicopter.  "Yes, I think I'll take the wolf bitch and go investigate."

"You should!  And bring your D-Call device!  I want updates!"

When Violet descended to the ground and shut the vehicle off, she took off her seat belt and helped Morgan out of hers.  "Yeah, yeah," she said into the radio.  "You and your fucking gossiping mouth.  I don't want you to tell anyone about this.  I mean it."

"I won't say a word," Cyan giggled.

Once Violet and Morgan clambered out, Violet shrunk her helicopter and put it back on her key ring before searching around in her satchel.  She then grabbed a black, curved device and attached it to her earlobe.  It changed into a black dragon and inserted its head into her ear canal, then she clicked on a button on the side.

"Cyan," she said and a small microphone appeared from the dragon's tail, slowly extending to her mouth.

"Yeah.  How's it look over there?" Cyan asked.

"Dreadful," she sighed as she put a leather rope around Morgan's neck.  "I better not run into any of Fuschia's damn monsters in there."

"Ah, you're leveled up enough that you could take them all easy."

"This is true," Violet shrugged.  "Alright, well, I'll let you know if I see anything out of the ordinary."

Violet flicked the leash and Morgan started walking through the debris and snow.  "Excellent.  Later, Sis!"

The call disconnected and the tail shrunk back up into the dragon's body.  "Just a quick peek," she said absentmindedly as the pair trekked onwards.

At the cursed door in Lilly's mind, a small, floating object was shining a light around the door, its needle like appendages extending from its acorn shell.  Two copter blades sat atop the lid of the acorn, whirring to keep the drone afloat.  A small lens was placed in the shell as well and it was looking through the darkness.
