As they reached the house they noticed there was two other animals there, the first guy was a raven haired monkey who had his pink scooter parked in the forest and the other guy had bright red hair and looked like a possum... Izuku stopped in his tracks and stared at the two, but the other animals didn't seem to notice them, and if they did they didn't show it. Bakugo seemed to stiffen up upon seeing the two, a wasp doesn't have a sense of smell or feel vibrations of fiends so being in a forest like this really ticked him off. The wasp and the seal glanced at each other before walking towards the house, or more like the wasp walked and rolled Izuku with him. The silence was slowly killing the seal as you could probably hear a butterfly wing flop.
As they walked closer the other two animals had no choice but acknowledge their presence but still the silence held a chokehold on all of them, it felt like a curse to speak, but as Izuku knocked on the witches door the raven haired guy spoke up;

'She's not here.' Izuku froze, not only was the sentence the last thing he wanted to hear but because of the long still silent it was a shock for him to hear someones unfamiliar voice. Izuku could see Bakugo's fist clench in the corner of his eye and he was waiting for him to punch, or yell or do anything... but nothing happened? Maybe the silent chokehold was still stuck on Bakugo, maybe he didn't have time to waste on them, maybe he was sad, Izuku couldn't see his face and frankly he didn't want to either. Izuku looked up at the raven haired stranger.

'Oh, alright' was all he could say, after the long journey, after the long and thoughtful daydreaming Izuku had, it was all destroyed. They didn't even know if this witch lady existed and now that glimpse of hope they wore was all washed up. It pained him, and by the looks of it, it pained everyone standing around him, he kinda felt selfish, only thinking of his own transition of animal. Izuku opened his mouth to say something but quickly closed it again, there was no use in speaking. Izuku knew that he couldn't return. Not now. Not ever. He didn't wanna live his pathetic seal life, watching the shore day in and day out, the once nostalgic salted scent how hurt his nose, and the clips of the ocean that once gave him comfort only gave him scars. God, he couldn't even cry because it's salty taste just reminded him of the ocean all over again. He was tired, they all were, it was dark out and the stars were showing their beautiful paintings which were shining through the dark and cold night. Izuku didn't even remember falling asleep, maybe the witches aura casted a spell that made him feel so light and warm.

The next morning Izuku woke up with the golden light of the sun herself shining onto him, he closed his eyes again just to breath in and replay the last evening. He turned to his left and saw Bakugo and the other two strangers all in different places fast asleep. He smiled lightly at this, I guess they all had as much will as he did, he admired that. When he turned to his right however, the house that had been silent, empty and dark was now light, warm and opened up. Izuku nearly tried to stand up because of this shock but stayed in place, his heart was racing as he heard a light humming from inside the house and saw smoke come out from the chimney. He then saw a beautiful woman walking out of her house and watering her flowers on her front porch, she turned and looked at him with a welcoming smile, she was a red panda.

'Hello there! Sorry I didn't wake you up when I returned, I just... well...' She seemed unsure of what to say and just smiled with flushed cheeks hoping that he wasn't mad at her. He quickly returned her kind gesture and smiled back, he was happy to see that she wasn't a cranky old lady and just a small, kind young woman.

'I understand! It was nice out here anyways' he says as his eyes drifted off towards the old yet fairy like trees, the leaves were the greenest this time a year. This commotion woke the others up and the red headed guy went up to introduce himself to the pretty witch.

'Ah! Hello, I'm Eijiro Kirishima, I've heard of your powerful magic and your kindness to others, and well to be blunt... I wanna change animal, I have cash with me and if that isn't enough I'll help around!' She was smiling even brighter now and opened her mouth to say something but closed it quickly, her smile turned slowly into a frown and then she turned around.

'I... Can't.'
