bexitys journey

13

The creature dipped it's head "it's nice to finally meet you, bexity. My name is bubble, and youre in the uniweb. Your mother here has kept our realm a secret for many years, and we have heard many stories about you."

Bexity sighed "it's nice to meet you too, bubble.. what do you mean we?"

"He means that there's others here"

Bexity spun around, a creature that looked like bubble, but a wolf, and much bigger stood there, a string with a watch tied loosely around its neck, laying on top of the grey fur.

"Time keeper, where is wasp? Hes not with you" bubble tilted his head at the new visitor

"I told him to patrol the borders, we don't want any demons coming in here."

"Let's go bexity, I have a feeling I know where the rest of them are"

Bexity followed her mother, until a large fence blocked them.

Shade climbed over it, and bexitys had to admit, no matter how blind her mother was, she was quick, it took bexitys three times as long to climb it.

Then they were at a beautiful waterfall, the water sparkling gold, a river stretching from it as long as she could see.

Shade walked next to the river, tail flicking.

Soon, she stopped, a large dog-like creature was sniffing around, it's white eyes wide like how a deer would look.

Shade held out a hand, telling bexitys to stop, and slowly stepped towards the creature, lowering herself so she looked smaller.

It looked at her, and started going towards her, stopping when they were about a foot apart, and lowering its head.

Shade gently reached up with her un-scarred hand, petting it and standing up.

"Come, bexity"

Bexity went to her mother, watching the creature

"This is an up-demon, they're allowed to be here, they aren't hostile. I'm hoping this one will help me get to the keepers faster"

The demon lifted it's head, sniffing towards bexity, before it trilled, lifting a leg, and poking bexitys chest. It's empty eyes seemed to no longer resemble just that, they were full of thought, consideration, worry.

"It knows your my daughter. I've saved this one, haven't I?" She asked herself, glancing at its body, where a single spot of white could be found. "Yep. This one trusts you because it trusts me."

The demon turned, stalking off, then looked back at bexity expectantly.

Shade started to follow it, and therefore bexity did too.

The demon glanced around, but stayed enroute, before it sat down.

"We're here" shade stepped past the demon, patting it's head and murmuring a thank you. Bexity did the same, for a demon, it was much nicer than the laughter demon she had encountered before.

"I've been expecting you" a creature the size of the previous wolf had it's back turned to them, staring at a statue of a two headed wolf with a falcon on its shoulder.

"Disk keeper." Shade dipped her head

The creature turned, revealing that it had the same scar as shade, and the same color eyes.

"Your daughter is here too?"

"I felt it was time"

"Very well then. Come here, little one."

Bexity felt a familiar flash of anger in her stomach at being called "little one" but it went away as she stepped forward to the creature

"Who are you?"

"My name is lost to the ages, everyone calls me the disk keeper. You may be wondering why you can do what you can, aren't you?"

"Wait, you know?"

"That you can see ghosts? Of course I do, the gods gave you this power before you were even born, they knew you would need it. Now, do you know who these are?" The creature gestured towards the statue, and bexity shook her head

"This is kuri" it gestured to the wolf "and Asher" then to the falcon "demigod of deceit and the demigod of memory. Their ranks were stripped from them decades ago, now they aren't demigods, but creatures of wrath."

Bexity hummed in response

"I'm sure you are confused about recent events" it looked at bexity "so let me explain to you who alaki truly is"
