Henwy listened quietly while picking out loose feathers on his wings. Rafessor, Florian, and Sigils were strategizing and formulating plans that could be used against Biffle and SSundee. Henwy was feeling pretty scatterbrained due to the loss of his partner, so his main contribution would be to point out a small detail and watch as the three attempted to reason around it, only to find out that it couldn't be reasoned around.

Frost had left not long ago when he had spotted Biffle approaching, which cause Sigils to go completely silent until Frost had left and the planning continued.

Henwy flicked away a feather, sighing quietly.

"I need to look deeper into multi-dimensional weapons," Rafessor murmured, glancing at the piles of books on the nearby desk.

"We probably don't have much time," Florian replied.

"They have draconic armor," Rafessor replied, "We need to find something powerful enough to cut through that, and something strong enough to help us, since those claws are enough to cut through most armor."

"My sword burned through the armor," Henwy offered, "And my armor is resistant to the claws."

The three eyed Henwy. Rafessor slowly nodded, "Okay. I should go look more into similar armor sets."

Rafessor was about to turn away to the books, when Frost burst in, eyes locking on Florian and Rafessor.

"SSundee. The Tentacle Monster. He found it." Frost said quickly, breathing quickly.

"What?" Rafessor demanded, "Are you sure?"

Frost nodded, "I don't know how it escaped to this dimension but it's here and SSundee is bringing it back."

Florian and Rafessor shot one another a fearful look. Rafessor turned to Henwy and Sigils while Florian quickly ran off to collect his armor and weapons.

"You two, stay here." Rafessor ordered, jabbing a finger in the duo's direction.

Henwy and Sigils shared a confused look as the admins raced out of the house.

"What's a tentacle monster?" Henwy asked.

"Like I have a clue," Sigils responded, "Must be some sort of other-worldly monster type that SSundee figured out how to control."

"The admins look extremely worried for it to just be another monster," Henwy said skeptically.

"Yeah..." Sigils murmured.

The two sat in awkward silence. A rumble shook the house, causing the two to shook each other a worried look.

"Think we should check that out?" Sigils asked, fluttering his black wings.

"Maybe," Henwy replied, shaking out his own golden wings.

"They're going to be so mad," Sigils commented as he pushed himself off of the bed and stood, looking around the room. His eyes landed on a door, which he opened.

Sigils cooed, "Oh, what's this?"

He revealed a large green cloak, similar to the black and red one Frost wore as armor.

"This is mine now." Sigils commented, throwing the cloak over his shoulders and flipping up the hood.

"You can't just take the admins' stuff, Sigils," Henwy murmured.

"Well what am I supposed to do? Use my old armor? That set is in tatters," Sigils explained, flicking his claws, "Plus, I look handsome in this."

"Mhm," Henwy nodded slowly as he stood up to collect his own armor, "Sure."

Sigils frowned and gave his best puppy-dog impression, "You don't think I'm pretty?"

"I didn't say that," Henwy replied, "You're good at inferring, though."

"WOW okay," Sigils scoffed, "I see how it is."

Henwy smiled innocently.

The two made their ways to the door and stepped outside. They looked around, searching for the source of the ruckus. Henwy gave Sigils a confused look. The enderman jutted his chin at the hill nearby that blocked the view of SSundee's house.

They hiked up to the top. Henwy sucked in a breath.

Outside of SSundee's house was a portal, with a large, black creature rising from the depth.
