Between the empires.

Chapter 2. 🌸

"HI." A voice said from above.

He jumped slightly at the sudden voice, his wings twitching. He looked up towards the voice that had spoken.

Fwhip landed down in front of him, waving cheerfully.

Scott was startled by the sudden appearance of Count Fwhip.
"You could've knocked you know!" He sounded angry yet slightly amused.
"Wait, why are you here, Fwhip?" He asked, now curious.

Soooooo there may or may not be a really big strong purple rift smack in the middle of the empires... Fwhip said, spinning around to look up at the castle's structure.

Scott's eyes widened as he heard this news.
"You mean, in middle of all of the empires?!" He asked in shock.
"What happened?" He sounded very confused.

His wings spread upwards in a panicked and confused manner.

"I don't know! It just appeared here, it's closest to Katherine's so we're all gonna meet up at the Overgrown."

He was silent for a moment, then spoke up again.
"Well then, why haven't you told anyone else? This seems like a very important thing to discuss."
He sounded slightly annoyed.

His wings were twitching around him in an anxious manner.

"Sausage is getting other people, he said for me to come get you." Fwhip said, adjusting his flight googles.

His wings were shifting around him, he was still very tense.

"Well, Anyways, let's go." Fwhip said taking off.

Scott sighed before taking off after Fwhip.
His wings were shifting around rapidly as he flew to the Overgrown.

When they arrived Fwhip swooped down at the entrance to Katherine's castle, they were some noises, sounded like arguments, the other rulers had already gotten there so they were the last to arrive.

Fwhip landed right behind Fwhip, his wings slightly shaking.
"Now then, why were we summoned here, did you say a rift or something was forming?" He asked, looking at Fwhip as he spoke.

"Yeah, so basically in summary a giant purple rift has appeared rightttt over there." Fwhip said, pointing to a glowing little dot a distance away from the Overgrown.*

Scott stared at the dot, his eyes slightly widening in shock.
"A purple rift, over our land, you say?" He spoke with a slight tremble in his voice.

His wings were shifting around more rapidly.

"Well yeah basically. Some rulers have a theory Xornoth had something to do with it, but who knows!" Fwhip answered, walking into the castle.

He frowned, turning towards the castle entrance.
"Do you think Xornoth is behind this? I mean, he is the God of corruption, so it could be possible?" Scott asked.

His wings were shaking intensely now, he was beginning to panic more.

"In my opinion, I don't think it's their fault, also I read a book once. Yeah it basically went; Blah blah blah, Exor the God, blah blah blah.*

He went silent at the mention of a book, he was not expecting Fwhip to mention one at all.
"What book did you read about this? I've never heard of anything like this." Rivendell sounded quite interested, his wings shifting around as he spoke.

" Actually, I got it from Katherine, so you'll have to ask her about it." Fwhip said, as a rock was thrown past his head. "OH MY STARS-" Fwhip said, surveying the chaotic scene.

He was about to speak up again but was interrupted when the rock flew past Fwhip.
"What the- Was someone trying to hit you?!" Scott asked, sounding more than concerned.
"What is all of this noise?" He looked around in curiosity.

All The other rulers looked around sheepishly "uh. Sorry, I didn't mean to throw that towards you Fwhip," Jimmy said, smiling nervously.

Scott looked towards Jimmy.
"Well why did you throw it, Jimmy?" He asks, sounding slightly mad.

He looked around at the other rulers and wondered what exactly was going on.

"Hey- Lizzie started it." Jimmy said, pointing at the Ocean queen. "Heheh." Lizzie said.

Scott wasn't surprisedm but asked her anyways.
"Lizzie started it?" He asked, sounding annoyed.

He was also a little shocked that Lizzie was acting so nonchalant about this, Scott was worried about the tension present in The Overgrown at the moment.

His wings shifted around a little bit, the noise of the arguments made them twitch.

"Hello? Guys and gals?? Can we get back to how to fix the rift problem?" Gem asked.

Scott turned to Gem and nodded.
"You're right, let us all be silent and speak more seriously about this."

He was starting to feel more anxious due to the noise.

His wings were constantly twitching too, as if they were moving on their own.

"Ok, everyone just pick a seat I guess", Katherine said, rubbing her temples.

Scott looked around for a seat, his wings flickering nervously.
He eventually picked one next to Fwhip. He wasn't surprised by Katherine's nervous demeanour, after all, the rift situation was no joke.

The constant noise of arguing and talking was making his wings twitch and flicker.

"We need to find a solution to this problem soon." He said with a hint of tension to his voice.

"Actually, I might have one." Gem replied, looking at everyone.

Scott looked over at her, slightly surprised.
"You have an idea?" He asked, sounding both intrigued and curious.

"Mhm. So basically, there's a spell I could get to close down the rift, well, at least from our side." Gem said.
