The Problems of Another World

A Shining Beast

Otto woke, sweaty, next to him hanging in the vines intertwined in the foliage was a shirt and pants that fit perfectly. It looked like his old clothes only black sections along the sides and sleeves made it look more like a uniform. First he climbed down to the zygtree Finding fresh fruit, even a few new flavors growing out of the table branch. The new ones all have a unique crunchy texture. Otto sat and began eating them. When suddenly he felt compelled to say "thanks ZYG".

Renner came down next "Is ZYG here?" he was wearing some new clothes with the same black sections. It fit them well.

Otto shrugged his mouth partially full of the new fruit. "I'm mean he is the ship, right? So yeah like 24/7." he smiled at his brother's confusion.

"No, but he made me some crunchy fruit. And got us these new clothes." He said holding up a half-eaten fruit. " I felt grateful."

Renner sat down and began picking at a rather juicy fruit. "This is insane right we woke up today in a tree."

"Never has there been a time stranger than this one right here, we have two twin brothers with their twin sisters who are really just them from an alternate timeline and were on a spaceship." Otto said as Renner sat to try some of the new fruit.

"Not to mention, the sweetest woman on either earth, our sister is now immortal, which I personally thought was a myth." Renner added ripping the top off a gourd, and drinking juice inside, then asked. "I was out like a baby. How did you sleep?"

"I had a nightmare." Otto confessed

"after all we've been through that doesn't surprise me at all. Do you wanna talk about it?" Renner said offering an ear.

Otto let out a sigh "you know what dad always said. There's a magical property to the relief that comes from letting your words out." He smiled as his brother mouthed the words with him. Then a pause "I was in the grasp of Trewn, that judgmental ringing was making me want to run so bad. When I looked over to you everything began pulsating with the ringing until I fell out of his grasp. I braced for the impact with the floor but instead I fell through it. Like it wasn't there. When I opened my eyes next, I was standing in principal Ribbons office I was fifteen again. He kept on laughing at me telling me I'm going to be suspended without pay. Then he began hitting the table with a gavel that sounded exactly like Trewn's infernal ringing. Saying take him to the walls. The walls folded around me. I was surrounded with very little space for what seemed like days. Then slowly the walls became snakes. As I started getting bit I woke up, sweaty." He looked at his clothes as if to express again his appreciation for ZYG.

Izzi came down. Smile fading from her face. Comma leapt out of her pocket to the roots for some of the juicy fruit. She quickly began feasting. It's hunger plain to see but Izzi felt, it was also nice to feel it too. Izzi sat near the little creature across from the boy's "Boy did I sleep well" she stretched her arms out wide, then leaned back. She was wearing a loose blouse and culottes. The black in similar spots to make it look like a part of a team.

Bunkr brushed past Izzi, sending out a feeling of exactly where she needed a good scratch. so Izzi obliged scratching her on her hind quarters. Bunker took a seat by the boys who helped their dog snack on some fruits.

"Did you guys hear the babbling Brook?" Renner said taking a bite of a round fibrous fruit. "It was so soothing, like a lullaby."

Behind Bunkr and the boys a giant metal snake slithered out silently from behind the great ring of trees. Izzy's giant grin leaked out of her lips. She laid her head back almost giving away Hannahs Prank. After a second the boy's looked at each other, confusion turning to fear when they saw the snake. They brothers stumbled out of their chairs, while Bunker had all four of her paws and her mouth clawing at it, sending out deadly emotions. It rapidly slipped back into the trees and into Hannah's arms as she emerged from the trees, laughing boisterously.
