CHAPTER 1: Newfound Discovery ★

The sunset glow had radiated across the forest, spreading some sort of fiery glow amongst the grass. It had almost turned dark as someone started walking back to the hotel just outside it, walking for a while before they stopped to take the scenery in while thinking to themselves. The almost-midnight breeze felt so calming around Two, it was why they liked going for walks at night. It was quiet and none of the contestants would be bothering them, so now they just had time to themselves and had no other way to spend it. They stopped to take a breather, looking over the rails of a bridge that extended across a river that flowed into the canal nearby. Two always loved to stare at the fish, they liked the way they looked as they swam. When they paused, they looked around, noticing something sticking out from the side of a tree, and when they walked backwards to readjust their point of view, they got a slight look at some sort of treehouse.

"Huh... That's weird... I don't recall seeing some weird house here.." Two said to themselves, debating on whether to go investigate or not, to which they did. And when the time came to try to get a clearer view of the treehouse, it looked way too shabby and fallen apart for anyone to live there. They found this out by trying to walk up the steps that lead to the door inside and after stepping on one of the steps, it made a loud "crack" as the step came down and hit the dancing blades of grass with a loud thud.

"Maybe I should.. think twice about stepping in here..." Two had stated, preferably not to get themself hurt. "If anything, it's too broken for my taste, I don't think anyone could live in there at all."

As they eventually crept down the creaky staircase, the bush beside them had started to rustle as they noticed the end of a gecko tail sticking out of it, two red bumps had protruded out of it and it was rather large and plush-like. Though, when Two tried to get a hold of it, the tail had vanished under the foliage that stood between the both of them. They wanted to stay cautious in fear of this being an animal, but their slight desire to know what that tail belonged two hit them like a truck. Two felt the need to be quiet and find out what that was, so they carefully stuck their hand in the bush and pulled something out, being careful not to hurt it in any way if it was some small animal. But what they pulled out seemed almost concerning that they immediately placed it back down again: some kind of purple alien creature as tall as up to their knee. 

The creature had a squarish head, rounded ears that stuck out beside the head and two little grey horns on top that were like little pointy buttons. It's body resembled that of a shuttlecock, being light purple with two small pinkish cloud-shaped wings stuck out from behind, which was where it's tail was, sticking out yet curvy. It's eyes resembled that of swirls and it's teeth were sharp, like fangs, but never went outside the mouth. It seemed startled as it flailed it's arms around while it started to cry, terrified of what just happened.

Two, taking immediate action, had chosen not to startle this creature any more than they already did. They carefully tried to hush it and get it to calm down by carefully rubbing it's head with their thumb as it cried more out of fear. It attempted to walk backwards but fell behind itself, to which Two had patiently waited for it to sit back up again. They attempted again to try and gain it's trust and stuck their hand out and the creature slowly grasped their hand with two of its own. Two was happy that this was somehow working and they slowly but surely started to rub their head again, which had worked since now all it was doing was sitting on the floor and accepting the generous pets from them.

"Hey little guy... are.. you alright?" They spoke as soft as they possibly could, but the creature did not speak, maybe it was shy?

"Do you... understand me?  Two asked, hoping for an answer but yet came up short, so they tried to find ways to communicate with it somehow when they got an idea.

"Okay.. how about this... If you understand me and what I'm saying, then can you nod for me?"  Two sighed as they walked around thinking of a question to ask the little one before kneeling down Infront of them as to not seem too intimidating.
