- Dreamscape, Primordial Sea -

The sound of waves crashing against the coast, the distinct smell of the sea and the softness of the sand below, Gharian once again found himself in the dream world to meet Ishar'mla again

After getting up and dusting himself off, he wandered around to look for Ishar'mla, but rather than finding who he was looking for he found a new person inside the dream, someone who wore a similar face to Ishar's human form

"Uhh... Hello?"

"Hm? Ah you are here, great"

The woman turned to face him and nods, she approached him and examined him all around

"Hoh? An Archosauria I see... Dunno why Ishar you'd be able to help us... Oh right, I forgot I'm Skadi of the Abyssal hunters, nice to meet you"

"Nice to meet you Miss Skadi, I'm Gharian"

Skadi nods and takes another look at him before sighing

"Do you know something I don't? Or am I just that dumb?"

"Err... I don't know... Even I'm still confused about all this"

The two stared at each other as a tumbleweed rolls on by

"Actually... Ishar did say it had something to do with my family"

"Your family? Why?"

"My dad is apparently Ishar's priest and representative in the real world"

Gharian says as Skadi's jaw figuratively dropped, all Abyssal hunters know who Ishar'mla's most trusted and high ranking priest is as he himself is also an Abyssal hunter, the Wandering Hunter, Stígandr

"Wait... He's your dad?! Huh... Now you being able to help us makes sense..."

Skadi comments as she takes a few seconds to think, after a few seconds she gives up and just points at Gharian

"Okay! I know your dad is an Orca Aegir which makes you half-Archosauria and half-Orca Aegir, and since I'm also an Orca Aegir this technically means you are now my little brother!"

Skadi proudly declares as an awkward silence rings through the primordial sea

"Oh I see! Okay then big sister!"

Gharian replies to Skadi, truly the Orca's share one brain cell

"THE HELL YOU MEAN 'OKAY'?!"

Ishar'mla comes from behind Skadi and smacks both of them on the head

"Ow! What's wrong with that Ishar?"

"Yeah, What's wrong with it?"

"What's wrong?! You can't just declare yourself his sister just because you belong in the same race!"

Ishar'mla complains as Skadi rubs the bump on her head

"Says who?"

"Says wh- Uhh... Wait..."

"See?"

Skadi somehow manages to outmaneuver Ishar'mla in the word department, much to the latter's horror

"W-Wha?! N-Never mind! We end that discussion here!"

"Psh... Coward"

"Not another word Skadi!"
