After dropping that bombshell of news onto them, Haruko thought it would be nice to invite them over to his house so they can fully talk about everything. 'do any of you want a drink?' he asks as we all walk into the very familiar house to me. Aiden nods 'can I have water please?' he asks and Amelia follows suit and nods as in saying she also wants water. Haruko smiles and nods and walks to the kitchen to get the drinks. 'wait, I'll help you with the drinks' Andy says and follows him into the kitchen. Me and navie lead Aiden and Amelia to the living room and we all sit down on the couch. That's when I really realized just how short Aiden is, his head barely reaches Amelia's shoulders. It's kinda cute. 'So...uhm, what's your world called?' Amelia's voice pulls me out of my thoughts about her brother. 'oh yeah! Our world is called Glashel.' Navie responds, and they both nod. 'how did you both get here?' she asks. Aiden pauses for a moment before speaks up 'well- we heard a weird sounding scream outside and when we walked out the door to check, uh- we fell into this dark void.' I tilt my head slightly. 'so you were brought here by some void?..' I ask. Aiden pauses before nodding 'i guess?' he says while shrugging his shoulders. I nod. I noticed Haruko and Andy returning, with the drinks in hand. They pass the drinks out before sitting down themselves. After a moment of silence, Aiden speaks up 'hey...uh- can I ask something?' he asks. Navie nods 'yeah of course, go for it.' she responds. He seems hesitant before speaking up 'so like...is there a way to see what world is being destroyed next?' he asks. The question definitely caught us off-guard. I clear my throat before speaking 'i mean..there is a way we can find out. There's a sage close by, she's able to see what world is next...but do you really want to find out?' I ask, and he instantly nods. Before I can say anything more Haruko speaks up 'you two go ask the sage, tell us when you get back, okay?' he says. I get confused why he says only me and Aiden go but I don't question it. I stand up and so does he. After he says goodbye to Amelia and Andy, he follows me out of the living room. I can see he's nervous, he might be worried it's this world being destroyed, but I doubt it. Without thinking, I grab his hand and lead him out of the house.

'What is a sage, exactly?' Aiden asks as we both walk down the street, hand in hand I may add. 'its like a fortune teller I suppose, there are many of them around, some can tell the future or how your gonna die, this one can see what world is being destroyed' I respond. Aiden hums slightly 'thats rather...dark.' he says, and I can't help but chuckle. He did have a good point that I can't argue with. After a while of walking we get to this big, white house on the corner. It has ivy covering the walls and windows of the house, at first glance people might say it's haunted. We walk to the door and I knock on it. We hear footsteps approaching the door and a oldish lady opens it and recognizes me. She smiles 'Ah Cyrus dear, what brings you here?' she asks as she notices Aiden. 'oh? And who's this little boy?' I hold back a chuckle from the little boy comment. 'hello ma'am, this is my friend. We've just come to ask a question.' I respond. The woman smiles and nods and lets us come in. 'of course, of course, come on it then.' I walk in and Aiden walks in behind me, staying close to me. The woman leads us over to the kitchen table and we all sit down, Aiden sitting beside me and the woman across from us both. 'now, my dears. What do you want to ask?' she asks with a smile. I glace at Aiden to see if he'll say it but he stays completely quiet. I look back at the woman 'well ma'am, we are just wondering, do you know what world is next in like for the exterminations?' I ask. The woman pauses, like she was obviously not expecting that but she sighs and nods. 'i know...but your not going to like the answer..' she says. I feel a spike of anxiety shoot though me and Aiden must of notices cause I feel him gently hold my hand, I notice his hands and trembling like he's also scared of the outcome. 'what world is it?' I ask. The woman pauses and looks down at the ground before locking eyes with both of us and saying the words we did not want to hear. 'this world is next.'
