The Ones Who Freed the 'Puppet' From the 'Puppet Master'

One||WHO HARMED YOU?! WE'LL KILL THEM!

I sighed as Cosmos flew beside me, and then looked behind us, making sure that Shinku and Karasu were still there. "You two doing okay back there? Do we need to stop somewhere?" I asked them. They looked at me with a smile. "I'm good, what about you, Karasu?" Shinku asked our raven-winged companion. "Could we find a place to stay for a while? I need to rest my wings." Karasu said softly. I smiled softly at him and nodded. "I think I found a place!" Cosmos yelled back to me. I looked at him and noticed that he had found a portal leading to a white Void. I smiled at him and nodded. "Let's go." I told them.

I snapped up at the loud scream that came from Karasu. I sped to him with Cosmos and Shinku. "Karasu! What's wrong?! What happened?!" I asked him. He pointed in front of him. I gasped and immediately checked the stats of the injured skeleton. I sighed in relief and turned to Shinku. "Heal him, and quickly." I told him. He nodded with a determined look.

I smiled as the skeleton slowly woke up. "W-what happened?" He asked. "Hello Error. Are you feeling better?" I asked him. He yelped and jumped back. "WHO ARE YOU?! WHERE ARE YOU?!" He yelled and frantically looked around for us. I sighed and flew up in front of him. "I'm right here." I told him. "W-who are you? Are you gonna hurt me?" He asked me, with fear in his voice. I smiled gently at him. "I won't harm you, nor would my companions. I am called Galactic, the one with the demonic wings is called Cosmos, the one with the angelic wings is Shinku, while the one with the raven wings is Karasu. Karasu was the one that found you while Shinku was the one that healed you. I believe that answers your questions right?" I asked him softly. He looked relieved and nodded as my three companions flew up to me. "Y-yeah, it does. I guess that you are the leader?" He asked me quietly. I smiled at him and nodded as he slowly sat on the beanbag chair we had originally placed him on before he woke up. I then felt something shoot past me and noticed blue strings that weren't there a second ago. I turned around and realized that Karasu had collapsed without us realizing it. Blue strings were wrapped around him, preventing and saving him from falling to his death. Shinku rushed to him and immediately picked him up. "Karasu? Karasu?! Are you okay?!" He asked the raven winged skeleton with panic in his voice. "S-shinku? I-I'm fine. Just a bit exhausted." Karasu said weakly, Shinku was relieved and lowered to the ground. "Karasu, next time, please say something so we don't panic." I told him softly. Karasu looked up at me and nodded before he fell asleep.

I smiled at Error as he listened to our story and we did the same for him. He smiled down at us as we were sitting on his lap. This was when he winced in pain and set us on the beanbag chair as he stood up. "Can you guys stay here until I get back?" He asked us. We nodded to him and watched as he left through a portal. The three of us curled around Karasu to keep him warm.

I snapped up, but not waking the others, when I felt a portal open nearby. I looked up and saw Error curled up on the floor with a closing portal above him. I rushed over to him with dark green magic surrounding my hands. "Error! What happened?! Who harmed you?!" I asked him as I healed him. He groaned as he tried to look at me. "G-galactic? Y-your healing m-me?" He asked me. I smiled gently at him. "Of course I am, why wouldn't I. Can you answer this question for me? Who harmed you?" I asked him once again, now that I have his attention. He nodded and sat up once his pain and wounds were gone. "I-it was the Creator." He said shakily. "Galactic? Where did you go?" Cosmos asked. "I'm with Error. And we're all going with him wherever he goes from now on." I told them, leaving no room for argument. They stared at me for a couple of moments before they nodded. "Now then, let's get some sleep so that we're all rested for tomorrow. Okay?" I asked them. They both nodded as me and Cosmos lifted our sleeping companions so Error could sit on the beanbag chair. We set our companions on Error's lap and curled up around them. Error fell asleep first with us not far behind him.
