From the sky, both fell to the ground, descending fast. The air felt thick as they fell, folding his wings inward. Miras pointed two of his fingers downwards, then with an arc, he cut the air, releasing a wave of energy that slowed down their fall.
Miras, breathing with a sense of relief, flew both of them down to the ground. "That was close."
Mattias, looking down, grateful, said, "You don't say, we almost died."
Miras, landing them both on the ground, just sat on it and looked up, exhausted. "You have some rotten luck."
Mattias, breathing heavily from exhaustion, just scowled. "Don't blame this on me. You're the one that let me fall in that pit. 'Fight the horrors there,' sound familiar?" he said in a mocking voice.
Miras, turning to the ground, then closed his eyes in defeat.
"We're lost," Miras finally said.
Mattias, laying on the ground and looking to his side, not really surprised, said, "Hey, quick question. What was that 'gate' thing you used?"
Miras just lied down as well and stared up. "Man, where do I start? That was an 'inaugurate.' It's like opening a door to another place."
Mattias, looking up at that, said, "That's really cool."
Miras sighed. "Not really, since I can't control it, so it just dumped us in some random location."
Mattias frowned. "Oh yea, the Primordial Void. What exactly is it? You told me that it's the parallel of my original world, but it's so different I just can't believe that."
Miras smirked at the question. "Getting comfortable, are we? Well, it's like I said, it's just a place made of energy."
Mattias sat up right as Miras spoke. "That doesn't really answer my question, but I guess you don't really know either."
Miras said nothing, then, "I don't really take offence to that. I would probably be dead if I knew."
Mattias looked at him, confused. "What do you mean you would die?"
"I mean I would die, that simple," Miras said.
Mattias, closing his eyes out of skeptic curiosity, said, "How would just knowing something kill you?"
Miras, grinning, continuing to look up, said, "Curiosity killed the cat."
Mattias sighed. "Whatever, that's not our biggest problem right now."
Miras, sitting up right, stretched his arms. "That is right."
Mattias, his head, looked at the surroundings. "Do you have like some horror tracking powers or something?"
"Yea, because all horrors can just find other horrors," Manu replied lightly. "Well, leaving that aside, we should not be too lost."
Mattias, sighing and putting his face to his palm, said, "At least you have a sense of humour now."
"Wait, I just realised something. I have my clothes from when I arrived here, well, the goo just repaired it. But where did you get yours?"
Mattias looked at Miras, waiting for an answer.
Miras just stared at his clothes, looked back at Mattias. "Well, I bought them some way anyone else does."
Mattias, shocked, got excited. "YOU HAVE A CIVILISATION HERE!!!"
Miras, covering his ears, shouted, "STOP SHOUTING!!" Removing his hands from his ears, he sighed. "Well yes, we are not primitive, well, some of us, that is."
Mattias, not shouting now, looked at Miras with sparkling eyes. "So is there one near here? Like one of those civilisations?"
Miras, looking exhausted, looked around. "Beats me, dude."
Mattias, looking behind Miras, noticed a figure running in their direction. "Well, looks like our break is over now," he pointed to a horse-like thing.
Miras, turning behind, didn't answer. Instead, he looked straight into Mattias' eyes. "On a scale of 1-10, how much do you not want to die?"
Mattias just looked at the horror behind him and at Miras. "I really wouldn't want to die again."
Miras grinned at Mattias. "Well, my wings are tired, and I don't think either of us can run."
Mattias just stood there, dumbfounded. "You can't be serious." He waited, hoping Miras was joking, but he just looked to his side. "Oh my, you are serious right now."
The silence that followed wasn't deafening, as the horse horror rushed towards both of them and run straight into the trap dying instantly.
