reptilian felt hurt. he didn’t want to see the pit go. he felt as though they had just begun to form a friendship. a friendship with a big screaming void in the ground? kind of weird, he acknowledged. but he enjoyed every interaction with that big screaming void in the ground and he didn’t want it to end.

“all good things must come to an end,” fiesta said in an attempt to comfort her conflicted friend. “you heard bell, right? hopefully with all the screams,” she laughed. “we don’t have to hurt it. but all the trapped chicoons need to be saved.”

the pair looked around at everyone taking each others’ hands. fiesta reached for reptilian’s, but he quickly jolted back. then, her whutta tried, being met with the same response.

“it’ll be okay,” she calmly told reptilian. with several tries, the two were able to take gentle hold of his hand.

“i don’t want to do this. please, fiesta.”

she held his hand tighter. “we need to help. we need to help the pit and the chicoons trapped inside it.”

“it’ll be okay,” fiesta repeated as reptilian began to cry.

While it may be going against the wishes of the gods, Vesta saw the pit as something she had formed a friendship with. To her, friends were to be protected, and never betrayed. She apologized to those extending their hands towards her and stepped back from the circle of chicoons, watching to see what would happen. She never really cared for gods, anyways.

Tristan found himself unnerved, seeing so many gods in one place. By defying them so, was he doing a bad thing? He inhaled deeply, before shaking his head. He believed in his answer. He believed in friends. "There has to be another way," he spoke up, his words quieter than he would like. He inhaled deeply, before speaking louder. Trying to gather a confidence which he did not feel.

"They do not deserve to be punished for simply being what they are," he adds. "I know you said this will not hurt them but... it will! Emotionally, it will hurt them to be sealed away from everyone they have tried to befriend, everyone they have tried to make contact out. They have been reaching out to us this whole time... we cannot pay them back like this!" His wings flap rapidly. "Listen they're screaming in pain! There has to be another option! Put a guard by the pit or something! Let us, Pit's friends, keep guard if we must! But I am begging you, let them... let them stay open. They want to make friends. And..."

He sighs softly. "...They are just trying to live, I think. And doesn't every chicoon or sentient pit deserve the chance to live free? If we seal them away like this... we're sentencing someone who is sentient to a lifetime alone. And that... Pit does not deserve that. They deserve... they deserve a chance. Just talk to them, before you do this. Try to... try to find another way. Please. That's all I ask." He bows his head, feeling like both he said too much and not enough.
