*POOF*
Pet's name: Warden -- The Warlock
Warden: HELLO. YOU MUST BE- *COUGH* *clears throat*... sorry about that, I'm so used to using the boomy voice, hahaha!
Anyway! You must be-... uhhh... fiddlecakes, hold on; Wisp!
The yellow wisp next to Warden clumsily pulls out a letter from... what looks to be thin air??
Warden takes the letter and opens it. He scans the paper quickly with his eyes.
Warden: AHA!
TheShadowReaper! Yes? Nice name, by the way
He gives you a little wink before summoning a ball of energy to his paw and stomping it into the ground. The light from the energy ball stretches out through the ground and forms a large circle with strange symbols on it just behind him. The moment after the symbols form, a party of five creatures fazes into existence within the circle. A teleportation circle??
Pet's name: Ari -- The OG Guardian
Ari: Ah, Warden! You finally found our human's giftee?
Warden: Of course! She gave us instructions on where to find them, after all c:
Pet's name: Ka'azu -- The Fierce Guardian
Pet's name: H.P. Lovecraft -- Literally Cthulhu
Ka'azu and Cthulhu: SHE GAVE YOU INSTRUCTIONS?!
Warden: Uhhh-
Suddenly, what looks to be a barn owl glitches next to Warden and grabs the letter from his paws. The barn owl flies her prize back to Ka'azu and Cthulu, her form stuttering as she does so.
Pet's name: akj;fdkaj;h;oiah;ahf;s; - "Akke"
Akke: h̵͇̤̋̑̅o̵̧̹̲̓ȍ̶̲̜͎̀̿̕t̶̞̞̬̽͐ (
hoot)
Ka'azu and Cthulu glance over the text.
Ka'azu: AGH!! Blasted human!
Cthulu: So all of those 3 hours of searching were a waste of time?!
Warden: You've been searching for 3 hours?
How??
A nervous voice pops up from beside the group.
Pet's name: Wellerman -- The Caretaker
Wellerman: It seems that everyone got too excited and went out searching before our human returned to the trading center, hehe ^^'... sorry, I should've told them to wait...
Ari: It's not your fault, Wellie! You've just returned from escorting A'arys to his place of hibernation; meanwhile, our excitement's been building for a while, haha ^^'
Pet's name: A'arys -- Totally Just a Bear
Wellerman: That is true, I suppose, so... I see... I... guess...
*Awkward silence*
Ari: Sooo-
Ka'azu: For the love of all Lovecraftian horror, just give them the gift already!!
Warden: Patience, fellow Guardian, I must first summon our human. It is only right that she give the gift in person.
Cthulu: Then hurry up and do it! My tentacles are already all shriveled from being out of the water for so long!
Akke: h̴̝̹̉õ̷̢̳̙͔̍̑o̴͖͂͗̈́t̴̮̄́͊̈ (
hoot)
Cthulu: SHUT UP, AKKE!
Wellerman: Guardians, please, we are in the presence of our human's giftee!
gardog (me): And now you are also in the presence of your human.
Gardog stood beside Warden with an icy expression pointing daggers at Cthulu and Ka'azu.
Immediately, all Guardians shrunk down in fear.
gardog: Apologize.
It wasn't a request, but a demand.
Cthulu and Ka'azu both quickly apologize, both to gardog and to you, before Warden stomps his paw on the ground and teleports everyone, except for gardog and himself, away. In their stead, a multitude of pets appear before you and gardog's icy glare turns into a warm smile. Warden teleports away after giving gardog, and the multitudes of pets, a subtle farewell bow.
