To death. (temporarily closed)

(I know lmaoo)

Nori: chuckles. I’m kidding. I mean you all have mystical magic powers and look like you want to hurt me. That’s why

Corrin: YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD. I COULDN'T HURT YOU ANYMORE EVEN IF I WANTED TO. Which I don't, because that would only make MY job harder.

Nori: stroked his chin. mmmm… I dunno.

Nori: looks at Addic, unimpressed, then takes in a deep breath. EXCUSE ME MISTER I DRINK THIS SHIT AND ALL THE SUDDEN I CAN REVIVE MYSELF AND SOLVE WORLD HUNGER.

Corrin: You dunno about what? My job being HARDER than having to get you two THROUGH ALL YOUR TRAILS AND TO REINCARNATION WITHOUT YOU FADING OR GETTING LOST OR TORTURED OR SOMETHING?
Aethea: to Nori You look weird without wings.

Nori: pointedly ignores Corrin, then looks fearfully at Aethea. I’m… im still sexy though, right??

Aethea: I'M TWELVE AND SPENT MOST OF MY LIFE EITHER IN THE UNDERWORLD SURROUNDED BY DEAD PEOPLE OR DEMONS OR ABOVE, NEARLY BLOWING UP SECTORS OR IN JAIL. YOU THINK I LEARNED TO CARE?

Nori: nods, turning to look at his invisible wings. I’ll take that as a yes

Nori: sighs. I hate tests.

Corrin: I do too. So, what we need to do is-
Aethea: GO TO EUROPE!

Nori: AYO!

Corrin: The Unterworld part of Europe, but yes.
Aethea: AND RIDE A SKELETON TURTLE THAT'S BEEN DEAD FOR LITERALLY A MILLION YEARS TO GET THERE!
Corrin: Yeah, that part's fun.
Corrin: His name's Hsoyw

(that is basically rearranged of the ancient eguptian turtle god/ pet of sobek. don't ask how i know this, i know many random ancient egyptian things. kek means "god of darkness," and i honestly had no idea until a week ago)

(Dang!!! That’s super cool!!)

Nori: shouts at the same level THEN WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR

Aethea: turns to Corrin I would also like to know!
Corrin: Wait, why am I like the designated leader or whatever?
Aethea: Because you're older than me!
Corrin: But you know this place better!
Aethea: Yeah, okay. COME ON, EVERYONE! WE'RE TAKING A GIANT TURTLE TO EUROPE! NOW!

Nori: raises and eyebrow. how old are you Corrin?

Corrin: Depends.
Corrin: Are we counting the years I was dead or are we not?

Nori: …just the… regular… years… that people use…

(gotta go, thought i replied much earlier sorry)

Corrin: Uhh… 16? 17? 17. Yep, because five times is… 85 plus the years of waiting to get reincarnated would be…. 18 more. So I've been ON EARTH for 103 years, but I've only been alive for 17 of them this lifetime and I've been reincarnated five times.
Aethea: YOU'RE OLD.

Nori: in awe. holy… you’re super old!!

Corrin: Technically, I'm 17, but yes.
Aethea: Okay, so to get to the gia nt tiurtle we- Oh, wait. Are we going to Hsoyw or Thsyw?
Corrin: Hsoyw.
Aethea: Okay, clutch your pendant and think the name "Hsoyw" really, extremely hard. Don't pronounce it wrong or you'll go somewhere compLETELY different than your intended destination, and that would be BAD.

Aethea: Okay, he's doing it, I'll take him. You can take Nori since you have to keep up the illusion anyways. grabs Addic's pendant and the both of them seem to just dissolve
Corrin: Welp. Goodbye.

Nori: waves, then spins around to meet Corin. Well, old man, shall we? He smirks, holding out a hand.

Corrin: Old man yourself. I’ve been alive 17 years in this lifetime, which is what normal people count - the years you’ve been alive in your lifetime. I can’t be more than two or three years older than you, which would make YOU an old man. grabs Nori’s pendant as well as his own Make sure to keep thinking the name Hsoyw. they seem to dissolve as well

~

They are now in a port-ish thing. A long line of dead people, demons and banshees waiting to board Hsoyw snakes around a stone tower.
Aethea: Let’s go ride the giant turtle skeleton!
