Blue stumbled a little, but ran at Urraina with his only weapon, his hands, in grabbing position. Urraina dodged, and she attempted to put the seal on Blue's nape as he tried to stop himself from going into the kitchen counter. Instead, she got the crosssection between the wings and the head, where blue couldn't reach unless he tore off his own wings.
With Yggardael and the Saplings...
{I really wonder how the saplings are doing. Haven't visited them in three days.}
The giant-ass tree called Yggardael- {HEY! I know my ass is big but still!}, yes, the giant-ass tree uprooted itself and crawled like a spider to the hill where the Saplings were, to find them interrogating their newfound servants for info.
{What are my little nieces and nephews doing?}
The echoing voice of Yggardael seemed to startle the saplings, as their leaves immediately pointed up and their roots became pointed. Their 'servants' looked around to see a giant, metallic tree with cages in its branches.
{You finally got your first catch, hmm? Well, mind telling me what their names are?}
The saplings looked around to each other, then pointed at Cherni to go first.
*Why me dammit!*
+it's because you got yours first, so why don't you go first?+
The others collectively shook their branches and pushed Cherni to their aunt.
*T-they all go by sans… but uh, mine's called Cross! A mix of two souls, human and monster.*
{Oh! I think I have one of those too! Anyway, tell me where you got them.}
The giant tree then proceeded to bend down one of the branches where a cage was, and there was another Cross inside, but it looked terrified.
"Please… let me out! Help m-". The skeleton was soon cut off by a branch clenching his throat and his soul at the same time.
{Now, now, little ones, this is how you keep your slaves and servants in control! Watch, and you don't need to use your special mark on them in the future.}
The sapling's leaves seemed to sparkle like a young child's eyes, as their branches parted to reveal a gemstone embedded in their upper trunk.
The skeletons looked on in terror, as they never saw beings that collected Sanses like cattle, even showing how to handle them if they go against orders! Their boss never treated them like that… where was their boss, was he taken by the tree? Only Dust was able to ask.
Dust slowly walked up to the tree, every bone in his body was screaming at him to run away, it knew that it couldn't win against that god-thing of a tree.
Just as he was about to talk to them, they said something that made him even more scared than he was already.
{Oh, a leader? You mean a tentacled skeleton, right? I cleaned him, he's currently in the section where I torture the traitor brother. You want to see him, don't you?}
What do they mean, they cleaned him! The other skeletons ran over to have a look as they overheard.
As they ran over, they saw a skeleton with a broken eye socket and teal clothes being lowered by a branch, but he almost had the same look the other skeleton had.
"I-is that nightmare?" asked Dust. He almost couldn't believe it, his boss was cleansed of all the negativity! But, believe it or not, their boss recognized them.
"What? You little idiots, why did you come here!"
Definitely their boss, yep. Only he would speak to them in that way, even the tone of voice that sounded like a middle-aged skeleton was the same.
As Nightmare was let down reluctantly by Yggardael, they said something that shacked him even more than when he was given memories of his boys doing a foursome.
{Oh, the star boys came earlier too! I gave the blue soul to my little assistant as a gift for leading them to me!}
The skeletons turn in surprise as they heard that one tree was able to defeat the guardians of positivity. Of course, they had trapped Nightmare and got rid of his tentacle magic, so they could only imagine this embodiment of a creator's will could be.
{I am not a simple embodiment, little fools, I am a PART of them! One of the eight pieces of my seedmaker, >*_\+={#?!\_[#^_].}
The skeletons had already been shocked quite enough, but they felt like the creator would have been a inter-universal and dimensional being before this.
At the Urraina's villa...
Urraina, finally getting the seal on Blue, was laid face-first on the floor with Blue's neck and back at her chest. She didn't mind since she thought he couldn't feel her melons anyway due to his carapace.
Blue, on the other claw, had a profound increase of heat as he felt the softness of his new "master". Turns out, chitin and exoskeleton can still have nerve receptors. Good to know. Blue tried to lift himself up, but the strain on his newly-developed muscles was too much for his body to handle. In result, he flopped on the ground.
(A/N) Hi guys! Sorry for posting late, I was caught up in reading some smu-I mean, spicy fanfic. Also no motivation. Turns out reading fanfic gives me motivation. Huh.
Anyway, I may or may not end this in 20+ chapters. Hope we get to 30+ chapters!
