Northern stood and watched as stairs made of ice stretched into the sky, then saw a red blur rush into it with force.
Then he saw others he recognized begin to jump into the rift too.
This made him turn his eyes to the rift above him. It was silent for now, but undoubtedly something was still inside.
"Mr. Fluffy"
The beast growled in defiance as his name was called. Mr. Fluffy vigorously shook his head, ears falling down and eyes closed away from Northern.
"But I haven't even said anything yet…?"
The beast growled once more and turned away from him.
It was as if he knew what Northern would say at this point.
"Okay, since you are being so stubborn, I won't ask you to stay if you find a way to enter the rift yourself."
The beast's eyes popped wide open with ecstasy.
"Yes, I mean that." Northern looked around.
