Pink Fae: "Ha ha! Little bird's friend went bye-bye!"

Blue Fae: "Now we can be little bird's friend!"

Endymion, in thought: "Fuck. I gotta get to Niixa."

Endymion, in thought: "Niixa will either recognize me with the ring..."

"Or she'll destroy me in a large ball of fire thinking I've stolen it."

Pink Fae: "Little bird found a shiny!"

Endymion, in thought: "Here's to hoping I can fly reasonably well!"

Pink Fae: "Hey! Who said little bird can leave?!"

Blue Fae: "We didn't get to play yet!"
