FIREBIRD'S REALM - GROUP SIX

((skills are on! please join #chasingthesun if you can!))

When you close the trapdoor, the snakes lose interest and start slithering down again. The gulls squeak in an approving way.

"Please! Let me go! I have to find him--"

[the seagulls are awesome. settling down on the glass panes carefully, opening her hands so the woman is cupped between them]

That's perfectly fine, if it's what you want. But if you don't mind me saying so, you shouldn't go alone since you're so very small. I'll help you look for him.

She climbs cautiously out of your hands, though she doesn't go far, smoothing her skirts. She's trembling a little. "...you'd help me? But why?"

For things like helping someone, I don't need a reason. I want to. Isn't that enough?

"What -- makes you want to? Help is . . . somewhere to start searching from . . . but I need to understand it!"

I don’t know if it’s something I can explain very well. But if I see someone who needs help, who can’t do something on their own, of course I’m going to help them. Because having someone to support you if you’re trying your hardest to reach something is important. Especially if it's not something you think you can do on your own. And sometimes even if it is something you can do on your own...

She's listening intently.

"...all right, I...all right..."

And she reaches a tiny hand out towards yours.

[gently reaches out and takes it]

Besides, if it's both of us together, I'm sure we can find who you're looking for.

"Thank you...you can't stay in this place long, so I have to start out by myself, but -- later, we'll..."

She bursts into flame, not burning you.

[s-startled at first, but since the girl doesn't seem terribly worried about it...it's probably fine???]

I'll--then I'll find you later, for sure! So you don't have to look on your own.

"Thank you."

She seems to separate in two: a tiny, fiery girl who walks away through the gulls and somehow fades as she goes, and a fragment of white stone eggshell that remains in your hand.

[I will keep the eggshell '-' and...presumably if flying still works, try to find a way out]

You fly out; you can see from up here that the room is surrounded by a sea of white fire.

Another rip appears above you, in the distance.

[BUT RIPS ARE UNSAFE]

[but flying up to it anyways]

This one . . . leads out. ♥
