*Meanwhile, in Lost World...*
Sarah: *asleep in her bed*
C.F: *bursts in*
Sarah: !
C.F: Mom! Dad's not back yet!
Sarah: ...didn't we literally just have a conversation with him about this?
C.F: Yeah, but he said he'd be back soon.
🎶*FLASHBACK* 🎶
B.C: That was... weird.
C.F: DUDE! DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU JUST DID?
B.C: What were those?
C.F: Those. Were wishing orbs.
B.C: *gasp* So is my wish granted?
C.F: I mean, maybe? In a way?
B.C: What do you mean?
C.F: You have to be VERY PRECISE or else it can go awry.
B.C: Oh.
C.F: And I don't think you were precise enough, as dictated by that earthquake.
B.C: You three go out to investigate here, I'll go investigate Sagaverse. Since I was referring to them as well.
C.F: You're just gonna leave us again?
B.C: Don't worry, I'll come back. I won't be very long.
C.F: ...I don't trust that.
B.C: I might stay for a little bit to set some affairs straight if something does happen to be wrong, but I'll return. You have my word.
C.F: ...fine.
*PRESENT*
Sarah: Would he lie to us?
C.F: No. And maybe.
B.D: *steps out of the shadows* He probably deserted us again.
C.F: ACK! DARK, YOU CAN'T KEEP DOING THAT!
B.D: I'll keep doing it for reactions like these.
C.F: -n-
Sarah: Where did he go?
C.F: The place known as Sagaverse.
Sarah: He's... mentioned it.
C.F: You're not seriously thinking...?
Sarah: Yeah. I'mma go there to see what's happened.
C.F: You don't even know how to do that.
B.D: One of us could send you.
C.F: Wh-
B.D: We have roots there. We could find a way.
Sarah: Could you, Dark?
B.D: Yeah.
C.F: o.o?
B.D: It's relatively simple, too.
C.F: Is it?
B.D: Yes. Now listen closely. I might be able to do some shadow shenanigans to get you there.
Sarah: That sounds weird.
B.D: You got a problem?
Sarah: no
B.D: Good. When you wanna come back, fuck you. Dad can bring you back.
C.F: Hey! You can't talk like that to our mom!
B.D: BITE ME.
Sarah: Whatever. Send me.
B.D: Alright. Give me a second.
*B.D raises his arms and the shadows in the room swarm around him, enveloping him*
C.F: ?!
B.D: Buh-bye, Mother.
*B.D points his arms at Sarah and the shadows swarm around HER... and then she's gone.*
C.F: ...WHAT DID YOU D-
*Sagaverse.*
*Sarah appears in a broken house. There's blood on the walls and signs of a struggle.*
Sarah: ...well. This is not what I was expecting.
*Sarah walks around for a little bit and goes onto the roof. There, she finds a puddle of gold on the surface...*
Sarah: Something isn't right here.
*she reaches down and dips her finger in the gold and pulls away from the heat*
Sarah: OW. I don't know what I was expecting.
*she sits and ponders a bit*
Sarah: Yeah... I don't think Burn is safe.
???: Actually, I'm safer than I've ever been.
Sarah: ! *whips around*
B.C: *locks eyes with her*
Sarah: *shakes her head* Burn...?
B.C: Hello, love.
Sarah: What the hell happened to you...?
B.C: Our Lord has blessed me. I feel happy now.
Sarah: You were never religious.
B.C: And what a heresy that was!
Sarah: *grits her teeth* So what do you want?
B.C: Join me in enlightenment.
Sarah: And if I don't?
B.C: Haha... trust me.
*B.C's eyes glow and his grin widens, gold dripping from between his teeth as well*
B.C: You will.
