Daisuke had been unable to contact Ken all day. No message, not even a read. And, while everyone seemed to think that Ken just wanted some space, they had a little concern.
It was only at night, under the full moon that Daisuke found his Jogress partner sitting under a tree, not far from his apartment in Tamachi. His eyes calm while his hands move over something as if petting air.
āI am, why do you ask?ā
Ken seemed to wake up from his possible trance and focus and look up at the sky with some alarmed blue eyes.Ā āOh- Iām sorry! I didnāt know it got so late. He was lonely you see, and is very gentle. Donāt be afraid of him.ā
Daisuke was confused as he stared as Ken got up and his hands stroked over something that he just couldnāt see no matter how much he tried to.Ā āUm, no, I donāt see. Is.. um something with you?ā A digimon maybe? Veemon looked to much to Daisukeās worry. What did his partner see that Ken couldnāt. Wormmon was as silent but seemed to look past Ken.Ā āWhat is it?ā
ā... Oh.ā Ken answered as if that solved every question. Ken moved his hands away and allowed his arms to rest,Ā āI must go, but youāre welcome to stay around here here if you want to.ā He smiled gently at the unseen creature.
āIām sorry I worried you, I had no idea that time got away from me.ā
āUh, yeah. What were you looking at.ā
āItās hard to explain. He looks like a skeletal horse, eyes milky white, wings like of a bat..ā
āSounds, but they are quite gentle. Just misunderstood.ā He looks back, and saw what Daisuke could never see, Ken hoped at least, the skeletal black Thestral that looked back at Ken, the same one he had seen from the day he witnessed his older brotherās death.Ā āThey are only seen by those who have seen..Ā death..ā
