After leaving the Abyss, Goldie continued onward with Spinner on their shoulders, venturing further into unexplored territory. The atmosphere was hot again, almost stiflingly so the more they walked. Everywhere they went, there was lava; boiling fiercely under platforms and bridges.

Goldie was starting to slow down a little. The heat seemed to finally be getting to them.

*Spinner rested their head in between Goldie’s horns as they walked, their arms thrown lazily over their shoulders as they felt like they were melting.* “w….when will t-there be no heat…?”

*Spinner stayed by Goldie's side as they slept, still half covered by Goldie's cloak, and still holding their hand. Their wings occasionally chittered as they eventually stirred, their eyes opening to a squint yet they did not get up. They didn't really feel like getting up at the moment.*

Goldie had wandered off for some time already, but now they were finally coming back. They approached the place they last saw Spinner, hoping they were still there where they’d left them.

*Spinner was simply sitting on the ground near the edge of the main plaza of Bellhart, fidgeting with a bell in their claws. They hadn't yet noticed that Goldie returned.*

*Spinner followed Goldie through Far Fields, then to the Deep Docks and down into the enterance of the Abyss.*

*They clung to Goldie's arm once they got to the enterance of the Abyss.* "I-is....really d-dark..." *They said with a small whimper, stepping closer to them.*

*Spinner practically dragged Goldie around Bellhart, exploring it a little and speaking to some pilgrims, once they felt like they had done everything they wandered back to the bench in the center, sitting on it.*

*They stared at the ground, kicking their feet a little as they focused on a stray bell, beginning to get lost in thought.*
