You need to eat.

I’m fine.

That’s a lie. I think she kept some frozen hot pocket thing in the freezer.

//To make him stop pestering her, Absoleen goes in search of the food. She’s heating it when she yelps, feeling ink spear through her shoulder before the glitchy voice starts.//

[spiritspectres]

I can try to find those two...

Don’t. Let them come when they want.

//There’s movement from above as shadows and a light breeze stir. The twins appear soon after, swooping down to land gracefully.//

We drift around, why?

We were out hunting... What did we miss?

[spiritspectres]

Umm.... can I talk with you two alone? Just for a moment.

Don’t dodge the question. What did we-

//Stirillia shoves his way past Scribe, eyes falling on the descended form of his father. He inhales, the only sound he makes, and Laven chirps softly in concern.//

Almost immediately once Versi utters their names, two tiny beams of light break from her chest, turning into a pair of just born young spirits. They lack the leathery consistency of their parents, mostly covered in beautiful bright scales. Stirilla is a brilliant medium blue while Laven is a deep purple.

Nether stares down at his children, feeling his exhausted mate collapse against him. He can’t form the words to express what is running through his head...

[spiritspectres]

A negativity you are letting yourself drown in!

Stiril... please... ugh my head...

Scribe? What’s wrong?

...if I tell you to run....don’t look back....she’s-

[spiritspectres]

Stirillia, one moment if you would...

Freeing Scribe will not be easy. She will need to fight Absoleen every step of the way. Take it from someone who fell to their personal demons.
