the aviary seems pretty popular

[ofthehellguard]

Anyone in or around the aviary may be subjected to a series of loud crashes, accompanied by a shout of alarm and lots of angry tweeting.

One moment Uriel was trying to land on the ground from the open air, and the next there was a roof over her head and a tree in her way. She had simply been going too fast to slow down or avoid it, so down through the branches she went, sending leaves, twigs and birds shooting off in every direction.

Ow.

By stretching her wings Uriel manages to slow her descent before she reaches the ground, though that still leaves her stuck in a tree she'll have to extricate herself from. Only once she's sure she's not going to crash down another few feet by moving does she take a moment to feel relieved.

Now, where is she...?

"Have you been to Luceti?" Grune asks.

She doesn't remember seeing Uriel there, but maybe she was.

oh my god they can do the flys together! once she knows he's not a demon

[ofthehellguard]

"I have never heard of Luceti," Uriel says truthfully. And she's heard of a lot of places. "It is a place where none can leave?"

That would be so great. XD And Mettaton can buzz around their heads.

[lostinmyway]

"Well...Sophie and I used to live there. But almost everyone has gone home now," she explains.

There! Uriel should be able to move a little now.

"We all were brought together to Luceti, the same way we've all been brought together to the castle." She smiles. "I've made so many friends already, and Sophie has, too!"

[lostlegacy]

"Yeah."

Her expression lightens a little at that.

[ofthehellguard]

Uriel flaps a wing experimentally, careful not to hit either of them. She is indeed looser than she was! Maybe she'll be able to get out now.

"So we can leave," Uriel says cautiously.

(Just Grune this time!)

[lostinmyway]

"Mmm.... Someday."

She thinks.

[ofthehellguard]

Someday. Not soon enough.

Uriel wrenches her other wing free and tries to pull them both closer to her body-- might prevent either of them from being too badly caught. "So people from all over Creation have been brought here, and none can leave."

Great.

(And just Grune again!)

[lostinmyway]

Grune smiles and nods. "Yes, that's right!"

She understands! How wonderful!

[ofthehellguard]

Uriel sighs. The Hellguard has now lost two commanders in a hundred years.

"...Make way. I will see if I can get free now."

[lostinmyway]

"All right."

Grune backs up a few steps.

[lostlegacy]

Sophie backs up faster, and runs around to hide behind Grune.

[ofthehellguard]

Once she's sure they're clear, Uriel takes a breath and beats her wings--

and she's free! She lands on the ground before them in a shower of twigs.

"Thank you."

[lostinmyway]

"You're welcome!" Grune beams at her.

[lostlegacy]

Sophie picks a twig from her hair. "Yeah."
