End of life.

[Armalite_]

"This is new..." Spike said, standing in the unfamiliar forest, oblivious as to how he got there. He looked around and spotted his skateboard lying in the grass. He walked over and picked it up, hearing voices, he stopped and listened. He slowly picked up his board and looked through the trees at the small group gathered in a circle. He shrugged, "maybe they can direct me to the nearest pit stop." He walked through the trees, jumping down a small incline and began to approach the group.

[Xleena]

   The guardian of Folen walked silently in a realm of white, its long and uncountable arms waving lazily behind it. It had enjoyed its encounter with the Folen inhabitants, a rare opportunity where spirits have the brains to call out to it.
   The whiteness shuddered like a ripple in water to its right, giving birth to an ocean blue creature, only 5 foot tall, with four white, feathery wings (which were the same size as it), teal eyes and huge golden claws.This one however, looked more female than anything, with long streaks of blue chord-like hair, separated with odd golden coloured beads. It stared blankly at the Folen guardian for a moment and continued to walk with it in silence.
   The empty ground beneath them also began to ripple, and from it silently spewed a 15 foot guardian (6 foot taller than the Folen guardian) who was coloured crimson red, with white freckles which were shaped like shards of glass all over its body.  It had thorns that were jutting out of its legs which would appear as if they were painful, but were indeed not. His wings looked like a simple material with tatters and were completely black. He nodded politely down towards the other two and walked with them in silence.
   To the Folen guardians left, again the nothingness rippled, and out spawned a guardian, 6 foot tall, with normal body statures, except being completely white. The only other colouring (or not) was its jet black eyes. The majority of its face was covered in a veil, which was a very light grey, so much so it was almost indistinguishable from the white, making it look like it had no facial features. Its feet were pointed like it was wearing flat boots and its wings were like long bike spokes, silver in colouring and looked completely useless in flight.

'So you wanted us to meet Jensuno?' Asked the blue guardian in a light, dreamy voice.

'Indeed, I feel like we have much to talk about.' the Folen guardian (Jensuno) replied with an unnerving grin.

'I believe I already know what you're wishing to discuss with us... we all are.' The red guardian snorted.

'So that means that you want this to happen too Feren...?' Jensuno asked in a unusually polite way.

Feren nodded, 'I believe both Sicklo and I wish for your plan to go ahead.'

The white guardian nodded soundlessly.

The blue guardian however looked troubled. 'Do you not realise how almost impossible this is, and what will happen if we don't succeed?!'

Jensuno smiled as one of its arms reached out and stroked 'her' face softly. 'My dear Renkako, the last thing I want is to see you harmed... thats why I know this will work.'

Renkako Shrugged its arm off 'her' face and said rather unimpressed 'So are you going to tell us how this is gonna work or not?!'

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Rigor shuddered at a gust of wind that seemed to come from nowhere. The flaps of webbing on her back whipping wildly around her. She looked to Mask when he commented about her appearance. "It is rather odd.. I won't lie." The landscape was still as barren with that beautiful night sky above. "So this is what forever's like.. I never pictured it to be like this.." Her voice seemed to drift off along with her mind. "I'd always pictured it ending.. Or nicer. Not this barren. Surely there must be others if I'm here.. It wouldn't make sense for just two of us to be here. It wouldn't. What if there's no end to this place?" Her voice turned somewhat hostile, "Do we just keep blinking over the landscape for eternity? I want to believe I'm dreaming." She squatted down and grabbed at her head, her hand finding something attached.. Her eyes grew wide as she pulled it off and took a closer look at the object.. It was a paper pumpkin mask with an elastic string stapled to it. Why hadn't she noticed it before? Her golden eyes grew wide and she looked up to Mask as if expecting an answer.

Spike waved before he spoke. "Hey, what's up guys? Umm...Sorry to disrupt your whole group thing but I'ma in a bit of a jam. See, I can't remember how I got here and I sorta got to get home before mom freaks so can any of you tell me where I am and where the closest bus stop is?" He asked once he reached the group. He looked at each person sitting in the circle, tapping his board against the tip of his shoe as he held it in his right hand.

[Xleena]

Xleena stared at the newcomer in disbelief. Where are all these people coming from?! She thought wildly, and hasn't this guy realised the significant change in the environment?! Feeling a bit awkward she replied 'I'm sorry...but you're kinda dead.'

[KittKat chunky~]

*kitt nodded looking up, he didnt say a word as he watched the newcomers reaction*

[Armalite_]

Spike raised one of his eyebrows then laughed. "Ok. Where's the bus?"

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

"Yeah, you're dead." Jaida stated, not actually looking at the newest newcomer. "We all are." She made a gesture to the whole group with her right paw. "Your mom might freak, but it'll be because she lost her son, not because he wasn't home on time. You're in the afterlife. This is no joke."
She was still kneeling in the grass next to Vosur when she looked over at Jay. "And I died...well...I don't know exactly how. I do remember that I was out walking in a park and a guy came up to me and asked for my help. He said that his friend was hurt in the woods. I help...helped...people whenever I could so I followed him. Then I was hit in the head with something. Knocked unconscious." She shook slightly and leaned back so she was now sitting. "I don't want to even think about what was done with me after that. But I was obviously killed at some point and I was unconscious for it so I felt nothing."
She hugged her legs against her chest. She felt so insecure now. So many people around her that she didn't know and more kept appearing. She didn't like being alone but she didn't like having a lot of people around her either. Somehow she felt like something was going to happen to her if she stayed like this, but she didn't know what or if she wanted to find out.

[Armalite_]

Spike's jaw won the race to the ground before his board did, dropping out of his hand. "I'm dead?...And you guys are dead too?...Then that means..." Spike wasn't feeling so well, he slowly began to sway before he fell flat on his face.

[JellyMuffins]

Jay shoots up from his sitting position and rushes over to the collapsed fox. Checking him over quickly, he looks up grinning at the rest of the group, "I've never seen anyone faint from surprise before!" he laughs, not having to worry about the fox's health too much... they were already dead. He pats the unconcious fox's head once before collapsing into a burst of laughter, "Hahaha! 'Where's the bus?!'" He can't help himself, that statement had been hysterical... at least to him.

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Asia crawled over to the unconcious skater, grabbing him by the fur he pulled him onto his back, facing the sky. The rabbit turned about and lay on his own back with his head resting next to Spike's.

Asia fell asleep.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Mask tilted his head to the left. "There are other things we can do, but I can't take my mask off, and I don't think we should start that since we only just met" He said with a grin before actually answering her question. "As I said earlier, you're the only thing I've run into that actually has a face, and the ones without faces are not exactly friendly" He blinked to another moving rock before answering her other question. "There is an end, but its a solid barrier that sends objects bouncing backwards, however..." his tone soon became somewhat grand, like that of a sage explaining the world around him. "There might be a gate that could take us out of this realm, since all entrances can be used as exits in the right hands" Mask stumbled a bit and his tone went away "Sorry, I blacked out for a second, I can't get past the barrier, so I don't know a way out... so I figured I start searching"

[JellyMuffins]

Jay looks around the group questioningly, "Do you guys get the feeling that this asn't all there is to the afterlife? I mean, if everyone who died were to come here, wouldn't it be a little more... crowded? This must be like... limbo, or something. And that means that there must be a kindof heaven!" The rabbit is extremeley excited by this prospect, "Maybe there are guides in this dimension, we should try and find out if there are any other afterlives." He asks if there are any 'sprits' or 'divine beings' around, having missed the meeting with the Folen spirit.

[Vosur Aekira]

Vosur carefully rose to his feet and brushed himself off calmly. In reply to Jaida's story on her death, he spoke to her: "Can't say mine was any better. Came back from mourning the loss of the ones who owned those names I told you... only to not pay enough attention to the work I was about to do and get myself electrocuted. Since I worked on everything alone, no one was around to help me." He made sure that no grass was stuck between any of his joints or seals in his legs before pacing about a few steps upon hearing Jay's last words pertaining to the afterlife. "Looks like I'll have my chance to join them..." he thought out-loud before taking off away from the group in a sprint.

[Xleena]

Jensuno paused for a brief moment, looking at its other allies. 'As you all know, we're constantly buried in the cores of our realms, proving of no significance, when we have the potential to lead our diminished spirits well, and give them all the answers required. However, we are treated like lowly gatekeepers, even though we created the realms, and our mother sits on her throne, watching over her entire domain with the complete power over death. How is this fair you ask?' Jensuno paused for a slightly dramatic effect, 'I believe that it isn't, we all believe this.'

Feren retorted 'Aye, I do not wish to be buried beneath my realm no longer!!'

Sicklo nodded, with a slight more ferocity.

Renkako looked down and mumbled 'That may be so... but she is our mother. Obviously her decision's best?'

Jensuno smirked as he wrapped his many arms around her and pulled her close to it (the height difference makes this look rather amusing) 'But my darling Renkako, do you just want to mean nothing for all eternity? A beautiful divinity like you shouldn't be cooped up in the core of your realm, all...lonely-like...' Sicklo and Feren looked away, slightly embarrassed.

Renkako flexed her wings, loosening Jensuno's grip and pushed herself away, looking away from his eyes. 'But don't you think a rebellion is a bit much??' She inquired, with a slightly miffed tone.

Jensuno smiled, 'Well not really... shes too old to take care of things herself, and this will show that.'

Sicklo looked up at Feren and then looked at Jensuno. 'Ahh.. well of course I know that the furs coming from Feren's realm are quite...disturbing. But the outweigh of the rest of the realms will keep this in check, just for enough time to frighten mother into allowing us segregated powers...'

Renkako retaliated 'But then wouldn't that mean that if the spirits do get hostile, that could possibly mean that when the ones from Heno do get killed off, then that will make Feren's realm obsolete?! It would also mean an overpopulous of Sicklo's realm. You know how difficult it is to return to their normal realms once stuck there, and if they stay too long, they'll become faceless and will have no chance getting back!'

Jensuno chortled and was about to reply, but Feren raised his hand to silence him and replied 'Don't you think we knew that? I've created a 'disease' as such, which I have given to one of my newest Heno arrivals, and when the gates are unlocked, then he will be able to spread the disease, allowing him protection, or any other Heno resident. You see, the disease works as a controlling mechanism, anyone who is infected is controlled by the carrier for a short time, this may allow escape for a Heno resident if they are outnumbered.'

'Good eh?...' Jensuno said smugly.
