Falling.

You could barely feel your wings as you continued to fall.

However, you weren't scared.

Oddly enough, the falling was......calming. It offered a sense of serenity.

Besides, the sky seemed endless. 

By the name of our lords, you actually felt tired......

Maybe you could sleep for a bit.

Just for a bit.

Besides, there was no ground in sight.

Just clouds and the sky. 

Surely you can still take a small rest, right?

Just five minutes.

So you closed your eyes, and sighed, the only sound you were able to hear was the sound of your cloak thrashing with the wind, so it was fine.

The sound of your cloak thrashing with the wind soon died down as you kept falling; so it became easier for you to just lull yourself into sleep.

And so you did.

============================================

Zuka was by his truck as always; waiting to see if there were phighters who needed a ride; considering that somehow became his new past-time, so it was pretty much routine for him at this point.

Dropping Rocket off, then waiting in the center of the Crossroads.

Leaning against the side of his truck and adjusting his cap, he scanned the area again, before looking up. It was more of a partially cloudy day, and with no where else to look, of course he'd look at the sky.

Is that a dead crow...?

Spotting a figure literally falling from the sky, at first seemed like a dead crow to him, however, the farther the figure fell, all the more obvious that that figure surely WASN'T a crow.

That  was- ....what WAS that- 

...........what in the name of the deities-

THATS A PERSON--

Alarmed- and not really knowing what else to do, he quickly rushed over t where the area should be- which thank the gods wasn't all too far and--

HOW IS THIS PERSON ALRIGHT??

Of course, he wasn't fast enough to catch you quickly, but when he DID get there, there was a figure wrapped in a cloak, a mask covering one half  of their face, their [ Color ] horns decorated with what looked like a halo? ......do demons have halos?? surely not....

Zuka simply reached over with their one hand, checking if this person was okay- WAS ALIVE- for crying out loud. 

They were falling from the sky just TWO SECONDS AGO- HOW WOULD ANYONE HANDLE THIS?

The one-armed shopkeeper CLEARLY DIDN'T KNOW.

Zuka crouched down to check the person, if they were alive and such.

THANKFULLY, they were.

" What in the name of Inphinity...? "

He grumbled.

Who was this demon? Certainly not one they knew.

Reluctantly, Zuka used whatever Strength he had to pick up and carry this new demon back towards where his Truck should be, leaning them against it.

Should Zuka be concerned?

What kind of a phucking question is that OF COURSE HE SHOULD-

Looking back at the demon who was still unconscious, he simply sighed.

What to do now?

Its not like he can just leave this demon out here, he can't really just take this demon in randomly either.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

"Heeey Zuka!" Boombox's vice rang out as they approached the tired shopkeeper.

Zuka simply huffed and looked over at the younger demon.

"What is it now?"  Zuka said with a small grumble, side-eyeing the younger demon.

"Well I was jus--- hey who's that?" Boombox cut himself off and asked a new question, noticing a demon wrapped in a cloak, slumped against Zuka's truck.

"....Dunno, but they're okay- ....hopefully." Zuka shrugged.

"Did you hit them with your truck!?"

"What- NO??!?"

"Ah."

Looking back at the unconscious demon near Zuka's truck, Boombox skipped over to them and set their uh- boombox on the ground, poking the unconscious demon on the side of their head.

"What the phuck are you doing?" Zuka scoffed at Boombox, swatting the younger demon away. 

" AUWH- "  Boombox groaned. 

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Muffled voices that kept growing louder caught your attention as you start to stir.

You were no longer falling, that's one thing your sure of.

 Its warm....but the cloak wasn't bothering you, so you didn't other taking it off, alongside your mask. 

With a groan, you looked up two the source of the voices.

" Oh thank the deities your alive-- " 

The monochrome one was cut off by the green character with VR-like glasses...?

" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA---------" 

================================================================================

You stayed quiet as you looked around, your surroundings were bright and slightly blurry, but okay enough for you to see whats nearby.

That being two figures looming over you...

Demons-

They were demons.

What the Phuck-

"Oh hey your awake!" The green one said as they picked up the radio thing next to them.

You just looked at them, unsure what to do.

"And your probably scaring them." The monochromatic demon scoffed, looking back at the green one.

You could only look back and forth towards the two demons, completely unsure of what to do

Oh dear gods--

"....h- ...hi..." You croaked, voice quite hoarse.

"You alright kid?" The monochrome demon asked, looking at you with a small frown. "You were falling from the sky and all---"

"THEY FELL FROM THE SKY?! HOW ARE THEY OKAY?!" The green one blurts out, causing you to flinch, jeez....they're pretty loud-

".....I was falling--?" You asked, almost as if you were confused aswell.

I mean- ...what were you going to say-

"Oh hey so a god and their angels decided I should hang out here for a bit" ?! Yeah- NO. 

Keep up an act, [ NAME ] .

"You seriously don't know that?" They asked.

You just shook your head.

"No- ....I just-don't- uhm..." You then realized you had...absolutely no believable lies, no excuses- no nothing.

"....i dont know.." You finally murmur.

"Well worry no longer, I'll be glad to help you!" The green demon says with a wide smile, practically pulling you back onto your feet, causing you to stumble and almost fall, but you caught your footing.

"I- eh--?" You murmur.

"Oh- right. I'm Boombox, that's Zuka, you fell from the sky and I'm gonna help you out and all that stuff!" 

Oh- kay?

"But first! Lets get you to a clinic or something- since you did fall from the sky and such. Oh- hey Zuka can we get a ride there??"

Zuka scoffed, but nods anyway, agreeing with Boombox.

" Fine. "

Was all Zuka said begore reaching into his Hip Bag and taking the keys of his truck out to unlock it.

"Hop in kids." He said with a small sigh ; Heading into the drivers seat.

Boombox follows Zuka, except he sits in the backseat, dragging you along to sit with him.

Now, you weren't an idiot. You knew what a car was, you knew a lot; this place was similar to earth.

What you DIDN'T get is why the demons were eager to help you?

I mean they...quite literally just met you--

The car ride was silent ; ....excluding Boombox's occasional humming I suppose.

Boombox aslo kept asking you questions to which you answered with either a shrug or a small " i dunno... "

Obviously ; you could already tell .... this was going to be one hell of an adjustment.

[ ◇ ]

"Oh Meddy!" Boombox said as he dragged you along and burst down the doors of the clinic you've arrived at.

Meddy? Huh- and you thought the name Boombox was weird.

Whoever Meddy was had their back turned ; only scoffing in return.

"Don't call me that." He said as he turned to you-

Dear lord forgive me for I have sinned--

You stayed quiet and just stared at this 'Meddy' person ; Thankful that your mask was hiding your face and such.

"Who's this?" He asked Boombox bluntly, pointing at you.

"Oh right! Uh- ....you...have a name or something?" Boombox asked as he looked at you.

You just paused for a moment, not sure what to say.

They had fairly odd names, so maybe a small blend in won't hurt?

Eh, screw it.

" [ Y/N ] ..... or uhm- Tessen. Whichever fits.... " You utter.

"Cool name! Anyway- Medkit- uh my buddy [ Y/N ] here fell from the sky according to Zuka and probably needs a check-up or something-" Boombox says as he pushed you forward towards Medkit.

"Wait- wait- fell from where??" Medkit asked, small bewildernment evedident in his expression.

"The sky- they dunno what happened. We asked and they said they had no clue." Boombox shrugged.

You just laughed a bit nervously under  your breath.

" ...yeah...i guess?" You say with an unsure shrug.

Medkit just looked confused at this point, you can't blame him though- I mean if you were in his shoes you'd be too.

"Okay- what- whatever- come on." He shrugged, motioning over to a second room in the clinic.

You followed Medkit to the said room.

==============================

"So you...fell from the sky? How exactly did you get there?" He asled as he turned around to look for something.

" ...'m- not sure- actually...?" You lied.

Medkit just sighed.

"Right. And is there anything you DO remember from before you fell?" He asked, now holding a syringe, crushing a few teal crystals in hand and adding them into the syringe.

You wanted to keep lying; but you didn't have an excuse for everything.

You then looked around- okay your satchel was still in hidden inside of your cloak.

"I uhm..." You began, then took your satchel off; rumaging through it and pulling out one of your two Tessen fans. "....was practicing with these...? Then- ..blacked out- yeah...." You said, showing Medkit the fan again before stuffing it back into your satchel.

"I see." Was all Medkit said as you finished explaining.

"Alright then. Is there anything that feels sore to you, or that hurts?" He questioned as you shrugged.

"...uhm...headache- and I guess my back...?" You murmur.

"You afriad of needles?" He asked as held up the syringe he previously added the crushed crystals into.

==================

[ YES ]

You nod your head and Medkit simply sighed.

Great, another problem to deal with.

Not like he can just forcce feed the crystals to you.

"Just- give me your arm." He said with a small grumble.

You complied ; handing him your ( left/right ) arm.

"Shut your eyes." He said. Again, you complied.

With a sigh Medkit pressed the tip of the syringe near the area of your arm.

"Don't move." He said a bit coldly than before, then he injected the crystal-infused substance into you after lifting the sleeve of your cloak.

============================

[ NO ]

You shake your head. "....not really."

Medkit nods and walks over to you.

"Eh- your sleeve, lift it up- ...please." He requested to which you nod your head to, lifting up the sleeve of your cloak to let Medkit do what he needed to do.

======================================================================

You surprisingly felt a lot better after Medkit gave you that shot. Huh....

You begin to question what those crystals really are capable of. 

If they can heal angels and demons alike ; what else can they heal?

Animals, Insects-

Would it be able to heal other spirits?

Your curiosity on those crystals grew as you kept pondering on the possibilities,  basically staring into nothing. 

Medkit clears his throat, which catches your attention.

"Feeling any better yet?" He asked you, eyeing you up and down as he did.

You nodded.

"Alright." Medkit said with a nod. "You can go now." He said as he motioned to the door of the room.

"Right- right." You murmur, standing up and then leaving; to where Boombox was still there.

"Feeling better yet?" Boombox asled, to which you shrugged and nodded to.

"Great!" He grinned.

He lead you outside, and basically started a small conversation with you.

You then realized you had....absolutely nowhere to go.

The angels surely prepared something for you. Right?

"You okay?" Boombox asked, to which you nodded.

"'m fine; it's okay." You reassured.

"Do you have a place to stay? I mean you....did fall from who knows where and all and stuff."

Boombox asked, to which you replied with a shrug.

"....I'll figure something out..." You said with a tone of uncertainty.

Then Boombox invites you to stay at his place.

"Ah- are you sure?" You utter, still a bit bewildered.

"Its not a problem to me! Besides I have a room I don't even use- and some company would be nice."  Boombox reassured, slinging an arm around your shoulders.

You smile underneath your mask, though quite hidden, Boombox noticed the boost in your mood.

Sure, this may be a careless move, but to him, it's being able to help a probable new friend!

It's a win!!!

" You're merely here to observe, child. "

" Do not fall for tricks these demons may use. "

" Are we clear, child ? "
