Alright just to be clear, I don't approve of suicide or anything (not that anyone said I do) and I wish no disrespect to the people who chose to end their lives in the Aokigahara, I'm just giving a Sanctuary reason for it. Also the reason why the leader of the Yuri speaks strangely is because he is one of the oldest, and he doesn't speak modern Japanese well, so his verb and noun usage is strange
Magnus walked behind the transparent figure which was hovering a centimeter above the ground feet barely touching and making the softest of noises as it touched the leaves. A question continued to nag at her as she followed cautiously behind. "Why do you kill those people, the ones who hang themselves?" The abnormal tensed. "We do not. Others who exist here may, but not us" Magnus nodded watching the creature in front of her to try to gauge it's reaction. "I thought that Yuri were dangerous, the souls of those forgotten and left to die, out for revenge." The creature turned in one single, unnatural movement to look her directly in the eye. "It is true that the Yuri have no good will towards humanity and those who left us behind, but we neither go and seek them out for our revenge. In death we have found a kinship and peace that we never had in life, that is why they come here, because they have been left behind, but they must find their own deaths. As Yuri, they are not alone, we share each others joy and each others pain. Our kinship is our torment, and our retribution. We simply wish for none to bother us." It turned back and began walking forward. It was understandable, They felt that they were misfits, so they sought the company of each other through a psychic connection. This could draw others who felt the same to come here. However the notion of less friendly abnormals living in the forest was troubling. The abnormal stopped in front of a cave formation, and turned "This as far as I can take you. This is a place where I can not enter." It looked at the place where Magnus had stowed the thermos. "You may need that, but do not let the other out" Magnus nodded, and the abnormal began to turn but called over it's shoulder. "You may want to... ah how do the English say... Button up" Then the abnormal simply disappeared. Magnus turned on her flashlight and walked began to climb down, deeper and deeper into the cold, dark cave.
The abnormal's bite was taking it's toll, the venom slowly working it's way through his system, eating at the ectoplasm in his veins. For a human this wouldn't be a problem, everyone has a small amount of ectoplasm in their blood, on their clothes, in the keratin in their hair and in their fingernails like the evidence of arsenic poisoning, few people don't , most of them had serious illnesses when they were young, and were treated with incredible care and isolated from many of the things that most children are exposed to when they are young. One of these things, being ghosts. Ghosts are all around us, it doesn't matter if they can been seen, some ghosts are never seen. But the feeling you get, like when you're alone but you swear that someone JUST walked past, or the feeling like someone just walked over your grave. Each time you breathe you take in a little bit of ectoplasm, and it doesn't do anything, So the venom doesn't affect you much, but for a half ghost, whose ectoplasm is apart of his DNA, major organs, blood and brain cells, the venom is deadly, but it's progress is slower then it is for a ghost. So He had the pleasure of feeling it burn in his system, and in the twilight of sedatives in his system he couldn't even scream.
As Magnus went deeper into the cavern she could feel the chill growing, so she cautiously pulled he coat closer to her body. She was also aware of a faint green glow growing brighter, until the flashlight was unnecessary. The source was a shifting green portion of the cavern, Like something that was just a little further, but just out of reach. It was so cold here that Magnus could see her breath fogging up and there was ice on the walls. She hesitated on the edge that separated the shifting green and the real solid rock. What was decidedly real, and what was unknown. Then she stepped through
She felt a slight twinge as she stepped through, and then she heard a crunch as she stepped onto frozen snow. The wind was harsh and unyielding here and snow seemed to be constantly falling. She stuck her hands into her pockets, mouth open in an expression that she so rarely used. The sky was not blue, but a swirling mix of green and purple, and more incredible where the doors and rock formations that floated in them.
Magnus was so awestruck, that she almost didn't notice the big furry creature walking towards her. The intial instinct was to run, but the creature raised it's great paw in greeting. "Hail human!" As it got closer it reminded her of a yeti, a docile and intelligent abnormal, a relative of bigfoot's people.
She gave a gentle smile as it got closer. "What brings you to the far frozen, Are you lost?"
She looked at the abnormal for a few minutes, taking in it's many features, and she tried to think of how to word her reply. "I run a place where unusual beings like your kind can find treatment, and a safe haven" The creature chortled at that. "I doubt that, my kind hasn't stepped foot in the human realm for centuries, and our race is one that humans would rather kill than help." Magnus considered it for a moment "We have a boy, He isn't a full-"
The creature smiled gently, sympathetically. "I believe ghost is the word you are looking for, Humans seem to have trouble using that word. Our existence is one that is hard to comprehend." Magnus nodded and continued "Well, I've never treated a ghost before, but He isn't like the yuri, and he isn't like you, but I think that he has ghost" She mentally winced at that word "blood somewhere in his ancestry" The "ghost"'s face crumpled in confusion. "That is impossible, we can not have children, at least not with humans. A half ghost-" It's eyes widened as the penny dropped "Is this half ghost a boy or a man?" "I said boy didn't I?" The ghost's eyes got even bigger "This is monumentous news, Our leader will wish to speak to you, do you have the boy nearby?" She shook her head. "He's at my facility, he's in stable condition but-" The ghost stopped her with a gesture "I will take you to Frost Bite, he is our chief, if you need anything, you'll need to speak to him, when we are there we will give you warmer clothing and you can tell us of how you came upon the great one."
Magnus arrived at the Sanctuary a few hours later, although she said she had to keep her mouth shut about where she got it, she had an antidote. Though one thing that the- she still had trouble using that word- ghost had said about the abnormal was that when it was hunting ghosts it would go days without regular prey, but after it's failed and the ghost escapes, it should go back to hunting normal prey. the only reason why the ammut under her care would be refusing to eat, would be if it was still hunting.
