Hey, I'm back... uhm, yeah. I'm sorry for the long absence, but I'll try and make more free time too write so please be patient, thanks :)

AAAAND!

Ori wishes you happy Halloween :)

*at the spirit tree*

Sein: "Alright, last bit of information we've been invited to Niwen's Halloween party"

Reem: "Niwen? how are suppose to get there?"

Sein: "uh... by boat"

Reem: "w-what?"

Leru: "isn't that going to take a while?"

Sein: "well, yeah but the party is going to start tomorrow so we'll get there in time if we set sail this noon"

Fil: "so, how many of us are going? and who's going to watch the forest while we're gone?"

Sein: "it's only for 1 day Fil, don't worry! plus Ori here learnt to fast travel between the spirit wells in Niwen and Nibel"

Fil: "fast travel? where did you learn that?"

Ori: clearly thinking about something "well, I learnt it from Opher while I was in Niwen"

Fil: "is, something bothering you, Ori?"

Ori: "... what is halloween?"

Leru: "well, I've heard that it is something that it is a tradition in Niwen"

Sein: "that indeed is true, it's a spooky tradition in Niwen where is to believed that the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred"

Leru: "ooo, interesting"

Spirit tree: "well, now that is settled you all should pack a little food and some water before you go"

Sein: "am I allowed to go too?"

Spirit tree: "why not? a few days couldn't hurt, also how's everyone doing these past days?"

Ilo: "it's been fine, being a teacher is not that bad actually"

Spirit tree: "haha, that's great to hear Ilo PE is pretty important for these little spirits and Reem? hows class B doing?"

Reem: "well, better than class A"

Ilo: "HEY! YOU TAKE THAT BACK!"

Reem: "and what if I don't?"

Ilo: "will stomp you!"

Reem: "try me!"

Nir: "are you for real? class C is doing way better than yours"

Reem & Ilo: "EXCUSE ME?!"

Nir: stick out her tongue

Ilo: "wanna take this outside!?"

Reem & Nir: "ok!"

Ori: grapples the 3 of them "come on, I didn't give you all the skill to use it on each other"

Reem: "tsk... fine"

Ano: "man, you guys need to learn some manners"

Ilo: "shut it..."

Long story short, Ori learnt a few things from Tuley and grew a few small tree's containing the skills he's gathered up from Niwen, baring so much power is tiring so he decided to give some of his skills away to his friends

Sein - Sentry's & Flash
Fil - Spirit arc
Ano - Blaze
Leru - Triple jump
Reem - Spike
Ilo - Spirit smash
Tatsu - Spirit Edge
Nir - Launch
Eki - Swim dash & Burrow
Sol - Spirit star

Tatsu: "so when do we leave again?"

Sein: "in about 2 hours"

Tatsu: "alright then, I going to pack my bundle"

Spirit tree: "you all should pack you're bundles, I'll see you all in a few days"

Everyone: "bai"

*luma pools*

Ori: "hey mom"

Naru: "oh, hello Ori! didn't expect you to come home so soon"

Ori: "oh the meeting went pretty fast, anyways mom, how is Ku doing?"

Naru: "oh, she's with Gumo"

Ori: "what are they doing?"

Naru: "that's a secret"

Ori: "aww! I wanna know!"

Naru: "sorry son, a secret is a secret"

Ori: "aw man..."

Naru: "Ori? where is your bundle?"

Ori: "... what?" he looks around, no sight of his bundle "oh, man... I left it in Nibel"

Naru: "you really should leave you're stuff behind like that, you should go get it"

Ori: "yeah... I'll see you in a bit"

Naru: "of course, see you soon"

*Sunken Glades*

Ori: "phew... there it is" grabs his bundle "now to travel back..."

...

...

...

Ori: "... I exhausted my Light energy, didn't I..."

*with the rest*

Sein: waiting at the shores in her physical body

Ori: "hey Sein" come out from the forest

Sein: "oh, hey... didn't you, well fast travelled to Niwen?"

Ori: "well, yes... but I forgot my bundle and now I am here after exhausting my Light energy"

Sein: "pff... how could someone who saved 2 forests forget his bundle"

Ori: "I don't wanna talk about it... anyways, is that the boat you're going to take to Niwen?"

Sein: "yep, a few of the Gumon's survived the bildness, they were apparently like Gumo, somewhere else in the forest"

Ori: "ooh... interesting, so they build this boat... well ship"

Sein: "yep, they still got their building skills"

Ori: "so... when are the other going to get here"

Sein: "it's only been a hour, so they still have a hour left"

Ori: "oh... so, can I inspect the ship in the mean time?"

Sein: "I haven't seen it either, why not?"

Ori & Sein get on the ship, almost everything was made out of wood, it's looks like a place where you can live

Ori: "whoa, this thing is wobbly"

Sein: "yeah, it needs to stay floating in water"

Ori: "I do know that, but i wished that it wouldn't wobble so much"

Sein: "well, let's see what they did with this ship" walks up to a door "a... toilet?"

Ori: "well, yeah, you don't really need to go the toilet, but the others and I still do"

Sein: "well I suppose, what else do they have" walks up to another door "a bedroom?"

Ori: "well, for anyone who's sleepy I guess"

Sein: "I think the gumons over did this a little bit"

Ori: "let them be, they did a great job building this ship"

Sein: "that is true... but they didn't have to build it quite large like this"

*a while later*

Leru: "hellooo?"

Ori: "hey there"

Leru: "oh, hey Ori! didn't expect to see you here"

Sein: "he forgot his bundle"

Ori: "SEEEIIN!" waving his arms up and down annoyed

Leru: "haha, how could someone who saved 2 forests forget his bundle?"

Sein: "that's exactly what I said"

Ori: "shut iiiiiiit..."

Ilo: "wait he forgot his bundle? what an idoit!... wait, where's my SHI-"

Sein & Leru: "pfffffft, AHAHAHAA!"

Ori: "KARMA!"

Fil: "hey you three, Ori why are you here?"

Ori: "I don't wanna talk about it" sitting in a corner depressed

Fil: "D-DID I SAY SOMETHING WRONG?" Fil looks at Ori worried

Sein: "no, don't worry he just doesn't have enough light energy left to warp all the way to Niwen"

Fil: "phew, I thought it was something I said... wait why does he-"

Sein: "he forgot his bundle"

Fil: "ooooh, wait he forgot his bundle?"

Sein: "yyyyyyyep"

Fil: "how-"

Ori: "shut!"

Fil: "ok"

*a hour later*

they were mid way too Niwen

Ori: about to puke "... so this is why Reem hate riding boats... hurgh-"

Reem: "YEA HURGH-... I hate this" also about to puke

Fil: "never expected the hero to have such a weakness"

Ori: "this is... hurgh-... not funny"

Ilo: *sigh* "be lucky that you don't have a weakness like mine"

Reem: "oh my head... what weakness do you even have then?"

Sein: "he's ticklish"

Ilo: "H-HEY" blushes out of emberrasment

Reem: "oh hoh, this is going to be... hurgh-... never mind, too sick" falls down on the ground

Ori: "... me too... just gotta... lay down" falls face first on the ground

Eki: "you... ok?"

Ori: "Affermative..."

Sol: "I don't really think he's ok"

Eki: "yep, he gets motion sick really fast"

Ori: "..."

Sein: "aw, don't worry! It'll only take 1 more hour"

Ori & Reem: "nnnNOOOOOOO- HURGH"

*at Niwen*

Ori & Reem: "LAND!" jumps down and starts kissing the ground

Tatsu: "what are you 2 doing?"

Leru: "let them be, the finally gotten over their motion sickness"

Tatsu: "oh well"

Mokk the brave: "welcome! to spooky festival"

Sein: "hi, which way do we need to go?"

Mokk the brave: "to go to the forest you'll have to follow me" he started walking

Sein: looks at the others

Everyone: shurgs and follows Mokk the brave

*a few minutes later*

Mokk the brave: "welcome to festival"

Everyone: "whoa"

Mokk the brave: "enjoy the party, spooky house is north"

Reem: "spooky house?"

Mokk the brave: "Naru cook, food at table"

Reem: "FOOD?!" rushes towards the table

Ori: "e-eh!? wait up!" follows Reem

Everyone: slowly follows them

Naru: "welcome! take a bowl"

Reem: "thanks miss!" starts eating/drinking his soup

Ori: "thanks, mom"

Reem: "yo, that's you're mom?"

Ori: "yep"

Reem: "man, wish Sein was like her"

Ori: "pfft... well, it would have been nice if she knew how to cook"

Reem: "Ikr, we could always enjoy food at the meetings"

Sein: standing behind them

Eki: "hey guys! you might wanna turn around"

Reem & Ori: "..?" turns around "... o-oh, h-hey Sein... soup?"

Sein: punches them on the head "that's what you get"

Reem & Ori: "OWW..." start rubbing on the spot she hit them

Sein: "anyways, thanks for the food Naru"

Naru: "heheh, you're welcome! oh, before I forget, Ori be sure to check out the Haunted house"

Ori: "what?"

Naru: "that house there" points towards the broken down house

Ori: "oooohw, alright!" chugs down his soup

Reem: "a competitions?!" starts chugging down his soup too

Ilo: "not faster than me" starts chugging down 2 bowls of soups at the same time

Reem: "?! Naru, can I have 3 more bowls!"

Ilo: "make that 4 for me"

Reem: "oh, it's on"

Ilo: "bring it"

Naru: "ohoho, alright then" brings them both 8 bowls of soup "let's see who's the faster one"

Ilo & Reem: stares at one another

Tatsu: "chug chug chug!"

Nir: "don't encourage them!"

Ilo & Reem: starts chugging their bowls of soups out of existence

Ori: leaves the table "anyone wanna come?"

Fil: "why not?"

Sein: "sure"

Nir: "it's better than with them"

Reem & Ilo: chugging down more soup

The others: "CHUG CHUG CHUG!"

Mokk the brave: "welcome spirits, are you brave enough to enter the house of spookiness"

Ori: "yea! let's go" walks inside without giving a care

Fil: "h-hey, wait up"

Sein & Nir: follows them

Ori: "so what's suppose to happen in these sorts of houses"

Sein: "jump scares, a lot of them"

Nir: "it can't be that bad, I've seen far far worse..." walks against something "ow, keep walking would... ya" staring 2 giant eyes

Ilo & Reem: boh finished their soup "... too... full"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!

Everyone: "what the- what was that"

Nir: rushes out of the house

Everyone: "what happened?!"

Fil: also walks out of the house

Everyone: "Fil?"

Fil: "... I never want to go inside there... again" sits down on the table, sipping on more soup

Everyone: "... what?"

Fil: "sharp teeth... monstrous eyes..."

Everyone: "what?"

Ori: "Gumo!" give him a hug

Gumo: "aww man! why is it so hard to scare you!" (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Ori: "Idk, I don't get scared that fast! oh hello there baur"

Baur: "heheh, hello Ori! I think I scared you're friend"

Ori: "who Fil?"

Baur: "the male one"

Ori: "definitely Fil"

Baur: "hahah, didn't think it would be this fun"

Ku: sneaks up behind Sein

Sein: "it was quite funny seeing how Fil walked away, looked like he pissed his pants"

Ori: "yeah... also I think that's also the first time I heard Nir yell like a girl" jumps off of Gumo

Sein: "yeah, she's always more manlier than a minute ago"

Ku: slightly tap Sein

Sein: "huh?"

Ku: looks Sein in the eyes, her eyes blooming of anger it looked just like her mothers

Sein: "EEEP!" jumps backwards

Ori: catches her "pfffft- AHAHA"

Sein: "t-that wasn't funny!"

Ku: "sorry, had too! was I scary?"

Sein: "YES! VERY SCARY!"

Ku: "anyways, you're just at the beginning! we've planned quite a lot more"

Gumo: "right! you start here at the front entrance, then you go upstairs, after that you go downstairs again and you'll end at the backyard"

Baur: "now go you 2, it's gonna be a lot of fun!"

Ori: "alright!"

Sein: "Ori, you can put me down now"

Ori: "oh! right, sorry"

Sein: "anyways, thanks!'

Gumo: "watch out for spiderwebs, they can get quite annoying"

Ori: "will do" starts walking through the main door

Sein: follows him

Fil: "... can't unsee it..."

Reem: "damn, whatever that house is, they got Fil good"

Ilo: "same goes for Nir"

Nir: "I WASN'T SCARED AT ALL!"

Ilo: "you totally were! we heard you're scream from all the way here!"

Nir: puffs up her cheeks "shut up..."

Sol: "was it scary?"

Nir: "... a little"

Ilo: "I KNEW IT!"

Nir: "SHUT-"

Sein: "hey Ori?"

Ori: "yeah?"

Sein: "did you know what they were panning this?"

Ori: "uuuh, sort of"

crawling noises

Sein: "w-what do you mean by that?" getting a little paranoid

Ori: "well, I knew they were planning something, but not this"

shadows starts shifting a bit

Sein: "h-how?"

Ori: "well, when I got here, Naru told me Ku and Gumo were doing something, but didn't tell me what, but now I know"

Sein: "y-yeah... this place is kind of creeping me out"

Ori: "well well well, the eye of Nibel scared?"

Sein: "s-shut up..."

Ori: "whaaat? it's one of the only times I get to tease you about something"

Sein: "w-well... I guess"

Ori: "SEIN BEHIND YOU?!"

Sein: "WHAT WHAT IS IT?!"

Ori: burst out in laughter

Sein: getting red "n-not funny!"

Ori: "s-sorry, I just had to do it once..."

Sein: puffs up her cheeks "let's just continue"

Ori: "are you mad?"

Sein: "..."

Ori: "oh, come on Sein! it's just a lil joke"

Sein: *sigh* "I guess... but please don't do that again"

Ori: "fine fine, promise"

Sein: "kind of suprised nothing much happened on this floor"

Ori: "oh, a lot happened, this floor it was more in the background like the shadows and stuff moving on it's own" pets a spiderling

Sein: "so... I didn't... hallucinate that" looks towards the end of the hallway

Ori: "nope"

Sein: "h-how are you so calm?"

Ori: "hmmm... let's just say I got used to the darkness" shivers a little

Sein: "heh?" confused

Ori: "long story... let's just go to the backyard" goes down stairs

Sein: "y-yeah..."

Reem: "Fil, care to explain what happened?"

Fil: "do not go in there no matter what" grabs Reem by his shoulders

Reem: "whoa dude, it cannot be that bad"

Fil: "you don't want too see what I saw..."

Reem: "Fil, buddy, pal, friend, tell me, what did you see?"

Fil: "... I... go look for yourself..."

Leru: "whatever he saw must have scared him for life..."

Reem: "yeah..."

Ori: "this wasn't too bad"

Sein: "say for yourself..."

Gumo: "BOO!"

Sein & Ori: "AAH!" hugs each other

Gumo: "... OH COME ON, WHY DID THAT GET YOU!?"

Ori: "Idk... I guess I didn't expect the expected"

Gumo: "... that doesn't make any sense"

Ku: "you scared Ori?! NOT FAIR!"

Gumo: "too bad! I won the bet, hahah!"

Ku: "hmpf..."

Ori: "well I guess, that was it?"

Gumo: "oh nonono, there is one final thing! all you have to do is go into the backyard"

Ori: "alright... Sein you can let go now"

Sein: "oh, yeah" unhugs Ori

Ori & Sein: walks into the backyard

Gumo: places his hand on a lever

Ori: "so... what's the last thing? oh hey Fil!"

Fil: still in a traumatized state

Reem: "he's going to be ok, don't worry!"

Leru: "did you two have fun?"

Ori: "I had, Sein was most of the time scared"

Sein: smacks him on the head

Ori: "OW! what was that for?!"

Gumo: "have fun!" pushes the lever

Ori: "what- OH CRA-"

Sein: "wha- AAAAH!"

Ori & Sein: land on a minecart

Sein: "w-what is this?!"

Gumo: "hmm, needs more darkness" pulls the lever back

Sein: "O-Ori, I c-can't see much"

Ori: "hm, me neither"

Sein: "I-I'm kinda" the minecart starts moving

Ori: "whoa... wait, is that a portal?"

Sein: "i-it is..." teleports them on to a mountain

Ori: "w-why are we at Niwen's spirit treeeee THAT'S A BIG DROP"

Seir: "oh hello Sein, Ori! have fun" activates the powered rail

Sein: "S-Seir? what are you- AAAAAAH"

Ori: "OH GOD"

Seir: "PFFFT, DID YOU SEE THEIR FACES AHAHAHAAA!"

Niwen's spirit tree: "yes, I admit it was quite funny"

Sein: "ORIII! WHAT IS THIS" hugging him very hard

Ori: "Sein... I"

Sein: "w-what?"

Ori: "feel sick-" trying to hold in his puke

Sein: "m-m-motion sickness?! n-not now!"

The minecart starts making fast curves and one loop after the looping there was another portal, after they entered the portal the minecart lost most of it's momentum

Sein: "AAAaaah? phew..."

Ori: laying in his seat half dead

Leru: "... heh, cute"

Sein: "eep!" let's go of Ori "i-it's not what it looks like"

Leru: "what they all say~"

Everyone except Fil: bursting out of laughter

Sein: "w-what so funny?"

Reem: "y-you guys photo, ohohoh... it's I can't" dying from laughter

Sein: looks at the photo it was her scared for life hugging Ori while he was there half dead

Sol: "man, that's just too cute and funny"

Sein: starting to blush "sh-shut up..."

Naru: "oh, I need this photo somewhere around my house!"

Sein: "N-Naru?!"

Naru: "well hello Sein, anyways, who also wanna try out the haunted house?"

Reem: "nah"

Ilo: "what you scared?"

Reem: "no, it's just"

Ilo: "scaredy-cat!'

Reem: "oh, now you've done!" starts walking towards the haunted house

Ilo: "pfft! it couldn't be that scary, huh? scaredy-cat?"

Reem: "I'll show you, you little-"

They entered the house

Reem & Ilo: "whoa, it's kind of dark-"

Ku: in the very dark corner looking at them first eyes filled with rage

Baur: next to her grinning with his sharp teeth

Gumo: next to Baur eyes glowing an intense red color

Reem & Ilo: "..."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!"

Nir: "what the-"

a new photo pops out of the machine and shows Ilo & Reem hugging each other scared of life
