[He could almost taste the salt in the air, feel the blows and the anger. Under it though came the shock, of hearing those words and knowing just how much he meant them, because that was how he always was. The stupid human and his empty smiles and his ridiculous underwear and yet... he felt so grateful.
When the memory let go, he took a deep breath and let it out through his teeth. His eyes opened and that was just in time to see his goat lose its footing and slide down the branch to hit Ankh.
It was an empty office building, the kind of place that had once been promoted to bring more jobs to that area only to fail and slowly crumble to the ground. He was trailing his fingers along the walls, feeling the seeped-in emotions of failure and disappointment and betrayal. There was a death there as well, some businessman unable to cope having hung himself in what had been the boardroom. All of it echoed as he and Amily walked along the empty halls, the years not having dulled any of the emotions buried just within reach.
He let the darkness draw him closer and he found the central point of both the Inga and the building. He pressed his hand against the wall, feeling it throb and glanced over to Amily as he stood back. Her hand rested where his was a moment ago and a pulse of energy leeched out. A blue glyph appeared and circled out and something dark and half-formed fell from it. His lip curled as it stood up on shaky legs then darted to the right. He followed it and watched as it grabbed a homeless person. Latching onto his face, the creature sucked, blackness spreading and growing then turning the human liquid.
Amily touched his shoulder and he pulled away, looking back on the portal. Nothing more was coming through yet, but give it time. The first creature, wearing its human skin was already leaving, so it was time for them to leave as well. Once outside, she created one of her butterflies and set it to watch even as they took to the air. In an hour, there would finally be food for them, but until then they had to wait.]
