Calder was flying around, only to run into a sky island, it was composed of normal grass, no hollow or corruption around unless you counted the ground below. He landed on the building on the island, eyes examining the golden, and blue building. It looked like it had been built onto, perhaps by a terrarian, but no one was around. He felt a little mentally exhausted after Relo explained that terrible event, that made him fearful of humans, despite their small size, they were able to harm such a big creature. He felt bad, but at the same time, Relo seemed happier this way, and it was evident not many terrarians were afraid of the big guy, he was smaller than most of his kind, and lacked the vicious tendencies.
"Heh, he's nice, so much unlike the rest of us at times, but you can't blame us we are only doing what we can to keep ourselves alive. However, it's clear his destiny perhaps wants something else, after all, one of us would not be that nice without some drawback. They didn't put tubes in him for no reason, perhaps something was special about the process, he has so much untapped power other than his own soul, how has he not caught on yet?" Calder asked himself, unsure about Relo.
He sighed, he was alone again with only his own voice to comfort him until he heard a voice above him. "Hello?" It asked, a swooping noise above him.
He looked up to see a wyvern, except it, was gray instead of white, normally all wyverns here were white, so something must have happened to this one. "Hello there!" He responded, smiling at the fluffy creature.
"Oh, you must be that Duke Fishron Relo has been talking about, strange how excited he seems, perhaps he has hope for you. Anyways, I'm Aero, another member of Relo's little friend group." He told Calder, smiling.
"Oh, nice to meet you Aero! My name's Calder if he didn't tell you that already." Calder told him, smiling at the new friend.
"Well, he did, but I preferred to meet you in person really, after all, you must be curious how a wyvern ended up gray instead of white," Aero told him, looking at him.
"Uh, yeah, how did that happen?" He asked the wyvern curiously.
"Well, as a young wyvern I had an encounter with the corruption, and as young ones, my species are quite impressionable with their fur color. My fur began to change colors, it is actually a light purple-grey if you pay attention, after that it never went back to being white, and it had been this way ever since." Aero told him, his tail wrapping around himself when he landed to sit on the island.
"So is the Corruption bad or good?" He asked, kinda confused.
"It can be good, and can be bad, it is the same with the Hallow, despite most thinking that the Hallow is better, you should see what is really wrong with creatures from there, not all of them are okay, but some of the are." He told the Duke Fishron, reminding him of how the bosses he had met so far were.
Calder frowned, but nodded, he was right. Monsters were just like people in that aspect, some were bad, some were good. Most only fought for their own protection, and out of fear because of how they are often treated. He thought back to Relo, banished from his home at such a young age he had to be terrified, and possibly even more defensive than ever. He sort of felt that way, as being younger made him feel weaker, despite his big size, and fearsome fighting style.
Perhaps if he knew more about the whole situation with Relo, he would know more about how he felt, or what happened. He was awfully curious, and really wanted to know what happened that night, so he said bye to Aero, and flew back to the town. Peeking into the destroyed building, it was late at night now, but what he saw was a set of two red eyes. It was a wraith holding a book, and staring at it with what seemed like sadness. A wraith sad?
That was a new one, perhaps they were someone who worked in the lab. It noticed him, but instead, it showed him the book, it was a journal, but he noticed a name at the bottom of the first page. 'Able' was firmly printed on it, and he looked at the wraith who pointed at it and then to itself. This was Able?! he turned into a wraith?!
He didn't seem vengeful, but he wanted him to read the journal so he did, curious to see what the researcher had written down.
