Yuke nodded, worried himself. He put a hand on Sorako's shoulder and looked at the dragon. "Um, Mister, my cousin and I have to go, now. We were in trouble back home, so we've gotta go."
Kai pressed her forehead against Hakaru's shoulder. She didn't even hear a single word being said.
Damian held Mina to him, biting his lip as he looked up to his father and uncle, as well, waiting for an answer.
"It's a long story. The short version consists of him being evil, and let's just say he's captured myself and Anya, and tried to kill Jethrow and your mother."

Fester smirked. 'And how will you leave a place with no exit? he asked, since he had immediately sealed the portal once they had entered, cutting them off from the world.
Hakaru held his wife more, stroking her hair softly. "We need to find them. They've got to be in danger because of him..."

Yuke stood on a cliff that he knew wasn't real, looking at an equally unreal ocean. Ever since he and his brother, Sora, had woken up, alone and uncertain of their pasts, in the depths of Fester's world, they'd lived there with the dragon as if he were their father. He'd been harsh, but they'd grown used to it. He refused to tell them anything about their past, which had frankly annoyed Yuke. They didn't know who their parents were, or where they were from. They didn't even know their full names. They'd assumed they were brothers, since they were clearly related. Fester told them their names were Yuke and Sora, saying he'd heard them being called those names.
Kai crossed her arms as she watched the students running out into the gardens, playing games. Yukeolani would be about that age, now. The mermaid always looked tired, now, and it had been a while since she'd smiled or laughed, or frankly done anything cheerful. She was always waiting for her son to run in, but he never did. she couldn't even begin to imagine what he looked like now.
Damian, like his brother, sister-in-law, and wife, was distraught about his son's disappearance. He'd spent a couple of years searching in places that his father told him to, but the combined efforts of everyone at Mesilici did nothing. Sorako and Yukeolani were still missing.

Sora had stayed close to his 'brother' as Fester had raised them to be his star pupils. He had become quite silent. It wasn't that he was mute or afraid, it's how Fester taught him to be. Though he did talk to Yuke behind the dragon's back. To keep himself from losing his voice for good, since he suspected that's what their mentor wanted. "Brother? Are you here?"
Hakaru had not left his wife's side since Yuke's disappearance. She always seemed to be watching the students. He knew she was thinking of their little Yuke. He changed into his fox form and nudged her leg softly. He thought she might want a cuddle from something fuzzy.
Mina had fallen into a sort of depression, like Kai had. She had stopped developing her art all together, having not touched her sketchbooks since. They had been collecting dust on a desk in the corner as the sad little sparrow stared out a window, as if waiting to see her little boy stumble out of the bushes, calling for his mother.

Yuke turned and and nodded to his brother. They didn't smile, as Yuke was sure brothers were supposed to. That had been beaten out of them, literally, at their young age. He put his hands in his pockets and walked towards Sora. "Clearly."
Kai knelt down and pulled her husband, in his fox form, into her arms, burying her face in his fur. She blinked hard, keeping away her tears. Though she was sad every day and missed her son terribly, she hated to see her husband any more depressed than she was. She didn't want to burden him with her sadness, as well.
Damian came into the room and put his hands on his sparrow's shoulders, rubbing them with his thumbs. He'd trained himself not to look to the corner of the room, where those once beautiful and filled sketchbooks sat as a haunting reminder of what had happened. He kissed the top of his wife's head, closing his eyes as he often did and picturing his son. [OOC:] Should we go ahead and invent the female counterparts to Yuke/Sora?

[OOC:] Sure.
Sora nodded some, glancing over his shoulder to make sure Fester wasn't around. The dragon had started to beat him for talking. He sighed some, satisfied at the dragon's absence. "Brother. I found a way out. I found a way out of this crazy place."
Hakaru licked her cheek softly, wanting to comfort her. He whined softly and nestled close.
Mina looked up to her husband and sighed some. She hadn't talked in a while either, but she leaned against her husband, missing their little boy.

Yuke came closer to his brother. "A way out?" It sounded too good to be true. As if the moment they left they would suddenly have a wish to return.
Kai leaned against the wall, running her fingers over Hakaru's fur. "Thanks," she whispered in his ear. She hadn't used her native language since the last time she whispered goodnight into Yuke's sleeping ear.
Damian transformed into fox form, curling up in Mina's lap and resting his head against her stomach. He remembered doing that when she was still pregnant so he could listen to Sorako's heartbeat.
One of the current students of Mesilici looked out among the other students in the garden. She wore gloves over her hands and a hat shoved far over her eyes. People didn't like seeing her eyes; they scared them. She wasn't allowed to take her gloves off, either. It was dangerous. It had taken several years for the Master of the castle, and for the head of the school, Jethrow, to allow her in. Because, unfortunately for her, she was a born necromancer. So, naturally, everyone hated her. Her name was irrelevant, because everyone, even the teachers, just called her Ghost. [OOC:] I couldn't resist the necromancer thing. It was like an animal cracker to a kindergartener.

[OOC:] Can you help me form a girl for Yuke?
Sora nodded some, glancing around more. "We have to hurry. I drugged Father. It won't last long. Come on." he said, lowering his voice before taking off into the landscape which had started to die during their stay, becoming bleak and barren.
Hakaru stayed close to Kai, letting her pet him to her heart's content.
Mina pet Damian softly, remembering the same fond memories as her husband. When Sorako was still in her belly, occasionally giving a light kick or a shift. And Damian transforming to listen to his little heartbeat. It all hurt to remember, causing Mina to start crying again.

[OOC:] Sure. Are you asking because you have absolutely no ideas or because you have ideas that you don't know how to form? (Because I may or may not have ideas.) Yuke's face may not have shown emotion, but his eyes did. He was frightened, excited, proud of his brother, and ready to go all at the same time, and he took off into the barren world after Sora without a moment's hesitation. They'd never seen somewhere aside from this fake world, and he'd always had the pull to see a real ocean. Their father had told him that when he was little, he'd almost drowned and that he should never enter the water again. But Yuke knew in his heart that such things were false.
Kai felt a strange feeling at the back of her mind, like something good was coming. A single tear slipped down her cheek, but it felt different from her usual sad crying. She looked at Hakaru, confused.
Damian sat up, leaning towards Mina and licking away her tears carefully. He rested his fox head against her own, staring into her watery blue eyes. He remembered when they were illuminated with happiness, the days when she could sketch.

[OOC:] I have no ideas...
Sora quickly led his brother to the rip in the dimension he had discovered. "Go on. There isn't much time." he said, glancing in the direction of their den. Fester would be waking soon. And he would be angry that he had been drugged.
Hakaru looked to Kai, licking away the tear before glancing to the window. Was something coming?
Mina hugged Damian's fluffy neck, burying her face in his fur. She Stayed like that for a while, until she sensed something. Something that felt out of place. Something that was.... happy.

Yuke nodded to Sora and grabbed the younger brother's wrist, dragging him through the rip. They tumbled down in blackness, and it was a very disconcerting feeling. When they finally emerged, they were in a temple of some sort, staring at a woman and a man, who looked shocked to see them.
Otosan's jaw literally dropped. There was no mistaking who those two boys were: Yukeolani and Sorako, his great-grandsons. He looked at Kisame, wide-eyed at the miracle that seemed to have just happened. [OOC:] Um, what about a mute girl? Who lost her voice for some reason, but healers can't fix it? And she communicates by sign language?

[OOC:] Perfect!
Sora sat up some and rubbed his head before finding two people staring at him and his brother. Of course all this weirdness paled in comparison to the woman hugging them to death.
"My grandsons! My little boys are back!! Love! Go tell your son-in-law! Quickly! Our little boys have come back!!"
Sora gagged a little, trying to shove the lady off, but she was strong. "I-I don't know you! Please get off!"

Otosan was already gone, using a form of ghostly transportation to appear to Demetri. The wizard was, needlessly, shocked and fell off his chair. "Bring your sons and their wives to the temple," he said happily, before disappearing.
Demetri, not knowing what was going on, quickly found Hakaru, Damian, Mina, and Kai, leading them to the temple, as well as grabbing Lunora from her class as he did this. When they arrived, it seemed they all froze.
Yuke was frightened, and he tried to pull his brother out of the grip of the woman, only to find himself enveloped as well. He looked over as a collection of strange people came in, and he froze. There was no doubt about it, as he looked at them all. At least one set of them had to be his and Sora's parents.
Damian watched as his grandmother hugged his now grown up son to death. He squeezed Mina's hand and started to take hesitant steps. "Grandmother, I think it's time to let him go," he said softly.
Kai's eyes overflowed with tears, and she broke away from the group, pretty much tackling her own son to the ground in a hug. She ran her fingers over his dark red hair, and hugged him again. [OOC:] Happy now! Time to finish my homework on the Nazis!
