It didn’t matter what area he would have found himself in, he would’ve gladly looked around until his feet fell off. He couldn’t explain why, but he possessed an intense curiosity that caused him to take in as much detail as he could. Whether it be the actual buildings itself or the people around him, Ikait wanted to observe everything and anything. While the other shadows quickly passed by him, he opted to walk at a much more leisurely pace as he took in the rundown buildings. They spoke of hidden stories that he could only pretend to piece together. Moments of families dining together or of a society that loved this or hated that. The endless possibilities fascinated him. But what delighted him the most were the brief displays of light. Unlike his own core, which glowed a dim gold, the lights scattered throughout the ruined city glowed deep red. He wondered where the light came from and why it glowed and what exactly did the lights mean. Questions filled his mind as he strolled around.
But gradually, as he entered deeper and deeper of what appeared to be a subway station, the lights began to fade out. Slowly, darkness consumed everything, save for the light of the candidates’ cores. A curious Ikait continued to walk regardless. Perhaps he would find something interesting. Indeed, he encountered a pair of glowing eyes. He tilted his head curiously, and as the shadows receded, gazed upon the goddess. “Ah.”
Curiouser and curiouser. He approached her cautiously. The shadows swallowed him up readily. It was startling, confusing. What was…? Ikait wanted to curl up into a ball, shut his eyes, but he forced them open. Even as he shuddered from the cold and choked on fear. He could feel his hands covering his mouth as he tried not to scream. But he relaxed when he felt the brush of the goddess’s wings. He sighed.

Ah, another one! They did seem to like bunching in groups...Handy! Omega grabbed another in hopes of being praised once more.
"--my, you're too cu--"
Too what now? Was that good or bad? Come back??
It was then that Omega noticed there was...oh wow. Oh wow. "I-Is that a goddess?" she asked one who had just received her blessing, a rather long-haired thing who looked terribly at peace.

And as the goddess seemed to move away, distracted with all those so curious who came to her, he felt the memory slip further, back to the darkness from whence it came. Certainly, it wasn't so important, rather... the commands of their savior, protector seemed far more pressing.
The fragments, he hadn't yet finished with that... had he? He moved away from the mass, in some way wanting to avoid the questions that still nagged. Even as the last few remnants of the memory seemed to be vanishing away. Had that figure, the ghostly one he couldn't quite make out, well had they been the family the fragments spoke of? He had to wonder a bit, but... it wasn't like these had to do with him. Right? Then again, the goddess had said...
"Are you but a piece of myself?" He quietly said, speaking to none aside from himself as he lightly caught a fragment that was passing by. Instantly he was bombarded with more words, words that were as disjointed as usual.
"I suppose we could go to eyescream after." Wait... what? His own voice again, but who was he speaking to? After what? It had to be that other self, the one he was never meant to be. Obviously this was all some terrible mockery if it was reminding him of things he shouldn't be. This, most certainly, had to be why the goddess wanted them collected and out of the way. The fragments had to be speaking of lies.

Once more she tries to get next to her goddess only to rebuffed. The questions are insistent and buzzing in her head, but she will not be deterred. As she feels the tiniest brush of the wings once more she backs up and looks for another way to get closer to her goddess.

The memory of her birth disappeared, but the knowledge of wanting to know more didn't. The voices called out more to her and her tiny hand grasped on another fragment.
"Because we're best friends! That's what we do..."
Best friends? With who? Why?
She needed to know. Where and Why and Who? more and more would make sense to her!

Ihram did not hesitate to approach the goddess when she made her presence known. There were so many questions to ask of her now. Why, his golden heart almost seemed to flicker a little brighter at the idea of it. "Goddess, I-"
The darkness descended upon him swiftly and suddenly. No sight, no sound. A nothingness that was at once familiar and unfamiliar. Safe. And then in a single moment that same darkness became harsh and stinging. He tried to raise his voice, but all that came out was a strangled cry devoid of words. There were voices speaking around him, muffled as if from far off, or beyond a veil. The faintest light that illuminated the silhouettes of-
Wings enfolded him suddenly, startling him out of the darkness he'd encountered. When she pried the memory from him it was with a hint of regret that he could not ask more about.... about...
He accepted the blessing with a smile and wondered why he had approached the Goddess in the first place.

Aima walked quietly and with purpose among the ruins. The yellow was warm, impossibly warm. Noise filled the air, yet it was silent. Vibrations. She kept coming up with questions- why was she here? What was this place? Did this technology work?
Two orbs drilled holes through her, piercing through her thoughts even. Her mind went blank, but only for a moment- then came questions. Who was that? What did they want.
Immediately she felt a sense of belonging, of warmth. Was this what she'd forgotten?
She approached the figure. Comfort, warmth. She was home. This was him-
No. It was gone. The feeling was gone. She was alone once more.

Finally Naiad gets closer to the goddess than before and she feels the darkness close in around her. She feels safer here, like there no worries to think of. Naiad felt as if she was new, warm and safe and reveled in the feeling. She feels the protection in this cocoon before she is cast out of it and she felt small and cold. It was terrifying to her and she could hear her screams in the air. Naiad knew that she had just felt and experienced her own birth, her real birth. She then felt the goddess' wings embrace her as she spoke.
"This is old and gone. You were never meant to hold such a thing."
Naiad felt the memory slowly and gently taken from her, however she still could feel that feeling of being safe and protected.

He wondered a lot of things, like why the tunnels were growing steadily darker, or whose eyes had appeared from that darkness. Answers seemed just as forthcoming, to his delight. The goddess, his goddess, had graced them all with her presence.
He took a few steps on his new legs, intending perhaps to ask where she had come from or where she would leave to. The shadows became absolute, crossing everything from his vision. Even his breath caught in his chest, the guiding light of his heart suddenly extinguished.
He felt a safety that might have been his, ripped from him. Exposed, frightened. Even the idea of voicing himself seemed impossible for one so small - only screams could convey his fear.
Soft feathered wings muffled any sort of cry he might have actually made. The goddess reclaimed what was rightfully hers - the answer to a simple question he might have thought to ask one day.
'Where did I come from?'
He took her blessing, unaware of why she had blessed him at all.

Right! Shiny things! "I do feel better that the Goddess is here, don't you?" Ryjer's tone had shifted since his return, and he floated after another shard, but the euphoria passed into a more familiar confusion as suddenly he heard a voice,
-Wasn't the right answers you idiot dweeb-!
He blinked a few times before looking back to his companion, "I'm sorry, I don't think we've been introduced. I think I might have a name. Unless you'd like to keep that to yourself I can't seem to recall the proper etiquette ahahahaha um." His voice dropped down more quietly as he leaned in, "What did she say to you?"

One last lie to whisk away before someone misunderstood. He needed to catch a single more, and yet, ever as he grasped for the next he saw, it was just out of reach.
Honestly, why was it so difficult to catch the things? And why did it feel wrong to say they were all lies? Did he regret the thought of not having such a family?

Vaneda smiled one last time as the goddess disappeared. Funny. This smiling thing.
And she turned to face a shorter haired and also prettier being. A sense...of something. But nothing. Her smile turned to lazy and she walked a little closer to the other being.
"I think it was!" Vaneda nodded, reaching past the other being, "She was very warm. Do you know what warm is?"
Her hand reached for the fragment that floated in her sight. But it was nothing more than a floating though. Right at the cusp of her hands.
"Do you want to be warm?"

One question replaced with another. Really, he felt like he was overthinking it all. Couldn't he just let it all go and trust the goddess? What was with the clawing feeling that doing so was wrong? That believe what she said wasn't entirely right? Certainly, certainly he had to be as he was. He'd awoken and only the beings were there.
This mockery of memories, of people who seemed to not exist, it was nothing. Nothing but... simple fragments. That's what they were. Why did he have to care of they were some lost part of himself or not? And yet, as he reached for another it escaped, leaving a hole he had tried to fill with it.
Perhaps he just desired something. Anything aside from the hollow feeling he had left in him.

She wanted more fragments. She wanted to know more. She didn't see the other beings in her search. Even if she wanted to talk to them...she didn't until she had herself again.
More thoughts and whispers moved past her, making her reach out aimlessly.
"No no no, come back..." She said as she chased a fragment. "I promise not to hurt you if you come back!"
