Strangers

Stelon walked towards the castle with Imera and Miraye, a rather elaborate lilac dress cradled in her arms. They had been walking for some time now, and she too was beginning to feel the weight of the dress. The girls didn't say too much, and it was probably for the better. Miraye led the little trio, followed by Imera and then herself.

She shrieked as a man fell to the ground before them, followed by a girl clutching a teddy bear. But that wasn't what was strange about her. She had wings! Beautiful black wings jutting out from her back. Imera and herself stared in awe, and it was a few moments before Stelon turned her attention back to the blue-haired man.

"Who're you?!"

"Me? I'm Matthias Davidius Holmes." He paused a moment. "Oh. And she's Farrago. We just busted outta Larkin's dungeon and now we're looking for the Sink. Who are you, and do you know anything about them?"
Stelon smiled and opened her mouth to introduce them to Matthias and then promptly closed her mouth as Miraye cut in.
"No time for introductions. Be best if we were on our way," Miraye made a move to leave and Stelon eeped quietly as she was stopped by a metal, high-tech looking arm.
"Believe me, you do NOT want to get me angry."
Stelon and Imera both stood and continued to watch the display of angry/irritated words from Miraye and the somewhat surprised responses from Matthias. After a bit of this, Miraye walked on a bit, though neither Imera nor Stelon noticed right away. They were too busy gaping at Farrago's interesting wings and talking to the man who fell from the sky. It was Imera who spoke first, introducing both of them, and then Stelon with a question.
"Why are you searching for the Sink?"
Imera suddenly pointed ahead of them at Miraye's retreating form and Stel followed what she was looking at.
