She huffed in relief. 'Thank goodness, it's still here,' she mumbled, smiling. She stepped aside and gestured to a gap in the trees, revealing a small building with a shrine out front, strange characters inscribed on it. 'What do you think?'
(Just making this up as I go XP)

"Interesting..." Fafnir and Teirun said.

Layla eyed it curiosly, wondering what it did. She nodded and said "yes, very."

Lapsa beamed. 'This is the shrine we call 'Aedis Umorte', if I had to translate... Shrine of One Death? Shrine of Dead One? I'm not entirely sure. Either way, this is one of the shrines some local mortals visited to wish their fallen ones well on the trip to their selected afterlife, if they had one at all. It was run by one of us back when we were still around, but since has been taken over by one named Charnys. Be respectful to him, though I warn you, he will likely surprise you.' In the ground, using one of her back paws, she wrote the characters 'χάρνυς'. The way she did it made it seem like she didn't notice she was writing it. She then waved with her paw. 'Well, let's go inside!' She led them around the back of the shrine and into the building placed behind it.

They didn't say anything as they followed, either unsure what to say or have nothing to say at all.

Layla followed, intrigued by the mysteriousness.

Lapsa peered into the building. 'Kyve!' She called out. She never spoke through mouth, it seemed, only through telepathy.
From inside the building a voice sang, "Speak your name, mass of darkness, thou who stands outside! Else I'll be forced to whisk you away, or slice a gash in your hide! I shan't be deceived by your knowledge of my native tongue!"
'Paranoid.' Lapsa scoffed quietly. 'The name bestowed unto me was Ustrima, and has since been altered to Lapsa!'
There was silence, and then the sound of flapping wings could be heard as an owl came into view. His feathers were mostly pure white, so bright they were almost blinding. His tail feathers were black at the base in sharp contrast before fading back into white at the tips. The same went for his his flight feathers. One of his eyes were red and the other was purple. Both were without pupils. "Well... If it isn't the fallen wish-bringer. It's been a long time, my deadly bundle of nightshade."
(While writing this I was originally going to have Charnys call her 'hallucination-inducing nightshade', but then I learned nightshade actually does cause hallucinations... The analogy actually works really well!)

Fafnir tilted his head, unsure how to feel about the owl. He kept Teirun from saying anything.

Layla looked upon the owl, eyeing her, keeping her hand near the weapon she always kept by her side.

Lapsa laughed at the owl's remark. 'You haven't changed, my feathered friend. I'd love to ask you to what strange worlds those versatile feathers have taken you as of late, but the time for that isn't now, sadly.'
"But of course, dear Lapsa." He perched upon Lapsa's head and eyed the four cats standing behind her, those being Dew, Teirun, Fafnir, and Layla. "Ah, so that's why you've all been absent. It's lovely to see you four again as well!" He sang, eagerly shaking out his feathers.
'Charnys!' Lapsa grumbled irritably. 'Don't speak like that. Such events as the ones you speak of never occurred.'
Charnys tilted his head. "Oh my, is that so? Well then, my four oblivious younglings, I apologize. Shall we all introduce ourselves? I'm Void Shifter Charnys." He bowed. "Now what are your names?"

Fafnir nodded, "I'm Fafnir, and this-" "Teirun, nice to meet you." She finished.

Layla dipped her head. "Layla." She replied, she looked back at the bird, leaving nothing but a strangers glare on her face.

"Mm... Fefnir, Tarun, and Lyla, was it?" The owl asked in confirmation. Lapsa looked annoyed, rolling her eyes. 'Are you going deaf, Charnys? It's Fafnir, Teirun, and Layla. Not what you said.' The owl flinched. "Oh dear! My apologies." 'Get used to it,' Lapsa commented to the three felines. 'He's always been bad with names. Anyway!' She looked back at the owl who remained perched atop her cranium. 'Might we come it?'
Charnys hooted. 'Of course! This is as much my home as it is yours, my friends.'
Lapsa looked once again at the others and beckoned them inside.

Fafnir nodded, and walked with Teirun inside.

Lapsa led them to a room lined with beds. 'You all must be tired. Please, rest if you need.' She gazed out a window, studying the stars that dotted the now black sky. Her gaze was distant, like something was on her mind.
Meanwhile Charnys took perch on a shelf that was attached to the wall. "Yes, yes, rest your heads wherever you deem fit."

Fafnir nodded and laid down on one bed, falling asleep in a matter of minutes. Teirun sat on a bed that was next to her brother, thinking about a few things before laying down and falling asleep as well.

Layla sat down leaning against the wall. She slept upright in her sleeping position. In case something happened.

Lapsa sat down outside with Charnys. The two of them talked, with Charnys eventually dozing off atop her head. She chuckled softly and looked up at the moonlit sky, smiling.
(Skip to next day?)
