⚠️MILD VIOLENCE WARNING⚠️

Well, that was... something. We saw a village with a creepy statue and even Socks' sister... and then she tried to kill us.* There's not really much to think about except the pain from Socks' sister shooting my fucking ankle, but hey, at least we're alive. Now we're at TBVG's place. We'll settle there and take a few hours or a day to heal from what the hell happened. Let's see what all of this is about...

Tbh's POV
     Tbh was the first one to step out of the carriage, limping his way to TBVG. They were in front of a huge old stone wall, the entrance being a small lineup of hanging vines. "Hey!" Tbh greeted, acting like he wasn't in so much pain as the rest of his friends got off. TBVG just looked confused, arching an eyebrow as he looked at the carriage and then back at Tbh. "Ok. Why did you bring that? And what happened to you?" TBVG asked, walking closer to look at Tbh. "It's nothing. Just.. stuff." He replied, trying not to show any weakness. He needed to show he was affected by the war, he needed to show that he was fearless, which was untrue. TBVG let out a low chuckle, brushing the vines out of the way to show the place they were in.
     "Welcome to EmeraldBridge." TBVG introduced.
     Surprisingly, it was a beautiful abandoned city. Tall buildings with chunks of stone taken away with vines and moss covering them. At the bottom, it was like a village with stands, houses, and even hundreds of people walking around like it was a normal day. The village was even lit up with lanterns to at least make it look alive. Tbh couldn't help but stare in awe at EmeraldBridge; it was too beautiful to keep his eyes off of it. "Oh my god.. this place is beautiful.." Tbh mumbled, staring up at the abandoned buildings. "Yeah. For a long time, we have been living in silence in this abandoned city, but after the war, we finally were. able to relax and live happily." TBVG informed, nudging Tbh with his elbow before leading them to somewhere to the left.
     As they were walking, someone nudged Tbh on his shoulder. He flinched, looking back to see Blaza next to him. "Oh, hey." Tbh greeted, looking back at him. Blaza then pointed at where TBVG was and he was talking and laughing with Woolfster. "You think they were friends before?" Blaza asked, leaning down to talk to him because he was a fucking giraffe. Height aside, Blaza had a good guess. This idea gave Tbh almost a thousand theories on what might have happened a while back. One of the theories that was interesting was probably that they were separated. But his thoughts were interrupted by everyone stopping in their tracks, making Tbh bump into someone. Sometimes Tbh thought he should pay attention a bit more.
Everyone was walking in what looked like a cave, decorated with gems on strings covering the entrance. Tbh moved his crab claws closer to the gems and moved them aside, entering through to look at the cave and holy hell it was beautiful. The kitchen right in front of them was impressively beautiful and nicely decorated, a square-like wooden table standing in the spotlight. There were three doors. Two on the left and right corner, and the third perfectly behind the table. Gem-like lights hung over them, glistening and glowing, each one was a different color contrasting one another. But his mesmerizing was interrupted by Nadwe and Muffin running ahead of him like the children they were.
"Get yourself rested for a few minutes," TBVG said, walking over to the table and sitting down on one of the chairs. "Y'all did just survive an attack. You guys take a moment to adjust while we wait for the others." Tbh looked confused, trying to comprehend the last sentence that TBVG said. Others? Who else was here? Tbh didn't notice as he felt someone behind him, putting a hand on his shoulder. He whipped his head around to see the person, but moving his head so fast caused a blur. What if it was one of Laff's robots? What if they were back to finish them off?! Tbh kicked the figure to the ground before tackling and pinning them to the ground. He heard people around try to stop him, but all he felt was fear, trying to terminate anyone who seemed like a threat. One crab claw was around the stranger's neck, going to strangle them while the other reached for his gun. But before he could aim and shoot, someone grabbed him and pulled him back, making him jump back into reality. Everyone was panicked, and the person pulling him back was Blaza, dragging him away from the threat. He looked at the person who wasn't a threat, but instead was an actual person.
The stranger had brownish-black hair, most of it covered by a black beanie. They had a hoodie on their waist and a red panda tail behind them. He had a little red panda on his beanie. TBVG ran to assist the stranger, helping him get up. Tbh could hear the commotion around him again as he zoned back into reality. It felt like his lungs would collapse on him, trying to breathe normally to calm himself down. "Woah woah, is everyone alright?" TBVG said, making sure the new person was okay and wasn't injured. Tbh then felt the guilt hit him like a truck. He almost killed someone just because of his paranoia.
     "Quick introduction. This is Tuxy. One of my friends who helped me with EmeraldBridge." TBVG introduced. So, his name was Tuxy. Surprisingly, his name was more normal than the rest of the others' names, excluding Socks. Tuxy waved back, still looking a bit paranoid from the attack which was understandable. Tbh just got up and sat on the table. He noticed a few worried looks on him, but he just ignored it.
     "Well look who finally showed up," TBVG said in a teasing tone, looking at one of the doors from afar. The middle door was now open, and there stood another new person. They had two prosthetics, one for their left arm and the other for their right leg. Their limbs intact looked green and scaly, like the rest of their body and they had a tail behind them as well. They looked familiar to someone they heard about from Medz. Tbh's eyes widened realizing who it was.
     "Guys. This is Dino,"
