Chuckling softly to herself, Pansy menacingly led the terrified Branch over to Uueeka against his will, the massive bird now mingling with the others, seeming to be laughing at a joke that was just told...

"Uueeka..." the old troll called over to the massive bird, Uueeka instantly turning away from his conversation to look at the troll he considered a mother. "Fooning teeoom."

     The bird nodded at the statement, bending down a bit so that Pansy could easily climb onto his back.

     "Come with me," the former queen instructed, climbing up onto Uueeka before turning back to the trembling survivalist with a smirk, the pink troll holding out her hand to help the safety nerd climb onto the bird alongside her...

     Branch looked at her for just a moment before his fearful gaze slowly turned to the bird she was currently standing on top of, his heart actually skipping a beat as he stood frozen in place, the poor boy seeming to be completely incapable of movement...

     "Uh... no... no thank you..." he finally denied, his voice shaking wildly as the young boy nervously fiddled with his fingers, his eyes locked on Uueeka and refusing to look away. "I'm kinda... a little bit... terrified of birds..."

     "Oh please," Pansy scoffed, rolling her eyes at the paranoid survivalist who was now trying to make his escape. "How can you be scared of such majestic creatures?"

"I... I... I..." Branch stuttered, beginning to slowly back away in hopes that the crazy old bat wouldn't notice his retreat until after he was already long gone...

But... unfortunately... he didn't get far before a rather hard peck on his head made the little blue troll freeze in place...

     Slowly, Branch looked up, horrified to see that the group of birds who had trapped him earlier were once again surrounding him, the massive beasts making escape impossible as they seemingly snarled at the young boy standing before them, warning him not to move even an inch... or else...

     "Besides..." the former queen suddenly continued with a light smirk, her words instantly catching Branch's attention and making him look back to her in complete terror. "Uueeka isn't a bird. He's a Synathin."

     "A... a what?" Branch questioned in confusion, the poor thing not daring to take even a single step away from Poppy's mother in fear that it would cost him his life...

     "A Synathin," Pansy repeated, checking her nonexistent nails. "They are magical bird-like creatures who can heal any injury. They can even bring people back from the dead..." She paused, looking back up at Branch with a sinister grin. "As you witnessed when you and Poppy first arrived..."

Branch looked over at Uueeka once more before then turning his gaze quickly back to Pansy, his eyes still shimmering with fear...

"Y... yeah..." he stuttered with a quick gulp of terror. "I'm still not getting on it..."

Pansy smiled mischievously at the young boy's words, a small chuckle emerging from the back of her throat...

"You wanna bet on that?" she grinned. "Fweebu! Gruba!"

Suddenly... before Branch could do anything to protect himself... one of the many Synathins surrounding the petrified survivalist grabbed hold of his vest with it's beak, the large creature yanking the little blue troll up off of the ground so he couldn't escape his sealed fate...

"AHHH! No!" Branch screamed out loudly, the poor boy panicking as he tried desperately to escape the threat. "Put me down! Put me down!"

"Toosha!" Pansy ordered with a sinister grin, the white with black speckled Synathin immediately throwing Branch roughly onto Uueeka's back, the little troll landing flat on his stomach right next to Poppy's fiendish mother with an almost silent grunt.

     "Oof..." Branch groaned, Pansy quickly turning to to her bird-like friend before the survivalist had a chance to move even a muscle...

     "Foony!" she shouted out, holding on gently to Uueeka's head feathers, the Synathin instantly reacting to the command it was just given...

At the sound of the older pink troll's words, Uueeka opened his wings before suddenly lifting up into the sky at top speed...

"AHHHHH!" Branch screamed, the poor boy holding tightly onto the Synathin's feathers for dear life. "Put me down! Put me down! Put me down!!!!"

"Well..." Pansy shrugged, the former queen turning back to look at Branch with a devilish smirk. "If that's what you want... Smin!"

At the command, Uueeka immediately began spinning around in circles, doing several corkscrew flips until Branch finally lost his grip on the Synathin's feathers, the little blue troll falling off of the large creature's back before beginning to plummet at high speeds down towards the ground below...

"AHHHHH!" the survivalist screamed out in pure and utter terror, the poor boy flapping his arms up and down as if he thought he could somehow take flight and save himself from a horrible painful demise... "Pick me up! Pick me up! Pick me up!!!!"

"Kath!" Pansy finally yelled out with a light chuckle right as her daughter's terrified boyfriend was about to splatter painfully against the ground, Uueeka quickly reacting by swooping down at top speed to catch Branch out of the air, the little blue troll landing safely on the large Synathin's back at the very last moment he had before death...

Panting heavily, his eyes wide in horror, Branch lay flat on his stomach, the survivalist clutching the bird-like creature's feathers tightly in his hands and refusing to let go...

Pansy turned to look back at him, the former queen laughing at the poor boy's fear...

"You gotta relax, kid," she laughed tauntingly.
"How on earth am I supposed to relax, when you keep trying to kill me!?" Branch yelled back, shutting his eyes tight as he strengthened his grip on the Synathin's feathers.

     "Trust me, Branch... if I was trying to kill you... you'd be dead already," Pansy assured with a slight grin.

     "Thanks... that's super comforting..." Branch groaned sarcastically, not even looking up at the old troll holding him captive. "Now please! Put me down, safely!"

"Hmm..." Pansy muttered softly to herself, thinking 'carefully' about the request for just a single moment before smirking once again down at Branch. "Nah. Let's have some fun," she laughed. "Upa!"

     And once again... Uueeka obeyed the command, the Synathin immediately flying up higher into the sky as told...

"No, no, no!" Branch yelled out in total fear, tightening his grip once again on the only thing keeping him from falling to his death. "Go down! Go down!"
"He won't respond to English," Pansy chuckled. "He only knows Synathin."
"Well then..." the survivalist started angrily. "What's Synathin for down!?"
"Fueesha," she answered almost immediately, the old women smirking menacingly at the panicking troll behind her.

"Fueesha! Fueesha! Fueesha!!!!" Branch yelled out at the top of his lungs, hoping with all his heart that the creature holding him would obey...

     But... instead of going down like he had so desperately wanted... Uueeka only went up faster, picking up the pace dramatically...

"It's not working!" Branch yelled in terror, shutting his eyes even tighter than they already had been before...

     "Sure it is," Pansy laughed. "You just told him to go faster! Faster! Faster!!!!"
"You told me it meant down!" the terrified pop troll yelled out in pure rage, finally opening his eyes to glare up at this traitor. "I lied," the former queen chuckled, smirking at him once more before quickly turning her attention back to Uueeka...

"Fueesha!" Pansy yelled out, laughing loudly like a crazy maniac.

     "AHHHHH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
