From the Weakest Goblin To the Greatest God

The pouring rain outside made Skubli hesitant to go near the entrance to the cave, however he ventured out to it anyways to avoid speaking with his brethren.

The water was stark and cold, splashing on the little goblin's feet as he approached the entrance of the cave. Thunder clapped and spooked him into a cowering position, however once Skubli realized there was no immediate danger, he scurried forwards a little bit to examine the falling water.

Further investigation led to the discovery that the mantle Skubli wore was waterproof, repelling the liquid with great ease. Content with his discovery, Skubli hobbled back inside the cave, grunting quietly at the few goblins he passed as he made his way towards the back of the cave.

Skubli had only been to the back end of the cave when he was a newborn or when he had been collapsing from exhaustion; exploring it had not been something he had done yet, and with no other alternatives, now was the perfect time.

Darkness nearly encompassed the entirety of the cave's back end, however Skubli's keen eyes provided vision in the shadows. For the most part, it led to narrow dead ends and closed walls, leaving the goblin dissatisfied.

Just before Skubli gave up, a small crevice led to a closed off, hidden alcove large enough to make a comfortable space for a goblin as small as Skubli.

Thrilled by the new discovery, Skubli sniffed out the new space, ensuring it was completely safe before pulling a few items of food he had horded, a small, sharp rock acquired from his day out, and one of the fish scales from the luminescent fish. The runt quickly stored away the valuables and crawled into the alcove to continue to explore.

@Vicier Hey, will Zoe know that Syleste and Sebastian are Sirens? I figure that she'll know about Syleste, due to Xerxes determining her species, and he'll probably tell Zoe, but I wasn't sure if Zoe was just going to be able to smell it or what.

The City of Gems

@The1Rolling1Boy Yeah, that's why I was hesitant to believe it.

The City of Gems

@The1Rolling1Boy Yeah, I saw this fanart for a fusion of Lapis and Steven a while back and thought it actually happened because there were a couple of episodes I hadn't seen yet. It spooked me, they had like four arms and looked a lot like Smokey Quartz.

"Sebbie, let me help."

Cassie's soothing voice rang out over the din of screaming teenagers, commanding doctors, and beeping machines. Before Sebastian could say anything, she was under his arm and helping him stand properly, assisting him in walking with a worried look on her face.

"Cassie! You're okay!" Sebastian's voice nearly broke as he felt a surge of relief wash over him. Had he possessed the strength, he would have embraced her in a rib-crushing hug, however with one arm inert and the other being used to help support him, he let the idea pass. The two slowly made their way into the room where he could hear two other voices, both of them male; one sounded like Cody, but Sebastian couldn't make out the other voice. It was too faint, and the loud clamor of the hospital drowned out any hope of determining its owner.

"Cass, have you seen anyone else? Are they okay? What about you? Are you hurt?" In the back of his mind, Sebastian knew that he turning process had already started, mending the wounds the group had sustained, however logic was drowned out by his concern for his friends. Sebastian took a moment to look Cassie over, glancing at the dried blood crusting on her clothing, noting that there was a very small amount.

Before Cassie could have any chance to reply, a scream rang out from the end of the hall, eliciting a gut-wrenching pang of concern from Sebastian.

“Gage..!”

Syleste's voice rang out above the din, resounding across the floor with a level of intensity that rivaled Sebastian's voice. The Siren whipped his head up to see medical personnel rushing down the hall towards the screaming. "Has anyone seen Gage?!"

Panic crept into his voice as he thought about the pain he must be enduring. Knowing that he would live and heal was no comfort to Sebastian; he could only think of the pain he must be enduring. A stray orderly bumped into Sebastian, pushing him and Cassie into the room where Cody and another boy lay, both of them blood and injured, however Cody seemed to be standing with no issues. Relief swept through Sebastian as he slowly counted up his friends and their conditions. Cassie seemed to be fine, Cody was standing with relative ease, Aron was lying in bed, down but alert. Syleste was unaccounted for, however she was at least awake and alive, able to call out for her boyfriend. Gage was obviously in pain, but Sebastian was uncertain how much. I just hope he heals enough before he dies... Kaylee was absent. Where were the others?

Sebastian was faintly aware of the voices around him as he slipped in and out of consciousness. He occasionally felt someone touch one of his wounds, whether it be disinfecting it, bandaging it, or any other kind of medical attention. While it had been mostly a blur, Sebastian was fairly certain that he had sustained among the worst of the injuries. He could recall one or two maulings that had been more severe than his, particularly Gage's injuries, however it had all happened so fast and he was uncertain who was truly in danger.

A flash of fangs and claws haunted Sebastian's memories as he slowly emerged from the influence of the sedative, awakening to an empty room.

Bandages covered the majority of his torso, with stitches and bandages covering the majorities of the claw marks. A large bandage comprised of gauze and cotton was secured to his shoulder, hiding the large bite mark the wolf had left on his right shoulder. The long gash along his left leg had been stitched up completely, leaving Sebastian to question how long he had been asleep.

The boy forced himself to sit up, groaning in response to the stretching of his skin as he struggled to get off of the bed. After a short moment, he collapsed back onto the bed, unable to stand. The bite of the wolf had probably empowered his friends to fight off the pain and come further along in the recovery process than he had, leaving the Siren slightly weaker than the rest.

After recovering his strength, Sebastian forced himself to his feet, releasing a high pitched shriek as the pain overwhelmed him. The incisions all over his legs were far deeper than he had originally thought, making it look like he had run through a pack of weaponized leprechauns.

The shriek wasn't merely an outcry of pain, it was the infused with the voice of a Siren. It echoed through the walls and across the entire floor, shaking the glass around him, even cracking the screen of the machine that was hooked up to his heartbeat.

Sebastian would have berated himself for screaming in public, however he was disoriented from his loss of blood, and the safety of his friends was the only thing he could think about. Bursting out of his hospital room, he looked around wildly, leaning against the wall for support.

"Where are they?! Are they okay?" Sebastian briefly noted the feeling of an IV being torn from his arm as he tumbled into a chair in the hallway, shakily rising to his feet before continuing down the hall. He could hear multiple voices of shock, however he ignored them, making his way away from them and towards the sounds of pain and confusion. Before he could get to the room that his friends voices were in, an arm wrapped around his waist, gently pulling him into the orderly's body and removing the stability the wall provided.

"You need to calm down, sir. Your friends will be fine, but you're going to tear your stitch-" Before the orderly could finish, Sebastian reached up with his good arm and grabbed the back of the orderly's head, pulling it close to his ear.

"Let go of me."

His voice was powerful and commanding, fueled by panic and worry. The orderly was immediately overtaken by the Siren's voice, following his orders and releasing him. Sebastian slumped to the side and hit the wall, stumbling forward towards the doorway where his friends were.

• Grayson Donovan •

Grayson returned with Harley to the bunker, enthralled and slightly unnerved by her immense power. The waves held the pair up with odd currents, feeling almost like a vortex around his legs, however he didn't spin in circles like he expected.

The water carried Grayson and Harley back to the cliff they had originally dived off of; the two made their way on foot back to the bunker, slowly walking so as to spend more time together. Harley was completely dry, however Grayson's clothes were damp, but he didn't mention it to her, not wanting to complain.

When the two finally made it back to the bunker, Harley mentioned a long list of responsibilities she had to attend to. Before Grayson could say anything flirtatious, she asked him not to use his powers alone, and the brief reminder of how much it had scared the both of them when he couldn't remeld into his body quelled any comments he could have made. Before he knew it, Harley had kissed him and was gone, leaving him standing alone in the doorway staring as she walked away.

"Looks like someones having a good day."

Grayson whipped his head around to see a young man smiling broadly at him, his eyebrows lifted upwards in a teasing manner. Grayson let out a pleased chuckle and looked back towards the direction Harley had left, attempting to hide the small amount of blush his face betrayed. Before the asteroid, having any kind of girl to kiss would have been something he had bragged about, however the events of the last year had sobered him up a bit. Harley wasn't just some girl he was making out with. She genuinely attracted him, and her confident spirit and tricky playfulness drew him in. He didn't wanna mess it up by being cocky.

"Oh, shut up, Jake." Grayson turned back to face him and leaned against the wall, grinning broadly. "There's nothing wrong a little fun." Grayson attempted to play it off, trying not to reveal just how attracted he was to Harley.
