Dark Cacao is a man on a mission, and that mission is entirely justified given that his beloved and their adopted daughter have been attacked in the night! It is the one time in their entire stay at the beach that a path opens to the woods finally, letting him ascend Ourania's stairs. It seems as if the forest is welcoming him, mocking him.
...
And then, Dark Cacao is stumbling back out of the fog. How long has it been? Too long, surely. His head aches like nothing he's felt before and the memories are blooming in his mind like fireworks. They are just as loud. He may not notice any physical changes just yet... but as he makes his way back home, he'll remember everything.
He'll also remember a darkness unlike anything else. In his- is it his?- hand is a lantern. Besides him is his sister, her halo-like horns hole and hale. As they walk across the pale crater, there's the sound of snarling. Something tearing. He lifts the lantern more, and finds... a pale woman with long, tangled, silver hair. Her blue eyes are frenzied, wild. She crouches, hiding her naked body with her posture alone, and a moon rabbit is hanging from her teeth, staining her face and fingers red. And yet he knows, she is a god like they are. It is your sister who steps forward, speaking gently despite the fury of an interrupted meal in the woman's eyes. His hand on the lantern only tightens.
... Oh hey Dark Cacao you're home! Wait why does everything smell like blood?
