HAWKS PALACE

[doublefried]

The process of entering the palace is... smooth. Painless.


You are falling, but it's not scary at the speed you're going. You drop through the pre-dawn sky like a feather, light and easy on a breeze, descending towards a bright and multicolored island in a sea of dark trees.

When you land, you are somewhere new.

There is a photo of him with Endeavor! It's them doing a shared victory pose (they are both covered in blood, Hawks has no wings and Endeavor is missing an arm from the elbow down).

Picking it up actually gives her a MEMORY. It's of a bloody, drawn-out battle. It's like dozens and dozens of chapters but the gist of it is that, you know, a lot of people get seriously injured and some people do not survive and Hawks at the very end fully decapitates this cackling villain to the mixed triumph and horror of the rest of his allies.

[OH JEEZ, that startles her enough that she almost drops the picture. kinda scary. kinda badass.

makes sure to set the photo back carefully, feelin' some kind of way about it]

Life is rough for heroes.

When she puts the photo back, a red feather falls out from behind it.

--!

[she catches the feather carefully in her hand, trying not to smush it]

...Ah.

[a Treasure??? holds it up to the light to see if it's like, shiny or magical or if it's just a feather. sometimes you just gotta Check]

It doesn't look like a Treasure, but it DOES seem like a Key Item.

[it's important so she's gonna keep it. tucks it safely into her sleeve before she heads back out to go look at the rides for real]

It's time for CULTURE SHOCK
