“I would take you there, but you probably wouldn’t come back. The demons would have fun with you.” He winks.
Everyone (again): o.o
Isaac (in confusion): “Huh”
Melody (out of curiosity): “What do the demons look like?”
That makes Gio cackle. “Depends on what you fear most. We all look different. I look pretty human, I think.” He winks a red eye and his fiery hair flickers against his orange skin.
Isaac shudders.
“…Spiders,” he murmurs.
Thorn glances at him.
(Side note, “what you fear most” reminds me of boggarts-)
boggarts… time to go google! that sounds familiar!
“Then you would probably get tortured by a bunch of spider demons in the the ring of Hell that most suits you. What’syour sin, greed?” His eyes shine a bit more as he tries to read Isaac.
Isaac blinks.
“Greed? I’m not greedy…before I became a jester I did live in a mansion and have a lot of wealth, but if I saw anyone who needed it more, I would be willing to give them some. I even gave the ringmaster some when I started working for him, because at that point the circus wasn’t doing well.”
He shudders again.
“Also…spider demons??”
(Side note again, I looked up some things and I think his might be gluttony? I’m not 100 percent sure though-)
ooo, gluttony is different!
“Hmm…” His eyes glow again. “Then maybe it’s gluttony. Sometimes they’re hard to distinguish… You would get an overabundance in Hell.” He snickers. “Make you a glutton for punishment.”
Isaac looks confused again-
Aiden shifts a bit
“Alright, new friends! Let’s go to school!” Gio snaps and a portal pops up. Looks magical.
Isaac: “Ooh portal!”
Aiden: “We’ve seen portals before, Isaac.”
Isaac: “Yes but-”
Melody: “I’m excited to see what the school looks like.”
Thorn: “Wait! What do we do with the horses?”
“We have stables. They can be housed where the griffins stay,” the ogre gruffs.
Thorn: “Ah, ok.”
Isaac hops around a bit…and almost falls into the portal
Aiden grabs him before he actually does.
“Oh, just go through. We won’t eat you.” Gio pushes the teacher through and coaxes the others.
They follow the teacher through the portal.
Okay! Now I’m required to dig into my memory lol.
Really big lush green courtyard with cobblestone paths leading away and lots of brick and cobble buildings surrounding it. There’s a giant pond with a fountain in the middle of everything and lots of weird and giant creatures are roaming the grounds… (I would be more specific but it’s like 5am rn lol)
“Hey, a pond! And a fountain!” Isaac exclaims.
“There’s so many animals,” Melody murmurs.
Robin looks at the cobblestone.
Gio snorts. “Those aren’t animals, they’re creatures of the night!” He laughs and a thunderclap happens above.
“Oh?” Melody glances at the creatures again.
Everyone jumps at the thunderclap, the horses snorting.
There are vampires, ice creatures, demons, creatures just covered in eyes, shadow creatures, fire creatures, werewolves, mummies, half-breeds, lagoon monsters, and more! Witches, warlocks, lords of the underworld even!
Everyone looks around in wonder and awe at the creatures, recognizing a few that they have in their own world.
