6 Years Ago
Tiny footsteps echoed off the walls of the hallways. A small child of 11 years looked down the pathways and then behind him, a worried face plastered his face as he began to panic. His eyes got watery as he began to consider dark possibilities or being alone forever, stuck in the never ending hall ways. He miserable threw himself on the ground, pulling his knees up and hiding his face behind them and also covering his face with his arms. He wanted to cry, all he wanted to do was get back to his room and try to figure out his whole cult business in peace.

Aly nestled in one of the large, unlit chandeliers the cult had a surplus of, taking in the sights- well, not sights, but thoughts- of the cult. She always sifting through the outer layers of their thoughts, just barely brushing their emotions. Closing her eyes, she reached out again. This time, she felt a strange type of fear. She 's used to fear, but this was different. Softer and sharper at the same time... A childish terror, something she hadn't encountered in such close contact in a while.
She slid quietly from her perch and started off towards the feeling through the now-familliar halls, her bare feet making soft slapping sounds against the cold floor and her glowing hair swirling around her face. Rounding a corner, she saw a child, curled up on the ground. She slowed down, and after hiding her wings and hair in her cloak, called out softly,
"Hello, there. Are you lost?" She's sure that townspeople had wandered into the building by accident, after all. She could lead the child out before someone decided to eat him, or worse.
((This is a bit long but they're probably only going to get shorter sorry))

The child looked up at the woman in front of him. One eye brown and the other holding a blue flame but both eyes were watery as tears still streamed down his face. " I-I can't find my way back to my room. I tried to find my way back but there's so many halls..." He wiped at his eyes trying to push away the tears.

Aly took a half-step back when she saw the child's eyes. Sighing inwardly, she crouched down in front of him and said,
"You're pretty new here, aren't you." She thought for a moment, then continued, "I can help you find your room. What's your name?" She gave a gentle smile, hoping that she wouldn't frighten him.

The child calmed down as the soft tone. He sniffles and wiped his face one more time before considering giving his real name or not. For now he decided that he's use another, " uh... Call me.. Dreamer... Yeah."

Aly could feel that the child was lying, but she didn't try to pry info his mind for it. Still smiling, she asked,
"Do you remember what the halls near your room look like? Anything to distinguish it?"

" I- I cant... Everything look the same. All I know is that my door has a sign on it that reads my name and thats all." He stated as be looked down hall.

After thinking for a moment, Aly stood up.
"Do you want to go to my place for a bit, then? You look like you could use a bit of a breather from this place, anyways." She gestured with one of her wings, forgetting to keep it tucked in as she spoke.

The child's eyes lit up when he noticed he wings, he reached a hand out to touch it with wonder, " Woah, are you an angel? ". The feather was soft to touch he realized as he inspected the wings.

Aly laughed softly, extending her wing further towards him. "No, not an angel, I'm afraid," she joked. "If I was, I'd be a fallen one."

Dreamer giggled and then after petting the wings a while longer he let go and responded, " um... If you don't mind can I still go with you?" He asked as he shuffled his feet around nervously.

Aly grinned again, nodding.
"Of course you can! It's not that far away if we go through the right tunnels." With that, she started off in the right direction, pausing a few steps later to see if the child was following.

The child walked behind the woman. Looking around occasionally and running up if he fell behind. " This place is so big, couldnt they have made if simpler?" He said in annoyance at the different tunnels.

She laughed out loud, careful to slow down a bit if he looked like he was falling behind.
"I don't know why they made it like this, but it feels more like a cult this way, doesn't it?" She asked, eyes twinkling. She rounded another corner, and paused to see if he was still there.

"It does but still, I wasn't expecting to be a literal maze" he mumbled as he kept up with her. He looked around then reached out to cling on her clothing, holding on so he wouldn't get lost " um are we almost there?"
