He hadn't been expecting to get a ping on his Trollian anytime soon. Stopping in his tracks, Aquila pressed a few buttons on his violet Communicuff, activating the program.
UA: ````\issat you, C? jeez, i'm sorry. i kinda f/_ew off without warning, didn't i? O and S /_eft the meteor, and i think /_ did, too_ as for where i am, i have no idea_/````
The jadeblood looked around the void around him... though when he did see something off in the distance, he began to fly towards it, his white feathery wings flapping slowly.
UA: ````\i do see something odd, though_ /_ooks like an... is/_and of sorts_ i'm heading there now_ what about you, C?/````

Aquila tilted his head slightly in confusion as he continued to fly towards the island.
UA: ````\what do you mean by that, C? Actua/_/_y, never mind_ it'd be easier if you exp/_ained it to me face to face. i'/_/_ see you soon_/````
With that, Aquila logged off of Trollian, flying further. Eventually, he stopped, landing on a tree branch and looking to the skies, attempting to see his friend.

Well... here's to hoping this was the same island that Aquila was referring to. There were a lot of rogue planetoids strewn about in the void, and it was unlikely that this was the only vaguely island-shaped landmass out there. But even ignoring the vague guidance of the voices of the imminently deceased in his head, Cortem was always one to trust his own intuition, especially now that it was finer tuned to fate. And so help him if he wasn't fated to find the Seer of Hope again.
The Prince of Doom descended upon the island, scanning the skies around him and the vast landscape below for any familiar figures. If Aquila was out here somewhere, surely he'd make his presence known.
And sure enough, he eventually spotted a black, brown and white spot perched atop a tree, smiling with absolute ecstasy when he realized what it was.
"QUIL!!!" Cortem swooped down to meet his friend, not the least bit worried about how Aquila might react to his... new and feathery appendages...

"Ah? Ah! Cortem!"
Aquila grinned widely, raising his aviator goggles to his forehead and waving. "Heh, I see you've changed a bit... I like the new wings. Where'd you get 'em?" He folded his arms, rising into the air as he went to meet Cortem.

Cortem chuckled a bit, his wings flapping in an effort to stay afloat in one place. "Heheh... What, these? Well, you remember how my dream self got axed by that Derse agent? And how I was told to throw the body into my lususprite?" He tapped his head, figuring Aquila would know who told him to do that. "Well, long story short, while I was out lookin' for ya, I ran into this trench coat 'n scarf dude. He killed me, sprite brought me back to my cocoon on LOTAV, and now here I am! One with dream me and Crowdad! Wings were white originally, but... eh, I wasn't into it, so I painted 'em."
His smile softened a little... almost bashfully so. "So, uh... Yeah. You like?"

Aquila nodded rather rapidly, grinning brightly. "Is that even a question? I love 'em! I'm glad to see you finally reached this level, C." The Jadeblood flapped his own white wings slightly. "Heh, bit of a shame you didn't like the white that much, but that's fine. I love it, myself."
At that, he flapped his own wings again. "Still, I bet it feels nice, doesn't it? I always love going flying."

"O-Oh, yeah! It's... not like I hated having white wings," Cortem fumbled to recover. "It's just- Y'know, it wasn't for me. And I can't turn it on and off like you and O can... Heh... But hey, they definitely work for you, bro."
He gave Aquila a big, dorky smile. "And yeah, it's been dope! Levitation was one thing back in the old days, but it's nice to fly without having to strain my brain, ya dig?"

Aquila chuckled, waving a hand dismissively. "Hah, I'm not mad, C. You kiddin'? I'd think ya know me better than that. So... got any clue where we are exactly? This is one of the weirdest places I've ever seen."
He looked around, folding his arms. It was... certainly an interesting change from what he was familiar with.

"Yeah, I dunno, brah." With a powerful flap of his wings and a slight mental push, Cortem lifted himself higher into the air and started flying in small circles, observing the land below while keeping in hearing range. "Don't look like too bad a place! Very green, very natural, no giant-a** thorns nowhere... Hell, sun don't feel too bad neither!"
He smiled down at Aquila, upside-down from his current position. "Whatever this place is, I like that we found it!"

Aquila nodded, flying up as well. "You can say that again. We should go investigate it. Sound good?"
He grinned at his companion, looking forward to spending some time with him again.

"Sound awesome!" Cortem did a midair flip and shot Aquila two thumbs up. The prospect of exploring new territory was exciting enough, but darn was he thrilled for some quality time with his best bro. "Let's check this place out, man!"
As the duo ventured onward, flying high above the patchwork landscape, Cortem asked, "So where'd O ollie out to? Figured she'd be with you."

Their flight surely reveals more than one point of interest. A distant, towering city, frost-gilded mountains, a windswept desert... and a parched seadweller trudging along, hands in the pockets of his shorts, eyes dull as ever and bagged not just with biology, but exhaustion.
It's Maikye - more than that, a Maikye without crocdad, and a Maikye rather far from water. He needs help.

Aquila was the first to see the seadweller. Years of training his eyes with his own eagledad made it easier... though his shout of surprise might have startled his flying companion.
"M?! Oh shit. We gotta help him!"
At that, Aquila swooped down, gliding towards him. "M, are you okay? Jeez, where have you been?"
