Astra nodded, feeling slightly sad. This Selkie was one of the only creatures that had ever been even slightly friendly towards her. But nevertheless Astra complied and carried them all the way to the ocean, using the sky as the fastest method of travel. She placed the Selkie into the water, feeling the slight chill on her hands as they touched the crystal surface.

Echo flipped through the water, loving the currents and rush of the salt in the ocean. "Thank you!" She barked, splashing Astra as she surfaced. "So, what exactly are you? I've never had the chance to meet many other creatures when I was in the aquarium, most creatures just turn the other way, never stick around to help me" Echo told her.

Astra smiled slightly and whispered "I'm a Valkyrie... A reaper of battles. I hate it though. Taking life after life. Then leaving some behind, to go and live... There. It's awful, that's why I left, I will never go back to that life. Now that I'm properly here, in the human world, I intend to properly help."

"You make it sound gloomy, don't do that" Echo barked, then she stopped and though for a moment, diving under the water to do a flip. "Valkyrie! Guardian warriors of gods! Angelic magical fighters!" Echo barked happily, trying not to make her feel bad about herself. "You gotta make everything more POSITIVE!" She exclaimed.

Astra rolled her eyes and said, "How can I be a pessimist if I look on the brightside, so here's the dark side Welcome! I have to take lives, watch their souls leave the bodies. Watch the other angels of death take the other 'Bad' souls, which just aren't as brave. Do you know how it feels to make a decision like that? Decide who gets to go up to 'heaven' or not."

"Well, you don't have to do anything! I can be a human, but I don't, you can kill, or don't" Echo said. "There's also good things, like I can juggle, which I do a lot, because it's awesome!" Echo started explaining "And you can just send everyone to heaven, can't you?" Echo finished

Astra pursed her lips, "Actually, I can't send everyone to heaven. After a battle, eaach Valkyrie chooses one warrior to go there. Only one each." Astra shook her head slightly, sending all of those bad thoughts away, dismissing them. "Anyway, shouldn't you be going home? That's what you wanted to do." Astra sat at the water's edge, crossing her legs.

"Oh wow, only one? That's a tough choice, but, yeah, I guess you're right, I wonder if they even remember me at home, it's been so long, I've been here for years now, but thank you so much for your help" Echo thanked her as she dived back into the ocean, swimming towards a colder place to find more seals, her plan was to find a group of seals, which must have some link back to the mythical world, or maybe a sealskin coat, because that's what Selkies are, humans in Seal's clothing, but they physically become seals.

Astra sighed and rose to her feet. Taking off her helmet, she folded her wings and hid them beneath her clothes. "Well... If I'm going to live here, I might as well get to know the place." She walked away from the sea and towards the town.

Argo-
What a wonderful idea it had been to come through the portal. Everything here was too afraid to eat him or too small. Though it was upsetting that none of the rabbits in this relem seemed to like him, they all ran from him. It was lonely here. With a sigh the large, for he was almost the size of a rat terrier, rabbit like animal hopped from his burrow. With a yawn he fluttered his wings some to land on the clear road. From here he had a nice view of the sea, prefect really.
