Part 4: Important Plot Point That Is There Because It Affects The Story (in comments)

Supernova: I hope you’re okay after that incident back at that pond.

Caelum: It was fine… it’s not important to the plot in any way.

Osore: Uhh… before this turns into a conversation, should we be aware that we’re about to walk off a cliff?

Supernova looked in front of him and realized he was standing 2 feet away from the edge of a ravine, with jagged rocks at the bottom.

Supernova: …yikes.

Caelum: Maybe we could go into that conveniently-placed cavern?

She pointed to a slope at the edge of the ravine, that led into a cave.

Caelum: Walking across the ravine could take hours, and with my knowledge of this land, I know it’s still going to take us well over a day to get to the tomb.

Supernova: …why not?

They all walked into the cave. After around an hour of walking, accidentally falling into ditches, and being annoyed by this one really annoying touchy-feely bat, they made it to a giant opening.

Supernova: What’s that over there?

Osore: It looks like…. an exit? There’s a bunch of stairs going up to an opening on the ceiling.

Caelum: That’s… nice, to say the least…

So the three walked over, and were about to walk up the stairs until they heard footsteps coming from a ledge above them.

Supernova: Hey, who the hell are you?

It was a hooded figure, holding a lance. There was some sort of contraption on their back.

???: …damn it, did you have to ruin my dramatic entrance?

The figure jumped down, and took off it’s hood.

Osore: Okayy… you better tell us what the hell you’re doing here, before we make a hole in your skull the size of a McDonald’s apple pie. We barely have any time to reignite this flame in this tomb before this woman here suddenly just withers up and looks like me.

???: Hah… that’s funny. Because that’s exactly what i’m trying to stop. My name is L’hriahhn, also known as the former Xarranian General L’hriahhn K’horr.

Supernova: Xarranian? Didn’t you guys, uhh, I don’t know… go extinct?

K’horr: I thought that was sorta established in like the past two stories that we’re not extinct… y’know, the one with Phantom and that criminal woman, and like, me and that Excalibur guy?

Supernova: What about the one where I was controlled by that Corrupt Substance alien?

K’horr: That happened?

Caelum: Okay, listen, I love fourth wall breaks as much as the next person, but i’m kinda… going to die in two days. Why do you even want to stop us from getting to that torch?

K’horr: Simple.

He would take out a bag and open it. Out crawled a tiny, four-legged scaly creature with adorable eyes.

Caelum: Aww…

Osore: Looks tast-

(Supernova would slap him)

K’horr: When Xarrania was about to be destroyed, we took as much of the wildlife as we could with us. However, they didn’t really fit in well on the Mothership, and the places where the others hid, didn’t bode so well for them either. Take it from a guy who’s been living in a village in the sewers with 16 other Xarranians. Whatever environment we’d put them in, they’d die out. But… this place… it’s perfect for them. The right temperature, no predators… but there’s one problem. That flame… it’s sorta killing them. I don’t know why.

Supernova: They are quite cute, but are we risking the death of a goddess just for these little guys?

K’horr: Yes.

Osore: That’s terrible.

K’horr would take out his lance.
K’horr: You got a problem with that?

Supernova would take out his scythe, and Caelum and Osore would take out their swords.

Caelum: Yes.

K’horr: Alrighty, then…

He’d point his spear at Caelum.

K’horr: Why don’t I stab you first? That’s what this whole struggle’s about anyways.

Osore: Oh, no. If anything, she’s the one we have to protect…

K’horr: …exactly.

Supernova would walk over to K’horr, and put his hand on his shoulder before he could do anything.

Supernova: Listen here. I’m sure there’s a way the two could coexist. We just have to find a dilem-

Before he could say another word, K’horr’s arm-pack-pincer thingies would light up, and smack Supernova in the head. He would drop down to the floor unconscious.

While Osore and Caelum tried to ponder what just happened, K’horr quickly flew away with the help of a pair of wings he may or may not have stolen off of Oblivion’s rotting corpse.

the cute creatures are more important
