The Prince opens a tree like a door. "Wherever you wish, magician."
'Wherever I wish? Well, had a hometown a long time ago, or somewhere at least they might not remember me. Hamelin is a no-go, they ran me out of that place on a misunderstanding'
"Your hometown, then?" He holds out a hand to help Feuerstein up into the door, which he holds open for the musician. "Mind the insects. We do this with their permission." Behind the door is a black precipice.
'Yes. On the Old Crescent road. It will be good to be back'. He steps towards the precipice, staring into the void

His foot falls on the road. His vision clears, and he stands exactly where he specified, right in front of a tree. The Prince follows close behind, shutting the door. "Is this all you desired?"

'That was what was being offered, wasn't it? A trip away from this place, away from the Sugarplum Queen?'. Feuerstein looks around, surveying the old town square, a tavern called The Sunbeam, and the rickety old indoor market where he spent so many of his days.
"My reasons are my own... and rather difficult to express." He leans to look behind the cadaverous hatter. "But as it stands, you are safe."
“If being safe means not being your friend, I need to put myself in some more dangerous situations.”
"I don't believe I get your meaning." He sits back down.
“Everyone, mortal and immortal alike needs friends. Why do you think the gods made their parthenon? And I think you need a friend too. Someone who doesn’t need to worry about the inherent danger of being close to you.”

"Consider this a gift." The Prince bows and sweeps off his hat. "Should there be an emergency, you may call for me. Are you satisfied for now, my musical acquaintance?"

He looks the corpse in the eyes (as well as a faceless being can). He leans forward slightly more than usual, examining those cloudy pools.
"You are perhaps right." He looks at the ground. "Are you making an offer?"

"No, thank you." He looks up at the night sky, reading the stars. "I wish you good fortune, and may the gods be with ye."

"Ha. The one who makes the proposal sets the terms." He looks up. "I am no trickster."
“But you could have been. Now, a formal deal seems rather unnecessary for the relationship I hope ours grows into. But what friends could we be if you do not know my name! I am Voyd, lover of gold, magic and all the colors of the rainbow.”

"Ah, I see. How do you feel about mold, friend Voyd?" He holds out a hand. Different colors and textures of fungus begin to grow through the blackness. "Your skin is ripe for decay."

The Sugarplum Queen is there. Gardziel is snapping at her despite missing all four limbs, which are scattered around the room. She clutches an unconscious Typhon by the throat, and immediately holds him out as a shield. Helianth can see that, for some reason, his modifications stopped working halfway through an attack. "Well now, took you long enough. I thought I'd have to start severing heads."
The wretched flower is outraged, its flames burning brighter and fiercer, but it doesn't attack- not yet, at least. "State your business with me, and leave my associates alone. Then we can talk." It keeps its firearm aimed at the Queen's heart, staring daggers at her despite not having eyes.
"No, I don't think I will. I've come to make a proposal, and you will listen or I'll throw this rodent through your main body. And trust me, the force imbued will destroy both of you." She walks closer, pressing Typhon's face against the weapon. "I'm going to be taking over the Autumn Country. You can either join me, or you can try to kill me. I'm good either way, but I'd rather have you as a subordinate than a foe." She pauses and listens. "That idiot scientist is coming. You have one minute before he gets here, at which point I'll kill him, the jerky man, and this rat."
*Thank you for your patience!*
Helianth's flames burn even brighter and hotter for a while, its anger boiling over as it stares right at the Queen... it puts away its weapons, sighing. "...Fine. You win. Just let them live and I can heal them." It is clearly not at all happy about any of this, its flames still burning hot as molten metal on a summer's day. It holsters the Solar Obliterator in a notch along a metal cord it incorporated into its stem.

She smiles and tosses Typhon to the ground behind her. "See? Wasn't that easy? One of my advisors said that monsters were hard to tame, but you seem pretty simple."
She sits down on Gardziel's bed, kicking the limbless owner across the room and leaning back. "Now, while I'm waiting for the war to begin, I want to know what you want from the Autumn Country. As a baron or whatever the hell we'll call you, you'll be in charge of large swathes of land. What do you intend to do with them?"

He grips the rotting flesh. The fungus grows all over it, bolstering and coloring the cadaver with an entire rainbow of decomposers. "Now that's beauty."
