Hob's POV:
Luma: hold on a sec, what do you mean somethings wrong with Pippet? Did he do something wrong?
Hob: not yet...
Luma: how do you know somethings wrong with him? Also, what do you mean "not yet"?
Hob: Earlier, I had a chat with an old friend, a really old friend.
Luma: and?
Hob: Well...they said something weird, which I did not get at first...then they gave me something.
Luma: what was it?
Hob: it was this...

Luma: what's that?Hob: pilot gave this to me earlier, she said someone wanted me to have this

Luma: what's that?
Hob: pilot gave this to me earlier, she said someone wanted me to have this. When I looked at it I saw pictures of these strange monsters...monsters that I've never seen before...but there was a handful of them that I recognize...
Luma: are they on the island?
Hob: no...there not like the beasts that we see every day here, they look bigger, scarier, and meaner. They are also definitely not shadow. But there is one that I recognize all too well because I've seen it before...in person...
Luma: what's there name?
Hob: I don't know...I only know what they look like.
Luma: okay...but still...what does this have to do with Pippet?
Hob: Let me show you..

Hob: This is the one.
Luma: what's that thing? It looks like a giant wraith.
Hob: That's because it is, and I was doing some research on a couple of other things my old friend gave me...
Luma: so...sense there isn't a name specificity for any of these..."things" what's the name of their species?
Hob:...inner demons.
Luma: Aren't those...mental illnesses?
Hob: yes...
Luma: so all these monsters are mental illnesses? Are they real?
Hob: The thing is...the Puppet master would know what it is, he is the one who made Pippet after all...but...
Luma: but what?
Hob: He won't wake up.
Luma: wait...your serious? Like...is he dead??
Hob: what? No of course not, he just hasn't woken up yet.
Luma: soooo....he's in a coma?
Hob: I would say that he's dreaming.
Luma: hey, I have an idea, why don't we both go to Pippet together and see how he's doing. Then we can judge if he's actually okay...
Hob: Alrighty then, but...he just wasn't acting like himself today...
Luma: mm...
Hob: I should also probably tell you what corruption is too, so you won't get confused.
Luma: confused on what?
Meanwhile...
Alenia's POV:
Pippet? Hello Pippet? Where are you? I have bin looking for the little fella for ages now, hopefully he didn't teleport some where off the island...I guess I should probably tell his...um..."dad". I walk into the Puppet masters room and see that he is still laying on his bed, when I call out to him he doesn't move or wake up, I try again and stills nothing.
Alenia: hey come on now wake up, I need your help...
...
I nudge his head and tap it, but nothing. He won't wake up.
Alenia: oh no what happened to you? How did this happen...
???: I have an idea.
Alenia: Hey who's there?
???: Look over here, outside the window.
I open up the window just a little and look outside, but I saw nothing.
Alenia: Who are you?
???: Oh, I'm just another one of Hob's friends.
Alenia: Oh? Another one you say..
???: Yeah, I think I know how to wake your friend up, but you need to be asleep first.
Luma's POV:
Hob and I are now making are way to the Academy, as quick as possible, this seems really bad...the corruption...it sounds so painful. But let's not assume the worst here we don't know that's gonna happen. Hob flutters over to an open window, but I don't follow. Instead I just go through the main entrance, it looks like classes just ended. Every wizard is packing their things and heading back to their rooms or their homes. I look around for Hob and see her behind the staircase, she gestured for me to come behind as well.
Luma: uhh...Hob? Why are you opening up that air shaft?
Hob: well, I do this a lot more often than you think, I'm going to show you Pippet. But we can't let him see us.
Luma: why not? This seems pretty sketchy...
Hob: I'm doing because of a little safety hazard...who knows what he'll do when we tell him about the...corruption...he could freak out really badly. So where just gonna check to see if it's okay to approach him.
Luma: in a vent?
Hob: yeah now let's go, we don't have all day.
I'm still not so sure about this idea, I mean I never went inside a vent just to "check" on one of my friends. But I follow Hob anyways, why? Well...I really don't know. It's rusty and a little cold in these air shaft vents, but Hob seems to know where she's going.
Luma: Do these all connect into one big vent?
Hob: uhh..I think they do...at some point...
I continue to follow her, trying to be very sneaky and quiet, but...uhhh...it's a little hard to keep quiet in here. As we pass by more air shafts, something else catches my attention, I crawl over towards a vent and peak inside of it. Through the small little wholes I see Pippet standing in a small hall way. He seems to be swaying nervously, and making worried noises as if he didn't know everything was gonna be okay or not...but then...I see his eyes...they were pitch black...like a hollow...and he had glowing white irises in them...those...those aren't his eyes.
Hob: hey what are you staring at?
Luma: ...
Luma: Come over here, I found something.
Pippet's POV:
Those aren't my eyes, those aren't my eyes!-! Why won't they wake up!? Oh what the heck is going on...this all started when I had that...that nightmare...Hob said all dreams have meanings but I didn't think she met it like that...! Unless...she knows what's going on...
Pippet: Hob? Are you in here?
I don't...hear an answer...she must have not come back yet...

she must have not come back yet
