"See ya later," Kermit said as he started walking towards the docks. He quietly asked Lyla, "So, the trip there gonna be long or short?"
"Ten minutes," the hyena said while unfastening the boat. "They like their privacy, plus that part of the island is very fruitful and has good spots that make for great training camp. Some of them may be a little...snotty. But they're overall a nice bunch. So, what do you like?"

"Don't forget about me dear," she said, walking the three of them to the spot indicated.
"We're ready," Amber said to Hubert, "And please and thank you."
A whisp of wind, a whirl of clouds, and back was Dormongard the Titan-God...Only that this time he was in bipedal form, and was wearing a nice jacket, tie, and pience-nez. In his left paw, he was keeping an open, unnamed book as big as a square.
The gigantic dragon adjusted the glasses on his snout before browsing through the pages.
"Now, where was it? Oh, yes. Sorry, as I told you already, it's been a long time since i did this.
"Beloved, by your own names and by the power said names hold, do you promise at my presence that you shall be faithful to each other just as you shall be faithful to me and to the people of this island? Answer adding your names, please."

"What is it?" He said, stepping forward towards Janus cautiously.
RandomGeekNamedBrent wrote:"What's wrong?" Buster asked worried, things running through his mind of what the "not again" could mean. the Hunter? the ghost lions? the ***** who created the hunter... no, he was gone. but so was the hunter, right? and hubert said the lions wouldn't be an issue. was this something he didn't remember, or even know about?
Janus wasn't even listening to them. He only saw that the kid...
"No shadow. he has no shadow. He is--" and then his eyes ran to the stained windows.
Sunset.
His slit eyes widened.
The green beam!
The world around him became pitch black. Everything else, everyone else, was gone. Just like...then.
"Please, forgive me," said a discorporated voice...before a pulsing, glowing orb appeared in front of the Czech wolfdog.
"I didn't know where to go. They are following me, they want to *eat* me. And I saw you. You have a curse, something, I saw you. Please, help me!"
Janus gulped. he was free. yes, he had been cursed, he had paid for his 'crime' of loving a jerk who had all but killed him. he had spent most of his life sharing his body with an aggressive entity who had done...things, while taking over Janus' body.
never again. Never again, never--
"Imma not hurte ya, believe me! I know da Huntah, I know he wasn't evil at hearte! He sufferede even more dan you did..." The orb danced around Janus, tendrils of light touching him...
But Janus was now more worried about what appeared in the dance of shadows and light all around him! it was like watching a series of flashes, and every time an image appeared, it showed fangs, claws, angry, very angry snouts and eyes that promised endless horrors...
While the glowing orb sounded really desperate. Janus had a precise impression of someone young, someone....like him. Not the Hunter, the Hunter was so filled with rancor, while this one was--
"Please trust me! Now. No time, no time! My name is Haq! I will explain you! But please take me, help me! Dey don't get living ones! Please oh please I wasn't prepared..."
Janus felt tears swelling in his eyes, stinging them. Somehow, at heart, he felt this strange presence was true, but...but what would happen if he accepted it, if---
And all of a sudden, his mind was clear. Like that one time he had fallen into a bad depression, had nurtured bad, bad thoughts... What had his mom said, then?
"Janus, dear. if you'll surrender now, you'll never know what could have been. if you give up, no one will be there for you, later. Life was very hard on you, my sweet pup. But you made it, you're here, and you know you really don't want to surrender. So, just stop being afraid, take things as they come, and you'll carry on..." "...without fear," he said, as if she was just there with him.
Life couldn't break him. He could make through this one. Like Hubert said ever so often, Fate wasn't to be deceived nor fought. Don't fight it, adapt to it!
The presences were so close now. Janus could almost smell their hostility, their rancor, their bloodlust.
But that didn't matter now.
he had to save a life, just as a spirit had helped him back then!
And the wolfdog's paw grabbed the glowing orb. The darkness roared with frustration, as the orb changed shape, becoming like a liquid, a stream that ran all over his limb, and from there to his chest, his head, every part of his body.
And then the darkness disappeared. Janus was on his knees, panting hard.

After a brief discussion, Arina and Ilya decide that the family should remain living in the hotel where they're close to medical care for when the baby arrives.
Gintama slapped the cats hard on their backs.
"Now that's the spirit! As for the city, well, wonder apparition or not, it surely didn't kill anyone, and to me it qualifies as mostly harmless. But I'd say it's also time for a nice dinner. What will you eat?"
