3rd Nightmare || Deaging event

[ You might recognize those particular features, they do kind of stand out, but there's something very wrong here. Instead of ash grey skin it's nut brown. Instead of slim and shadowy it's solid and more heavily muscled. But the eyes, the eyes are still just as gold...if a little confused. ]

Alright, my armor I can see stealing, and selling off. That at least has some worth. But why in the name of the stars did you steal my clothes too?!

[ That's right kids. A very long time ago, before there was a Man in the Moon, a need for things like Guardians, and before fear took over a form of it's own and walked out into the world, there was a whole other story. This is not the broken general that became Pitch Black. More like the dumb knight that ended up in Kit and Orcelito's room naked because without shadowy powers he's got no clothes. At least Kit put a blanket over his naked bum. ]

I suppose I should be grateful my necklace was spared your pilfering, but leaving a man naked but for that is odd. At any rate I want my sword back. It's impossible to sell, so just give it back and I'll see to collecting the rest on my own.

[ And that's it. No threats. No tantrums. Not even grumbling. He's so nice about it, that it's hard to believe it's the same person. ]

[Orcelito is careful to stand up straight and return the nod – but no deeper than Kozmotis himself. He searches his memory for the name of that Tsar or group of knights. He hasn’t heard of either since coming to the Tree. (His memory is a bit scattered right now, though.) He regards the knight with respect, speaking in a smooth, articulate voice, even for a child.]

That is an impressive title, Sir Pitchner. I’m sure your Lord – ah Tsar – is most proud to have you in his service.

[This can’t really be Pitch though. The circumstances of his appearance were in line with Pitch’s custom of hiding under Kit’s bed, but clearly this man is different!]

If I may inquire, Sir, what is the last thing you remember before coming to consciousness in my home?

[As Kit has not returned yet, Orcelito figures he’ll make their… guest… comfortable in the meantime. Have a charming smile and more of that sweet, polite manner.]

I see. I’m afraid I don’t know the whereabouts of your equipment, but is there anything else you would like? I can get you a cup of water if you are thirsty.

[A pause as something occurs to him. It’s worth a try. He appears surprised, then somewhat abashed.] Oh, I forgot to introduce myself! I am Orcelito.

[ Hm. This fellow really is different. Orcelito watches him closely, looking for signs of deception. So far, he has seemed… remarkably innocent. ]

Yes, they are magic – or seem to be. Everyone who comes here is given wings in the form of a gemstone.

[ Orcelito pushes up his left shirt sleeve. There’s a bracelet made of fur there, with a dark gem woven into it. He touches his fingers to the stone and a set of green wings comes into existence behind him. He beats them gently, just enough to stir the air and show that they do indeed work, before folding them against his back. ]

The wings are only present while touching the gem. [ To demonstrate, he takes his hand away and the wings vanish. ]

You must be wearing your own gem right now. [ He’s not wearing a bracelet, but there is that locket… ] Perhaps it is on your necklace?
