I want to learn more about this thing!
Daniel: Okay! What do you want to know? I will ask it.
Hmm...
Why is he so big and scary?
Daniel: ((My buddy wants to know why you are so big and scary?))
Hurgh'blrgh: ((Huh? My form is my form. Ask the child why he seems/appears tiny and feeble.))
Daniel: Hurg wants to know why you look tiny and feeble.
What? I'm normal!
Daniel: Hehe! Looks aren't everything, buddy! What should we ask next?
Uhm...
When I came out Hurg wasn't out here, then all of a sudden he poofed in front of me! How did he do that??
Daniel: ((My buddy asks, how did you come out of nowhere? There was nothing when we left our house.))
Hurgh'blrgh: ((....I am sensitive to activity involving guardians/sponsors. Without a designated form/Example object I can be in all places and see all things. This will change once my designated form/desired appearance is decided.))
Daniel: ((Huh? That word has three meanings?))
Hurgh'blrgh: ((Yes, some words have several different/conflicting meanings/ideas all at once. Such is Old tongue.))
Daniel: Hurg says that in this scary form of his, he can be anywhere in the blink of an eye, and he is very good at noticing us. This is because we are what he calls "Guardians".
Ohhh, okay.
Daniel: He also says that you get to decide how he looks.
I do??
Daniel: That's right! Anything else?
Hmmmm... This place we're in... What is this? It feels sad and lonely... But it's also very pretty and relaxing... I feel all kinds of things!
Daniel: ((My buddy wants to know what this place is?))
Hurgh'blrgh: ((Ahh, You are in the Land of Shards and Freedom. Quite specifically the region known as Shatter-dust dunes.))
Hurgh'blrgh: ((We are actually underground/buried. There is another region overhead, that is where the dust and skylight originates.))
Hurgh'blrgh: ((There are several other regions as well to the East and to the West.))
Hurgh'blrgh: ((These areas are not very well lit and may be dangerous/Lucrative.))
Daniel: Hurg says we're underground. This is called the shatter-dust dunes. There are three more other places we can go to besides this one.
Okay.
Daniel: The whole land is called the land of shards and freedom. If you don't mind getting poked by shards, we can be free in this world!
Anything beats our room.
Daniel: Now you're talking!
Hurgh'blrgh: ((If the boy wishes, he may give me a new name/handle. My name/curse and form are my own, but it is the duty/protocol of the Realm attendant/sponsor cultivator to guide/cultivate the guardian/sponsor that appears in my/our realm/vessel.))
Daniel: ((.... So many confusing words...))
Hurgh'blrgh: ((Old tongue also is not the preferred/optimal language of denizens in this reality/framework.))
Hurgh'blrgh: ((Once given a designated form/desired appearance I will be better able to commune to/translate the boy's tongue.))
Hurgh'blrgh: ((This process is called "Bonding/Assimilating".))
Hurgh'blrgh: ((I will still be fluent in Old tongue, but it will not be my primary language. It may also come out from time to time as I adjust/reorder.))
Hurgh'blrgh: ((I trust/believe you will provide translations/honesty when the situation demands.))
Daniel: ((I will/may!))
Hurgh'blrgh: ((.... Why did you use...))
Hurgh'blrgh: ((Nevermind/carry on.))
What are you guys talking about?!
Daniel: Relax buddy, I'm translating for you.
Daniel: Hurg says that now that you're here you get to decide what happens next.
Daniel: Hurg can be renamed and given a new form. Whatever you want!
Oh wow..!
Daniel: Do you want to give him a new name?
Hmm... He kinda looks like a doggy. I've always wanted a pet.
I want to name him something cute but close to his name too.
How about... Herbert!
Daniel: I will tell him!
Daniel: ((My buddy thinks your new name/handle should be "Herbert"!))
Herbert: ((It is so.))
Daniel: What about his looks?
Well, he tried making fun of me for being tiny and feeble.
So I want the same to be for him!
Daniel: Hehe, alright!
Daniel: ((My buddy recalls you saying he was tiny and feeble. He wants you to be the same!))
Herbert: ((..... It is so.))
...!

Herbert's form twists and constricts on itself until all that reminds is a cute version of his former self!

Oh yeah! Doggy!
Herbert: ...... H-hello there.
Oh! You can talk too??
Herbert: .... Information... too much....
Herbert: ......
Herbert: Oh. There we go.
Herbert: I've learned enough to make sense to you now.
Herbert: Please, before we continue allow me to accompany you. I will guide you.
Daniel: Me too, me too!
Haha, of course you can come with me!

Daniel and Herbert joined your party!

Daniel is your imaginary friend! He appears as just a silhouette so he cannot be hurt physically or fight himself, but he can channel his feelings through you and act as a second turn in combat! If you are hurt Daniel will take the damage instead until he's had enough.

Herbert is the Realm attendant of the land of shards and freedom. There's more to him than meets the eye! He also is big enough to support you on his back for faster travel.



You stare off into the distance... Endless dunes of shattered glass in seemingly every direction. You feel you could walk for miles and never get further from your rock.

I want to explore but it looks so dreary out there.
Herbert: Watch your step, Pal.
Hm?
Herbert: Down there is glass shards. You will hurt yourself if you walk through the dunes.
Oh!! That's not good...
Herbert: This rock we're on... It's no ordinary rock.
Herbert: It's one giant slab of Black creation stone. You are quite lucky, this rock can aid in your travels.
Herbert: Only thing is, it's quite difficult to break a piece off.
Herbert: Should you manage you can make some footwear to keep you safe.
Herbert: Alternatively, you can hop on my back and I can support you. Which will you choose?

1. Find a way to use BCS to make shoes.
2. Ride Herbert.
