2 Separation?

Ruby is still processing what's happening. Am…. Am I in heaven?. After a brief look at Randy, Ruby immediately retracts that statement. "NOPE, I'm in hell" after a long awkward moment, Randy trying to break the ice, walks over to the gang and explains the situation. "So yeah, We're all dead because of this ten-year-old's mistakes." The group had the most confused look on their face. After a good minute of processing what Randy just said, Ruby starts to speak. "So, ur telling me that you KILLED us, brought us to this infinite void where this twelve-year-old is sending us to some random world because you wanted us to'' Randy interrupt "she's ten." Ruby, getting a bit irritated, snaps back, "Yea, that doesn't matter; what matters is that: you killed us without consulting with us first. "That's pretty inconsiderate of you, Randy." Randy, getting confused about why he seems annoyed, says, "I'm a bit confused on why your mad, Ruby. I brought you to a world that I'm sure all of you wanted. our old world was boring, basic, mundane. We all had an already planned out path. You succeed and live a rich lifestyle with a corrupt government, or you fail and constantly struggle to make ends meet. plus, none of that matters anyway because guess what, buddy, I already killed you; your past lives are most likely gone forever. Right Rethrea?" after not receiving a response, Randy Repeats himself." Right.... "Henry looked shocked the entire time, finally mustered enough courage to say something and blurted out, "Wait, so there's a way back!?." overwhelmed by joy, he falls to his knees ``thank god." Rethrea walks over to henry and, in a sweet, calming voice, "Oh f*ck no, y'all dead dead. like what did you think this was mortal, a vacation? Once you die, you go to the place y'all heaven or if you're unfortunate enough to what you humans call hell, and if by some chance you're lucky like your friend pocket rocket over there," she takes a deep let out a deep sigh "you get to go to another life. "After hearing all of this, Henry falls into a trance-like state. Feeling that the mood has taken a beating, Randy walks over to Henry and puts his hand on his shoulder. "heyy buddy-." Henry, blinded with rage and despair, tackles Randy onto the floor and starts to throw a barrage of punches. "RANDY, WHY DO YOU CONSTANTLY F*CK WITH PEOPLE'S LIVES. RUBY DIDN'T WANT THIS. I DIDN'T WANT THIS. I HAVE A FAMILY, RANDY, A BROTHER TO TAKE CARE OF. A LIFE AHEAD OF ME. YOU HAD A LIFE AHEAD OF YOU" Los hasn't stayed silent seeing this tries to walk over to intervene but gets stopped by Ruby. "He's got a point. Let him have this; Henry is in the right here" Henry breaks into tears. "Why, Randy, why are you so selfish? Do you realize how much pain you caused us! You're always doing this, dragging people in your crazy a$$ adventures without asking them first. Yeah, most of them were fun, but this is too far." Henry, going in for another punch, gets interrupted by the goddess, "Alright, that's enough; this fight was fun at first. Still, it's starting to get annoying to watch. continue your bickering elsewhere." Rethrea raised her arms, and a blinding light engulfed the room to "see y'all whenever," and as suddenly as they arrived, they vanished. afterward, the light dissipates. Randy opened his eyes to see a sacred landscape with a seemingly endless luscious forest. towering snow-covered mountains that stretched into the horizon, roaring waterfalls cascading down vine-covered Cliffsides into whiny rivers that reached further than the eye could see, streams that glistened like a thousand shining stars. Seeing all this almost made Randy forget that he was thousands of feet in the air and falling "HOLY SH!T" panicking. He flailed around, trying to grab anything to stop himself from falling, but failing horribly, mainly because he's 1000FT in the air. After realization, he redirects his attention to finding a way not to die. He realizes that his outfit has changed instead of his casual clothes from home, a black hoodie and navy jeans. He's now in a dark hide long sleeve jacket with padding on the shoulders and elbows, has black fingerless gloves, and brown hide pants held up by a leather belt with a golden buckle. And classic military-like boots. "Oh sh*t, Ig, I'm a whole isekai protagonist now! That goddess went all out on this" checking the pockets, Finding a paper with a weird symbol. Inspecting the paper, he finds a note on the back reading, "here's a little present, jackass throw it and say "GALE STREAM" from your goddess" hesitant at first, he sighs, "well, I've got no choice, I'm outta options," he takes a deep breath and throws the paper "I swear if this kills me imma haunt that ten-year-old from heaven…. Gallllle Stream!!!!" The slip of paper stops before him and starts to glow and pulsate bright teal. Randy is shocked at what he sees, for this is the first time seeing a spell. However, this feeling is a very short-lived cause suddenly, a herculean gust of wind starts to blow. "what the FUUUUUUUUUUU*KKKKK." Randy gets blown to what seems like hours northward. "BRO, WHAT'S GOING ON? I WANNA GO HOME...…" after several minutes of being blown in the wind, Randy starts to talk to himself out of boredom, "hm I strangely feel a lot lighter this, the feeling might be from blowing in the wind for long. Still, I feel oddly more energized than before," Randy pauses and thinks. "sighh, I wonder where Los is. I didn't see him falling with me earlier…. What if he already fell to his death?!." Randy, feeling a bit anxious, reassures himself. "Nah, he's fine; there's no way in hell we would end up dying on our first day, plus Los is smart and probably found a way to survive. Right?" After thinking about where his friend might be, he slaps himself, "He's fine, Randy, plus you've got your problems to deal with like when is this stupid spell is gonna wear off" without any sign of the wind stopping and feeling a bit sleepy he passes out. Dreaming, Randy appears in an open field drained of Color with a path headed towards a tree with glowing teal leaves. For some reason, this tree calms him, but this calm feeling soon turns into dread as the leaves on the tree turn into an inky black substance flowing down its trunk. scared, he jumps back from the tree, and his eyes lock on the creature that seems to emerge from the substance.The ink covered creature took a form resembling an owl with glowing teal eyes and, in a groggy voice, speaks to him, "you *wheeze* you are quite particular *wheeze* your aura seems *wheeze* Otherworldly…..hmmm you are one with quite the potential; nonetheless, you'd be a fun one to mess with, I enjoy seeing how you deal with my xiorth(curse) the creature then sores up into the air and swoops into Randy pushing him back. scared, he attempts to scream, but nothing comes out. Instead, he vomits the all-black liquid. flinging to his knees, he notices that his left eye is tearing up and his vision in that eye fades to black. frantically trying to wipe off the mysterious substance. He notices his veins turned black, and a striking pain envelops his body. Attempting to scream, nothing comes out but the black liquid. but this time it's different because. it isn't stopping. what seems to be gallons of this liquid starts to pour out of every orfs of his body. The liquid starts to fill his lungs, preventing him from breathing. it starts to pour out of his eyes, taking his ability to sleep. going insane from the pain and the loss of his vision, he claws at his face begging for this nightmare to stop.
