Alden The scenario, a clearing near some odd looking woods, a campfire, Alden and a couple other digimon sitting down by the fire, with their gazes set on a much larger, seemingly sleeping figure, casually talking about his state, and how heavy he was.
Dukemon X The crackling of the fire it what first gave away to Duke that he was... Somewhere. His memory foggy at best, the voices got loud, and he just remembered screaming in pain to try to get them to stop. Sadly, the whispers of Yggdrasil would never stop...

One day he would have to give in, but that day was not now and hopefully not any time soon. This was his home now...

He never wanted to go back there.

The next thing he started to make out was the voices, and they were not voices of Yggdrasil, but... strangers. His teal blue eyes slowly opened, with their gold flecks around the edges as he started to look to see who was here. Who has surrounded him. His vision was blurry. He felt-- alright? Mostly alright. The lack of food was killing him and he was unsure what he got himself into. A fight-- probably. Someone else wanting him dead.

He slowly shifts, and places his clawed, black metal hand on the ground. Feeling the soil under him, before he at last speaks. His voice carrying an exhausted rumble, "... Who are... All of you...?" He tries to shift again, "How-- How did I get here...?" His eyes close in a flinch of pain as he reaches up for his head. Yep-- there was the headache.
Alden The figures nearby seem small, and at least, looks rather familiar, with a torn wolf pelt on it's back, and the yellow tail beneath, wagging slowly. The trio do not even realize their visitor is waking up until it speaks!. The three go silent, glancing back, while Alden smiled and slowly got up, moving towards Duke. "It's me, Alden." he says softly, trying not to make sudden movements, noticing the confusion.
     The other two are new, one of them is a small black bear, three fingered 'hands' wrapped under several blue belts, and perhaps amusingly, was wearing a blue baseball cap (with the 'peak' aiming back, like cool kids do,) with 'bears' written in red. Next to it, a small, cream and green colored critter stood up, long, long ears tipped in three 'tips', a cute horn, and stubby limbs, looked at the knight curiously. "Are you sure this is safe? he seems confused." asked the bear.
Dukemon X The former Royal Knight slowly looks over at the bear digimon before he says softly, "... A bearmon?" He shakes his head softy, the blond strands coming out from behind his helmet move over his shoulder pauldron as he tries to at least sit up. "Alden?" He looks at Alden at last, before looking over at the other Digimon and then back to Alden once more. "... Yes.. I remember you. Golden's friend... right?" He asks as he touches the top of he helmet.

He winces in pain again, but starts to force it all back. Trying to focus on the three around him, before looking at the fire. "I must have... Passed out." He then goes to force himself to stand up at his full height of seven foot two. "Thank you three for taking me... here. Where-ever here is." He looks around trying to get his bearings.

"... So much of the Multiverse has changed..." He says softly, "You think after seeing two homes nearly destroyed..." He tsks and crosses his arms over his chest. Perhaps in even silent frustration at himself, before he whispers softly. "... What the hell have you been doing with your life till now...." He blinks, realizing he is somewhat talking to himself and gets a sheepish look in his eyes. "Excuse me, I have... Been traveling alone for some time. Having company again is... strange to me."
Alden Alden tries his best to look calm, waiting under the digimon sits before approaching, "Are you ok?, I carried you back to my digital world... I figured we might be safer here." he says, before nodding, "I am!, you helped me a while ago, I am still very grateful for that, and so are the Sovereigns." he says softly. "We have food if you want, and some water.". The whispering makes the digital hybrid to tilt his head, but shakes it at the apology, "No worries!".
     The two digimon wait a few moments, before slowly moving closer, "I'm Bearmon, and he is Terriermon." says the 'cub', pointing to the long eared digimon, the two bowing a bit, "Alden asked us to come to keep an eye on you in case something happened, you seemed restless."
Dukemon X Duke listens to all three of them, he remains fairly silent as he closes his eyes. Just listening, trying to gather his own thoughts and toss out any foreign ones. "If I had something to give you three, I would." He opens his eyes once more. "Sadly, I have nothing to give but my gratitude."

His arms lower down to his side, "But I will be fine otherwise. As for food and water, I'd be grateful, but you have already done enough for me." He says placing out his hand a bit. Though his eyes looks over the place once more. "... How is your world fairing with the changes? I wish I could have helped more... But my inner demons do... Not make it easy for me to help."
Alden The other two move around to get food, while Alden gets the water, handing Duke a large glass to drink from, "You don't owe us anything." he says softly, "You helped me and my world a lot already." he says, his tail wagging rapidly. The 'food' turns to be some kind of 'leg' of ham or similar, well cooked!. "I hope you like this, it's all we had on hand.".
     The question gets a nod, "Oh, we were thankfully not really affected much, we are kinda disconnected for the most part, until recently we tried to stay on our side, and stop others from coming in, well... that was the policy. So far the only one really affected is me, having lost my maps and everything, might make my new position a bit harder."
Dukemon X Dukemon X kneels down to accept the water and the meat, before he once more just, sits down instead of towering over the smaller children digimon. He eats and drinks, somehow, and just listens to them once more. Duke eventually mms softly, as he finishes off the meat before he speaks up, "I'm glad to hear this world is safe then. Though you really should not fear the Multiverse." Duke adds as he looks at the bone.

"While there are people to fear, there are just as many willing to be your allies." He looks at the three of them. "There is also a sanctuary out there." He studies the bone a bit closer, before twirling it between his clawed fingertips. "Which at first... my plans were to ignore it... stay far from it... but... Maybe in being here... seeing you three... and your kindness..."

He stops twirling the bone and sighs softly. "It... reminded me of something... Or someone... who has been lost to their own self and... needs to do what is right, instead of self loath."
Alden The Gabumon smiles, moving to sit near Duke, (heck, he'd sit on hsi lap, he is a friendly guy), "I know, I was stuck in the multiverse for a while at first... especially since back then the Sovereigns were kind of... anti human and anti.. visitors, thankfully, that passed." he says with a grin, stretching a bit, "I met several great people, and I have been tasked with being a diplomat of sorts... find allies, get people to visit and learn... your help against the D-reaper last time was a big factor, along the others that came." he says softly.
     The other digimon seem to go embarassed at being called kind, "You say that because you never had to compete for food with chubby bear here." teases the Terriermon, "Yeah, I am the chubby one." is the answer, poking the Terriermon's belly. Still, the sillyness stops quickly, "Sanctuary?" they asks, while Alden tilts his head, "Someone lost?"
Dukemon X Duke chuckles as the kids tease one another. Oh the stories he could tell when he was young, but then they ask him questions about what he spoke on and simply twirls the bone again in idle thought. "A place of safe haven." He says in a calm tone. "You see, where I come from... My world is at war... And many of our people have been... cast out. No longer accepted by the new world order... And while it is out there in the Multiverse, they new order has hidden itself from all."

The Dukemon X shakes his head as he stops twirling the bone, closing his eyes in deeper thought. "This has left thousands homeless and sometimes struggling to survive. Some blame the Royal Knights... and for good reasons. Others blame the X-Digimon-- and the X-Digimon blame those who are not." He chuckles, though not with joy. "It is a mess."

Duke rubs the back of his neck, "Then the Multiverse shifted and what communities there were trying to sort themselves out... Now have been scattered further apart. This means even more chaos... But there is one place that has held itself together... And I've ignored their plead for help. Time... and Time again."

The former Royal Knight crushes the bone at last in his hand, turning it to powdered dust, "All because I've been afraid... Fearful of... A dark force that follows me that is... Slowly winning." He then tosses the ashes into the fire. "And by doing nothing... I will leave behind nothing... And that is no way for a Royal Knight, even if no longer part of his station, to be remembered." It was deep. He knew it was and then he laughed a bit.

A smile in his eyes, "But you kids probably don't want to hear the troubles of an old soldier, if anything. I'm... Glad our paths have crossed. You reminded me of something to fight for and I needed that."
Alden Alden listens intently, tilting his head, "Well... those digimon are welcome to stay here, I am quite sure the will be welcome, as logn as they want to stay." he offers, "And I have the authority to say so." he nods. The mention of a mess makes him sigh, "That sounds a bit like how digimon here felt about humans at one time." he says softly, "Digimon blaming humans for troubles, and viceversa.". "X digimon, eh? i think you mentioned I was one of those?".
     The Bear pads closer, and pats the Knight's shoulder firmly, "I can understand, prefering to do nothing, you can't... mess up anything if you stay away, won't risk hurting anyone, if you lose control." he says softly, "But you are a Knight, and they are supposed to be good guys, help people, right?" he says. "It's good to hear you want to help others.". The bear sounds very wise for some reason, the Terriermon watching with his jaw open, "What?, were was that last time there was trouble and I needed you to talk me out of problems?".
Dukemon X "I wouldn't ask for this place to take them in or any other." Duke explains as he finishes off the water and goes to stand back up. "Besides, the location is... already established. I just have to follow the call. See what I can do to make it safer."

He looks at the three once more. "And yes.... the Royal Knights are protectors of Digimon... If people... though..." He looks away. "... We are not without our faults... and we... Can stray when misguided in our beliefs for what it means to be a Royal Knight."

Duke looks back at them once more. "Thank you again." He then activates the Agris before aiming it in a direction. With a beam of light, a network tear happens, as a portal is created. "If I do find the location, I'm sure you will hear of it. Maybe your world can help... When the time is right." And starts to make his way for the created Network Portal.
