Myir believed it important Crooks and the others on Skire understand their abilities. All creatures of Creators could evolve and become better, and Crooks were an obvious indicator that even CCCats could evolve and become something new. Yet their gods wanted them to be brought into their own unique prison? Why? Why should they have to suffer and be locked away for their progress? For their sense of individuality going even beyond CCCats? Myir could show the world that Crooks could bring about the change CCCats failed to and properly aid Skire in healing itself and protecting it from the potential dangers of human's absorbing-magic ability. Myir had a plan to revive magic even in the city of Uto, scatter humans from their dependency on the city, and make magical creatures feel safe in the city once again and show the others on Skire Crooks were no less powerful than their origin selves.

Halik believed that Crooks were punished by their kin close to them in roots, but that didn't mean they couldn't learn to give themselves new purpose. Halik was empathetic and understood why their existence could be scary. While many Crooks could wind up feeling helpless or hopeless of their time in the Alter World and learned to only rely on themselves, Halik believed in the ability to receive help from others and give help back. They believed with the aid of others who sought similar ideas that it could guide them on the right path to becoming another species among Skire and even potentially bring back old magic that existed even before wormlings came about. They wanted to show all on Skire that Wormlings were not the violent creatures people they thought they were, and could find those willing to stand up for peace on Skire, by learning and adapting to the new way of life and teaching many about lost and forgotten magic.

"I don't understand it..." He sighs, turning over his shoulder to glance at the partygoers in the distance, "why they'd want to celebrate, I mean, isn't there so much more we could be doing?"

"Seems like a waste of time," he mumbles. He turns to you and huffs, reaching a hand out in greeting."

"My dear friends, it is an honor to be here with you this evening of great celebration. I am Drent, a traveler and collector of trinkets and stories.

"As your file in among the crowd and make it inside a variety of colored glow sticks on necklaces are draped around your neck by friendly staff.

He smiles as people, CCCats, and Crooks alike all bear him the gifts they have brought. He shakes each individual hand, and you watch excitedly as your turn to give your gift approaches.
