The three of them appear in front of two golden gates. The sky is blue and the ground is white and fluffy like a cloud. "𝐎𝐡, 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐚! 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠!" Fenrir walks through the gates, two guards instantly pointing spears at him. "𝐎𝐡, 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐱! 𝐈'𝐦 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭~" He moves one of the spears out of the way with his pointer finger.

Icarus laughs. "FOᒪᒪOᗯ ᗰƐ, ᗰƐᒪOᗪƳ."

Melody giggles and keeps hold of Icarus' hand, looking around. "It's gorgeous.."

After a bit of conversing with the guards, Fenrir convinces them to let the three of them in.

They step into Arcadia, a large, golden city with 5 towers surrounding it.

Icarus follows after Fenrir, bringing Melody with him. "ᗯƐᒪᒪ? ᗯℎᗩƬ ᗪO ƳOᑌ ƬℎƖᑎƘ?"

"I-it’s... amazing..." She clings to Icarus' arm nervously, looking around, absorbing the sight into her memory.

"ᗯOᑌᒪᗪ ƳOᑌ ᒪƖƘƐ ƬO ᐯƖᔕƖƬ ᗰƐ ᗩᑎᗪ FƐᑎᖇƖᖇ'ᔕ ƬOᗯƐᖇ? ƖƬ'ᔕ ᑫᑌƖƬƐ ƬℎƐ ᗯᗩᒪƘ." Icarus asks.

"Sure! I like walking!!" Melody smiles at him, ecstatic.

Icarus smiles back, leading the three of them to a tall tower marked with purple.

"Why did they not want to let us in?" Melody asks as they walk.

"ᗰOᔕƬ ᒪƖƘƐᒪƳ ƖƬ'ᔕ ᗷƐᑕᗩᑌᔕƐ ᗯƐ ℎᗩᐯƐᑎ'Ƭ ᗷƐƐᑎ ℎƐᖇƐ Ɩᑎ ᑫᑌƖƬƐ ᗩ ᗯℎƖᒪƐ. ƬℎƐᖇƐ ᗩᖇƐ ᗰᗩᑎƳ ƖᗰᑭOᔕƬOᖇᔕ ᗯℎO ƬᖇƳ ƬO ᑕOᗰƐ Ɩᑎ."

"Oh, really?" Melody rests her head on Icarus' arm.

A feathery woosh is heard as one of Icaru’s wings swiftly wrap around Melody. "ᖇƐᗩᒪᒪƳ! ᔕO ᗰᗩᑎƳ ᑭƐOᑭᒪƐ ℎᗩᐯƐ ᑭᖇƐƬƐᑎᗪƐᗪ ƬO ᗷƐ ᑌᔕ. ƬℎOᔕƐ 'FᗩᒪᔕƐ ƖᗪOᒪᔕ' ƳOᑌ ᔕᑭOƘƐ OF."

"I see! Why do they pretend? Are normal people not allowed?"

"ᑎOᖇᗰᗩᒪ ᑭƐOᑭᒪƐ ᗩᖇƐ ᗩᒪᒪOᗯƐᗪ, ᗷᑌƬ ƬℎƐƳ ᑭᖇƐƬƐᑎᗪ ᗷƐᑕᗩᑌᔕƐ ƬℎƐƳ ᗯᗩᑎƬ ƬO ᒪƖᐯƐ ℎƐᖇƐ ᒪOᑎG ƐᑎOᑌGℎ ƬO ᗷƐᑕOᗰƐ ᗩᑎ ᗩᑎGƐᒪ ᒪƖƘƐ ᗰƳᔕƐᒪF. Ɛ᙭ᑭOᔕᑌᖇƐ ƬO ƬℎƖᔕ ᑭᒪᗩᑕƐ FOᖇ OᐯƐᖇ ᗩ ƳƐᗩᖇ ᑕᗩᑎ ᑕᗩᑌᔕƐ ƳOᑌ ƬO ᑕℎᗩᑎGƐ."

"Really? that's so cool!" Melody's eyes widen as she looks around.

"ƖƬ Ɩᔕ! ƳOᑌ'ᒪᒪ ᗰƐƐƬ ᗩᑎOƬℎƐᖇ ᗩᑎGƐᒪ Ɩᑎ ƬℎƖᔕ ƬOᗯƐᖇ ᗩᔕᗯƐᒪᒪ." They approached the door to it. "HƖᔕ ᑎᗩᗰƐ Ɩᔕ ᔕᑌᑎO."

"Suno? That's a cool name!"

Icarus knocks on the door to the tower.

A well-dressed man opens the door, his tailcoat almost reaching the floor. “𝙾𝚑, 𝚑𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘! 𝙸 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚠𝚘 𝚝𝚘𝚍𝚊𝚢." He looks down at Melody. "𝙸 𝚜𝚎𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞'𝚟𝚎 𝚋𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚊 𝚐𝚞𝚎𝚜𝚝. 𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚒𝚍𝚎, 𝙸 𝚕𝚞𝚌𝚔𝚒𝚕𝚢 𝚓𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚎𝚊!"

"𝐎𝐡, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐚!" Fenrir levitates off the ground, floating upside down into the tower door with a large grin.

Icarus giggles, leading Melody inside and up the stairs.

Melody giggles and stays with Icarus, looking around curiously. "Hi, Mr. Suno!"

Suno’s wings flap slightly as he follows the others. "𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘! 𝚆𝚑𝚘 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞?"

"My name’s Melody!!" Replies the deer girl.

"𝙼𝚎𝚕𝚘𝚍𝚢 𝚒𝚜 𝚜𝚞𝚌𝚑 𝚊 𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚝𝚝𝚢 𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎,” Suno says.

Melody giggles. "Thank you!! I like yours!!"

Roughly two days pass where Melody meets plenty more angelic entities, though they're not quite official angels yet. She also has homemade steak and watches Fenrir refuse to eat it in favor of Fancy Feast.

Melody is happy and giggly, her flower crown still as fresh as the day she met Fenrir. “This place is amazing!”

"ᗯƐ'ᖇƐ ᔕO Gᒪᗩᗪ ƳOᑌ ƬHƖᑎƘ ᔕO, ᗰƐᒪOᗪƳ! ᗷᑌƬ ᗰᗩƳᗷƐ ƖƬ'ᔕ ƬƖᗰƐ FOᖇ ƳOᑌ ƬO GO HOᗰƐ, ᗪOᑎ'Ƭ ƳOᑌ ƬHƖᑎƘ?" Icarus says.

“Oh, yeah! Shoot, I didn't tell Smores or anyone where I went-“ Melody says.

"ƬℎᗩƬ'ᔕ ᗩᒪᖇƖGℎƬ! ƳOᑌ ᑕᗩᑎ Ɛ᙭ᑭᒪᗩƖᑎ ᔕOOᑎ. FƐᑎᖇƖᖇ? ᔕℎᗩᒪᒪ ᗯƐ ᗷƐ ℎƐᗩᗪƖᑎG ᗷᗩᑕƘ ƬO ƐᗩᖇƬℎ?"

Fenrir nods, swallowing his cat food. ""𝐈 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐨!"

Suno smiles. "𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚎𝚎 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚊 𝚠𝚘𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚏𝚞𝚕 𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚍𝚊𝚢. 𝙸 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚎 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚐𝚊𝚒𝚗 𝚜𝚘𝚘𝚗."

“Thank you, you too!” Melody says.

The three of them are surrounded in a purple flash as they disappear yet again.
