The portal that Niko and Blackfell were thrown into was surging with uncontrolled power; it was unstable, as it was rare for a portal to open between Oasis and another world. The angel could feel the fluctuating energies, and she held Fell close to her, curling her enormous dark wings around them like a feathered shell as she felt the pulsing energies.
It felt like forever that they were hurled through it, but in reality it was only a moment. A loud whip-crack burst in their ears, and they were hurtling though a hole of sunlight, crashing onto the ground in a small cloud of dust, sliding for a few feet before coming to a stop.
Fell was shaking. Niko was pretty much out cold from the shock, so he carefully unwrapped her arms from him, shaking her shoulder before looking up just in time to see the whirling violet and black mass that was the portal disappear with a snap. Revealing a stranger standing behind it, watching them.

Fell heard the man say his name, his gold eyes narrowing warily now. Their bout with Chrysalis was making him cautious of any stranger; after what he did to his mother, anyone who knew him without him being aware of it deserved suspicion. Plus the fact the man didn't seem exactly... Human. Granted, he and Niko weren't either, but still.
He braced himself, sitting on his knees, toes curled, ready to spring up if need be. His hand was behind his back, fingers barely touching the hilt of the dagger tucked in his pants. Fell would be ineffective in a fight, but he could still try. The raven spared a brief glance for his mother, laying on the ground, her dark hair a halo around her face.
"Who are you?" The child asked, his gaze turning back to the man who witnessed their return.

Fell frowned at the person, Vast, who seemed confused, surprised, in wonder... He couldn't tell what Vast was thinking, though he had already confused Fell.
"Not a stranger if you know their name." The boy said cautiously, though Vast's question surprised him. "Gaia, I guess..." He said, hesitating. Vast didn't seem like a bloodthirsty-bent-on-destroying-heaven-evil-demon, but you can never tell. Chrysalis had looked human enough.
"Why don't you know?" Fell asked, taking a step back, while still balancing on his toes, and sliding a hand under his mothers side, trying to lever her up into a sitting position. She was a small woman, but she was still twice Fell's size, at least, so he was having some difficulty.

He had no clue what Vast was talking about, but he was guessing maybe he was slow or something, had something wrong with his head maybe. Fell didn't quite understand it, but so far Vast had made no move, so he put his full attention to his mother, hooking his little arms under her arms and slowly dragging her up, her torso leaning back against his little frame.
"C'mon, mom, open your eyes..." He murmured softly, keeping one hand holding her up, using the other to lightly slap her cheek, the sound of flesh on flesh loud in the relative quiet of where ever they were. He looked up again, to see Vast muling over the word "Gaia" apparently, looking almost as if he, too, had just been dumped here.
"How did you know my name?" Fell asked, raising his voice slightly to make sure he was heard over Vast's murmuring.

Vast continued to watch the pair. His blank, wondering stare might have been considered...cute, if not for the unnerving intensity. Why was he here again? Oh, right, the power surges.
"I know your name," he stated. "It comes from you, in the air." If this person is not a stranger, then it must be okay to answer the questions.
Then again, the reason he same here in the first place is no longer valid, and the two beings hold no interest to him, as of now. Blackfell might have, under less extreme circumstances. He'll find out the next time they meet.
"There is nothing else here," Vast said out loud. "I'll be going then," he added as he turned away. Maybe he can find Liet or Shen this time.
