Hoodie walked through the doorway of the decrepit old building. It wasn't much bigger than an storage room, but it would do. He sat on an old stool in the corner, as Skin-Taker swung the moldy door shut. "Let's not stay here longer than we need to, k?" He said. "This place reeks of death." Hoodie nodded, leaning back against the wall. "Let me get a bit of sleep first and we can go."
Noises.... Life? Yes. Someone was here. His body whirred to life, creaking slightly. A soft glow came from behind his eye, providing a dim glow to his room. Two... People. One was asleep. The other didn't notice him yet. He stood, the floorboards creaking beneath his weight. His joints twitched slightly, an annoying issue over which he had no control. The thin man turned at the noise, his large red eyes blinking in surprise. "Hoodie. Wake. Up." His voice was low and calm, as if he were dealing with just some animal. He would soon learn his mistake

"I take offence to being called a fairy and a thing." She said mischievously, eyes twinkling with laughter. "And you may approach, all of you. I - we - are not divinity, nor a goddess of some sort to walk in upon the Earth." Though we do sound suspiciously like one. Skye felt she needed to say that. Galadriel laughed inwardly.

Link walked slowly towards the woman, Navi close behind. He felt extremely annoyed at Quill for for his disrespect. Even if she had said she was not divine, she was still something of an entirely different level to them. He bowed to her. "My apologies lady Altariel. I was simply noting the similarities in your form to that of the Ancient Fairy of my world. I meant no offense." Navi fluttered around the woman. "Don't feel to bad Link. She gives of an aura similar to the fairy as well. Or perhaps the fairy gives of an aura like her?"
Hoodie jerked awake at Taker's words. He looked around, not noticing anything at first. Then he saw them. Two glowing eyes. He froze. Whatever it was it had to be at least seven feet tall. The eyes blinked, accompanied by the sound of whirring motors. "On three we move." He said, calmly and slowly. Taker nodded. "One... Two... Three!" They both shot towards the door, Hoodie noticeably slower. In the blink of an eye, something clamped on his throat, lifting him into the air. He was staring itno it's eyes. He was used to seeing monsters, but this thing. This was an abomination. The yellow fur was molding and stained red in places, especially the eye sockets. It grinned at him with a wide plastic smile. But that's when it got worse. With its other hand it began to tear at its upper jaw, pulling it up. Beneath the steel and wires lay a rotting corpse, crushed and mangled. The the corpse's eyes flew open, revealing ruined, rotting eyes. It mashed it's teeth at him, as it moved his face closer. He crude out, unable to contain himself, before feeling a sharp tug. He looked around. He was in the Strings! He was safe!

(Thought I'd make this clear: they're still Galadriel and Skye, they just act as a single entity, which is merged. They can become two again, but its complicated.)

4. It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

Oh?
Go dress up in rags. People would still think you were beautiful.

Skin-Taker paced nervously across the empty space. "What in Zalgo's name was that thing!? And people call us monsters..." He stopped his pacing to look at Hoodie. "You alright man?" He asked. Hoodie nodded slightly, still staring into the distance. He had been around monsters all his life. Stuff that would make you skin crawl right off and cry for its mother. But that thing. It had very nearly killed him. His mind was filled with ozzing eye sockets, gnashing teeth, and screaming. He knew the creature hadn't screamed outright, but touching it had caused foreign memories to invade his mind. Memories of darkness, screaming, blood and fire. He could only imagine that this was what Skin-Taker felt when he screamed. Absolute horror.
It stared at the empty space. Where has the man gone? WHERE? It growled viciously, smashing it's fist against the wall. The brittle wood crumpled beneath the force, letting sunlight stream through the hole. It stared out into the surrounding forest. Freedom.

Peter Quill and Rocket raccoon where in the bar section of the ship, both drunk.
"So I was thinking... Maybe I should say hi to my son..." Peter said as he lowered his glass of beer.
"You and your thoughts... I'll swing by, say what you tell me to say to him and maybe give him a weapon. You can't your too busy with life as a Spartox King and track down Mr. Knife." Rocket grunted. He had too much beer for now.
Didact watched Quill go. "Okay." He said, looking back at Atalriel. "I'm gonna guess that you two sharing each others attributes is a good thing." He muttered.
