For whatever reason, Glory hadn't immediately gone on the mission the Collector had given him. He had just kind of went home and let life go by for a while. He had done a lot of work and everything but his promise to the cloaked figure still hammered at the back of his mind. He couldn't just let this be. Like he had told Giggle after she had warned him, he kept his promises, no matter what.

He was flying low to the ground, searching for the dog that the Collector had shown him. He thought back to the statue he had created of him and searching the biggest room. Of course, there was no guarantee that this dog was even in here, he just simply went to Polaris as it was the central cave. Most people ended up here one way or another. For something that was, apparently, this important, he guessed that it would find its way to the room with the Spire.

As he flew he opened his beak and let out a sharp cry, trying to attract the attention of whatever was nearby. After another moment, he cried again. "Is there a black dog here? I'm looking for a black dog!"

Glory heard the voice and immediately changed his course. He turned himself, opening his wings wide to bank in a circle, and flew towards the Black Dog, which he spotted exposed on the ground. When he got close, he beat his wings hard to slow his course and stopped himself on a rock.

Yes, this was certainly the dog that The Collector had told him to find. Big and...black. The same shape, the same ears, the same droopy muzzle. He nodded and stepped forward.

"My name is Glory! I have been sent to retrieve an item you have in your possession. An orange stone of sorts. It is very important that it is returned to it's owner."

Glory gave a small nod in acknowledgement of the story. Of course, he was far too young to know about any of that and he had no idea if the Collector was even the stone's actual owner, but it was just a guess. "Perhaps my phrasing was incorrect. I do not know if this one owns it, but he simply says that he requires it and that it is important that he has it. He is called the Collector."

Glory thought back, wondering if there was any other information the strange hooded figure had told them, but it was just that - he was the Collector and he wanted the stone and he said it was important.

Glory nodded, understanding. "I know your hesitation - he is a strange fellow with a strange name but there is something about him that is important. It is hard to describe, but I will lead you to him."

He spread his wings and lifted himself into the air. He had no problem leading the dog to Canis instead of just taking the stone himself. If it would convince him to do this without force, it was alright with him.

Glory followed the dog for just a little ways before he stopped and set himself back on the ground, politely waiting for Black to come back with the stone. He spied the thing clutched in the dog's mouth and nodded back. This time when he opened his wings, he took off strongly and gained some altitude, but not too much that he was too far away from the dog. He turned towards the tunnel to Orion, which would lead them to Canis and took off at a pace that the dog could easily match.
