We were teleported to the forest. It was closer to the city than it was to the jungle.

  “...OOO!” My yell continued.

  I looked around and realized where we were.

  “No… Nonononono telepo-”

  Shade swiped the spear out of my hands “Torshik, no! We can’t teleport to Ashathink right now!”

  “We have to! She’s in danger! The mayor is an insane maniac!”

  “Torshik just calm do-”

  “NO! Why does she always have to be selfless?! Why can’t she just be selfish for once! She’s already gone through so much pain! Why can’t she have a break?!” I sobbed.

  Shade dropped the spear and pulled me into a hug and I sobbed into his chest.

  “Why can’t she be selfish…?” I repeated, still sobbing.

  “We’ll find some way to save her, pal. I promise.” He rubbed my back and blew on my face.

  “Knicatru…” I suddenly said.

  “What about him?”

  “The mayor’ll be after everyone we know and love. We have to find them before he does!”

  “You’re right… I heard he was going on a walk this morning on the floating island… let’s go!”

  We both rushed to the floating island, being careful to avoid the city.
