The dawn grows overhead, Limoned's tentacles thudding along the ground for him to get there on time.
I have to get there I have to get there I have to get there-BOOM!
"Farrow! What the hell??" Limoned exclaimed, lying on the ground.
"Hey, Limoned! We found two of the children, they were in a hole in a massive tree." He says, dismounting from Lola's back, two young Makaneans peering from behind their mother.
"Okay...What happened to the other one?"
Lola sinks her head in disappointment. "We think they were taken by the Syrill. We couldn't find him." Her voice drips with grief, her face strong for her children.
Farrow and Limoned look at each other, saddened by the circumstances. They knew what she knew. He was probably dead by now.
"Mana, where is Molly? My hooves are killing me!"
"Yeah, Mana, where's Molly?"
"Lukas. Spike. Keep calm. We are about an hour's walk from Disturbia. It won't be long, I promise. Come, mount my back, Farrow."
Farrow balks slightly at the outright request, his mind deep in the gutter from yesterday's escapade. After a moment, he snaps back to reality, knowing that horses were a staple of human travels long ago. Only centaurs were much faster and hardier than any horse. He takes her offer again, having presented the idea to begin with, and mounts her back.
Farrow, Lola, and the two small Makanean boys head off ahead of Limoned.
Meanwhile, Limoned puts on a green cloak and slips through the dense trees like a monkey.
*******In Disthrbia*********
Farrow arrives in Disturbia with Lola and the two children.
He walks up to the sect gate again, knocking on the door.
The Grand Master rushes to the door. He throws it open, nervous.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Grand Master! We found the girl's mother and two of her siblings."
"Two? There's another? Molly only told ne about two." The Grand Master asks, curious.
"She doesnt get along with Spike, so she pretends he doesnt exist," Lola explains.
Molly calls out the door. "Mana?"
"Oh! Molly!" She calls back.
"Come in, then." The Grand Master moves out of the way and the trio runs excitedly into the door, happy to be reunited with their fourth family member.
Meanwhile, while Farrow is still standing at the door, Limoned drops down from a nearby tree.
"Hi, Farrow!"
Farrow shrieks. "Oh! Hey, Limoned. I didnt know you could do that."
"Yes, I can. I could teach you tree travel, too, someday soon." Limoned said.
"Okay. Should we join them?" Farrow asked.
"I think we should, just to see how Molly is doing, healthwise." Limoned said.
"Okay." The two lovebirds head into the house.
"Who-who are they?" Molly asked.
Lenore smiles. "They are the men you have to thank for finding your mother and siblings."
"Oh. Thank you. What are your names?" Molly said.
"I am Farrow, and this is Limoned, my boyfriend. We are safe here," Farrow said, seeing Limoned's look of concern
