Vex: Huh? (He kneels down, semi-hiding himself. He hears spears pulled out, and gasps when he turns around to see some of the warriors and surrenders.)

Warrior: (Two warriors bring Vex to grimfax) An intruder, my Lord. We found him skulking outside.

Vex: (He rips himself away from the warriors.) Not skulking! Walking. I am a traveler from the South. I come seeking you, Oh, king.

Grimfax: For what?

Vex: To offer my services as an advisor.

Grimfax: I have an advisor already. (He points to the advisor writing something down, who pauses and glares at Vex, then continues writing.)

Vex: Ah, but does he know the formlings ? (The advisor looks up, confused, and looks to Grimfax.) They are a tribe of dangerous shape-shifters, who live to the south of the mountains. Even now, they scheme against you, plotting and planning.

Grimfax: (He looks bored.) So say you. . . Vex. (He whips his head sharply at him and Vex is surprised.) Yes, I know who you are. You are Vex the Formless. I know of your lies. Formlings have never troubled us and we will not trouble them. Give him food, water, and a decent cloak and send him on his way, before his jealousy sours us all.

Vex: You will regret this moment. All of you! I will return! And you will wish you had treated me better! (He leaves the castle, full of revenge.)


Vex: Ah. Mmhmm. (He tiptoes over to the fish and takes it.)

Ice Fisher: Hey! You there! Stop! (Vex drops the fish and runs away.)

(He walks away farther into the woods, his stomach growling. He tries to capture a , but it leaps above him just as he lunges at it. It pecks at him, squawking angrily, then flies away. Vex then sees a trail of berries, which leads him to a berry bush. He picks the berries hungrily and accidentally awakens a wolf. It chases him away until he is a good distance from the berry bush. He sleeps uncomfortably on a ledge when suddenly, a gun drops out from a .)

Vex: Oh. (He walks over to inspect the piece.) What? (A portal opens up again and a 's arm drops out, some fingers still functioning.) Ahh! (The portal opens up once more and Vex braces himself as the rest of the mech comes down.) What is that? (He walks away cautiously and stops when The portal opens up for the last time and and the fall out.)

Zane: Ahh! (Vex stares at him astonished, then runs off to hide behind a rock. Zane gets up and fixes himself.) Hello? Is anyone there? (He climbs up the mech and looks out to the sunset.) Where am I? (Vex stays hidden as he watches Zane work on the mech. Zane looks up and sees lightning.) Perhaps I should find shelter, but I can't leave you here. (He tries to create an ice platform, but is injured and cannot do so for long. He sees the scroll, but decides not to use it and goes back to trying to make the ice platform.) It's no use. Unless? (He picks up the scroll and easily makes the platform.)

Vex: Oh. (Zane finishes and pushes the platform along. Vex follows, laughing evilly.)

Zane: (He pushes the platform along until he sees a cave.) A cave. I suppose that will suffice for now. (He continues to push the platform along and Vex follows until he hears a screech. Zane stops and looks up to see an come at him. It knocks him down and flies back around. Zane quickly picks up the staff and zaps the bird. The bird squawks angrily and flies off.) What was that? (He pushes the platform into the cave and blocks the entrance to create the .)
