"Time's almost up~" Collector chuckled.
"Hold on..." Hunter said. "Hm?" 

Hunter walked up to Collector, trying to see if he was hiding them behind his back. "Ah-ah aah! No touching!!" A clock chimed loudly. 

"Oh no. Looks like The Cheater loses, and The Collector WINS! HAHAHAHAHA!" Collector laughed maniacally. "Now~ What to do... Oh, I know!"

Hunter stood there in shock. "Hehehehe!" The collector summoned a curse scroll out of thin air. It was one of his very own curses. "What are you doing?" Hunter asked. 

Collector tore the scroll, and cursed Hunter. "WHAT THE HELL-" 
"Hehehehehe! Bye bye~! Maybe we'll see each other again! After all, I am the emperor..."

"OH! Right..." Collector snapped his fingers, shattering the illusion. Hunter fell to his knees, crying. He lost Flapjack to another stupid emperor.

"Wh-whatever.." Hunter said, putting the hood of his cloak over his head. "I'm gonna go find L-Lily..."

"HUNTER?" Lily shouted.

Hunter walked out from the shadows. "Hunter!" King ran to Hunter. "Hunter? Wha-what happened?" King asked. Hunter stayed silent.
"Hunter?"

Hunter stayed silent until they all started to go to Eda's house. Hunter was with Lily.
"What's the point of having a stupid staff without a palisman?" He said, annoyed. "Huh?" Lily looked back at Hunter.
"I lost Flapjack. The stupid Collector took him..." he said. "The one friend I had."
"I can't wait until we get to Eda's house..." 

The sky is still dark. 

"Even the moon is covered, but at least there are stars..."

The dread turned into sadness.
