Chapter 5: Insect Collection...

Pomni and Ragatha watches for Jax to come back, but she hasn't seen him for almost a whole day. "We have to go and find him." Pomni says to Ragatha. "I know..." Ragatha says back. "I hope he's okay."

Pomni suddenly sees Jax in the distance. "There he is! Jax!" Pomni gets up and runs towards Jax. "Jax! You alright!?" Pomni asks. "Never... better..." Jax replied, holding his hand on his bleeding wound. "Okay... come on... let's get you fixed up..." Pomni tried to support Jax and walk him to Ragatha.

"Jax! What happened?!" Ragatha asked as she motions him to sit down. "I was running from Gangle... and I must've tripped and..." Jax trails off. "I'm okay." Jax finishes and sits down. Ragatha sighs and gently cleans Jax's wound. "I recommend that you change your clothes... Jax... they are ruined..." Ragatha says. "You know my spares are in my... err destroyed... bedroom... back at the circus tent..." Jax groans in annoyance.

"Then why didn't you grab some when you were in there when I came across you?" Pomni asks. "I didn't realize that "destroyed" didn't compute with that thick skull of yours." Jax says sarcastically. "Hey! You watch it, mister!" Ragatha says immediately. Jax groans in disappointment and looks at the dried blood on his glove and overalls.

             "At least you're not bleeding much anymore... it's a good sign... take it easy so that it can heal... okay?" Ragatha says. "Alright..." Jax says in agreement. "Good, now go rest in the tent." Ragatha says. Jax smiles slightly and stands up, walking into the tent. Pomni looks at Ragatha. "We need to get some more clothes... we can't wear the same clothes every day... they'll get worn down..." Pomni explains. Kinger picks up some ants and puts them in a jar. "Cute little guys for my insect collection!" Kinger happily exclaims and he hugs the jar.

           "Hey... uh... Kinger." Pomni calls out. "Who said that?" Kinger says, rapidly looking around. "It's just me, Pomn-" Kinger suddenly looks at Pomni and interrupts her. "I think there is a pair of hands out to get me! Everywhere I turn... they're always there..." Kinger says, and then he looks at his hands. "AH!" Kinger screams and jumps back.

         Pomni raises an eyebrow. "Oh, boy..."
