Oz read it all loud and clear.
" The waves of the ocean rise then bow,
Billions of drops of water poured down.
If you are stumbled upon and nothing you know,
Everything is listed on the king's crown."
"Well, that's what the scroll said. We got two now, where's the third one? "Asked Oz. She sat beside Arthur, who was in deep thought. "Hey!" Oz pushed him. Arthur regained consciousness and answered,"I don't know... I guess we're just stuck. Let's just quit now, there's just too much puzzling problems and we cannot solve them..." Oz gritted her teeth and pushed Arthur. "How could you give up hope for your parents! If you're gonna give up now, fine. Guess I'll have to go on on my own, start over and finish it on my own!" She then walked away from them, with her eyes wet. Arthur kept his head down for a few seconds. He is all stressed out and ready to give up.
He decided to get some fresh air and stroll around the village. So he stood up, stretched his arms, then took a step forward. Suddenly, he felt that he kicked on something. It was the scroll. He picked it up and opened it. He 'scrolled' through it and suddenly realized something. He had missed a big detail. "Everything is listed on the king's crown... Billions of water poured down...rain... King of rain... Yes! I remembered now! There was a king who is known for his super power to control rain.... His name is.... King... Yes! King Lancelos VIII!" I know just where he is! But first i need to find Oz..." A gazillion things ran through Arthur's mind. He ran across to the forest Oz headed to.
He avoided branches and twigs and kept on running. It is a spooky forest, toilet papers hanging from trees and tree barks carved with X marks. A thick fog covered a mass of the area. Finally, he saw a figure out of the thick fog. The figure is sitting, head down covered in arms. It is leaning on a tree. Arthur approached the figure slowly and carefully. When he is close enough, he squatted in front of the figure and lifted her head. There was Oz, her face is wet after crying. She hid her face back. "Look, I'm sorry. It was wrong for me to give up on my quest, but that does not mean you should go around to a spooky forest weeping. I found an answer to the next place. Let's go together." Arthur said. Oz stood up and said," Last chance..." She wept her wet eyes and started to walk out of the forest. Suddenly, a loud crash is heard from the forest.......
