"Before we start the tour, you need to drink this potion first."
The little creature handed six vials with a yellow liquid inside.
Dog poured the liquid inside Parrot's beak and lifted it to that she would swallow the potion.
Then the five drank theirs.
Then after a while, everything was a bit bigger...or
"Hmm, we became smaller." Snow said
"Now follow me."
Dog followed at the other creature carrying Parrot.
As the four took the tour, they saw the kingdom was complete with buildings.
Puff remembered each location...
The blacksmith, the stores, the farm, the altar, the hospital, the barracks, and the castle.
They entered the castle.
"Your majesty, I have found the warriors."
"Good good. You may now leave."
The three saw Puff kneeled. They followed Puff's action.
The king stood up from his chair.
This creature was the largest one.
And the most noticeable feat was his helm.
It was a big pumpkin, and there's a spit over the pumpkin.
The spit was made from a circular rock, and there was fire in the middle, like a torch.
And in his hand was a club.
"Stand up mighty warriors. I am King Shaka, the leader of the Shakalaka tribe. My scout reported that you have arrived in this island. Many warriors arrived this island before you, and we always thought they are the ones mentioned in the prophecy that will help us win over the battle with the dragons."
"And I assure you that we are the ones." Panda said
"That was they all stated. We have lost many men already trying to help them, but they all died. I want you to prove that you are the prophesized beings, then we shall help you in your quest, as you shall help us in ours."
Puff stood up.
The king noticed the mask.
It was familiar.
He called the oracle immediately.
A female shakalaka entered and stared at Puff, and handed a book to the king.
She can't stop staring at Puff's mask before she left the room.
The king opened the book, and he read an article to the four.
"And in the arrival of six warriors, they shall be accompanied by a creature..."
"Hidden behind an armor that shall protect his identity..."
"Within the six warriors, there shall be a brave Wizard..."
"Raised with fear, and outgrew being a coward..."
"A Paladin with wings, the winds as swift..."
"Wielded a sword that defeated her grief..."
"A Giant Warrior of black and white..."
"Used fire to bring balance to the night..."
"A Warrior who gracefully wielded a scythe..."
"And for the lonely ones, she will be the light..."
"An Archer who did not revenge as she was nice..."
"Thus her power, like her heart, shall be cold as ice..."
The three stared at Puff and the King.
The King was impressed, as they proved that they are the ones in the prophecy.
"It is an honor to have the warriors of the prophecy stop by in the kingdom of the shakalakas."
"And it is an honor to meet the ruler of the shakalakas himself in this kingdom."
"What shall be your decision regarding the two dragons that roam the land up there?"
"We'll try to gather enough supplies, then we shall fight the dragons upstairs. We shall commence the attack at dawn."
"Very well. I'll bring the news to the whole kingdom. You can acquire supplies willingly if you talk to the managers. You can also hire some soldiers from the barracks, but only up to three. Apologies as we cannot risk any more soldier as it may jeopardize the security of the kingdom."
"I understand. Thank you, your majesty."
The four left the kingdom.
"Let's get to Parrot."
"Okay, which way?"
"Follow me."
"How did you know that prophecy, I mean it's so awesome, your duet. And what do you mean by like my heart, my power will be ice?"
Puff smiled
"My dear Cat, your bow and arrow set will be infused with the powers of ice."
"What do you mean by 'like her heart'?"
"I know everything, Cat, and you know what happened, too. You are not aware of the future, but I am. Your time has not arrived yet, so take your time to requip."
Cat felt something suspicious about Puff.
"Here's the hospital, and there's Dog. You go ahead. Snow, come with me."
"Why?"
Puff didn't say a word. He walked towards another building.
They entered inside.
At the center of the building, there was a giant bowl of water, glowing in bright blue.
"What's this?"
"The altar. Touch the water."
Snow slowly put her paw into the water.
The water was cold, and she felt weird.
And then everything around her stopped.
She shifted back in time.
She stood in the middle of her old sanctuary.
Snow stood there, unable to move.
She saw another polar bear.
She watched this polar bear crying.
She watched herself crying.
