"So, what should we do for tonight?" Cat asked
"The King invited us for dinner later." Dog replied
"So how's Parrot doing?"
"She should be waking up any time now."
At the same moment, Parrot did wake up.
"Unnhh...My head hurts."
"She's awake!"
"Parrot, just lie down for a while. Here. Eat this."
Dog handed a bottle of medicine.
Parrot opened the bottle and drank the liquid.
"Thanks. I feel better. I think I can stand now."
"Good good."
"Where are we?"
"In the lost kingdom of the shakalaka tribe. The king invited us to dinner later." Panda replied
"Hmm..I didn't know they still exist."
"Yeah, we couldn't believe either. Puff did believe."
"Speaking of the fish, where is he? And Snow, too?"
"Puff brought her somewhere. I am starting to worry about Snow." Cat said
"Me too. It's been an hour or two already since they left." Panda added
"Maybe they're with the king?" Parrot said
"Maybe it's her turn now." Dog said while cleaning up the table
"Snow's turn?"
"Yeah."
"So, should we check the kingdom? I mean, Snow's turn and Puff is with her." Cat said
"Cat, it'll be okay. I trust Puff. You should, too."
"No I don't. He's mysterious, and he has a lot of trick up to his sleeves. We don't know him, but he knows each one of us."
"Look, I--"
"We're back!" Snow shouted while raising the weapon to show it off.
"Where did you find the weapon?" Panda asked
"In the altar." Puff replied
Everyone panned their attention to the fabulously late Puff.
"What took you guys so long?" Cat asked with a heavy tone in her voice.
"What took you so long?" Puff replied
"Huh? What do you mean?" Cat was confused.
"The king said we should be in the castle already." Puff announces
"Hm...sounds like food is ready! Let's go!" Dog shouted
"So, warriors, I want to propose something to you."
"What is it, your majesty?"
"You see, I'm afraid you are all not strong enough to meet up this battle."
"Yes, we are not."
"So, I called the best teachers of our kingdom. Each of them specializes in each weapon and art. They will teach you some lessons as well as give you some advices that will later be useful. However, I cannot find such a teacher for you, masked man, as I do not really know who you are, nor what you are. I hope you find it non-offensive."
