"It smells like freshly baked bread!" Yugo said with his tired eyes slowly widening at the thought.
Eva sniffed the air again. "It's true. I smell it too..." She said softly. "Wait, where's Ruel?" She asked as her face faded from happy to confused.

"Maybe he made us something to eat!" Percedal said optimistically with a huge smile on his face.

"I'm not so sure..." I said looking around for the smelly Enutrof.

"Yeah, pleasant odors are rarely associated with Ruel." Amalia said, but I couldn't disagree with her.

All of a sudden, right in front of us, we heard a noise. A huge yawn from none other than Ruel, as he stood up and stretched out, "I had great sleep! How about you?" He looked at all of our staring faces and made a "hm?" noise, then he looked down and covered his mouth. "Oh yeah. That scent of bread is coming from a village that is just... uh..." He paused and coughed a little, then he pointed to the left, "over there."

A huge scream came out of Amalia's mouth as she grabbed Ruel by the beard and pulled his face next to hers so that he wasn't looking over her. She is short, but I'm one of the shortest so I can't say much. "You mean we slept out here with this weather, when there was a village just over there?!" She yelled angrily.

"See? I was right!" Dally taunted with a cocky expression, "we weren't lost!"

Amalia responded to this by saying, "I swear one day I'm gonna-" She ended it there and yelled with pure rage.

"Now now princess!" I said, "you might want to calm down."

She simply yelled again and I could tell she was royally ticked off, so I tried to hide my giggles. We began walking again and eventually we made it to an area where we could see the village.

"Wow!" Yugo said, "it smells really good!"

"Yeah it does!" I responded.

"Wheat fields, it must be a baker's village!" Amalia said informatively.

Not even a whole second after she said that, Dally raised his arms in the air and said, "okay, let's go! I'd rather hurry and look at their bread than stare at the fields!"

All of a sudden, there was a huge growl that caused Dally to look down at his stomach while I looked around confused at the fact that the terra shook.

"I think we better get Dally something to eat, his stomach growling is worrying me."

"No..." Eva said looking ahead of us, "for once he had nothing to do with it. Look over there." She pointed her finger out and we all looked in the direction she was pointing.

There was a huge creature roaming around the little village it was pouncing around and appeared to be made out of... bread? Also, on top of it, it looked like there was a little person... or creature... It had destroyed the entire village before moving through the grass.

"What do you think they're doing?" Amalia asked, all of her rage seeming to disappear.

"Nothing, nothing!" Ruel said with a smile, "they're having fun obviously!"

"Guys... I'm not sure I would call that fun. Look at the village!" I said, my eyes wide while I stared at the village.
"Nah, I'm sure everything is fine! Oh! Let's go and eat something! We're all starving!" Ruel spoke as he began to walk away.

"We have to do something!" I heard Dally say after a moment of silence. "That poor creature is being attacked by a mad baker!" He taped Rubilax and the ground, causing the sword to grow larger and then he took off running down the little hill and into the village.

"Wait... I have a question." Amalia said, at least it wasn't me this time. "Was he being serious? Because... if he was, he just took it to a whole new level."

"No..." Eva put her hand on her hip and she spoke, but she sounded very unsure of herself, "I think he was joking, for once..."

I sighed quietly as we all began to move and help Dally, but then Ruel said, "You sure you want to go? I mean, no one saw us yet, so we can still run." He paused, "just look at the size of that..."

We all began running (not Ruel though, what a jerk) as fast as we could once we saw the creature hit Dally really hard, sending him flying.

Eva instantly shot multiple arrows of light at the huge monster as I watched trying to come up with a good strategy for how to take down the bread beast.

"Please come back!" A village girl said with a worried tone, "if you don't come back you'll get flattened like a pancake!" She pleaded.

The male who was also a villager picked up his weapon and held it out, "no!" He responded to the girl. "I won't let these young people handle things alone!"

After he said that, the little creature on top of the monster laughed evilly and said, "Now Breadnought, destroy the storage!" The huge bread monster began walking away while the little creature upon it just laughed.

"I don't know what you're plotting, but it won't be as easy as you think." Yugo said and in the blink of an eye he was next to the little creature. What is he gonna do? I thought, get himself killed?

I decided that I should help him, and just as I was about to make a portal, I heard the voice from my dream. My eyes widened and I looked around, Eva was still fighting and so was Yugo. No one had heard it but me. I tried to brush it off as I watched the little creature move to the windmill and Yugo teleported next to him. As we were distracted by them, the bread monster attacked a building and made parts of it crumble down.

We all gasped as we watched almost helplessly. Luckily, Amalia had earth control and sent out a huge vine which destroyed some of the monster's arm, causing the bread to crumble to the ground. Then Ruel decided to make an appearance by throwing his shovel at the creature, slicing it into many different parts. He started chuckling and Amalia raised a fist in the air and said, "yay!"
