Tom skips his way out of ivan's house while humming a mellow tune. "What is that song?" Alaya says chuckling a bit. "Just something i made up. I call it the potato song." Tom continues humming but this time, its louder. "God that tune is insufferable!" Hugo clenches his ears. "Now i got it all stuck in my head!" Tom looks at hugo and pouts. "Good. Now goodluck sleeping!~" Tom says with a smirk and continues even louder.

After what seems like forever and a couple of the potato song being repeated over and over again, they finnally arrived at fools gold.

Hugo cradles his head muttering something. "M-m-must. F-forget. Tha-at. S-s-song..." Alaya looks at Tom half mad; half amused. "Worth it." Tom says smirking. At that moment the map jumps out of hugo's bag and starts yelling at Tom. Tom ignores it and goes in the cave.

He looks around the cave. There is a carving thats written in weird letters '¤▪︎ ○'~▪︎}{]]. $▪︎~▪︎ ]>▪︎• ' %~'□◇¡' Tom looks at these symbols carefully. Alaya enters carrying a broken hugo on her shoulders. Alaya puts hugo down and walks over to tom. "Whats that youre looking at?" Alaya points to the carving. Tom ignores her and tries to figure it out himself. Alaya inches closer and tries to read the carvings, then it clicked.

"Wait." Alaya reaches knside her bag and pulls out a messy thick book. "Ugh." Tom gags. "You actually read that?" Alaya ignores him and flips through the pages and lands on page 432. "The alphabet." Alaya mutters. She looks up at the carving and back down to the book. "B. E. C. A. R. E. F. U. L. L. T. H. E. R. E. L. I. E. S. A. D. R. A. G. O. N." Alaya reads word for word. "Be carefull. There lies a dragon." Alaya says.

Silence.

"NO SH*T SHERLOCK!" Screams Tom. "Language." Alaya reminds tom. "WE JUST WASTED 10 MINUITES TRYING TO READ IT." Tom screams again. "Shh!" Alaya puts a finger to his lips. "Let's just continue."

Alaya walks infront of Tom who is currently mumbling curses.

They move carefully forward and stop at a giant boulder. Alaya sighs. "Tom does your cannon work with this?" Alaya points at the boulder. "Maybe. There's only one way to find out!"

Tom reaches into his bag of holding and pulls out his cannon. Tom aims the cannon at the boulder and shoots. The boulder barely moved. A small chip of the boulder plops out and lands infront of tom. Tom fires again. Potatoes fly out of the cannon barely chipping the boulder. "It's not gonna work, Tom. The boulder is to dense."

"Did someone say boulder?" Map comes out of a quivering hugo's bag. "Oof." Map looks at hugo. "You done goofed, mate!" The boulder says to Tom. "Chip-chip cheerio mate! Get to the point already!" Tom says in a fake british accent while throwing the chip flakes from the boulder at Map.

"Aight, aight. Didn't have to be so violent there." Map says shaking of the gravel. "Besides, i'm scottish, not british."

"Anyways, i know someone that can help ya." Map says sitting down infront of hugo who is still quivering.

"She's a druid."

Alaya's eyes gleam. "A druid?!" Alaya says jumping up and down. It's been such a long time since Alaya saw another druid. All of them moved to a highly wooded area. But when Alaya's family decide to move too, Alaya refused to move. Alaya isn't fond of the forest. She liked the animals but she just can't take the trees surrounding her in a grassy and dirty patch.

"Yep. A true druid all rait." The map sighed. "She's one hell of a druid. Too bad she's an alcoholic." Alaya stopped. "Right." Almost all the druids that stayed are alcoholics. Khuqeack is filled wih booze. Tourists come here for the exotic wine and beer.

"Can't blame 'er tho. This place sure is brewsome." Map smirked. Tom looks at it with a blank look. Alaya fidgets with her finger. She was dissapointed that the rumors was true.

Alaya sighed. "Could you take us to her?" The map looked at alaya sternly. "Please?"

"Well, since ya said please," the map turns to an actual map. "Is it that hard just to say please?" The map looks at Tom. Tom rolls his eyes crossing his arms. "Hah." Alaya chuckles.

Alaya goes over to hugo and oh, so gently-'SLAP'-slaps him in the face. Hugo snaps out of his trance. He winces cluching his cheek. "Whaddya do that for ay?" The map says behind alaya. "To help him."

"A-alaya?" Hugo says squinting. "OH THANK GOD. DO YOU HAVE A POTION THAT'LL MAKE ME FORGET THAT GOD FORBIDDEN SONG?!" Alaya searches her bag. "There." She throws him a vile. Hugo chugs it down like there's no tommorow.

"That's better." Hugo sighs.

"Lets go." Says alaya.

"To the forest of tragedy!" Yells the map. Hugo is to tired to question anything.

"Hm." Hugo shrugs and moves along.
