It was new day with a bright blue sky. The wind howled as a single handkerchief blew in the air. It spun around and around, flying into a forest, where yelling could be heard. Deep inside said forest, our group of adventurers were in an argument.

"My feet feel like jelly." Amalia whined, as she leaned up against a tree. "I can't take another step."

"We're completely lost!" Yugo exclaimed.

"And whose fault is that, I wonder?" Eva asked rhetorically, her eyes landing on the Shinobi next to her.

"Hey! It's not my fault!" Y/n responded with offense, before pointing accusingly at the Enutrof. "It's Ruel's! What'd you even say to the map?"

"This map is too difficult to deal with. It gets too easily insulted." Ruel defended, gesturing to the map in his hand. "I was only joking when I said that I was gonna use it to wipe my..."

"No! No! No! No! I don't wanna to know!" Y/n covered his ears, grossed out.

Meanwhile, the handkerchief had flown over to the group and landed on Dally's boot, who was barely listening to the argument next to him. He picks up the handkerchief and takes a whiff of it, sighing dreamily. "I wonder who this wonderful handkerchief and beautiful scent belongs to!"

"Did you just sniff a handkerchief that was on the ground?" Y/n asks the Iop, who ignored the question.

"Help me! Help me!" Dally's ears perk up and he looks around. After a few seconds of searching he finally notices a tower in the distance. "Please, someone, help me!" He narrows his eyes and notices the poor condition of the tower, as well as a gloved hand sticking out of the window. "Who will be the valiant knight who comes to save a real life princess from her curse? Who will be my Prince Charming? Come to me, valiant knight." A crown on barely seen white blonde hair peaks out of the window. "We shall marry, live happily ever after, and have lots of children!"

Sadly for the "princess", no one will come to save her. Not even the stupidest of...

"Wow! A princess!" The Iop brain exclaimed, before rushing over to tower with glee.

...and I spoke too soon.

He stands before the tower as a long stroke of hair tied together by a red ribbon flies out of the window. Dally uses it to climb up towards the "princess" waiting for him, like Rapunzel's prince. He hastily climbs the long lock of hair with the biggest smile on his face, as the others watch him from a distance.

"That's it." Ruel says, raising an eyebrow at Percedal. "The last ounce of intelligence just drooled out of his mouth."

"That's saying he had any." Y/n remarks, watching Dally climb the hair with a look of disappointment.

"Ah, men. A bit of makeup, some sweet talk, and they lose their head." Eva proclaims, crossing her arms. "They're all the same."

"Oi!"

"What?" She turns to Y/n, who looks at the Cra accusingly, and smirks. "I said men."

A tick mark pops up on Y/n's head. "Why you-!"

"At this rate we're not gonna get to Oma Island any time soon." Yugo spoke up, before more fighting could ensue, again.

Amalia, meanwhile, noticed some veins covering something on a nearby tree. She walks over and raises her hand, making the veins move away. Not noticing the obvious signs of danger, she smiles brightly at how they look. "Hey, look! There are some real pretty pictures over here!" The others walk over as Amalia taps her chin, looking closely at the signs. "I can't understand them, though. What is this gibberish?"
