"Feli, Feli, Feliciano!" Lovino called out, panicked, as he wandered into the forest in search of his brother. Some of the trees had to be up to 50 metres tall. The dense canopy of tropical foliage left the forest floor rather dim and somewhat devoid of greenery. There were, however, plenty of mushrooms. Lovino saw a line of ants as big as his thumb crawling over a jaguar carcass. He stepped far out of the way of that. He heard the annoying screeching of exotic birds. At this point, the song from the Wizard of Oz "Lions, Tigers and Bears, oh my" decided to get stuck in his head. Lovino turned around in a circle a couple of times to make sure a jaguar wasn't following him or anything like that. "Feliciano, come on, we need to go home!" He cried out.

"I'm over here, Help." He heard Feliciano yell. Lovino started running toward the sound of his distressed brother's voice. Suddenly he was falling, and tumbling and rolling down the steep edge of the plateau and into the valley. He got well beaten up, but was too startled to scream. Then he stopped tumbling. He had reached a semi-flat part of the valley. His brown hair was a mess with leaf bits stuck in it and his shirt had a rip on the left sleeve and he had a bump on head and he had a hole in his right trouser leg with his scratched knee showing through it, but other than that, he was alright. No broken bones.

Then, to his surprise, he was pounced on from behind, but it turned out to be Feliciano hugging him. Feliciano was in a similar state of disrepair. "You fell too." He said. "Feliciano Vargas, Do not go wandering off anymore! You are much too old for that." Lovino yelled at his younger brother and gestured angrily. "I'm sorry." Feli pouted. "Can we go home now?"

"Um, yeah. Just a minute, no wait, shit, I think we are lost." Lovino had neglected to keep track of which direction he had been heading so they could get back to the tunnel.

"What should we do?" Feliciano asked.

"We'll have to get back up that cliff first, so start climbing."

"Hold up. You were mad at me for being so unaffected by finding another dimension, now you seem to have accepted it." Feliciano stated.

Lovino decided to ignore that comment and tried to pull himself up the cliff by grabbing onto a protruding tree root. After about 15 minutes of struggle, he had only managed to climb up about two of his body length high, but the cliff was probably 300 metres high and ascended at a 115 degree angle from the valley ground. He had mostly managed to create a small landslide underneath him, not much else. So Lovino let go and slid back down the pathetic length.

"Do you see that strange man over there. Looks like a wizard, doesn't he?" Feliciano said to Lovino and pointed to the so called wizard. Lovino looked in the gesticulated direction. Yeah, he really did look like a wizard. He had a long grey beard and a black robe and pointed hat. He was bending over and carrying a basket. He was about 80 metres away and had not noticed the brothers yet.

"Hey wizard man! Can you ahelp us, ve?" Feliciano called out in his signature friendly way.

"Shit, Feliciano. Why'd you do that? He kind of looks like a crazy bastard. Who the hell cosplays in the forest?" Lovino scolded in a whisper.

The wizard looked up and started walking toward them. "Hello, I'm just picking mushrooms. How may I be of assistance? Gosh, you two look a little scuffed up. Are you alright?"

"Are you really a wizard?" Lovino asked. He'd never met a wizard before, but stranger things had happened. "Also, isn't that a fake beard?"

The wizard pulled on his fake beard, revealing a young, clean shaven face. Then he let go and the elastic snapped back at him and he winced. "Yes, I am the real deal; unlike my beard." He said. "My name is Sir Toris Laurinaitis, what be thy names?"

"I am Feliciano Vargas and this is my brother, Lovino Vargas." Feli introduced. "Pleasure to meet you!"

Sir Toris gasped. Then he started to shake. "Can it be? Are you really the missing princes? Of course you are, you to look exactly like king Romulus Vargas. You have to come with me." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a vile of powder, which he uncorked. Toris grabbed the brother's hands and the three disappeared in a cloud of green smoke.

When the smoke settled, they were no longer in the tropical forest. They were in an air conditioned hallway with a green marble floor and four ornate wooden doors and walls with wallpaper featuring a design that was vaguely European and vaguely African tribal at the same time. The wizard immediately pushed them into a small empty room and said "I'll be right back." before he closed the door and locked them in.

"Did he call us princes?" Feliciano asked.

"Yeah." Lovino affirmed.

"Weird."

"Did he just kidnap us and lock us in a closet?"

"Yeah." Lovino repeated.
