Chapter 4
Ryan and Caleb slept in Dendra's small straw hut that night. They were woken up the next morning by Dendra to a huge breakfast on a table. "Wow" said Ryan. "This is amazing!" Dendra showed the boys to the chairs at the table, and brought out plates for them to eat on. Ryan and Caleb did not know what the green and black food on the plates were, but they knew it looked delicious! They tried one bite of this food, and were in love with it. "This tastes great!" shouted Ryan. "What is it?" Dendra answered, "It is called fitul." Caleb then asked, "Well what is it made of?" "Fitul is made with cow tongue, fish eyeballs, and to add some extra flavor, frog bladder." said Dendra. When Caleb heard these disturbing ingredients, he felt sick to his stomach. But before he could run outside, Caleb threw up the fitul all over Dendra's head!
In the inside, Dendra was very annoyed and grossed out by this. But on the outside, he acted like it was no big deal. He cleaned himself up as well as the floor of his hut. Dendra also took out this substance that was kind of like an air freshener to take away the smell of puke. Once he was cleaned up and returned, Caleb approached him and apologized. Dendra said that it was no big deal, and that everything was okay. He then searched up what real human food looked like, and started to cook pancakes, sausages, bacon, eggs, and toast. This time Ryan and Caleb enjoyed the food even more now because the ingredients were actually edible!
After enjoying their breakfast, Dendra took Ryan and Caleb outside to the main section of Shadowcape. He decided that it was time to tell them the location of the golden dragon. Dendra pulled out a huge map and gave it to them. This is everything that you need to know to find the golden dragon. "Your first destination is the city of Gendole." proclaimed Dendra. "So how are we supposed to get to Gendole?" asked Ryan. "There is a portal in the Shadowcape Lair. It can take you to any destination. I will also give you a portable portal, which you can use to reach your future destinations." explained Dendra.
So the three walked over to the Shadowcape Lair. They found the portal and then walked over to it. "Well, this is it." said Dendra. "But since you will face many obstacles along the way, you guys are going to need these." Dendra showed the two a huge iceblade- an indestructible sword of ice, and a giant poison shuriken. He gave the iceblade to Ryan and the shuriken to Caleb. "Use these weapons carefully. They will be a great help." He then set the portal's destination to the city of Gendole. The circular portal started up and a red fog began to form inside of it. Ryan and Caleb both thanked Dendra for the great help that he was in letting them stay overnight in his hut and showing them how to locate the golden dragon. "You're welcome." said Dendra, and he handed Ryan the portable portal. "Good luck on your journey." Then Dendra stood there and watched as the brothers stepped into the portal.
