Thomas ran down the streets searching every corner, every alley, and every bench he could find. His breathing was heavy and his lungs were sore but he didn't care. He couldn't rest until Jimmy was found, safe and sound. Char had left Thomas to his search and went to report to chief about Jimmy's disappearance. The longer the night went on, the more worried Thomas grew. He couldn't bare think something bad had happened, but it was all his mind could linger too.

Oh Jimmy, where are you? Please...Please be alright.

Is everything alright, my lord," Tzeckal Kan asked from behind. Thomas turned around and nodded.

"Jimmy," Thomas began, "He, uh..."

Thomas thought for a moment. How could he tell him Jimmy, a god, has went missing.

"I uh...I can't feel his presence, "Thomas finally said, "It..it worries me."

"Oh," Tzeckal Kan said, "I didn't realize you two were so bonded together. It is indeed worrisome, but I'm sure Lord Jimmy is just fine, my lord."

Thomas shook his head.

"No. Something is wrong. He would never go off like this. He's curious but..."

Thomas stopped himself. Wasn't curiosity a mortal error?

"I see, my lord," Tzeckal Kan said.

"Since we've been here, things are just too off. We're both not used to it, and it frightens us. Which is why we need to leave. Once I find Jimmy, we must leave. I'm afraid we were not meant to be here just yet. It may be why we feel your ... tribute cannot be accepted."

Tzeckal Kan seemed to understand as his eyes widened and a slight smile formed.

"Oh," he said, "The stars. You must be right, my lord, but...why did you descend upon us if it was not time? Were you not aware?"

"Time in heaven is different than time on earth."

"Hmmm, I see...well then," Tzeckal Kan leaned in, "I believe you may be right. Lord Jimmy may have fallen in ill hands."

Thomas's heart jumped when those words were spoken.

"What do you mean," he asked.

"I do not mean to alarm you in any way, but there are rebels here in the city."

"Rebels," Thomas repeated. Tzeckal Kan nodded.

"Yes, they seek to destroy this beautiful city. They lurk underneath our very feet, like rats. Cruel vicious disgusting rats."

"What can I do," Thomas asked quickly.

"There is a cave right behind my temple, no doubt leading down to them. Their cruel dark magic may be hiding his presence from you, but as a god you should not have to fear them."

Thomas nodded.

"You will need a torch to light your may, my lord. It is quite dark in that cavern."

"Thank you, Tzeckal Kan," Thomas said, "You will be greatly rewarded once Lord Jimmy is found and these rebels dealt with."

"Oh, thank you," Tzeckal Kan said then bowed, "May the heavens give you all the power you need to find Lord Jimmy."

Tzeckal Kan stood up then turned and began walking back to his temple, leaving Thomas there standing. He took one step forward then suddenly turned and ran to the chief's temple. He was gong to need a lot of help if he was going to save Jimmy from these rebels. No doubt these people had prepared for a god and if they did have dark magic, Thomas wouldn't stand a chance against them. Jimmy needed him and when Jimmy needed him, Thomas was always going to be there. It was one habit Thomas could never break.

Thomas quickly made his way to the chief's temple. Just before Thomas was about to ascend the steps, the chief walked out and spotted Thomas. He quickly made his way down to Thomas who bowed slightly.

"What is the matter, Lord Thomas," The Chief said. Thomas looked at him.

"Did Char not come," Thomas asked. The Chief shook his head.

"What has happened?"

Thomas let out a shaking breath.

"Jimmy," Thomas began, "He's...uh...he's missing."

The Chief looked surprised by this at first then he looked away and sighed.

"Let us walk," The Chief said then placed his hand on Thomas's shoulder. Thomas furrowed his brows but let himself we lead along with the Chief.

"I should've said something when it all came into place, but my people were so excited to have the gods that I didn't have the heart to break their spirits. It was not your fault, it was ours. We believed so much that we did not even think that other people would find us. You two fit the descriptions so perfectly it was easy to mistake you."

"We...we were going to take your gold," Thomas said

The Chief laughed.

"Yes," he said, "Gold is worth so much in your world, but here, it has no true value. We are quite aware of the world's demand for it, so we have to hide. The world is greedy, but we still would've given it to you."

"If we knew that you already knew we were mortals, then we couldn't have taken it."

"I'm glad to hear it, Thomas," the Chief said, "Because I should've said something, it may have prevented this."

"Tzeckal Kan believes that the rebels might have Jimmy."

The Cheif stopped then looked at Thomas.

"Rebels," he repeated, "I was not aware there were any. There is no reason for my people to revolt."

"We should still look. Someone is holding Jimmy, I just pray we can save him."

"Leave it to me, Thomas. Did he say where they were located?"

"He said there was a small cave behind his temple that he was sure lead under the city to a hideout."

The Chief looked down then glared.

"I'll send my soldiers looking, I want you to go back to your temple."

Thomas's eyes widened.

No! Jimmy needs me! I have to find him!

"Wha...what?"

"I think its a trap. Someone else must know you are mortals and it'll only end both of your lives. I'll send my men down to the cave and send word for you when we've found Jimmy. You are under my protection now. I'm not going to put your lives in anymore danger."

"But.."

"No, go back to the temple and stay there."

The Chief turned around and Thomas watched. Tears formed in his eyes as he looked over at Tzeckal Kan's temple.

No, no ,no I can't just leave him. I can't just do nothing for him. He needs me. Jimmy needs me!

He watched the Chief vanish from sight then Thomas set into a sprint and ran over to Tzeckal Kan's temple. Trap or no trap, he wasn't going to let Jimmy stay in there. He made is way behind the temple and spotted a small dark opening. His heart beat began to quicken as he approached it. Even with his breath now caught, his heart was still on the run.

"I forgot a torch," Thomas whispered to himself, but then shook his head, "Might as well. It would probably attract them. I'll just have to venture in the darkness. If I die...then please dear God, don't let Jimmy die too."

Thomas swallowed then entered into the blackness.
