Meanwhile, back in the bear's house, Shirasagi woke up and realized Naruto and Cole were missing. He rushed to the bear's room.

"Bear! Naruto and Cole are gone!" He said. With that, the bear got up quickly. He roared as loud as he could waking up the whole house. Everyone rushed to the living room.

"What is it?" Asked Ran.

"Naruto and Cole are gone!" Said the bear, "what will we do!?"

"Oh no! The Sand Dudes! They will find and enslave them! Like they did with Butler (the wolf who was chasing Ten Ten)!"

"Bear!" Said Butler, "are there any cannins you know!?"

"Yes, a few live nearby."

"We could esperaste into groups to look for them!"

"That's a good idea! But what if the Sand Dudes dicide to come while we are doing it!?"

"We see them and Hide as fast as possible. If we are near the house, we go to the hiding place! The Sand Dudes could search this house for years and not find it."

"Very Well! Sakura, you go with Ran and Butler. Ten Ten, you go with Shirasagi and Bree. I will go with Puddleglum. Hepsoba and Hezekiah will be going with Chocoreto (he arrived a few hours earlier). At sunset we return. If you find them let us know somehow. Let's start!"

Butler had a very good scence of smell. Even taking him some time, he finally got some track of Cole's smell.

"Cole smells just like The Hanging Tree."said Butler.

"You mean the big tree in the center of Nirmia?"

"Yeah!"

"Why is it called the Hanging Tree?"

"Remember the song?"

"Yes, but doesn't make much scence."

"Sing the biginning."

"Are you, Are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man they say murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree."

"The Hanging tree was born because aperently, when the re- Founding of Nirmia happened, a young man died on the hill the tree is right now. They say he died by an explosion but later drowned on his own blood. Many strange things happened next. Only Elohim knows. But they say this man used to be a criminal and killed a importante man, a man who also was a criminal and a random guy. But repeated and Elohim took him as his child. Everyone who repents and believes in Jesus will be taken as Elohim's child. However, they say after the man died, Elohim turned his body into the Hanging Tree. Some captured prisoners of Nirmia are executed there when Elohim says they may. Go on with the song."

"Are you, Are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out for his friend to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree

Are you, Are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run, so we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree."

"Before the man went into the explosionn that killed him, his friend was going, but he made his friend flee so his friend would live. He told him to run, for they both carried a burden and his friend fleeing and the man dying made the burdens leave them. So now they are both free. Anything else of the song?"

"Are you, Are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here,
No stranger would it be,
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree."

"Both friends carried similar burdens. Now that both burdens are gone, they remian equal. However, the dead man said to his friend that-"

"Run!" Said Ran's voice, "we must warn the other Nirmias!"

"What is it?" Said Sakura.

"The Sand Dudes are on the other side of the Enoch Sea! We must warn the other Nirmias! We have to protect Nirmia!"
