"My rear end is profoundly sore," Gabriel sighed, sitting there on the horse.

Lukas nodded agreement, raking a hand through his hair. "I feel like we've been riding forever."

Reuben oinked agreement.

"I'm telling you," Soren was saying, angrily, "we CANNOT go to the Far Lands!"

"Bit late for that now, isn't it?" Lukas asked, arching an eyebrow. Jesse stifled a laugh.

"They're not just the edge of our world, but the limits of our comprehension!" Soren continued.

"Oh, please," and Ivor rolled his dark blue orbs at the ginger. "The Far Lands are a happy accident. Nature's way of keeping life interesting."

"No, no!" Soren shook his unruly hair so furiously he nearly whipped Ivor in the face, "They are perilous and unpredictable! Strange noises, floating points... they are not to be toyed with!"

Jesse gave the architect a look. "They don't sound that bad to me," she responded.

Ivor grinned at Soren. "See? Jesse thinks the Far Lands are cool," he bragged.

Soren rolled his eyes. "Well, she WOULD- no offense, Jesse," he added, glancing at Jesse. She shrugged. "None taken."

Soren turned back to Ivor. "The Far Lands lie at the very edge of all things. Where logic gives way to chaos. They're a dangerous place to visit. And a ridiculous place to construct a laboratory!"

Ivor just chuckled at him. "Just wait until you see it."

"Do you two never stop arguing?" Olivia asked, sounding a little annoyed.

"Yeah. They're kind of like an old married couple," Jesse remarked teasingly, making Soren and Ivor turn bright red and turn to gape at her. Lukas cackled a bit, bending over his horse to try to hide it.

"I don't know. I'm too hungry to care," Gabriel sighed, leaning back a bit- as far as he could without toppling off the back of the horse.

"Yeah," Lukas agreed, no longer laughing. "I'm starving."

"When was the last thing we last ate?" Olivia wondered. "The last time I remember last EATING anything was about two weeks ago, in that dirt hut. And Jesse didn't eat anything."

As if to prove Olivia's point, Jesse's stomach practically roared.

"Yeah, we're all pretty hungry," and Jesse made a face at her stomach. "Maybe we should stop. There has to be something in this swamp that's edible."

"This isn't the time," Soren responded, "swamps are too dangerous. You never know what's lurking around-" He was cut off by a loud noise. His head snapped around, looking spooked. "What was that?"

"My stomach," Gabriel grumbled.

"Okay, let's just- take a break. Maybe find some food," Jesse said, brushing her fingers through her hair and jumping off her horse. Everyone followed suit, looking very relieved.

"We mustn't linger long," Ivor spoke, "the Far Lands are just beyond this swamp."

Jesse nodded, before wandering into the swamp, looking around. Leaning down, she picked a potato out of the ground. "Okay, potato, you're coming with me."

And she kept walking, before scooping up another potato. "Two potatoes are better than one. Especially when you're hungry," she added, a small grin twitching across her face.

Wandering back a bit, she scooped up another potato out of the ground. "Gotcha, potato."

Jesse smiled a little as she remembered how sometimes the Order would bring some foods. Jesse tended to like it when they brought anything to do with potatoes. Mashed potatoes, potato chips, you name it.

Finding a last potato, Jesse scooped it up and walked back to the group. "One potato, two potato, three potato, four," she hummed mildly, a small smile playing on her face. "Hey, check out what I found!" She pulled out a potato and waved it at her friends.

Olivia arched her eyebrow. She looked unimpressed. "A potato."

"It's food," Jesse pointed out. "Beggars can't be choosers."

"Good point."

And Jesse pulled out all four potatoes and regarded her six friends, then the potatoes. Well, everyone could get half a potato, in that case, since there were only seven people. So she took out her sword, cut them all in half, and handed a potato half to Gabriel.

Everyone ate at the potatoes, Jesse putting her half in her mouth and saying, through the potato, "I'm gun' go see if I cen find an'thing elf."

"Okay," and Soren gave her a thumbs up as she wandered off again, Ivor coming up after her. "How are you doing?" he asked as she hastily swallowed her potato slice.

"Not bad," Jesse shrugged, before spotting something that looked like a small house. The two of them went towards it, Ivor more reluctantly. "A witch's hut," he whispered to Jesse.

"We should stay clear of it. Nothing good ever happens when witches are involved," Ivor responded softly.

Jesse spotted something, and she stood on her tiptoes. "Hey, there's a cake!" she whispered, pointing at said cake, "that'd be enough to feed everyone!"

Ivor shook his head. "It's not worth it, Jesse. Witches hate trespassers."

Jesse gave the cake one last look, before turning back to Ivor. "Let's get out of here."

"Good idea." And the two of them started to tiptoe away as fast as humanly possible.

The two of them ran into the clearing rapidly, all of them looking at the two of them as they raced in.

"Did you find any more food?" Olivia asked, looking at Jesse.

"No- well, sort of, but it doesn't matter. There's a witch here! We saw her creeping through the swamp, and-"

A red bottle soared over Jesse's shoulder, barely missing her cheek, and smashed into the ground, scattering red swirls and red potion- a Potion of Harm- all over the floor, making them all jump back in shock.

"And... she's here," Jesse finished, dropping her head into her hands, lower arms adjusting so they rested on her hips in an agitated position.

A/N: Haha xD The end of the 4th episode is coming relatively soon, but not the end of the story! (I'm keeping even the extra DLC episodes in this one story)

angelwings: I think they will, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna be showing it.

rebekahtpe: Mine was Christina Grimmie. Now it'd be like NateWantstoBattle. And nice!

Toni42: Yes, the Lukesse is real xD And yes. For Petra I was just like Ellegaard also can't go that well, since she hurt her ankle, so might as well!

guest1021: Maybe. And... (ahem) there will be an interesting plot twist. And yeah, I was thinking about that! That might be the sidestory, actually.
