Ok, chapter 4 on the way.

The next day, Genki went outside to picked up the dirk. Everyone stared as the boy as he dislodged the blade next to two lost disks. He brought it inside his inn and examined it closer. It had two dragons engraved on it, above a ruby. On the otherside was a picture of a cave. A ray of light shone on it from a picture of a city and had the number 4000 next to it. He quickly brought it to Tiger, who was resting on the floor next to a fireplace. "Tiger!!" Genki said showing the dirk to him. "Look at this!"
"It's a blade." Tiger said plainly.
"Yeah. But look at this on the other side." Tiger positioned his head so he could see better.
"Yeah, I see it, but I don't understand what you are getting at Genki."
"Its a map! This must be where the others are!" Genki's eyes widened as he said it.
"But why would a baddie carry a weapon around with instructions to it's hideout?" Tiger said, knowing that Genki was depending on his assumption.
"But it has to be!" Tiger resumed resting, and sighed.
"I really think its a trap. But you havent led us astray before. I trust your judgement, so we can go tomorrow if you want."
"...Thanks Tiger." Tiger pretended to be asleep as Genki left the room.

Holly had just noticed her surroundings. The ground was hard and a greyish color, and every so often was a grate in the floor. The ceiling was rocky, and not very stable looking. She could see no walls, and did not know where the light was coming from. Golem seemed very distant, as did anything else. Very suddenly, one of the grates opened. Holly gasped and got Hare's attention. Two plates of food were slipped out and the grate closed. Then a jell slid through the grate and up onto the ground, taking form into a Tascillion. He picked up the food, and brought it to the prisoners.
"Eat." it said. Holly and Hare both looked at each other with concerned looks.
"Well, they already have us prisoner." Hare said, from a logical point of speaking. "So I deem this safe to eat." As he said that he began eating. Holly looked at hers. It was just a piece of bread and soupy looking broth. She was famished and she began to eat too.
"Do not attempt to escape." The Tascillio jell said.
"Are there others, besides us?" Holly asked, a little intimidated by the monsters size. It was taller and bigger than both Hare and herself put together.
"Do not question us." The monster walked back to the grate and fell through the grating. As time wore on, it became an evident pattern. One jell brought food about twice every 4 hours. There was no day or night to Hare and Holly. Sometimes Holly brought up something to talk about with Hare, mindless trivial stuff. Hare tapped each chain link several times during the day, and could never stand still. Holly wondered what Hare was doing, but never interupted the silence. Holly wondered if they would ever get out.

The small group left town that day, not really knowing to go. Suezo looked it over very closely. "Well it seems that this is the town here." He said, pointing as best he could with his tounge to the town on the dirk. "And the sun rises in the east, so this ray of light is pointing to a cave, 4000 paces that way!" Suezo wished that Golem were here so he could launch him into the air. Although it wouldn't seem like this to anyone, Suezo missed being in the air. He felt free and important, looking down on the ground.
"Good job chi!" Moochi said. The group felt a little happier after leaving the town. It was like a new start. Genki seem to be convinced that the rest of the group was out there, and gave Suezo and Moochi something to look forward too. Tiger was more realistic minded and decided to let Genki bring more cheer to the group. 'It would be better this way.' Tiger thought to himself. 'Moochi doesn't get that the group wont be there. Suezo needs Holly to be there. Genki needs something to point towards so he can go to. They are all living in a fake reality. When they get to where they are going to, they will be let down, which wont be anywhere.'
"Last one there is a rotten monster!" Genki yelled and then started running and counting loudly, followed by Moochi and Suezo. Tiger calmly began to walk but found himself running too. 'No reason to bring the whole lot down.' He thought, as he ran.

Hare had devised a plan. He couldnt let Holly know what he was doing, for if he did then she might object to it. "Holly, can I borrow your talisman for a second?" Holly handed Hare her weapon, not sure what he was going to do. Hare wedged the tip of it into one of the weaker chain links. He then streched his arms and legs and began to do various warm up exercises. Holly began to join him, still unsure.
"Say, Hare. What are you doing!?!?!?!?!" Holly was fairly confused for Hare to had randomly ask for her knife and then to start doing push ups. Hare suddenly jumped in the air as far as the chains would let him.
"Dragon KICK!" Hare yelled as he came down with flames and a CRACK. Hare had landed on the end of the talisman. The chain had been broken, and the blade unhurt.
"That was awesome!" Holly yelled as she picked up her talisman. "Let's go get Golem, and hurry!" Hare need no more encouragement and they were off to Golem's direction.
