"Doctor, why can't you give her the medicine?" Dogi asked, and then Daleyon frowned.
"Well you see...The fact is, the medicine requires an ingredient called the Scarlet Crystal, which is incredibly expensive...Which means, that for us, it may be impossible to get." Daleyon said, shaking his head slowly.
"Isn't there any way to get the Crystal?!" Dogi asked, and then Daleyon shook his head.
"I heard Zanzibar still has some for sale but his prices are...well, fucking crazy is putting it mildly." Daleyon said and then Adol frowned. Looking down and pondering for a moment Adol walked up to Daleyon and offered to buy the Crystal from Zansibar. "What?! You're really gonna try it?! It's impossible I tell you! His prices are beyond impossible for any man on this world!" Daleyon said and then Adol just frowned and walked out the room. Soon enough, Dogi and Aisha followed him out.
"Well thank you for trying anyway!" Daleyon said, waving goodbye to the three travellers. "The king was right, they are insane! Oh well, it's good to try every now and then I guess..." Daleyon said, still looking their way.
"Everyone in this fucking land is insane and deserves to die..." Tia mumbled to herself.
~ At Zanzibar's Place ~
"Oh what do you want? This is no place for low-lifes like you." Zanzibar said as he turned around.
"You fucker, do you know who I am?" Adol thought to himself as he smiled politely at Zanzibar. Walking up to him, Adol asked Zanzibar if he could get a piece of the Scarlet Crystal.
"The Scarlet Crystal? Just so you know, that item is extremely ex-pen-sive...It'll cost you about the same amount as a house at least..." Zanzibar said.
"Oh come on man! I heard your prices were expensive but that's outrageous! Can't we have a discount or something?" Dogi said to Zanzibar but he just laughed.
"I don't make the prices man, that's that." Zanzibar said and shook his head.
"Oh come on! There's a little kid from Old Town that's dying! You can't say no to a kid!" Dogi tried to reason with Zanzibar and he just rolled his eyes.
"Old Town? There's no need for anyone to waste their time with such a worthless and rotting place. More over me, who has all the MONEY!" Zanzibar said, throwing his hands up.
"One hundred per cent discount!" Dogi said and then Zanzibar laughed again.
"Ninety-five." Zanzibar said and then Dogi huffed.
"Hah! Eighty-five!" Dogi said, crossing his arms. Adol looked at him dumbfounded and Zanzibar just laughed.
"Okay then, if you want that. Seventy!" Zanzibar said and then Dogi laughed.
"Haha! Fifty!" Dogi said. Adol wanted to punch him so bad right now. Dogi had no idea what he was saying or doing. This was obvious given his statements.
"Forty!" Zanzibar said, laughing.
"Twenty!" Dogi yelled but Zanzibar kept on laughing.
"Ten!" Zanzibar said, almost turning red as an apple because he was laughing so hard.
"Five!" Dogi said, and Zanzibar just kept on laughing.
"Zero!" Zanzibar yelled.
"Deal!" Dogi said and then Zanzibar burst into tears.
"You idiot!" Zanzibar said, laughing until he couldn't even stand up or breathe anymore.
"YOU THINK YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH SAYING SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO MY FACE!?" Dogi said, throwing a fist at Zanzibar. Aisha tried to stop him, but Adol held his hand in front of her, signaling for her to stop.
"B-But...He's gonna be in trouble. We might all get in trouble...I'm warning you." Aisha said and Adol just shrugged.
"So? I've been in trouble a lot of times and I don't know about you, but I made it out." Adol thought to himself.
~ After beating Zanzibar's ass ~
"Wow, I had no idea that I could get that violent...Neither did I have any idea that beating someone like that up would feel so good...Oh well! Let's go and report back to Doctor Daleyon." Dogi said and they nodded, heading towards Old Town. They went through the little town and reached Tia's house. Going in, they found Daleyon by Tia's side, comforting her. He turned towards the travellers and walked up to them.
"How did it go?" Daleyon said, although he already knew the answer. It was pretty obvious they wouldn't get the Crystal from the start.
"It was awesome! I beat Zanzibar's ass until he was begging for mercy!" Dogi said proudly. Daleyon's eyes widened and he just looked at Dogi with shock.
"Yeah you also tried to make a deal with him...and failed horribly partially because of yourself..." Adol thought to himself and laughed a little.
"Well anyway, we didn't get the Crystal, obviously. S-so...Isn't there any other way? Whatever I can do...I'll do it..." Aisha said, looking down. She of all people knew exactly how Tia felt when Maya started coughing and collapsed.
"The Scarlet Crystal is extremely rare and only found in Altago...Oh! But perhaps there may still be some in the Old Waterway!" Daleyon suddenly realized and everyone turned their attention towards him, even Tia.
"Where's that? And...What's that?" Dogi asked. Tia slowly turned towards them.
"It's an waterway that spans the entirety of Altago. I know where it is, come on!" Aisha said and then Tia suddenly stood up.
"Mr. Daleyon...could you watch Maya for a moment? I...need to do something..." Tia said and then suddenly ran out the house.
"Wow for a girl like her, she's pretty fast!" Daleyon said, looking out the window. Tia was already know where to be seen. "But wait...don't tell me she's planning to go to the Waterway all by herself! She doesn't stand a chance! There are many ferocious beasts down there!" Daleyon said but then, Adol and Dogi began to run towards where Tia went to.
"Hey wait! You don't even know where the Waterway is!" Aisha said, running after them.
"Oh man! Did you hear that Adol?! MANY. FEROCIOUS. BEASTS! LET'S GOOO!" Dogi yelled running next to Adol who smiled and nodded. Back in Tia's house, Daleyon watched as the travellers disappeared into the distance.
