"Did you have to bring my boat?"
"How else was I going to transport both of you?"
Molly and Wizard sat in his sand boat and looked around to get their bearings. "So this is the forest we're camping out in?" asked Molly, "It could've been worse."
"No kidding. Nothing like my forest though. But it almost has a magical presence here… I wonder why…" Witch Princess pondered. They looked upward and saw a hollow tree and Molly suggested, "Maybe it's because of whatever's in there." Wizard and Witch Princess shrugged their shoulders and started walking. "Let's go." So they walked up the hill, balancing on the log towards the opposite side, and hypothesizing what on earth it could be until something blocked their path: a bear and her cubs. Witch Princess groaned and lifted her arm, ready to move it forcefully before both Molly and Wizard grabbed it. "What are you two doing? We need to see what it is!"
"Can't you see? No one is supposed to be here. If you mess with the natural order of things on this island, you might ruin our chances at restoring Waffle Island", Wizard explained, "So don't hurt the bear." She groaned again, louder than before and jumped down. Wizard looked at Molly and asked, "Did you understand that too?"
"I didn't even think of that; I just really didn't want her to hurt the bear."
Wizard simpered and admitted, "Me too… I just said stuff to make her stop." She giggled and Wizard teleported both of them to where Witch Princess set up a tent.
"We're going to be here for a while, so we might as well set up camp." Wizard agreed and set up the tent for himself and Molly. "I should see about food," said Molly, "For the most part, I see honey and mushrooms." She wandered off, looking for an ocean before realizing she was blocked in. "Uh, there's a huge rock here."
"Well, I can't break it because of 'Mr. Natural Order' over here." He rubbed his temples and Molly was looking for a way out. "I'll come with you, Molly," Wizard offered, "We can catch some fish." He walked towards her while Witch Princess complained, "Fish again?!" She sighed and thought, "Maybe I can transfigure it. It's just cells…", and during her thinking, the two of them phased through the rock and popped out of the area into another larger area with farmland available. She saw the ocean and exclaimed, "Perfect!" She ran over to it, searching for her fishing rod with Finn, before Wizard stopped her and said, "I'll lift; you catch." She held out the bag while Wizard levitated fish out of the water and put them in. As he did so, Molly reminded him, "You were saying something about my future, Wizard." He blushed; the moment seemed spontaneous when it was in the boat, but as they were on the island, deep within the mission, he couldn't. "I meant… that your future… is as unlimited as mine is. The only limit is really time… but time makes those accomplishments more fulfilling." She understood what he meant, even though that's not what he meant at all.
Before they caught the last fish, they heard footsteps coming. Wizard gasped, dropped the fish, and cloaked Molly. "Be very quiet." They saw what it was; a young man, looking around curiously. He had a cowlick, and brown eyes like Molly's. He walked closer and closer to them. Wizard was worried that he could see through the cloak, but was relieved to find that he was merely going for the fish. "A carp! I really need this for that rainbow recipe." He picked it up, placed in a rucksack, and walked away, hopefully back to his home. Once he was far enough, he removed the cloak. "Close call. But what's a rainbow recipe?"
"Maybe that's how he has to restore the island…"
"Are you sure it's him, Molly?"
"I'm not sure who else it could be. He seems like the savior for this island."
Wizard contemplated this; he reminded her quite a bit of Molly. Maybe he was the hero. He pondered this while lifting the last fish from its home. She gutted and prepared the fish for their fate, ready to return. Wizard held on to her and phased through the rock again. They returned to their new campsite in the forest. Wizard prepared a campfire and Witch Princess their seats, ready to eat after several hours of not doing so. Witch Princess tried her best to transfigure the fish into something else, and not doing well either. The fish was transfigured into another creature less appetizing: a snake. She moaned, and released a few less-than-desirable words from her mouth. "It's all right, Witch Princess. You'll get better at it." She looked up at him, a little surprised she didn't try to lecture her on something. "Thanks… I guess." Wizard nodded and responded, "Don't worry. It really… takes a solid understanding of biology… to truly understand transfiguration. Practice makes perfect. Did you… want something else?"
"Yeah. I wanted to make it into chicken."
Wizard lifted the chicken, and worked with his fingers to turn the snake corpse into a piece of uncooked chicken, ready for cooking. "Take it", he ordered. She released the levitation from his responsibility, and went to cooking it. They had a good lunch, and Molly brought up the man who came up to take the carp. "Rainbow recipe? Is that what has to be done here? We could make rainbows right now, and leave just in time for supper." Wizard shook his head, chuckling at the thought. "I don't think it would be that simple."
"Molly!"
Finn flew to her at a fast pace, bursting at the seam with excitement. "What's wrong, Finn?" Molly asked. "It's the person you were talking about. I followed him. He was talking to a sprite. He has to be a hero!" The three looked to each other in shock. "But what's a rainbow recipe?" asked Wizard. "It an actual recipe. You give a sprite ingredients, and they make a rainbow, but not just any old rainbow. If you have a badge, you can WALK on it! They gave the person one." Witch Princess sighed, and said, "Crap. It isn't that simple."
"So we just have to help him make rainbows. That should be simple."
