Chapter 1
"We have to find those vents!" Kendra said exasperated. They had been looking for the vents to the backpack for weeks but nothing had shown up.
"Don't worry he has food, he'll last for a while." Grandpa said weakly.
"How about this! We all split up into search teams!" Seth suggested.
"But we have no idea where to look!" Tanu said sadly.
"You guys can mope around but I"m going to go search." Seth said as he snatched his emergency kit.
"Be careful!" Grandma shouted after Seth's retreating back. In reply Seth shook his emergency kit.
Seth closed the back door behind him and breathed in deeply. A couple of fairies zipped past him. They had never really forgiven him when he turned one into an imp. He glanced a round and saw three pairs of eyes staring at him. "Hi! I know you're there," Seth added when the eyes stayed there. Finally Newel, Doren and Verl climbed out of the bush they had been hiding in.
"See, I told you it was a bad hiding place!" Newel said angrily poking Verl in the chest.
"Yeah, now what are we gonna do?" Doren complained. "We can't follow him now." Doren added in a exasperated tone.
Seth watched the satyrs in amusement for a while then he asked, "Follow me where?"
"Ugh, now he knows and it's your fault!" Newel said shoving Verl to the ground.
"You guys! It's not Verl's fault! Anyways I might let you go where ever it is that you want to go." Seth added.
"Nah, you probably wouldn't." Verl said,"That's why we were hiding."
"Try me," Seth answered.
"We want to go to the inverted tower!" they chorused together.
"I'd take you but I'm not allowed to go and we're looking for Warren, remember." Seth said.
"Yeah, whoever finds Warren first gets 200 C Batteries." Newel said in monotony.
"Don't you guys want the batteries?" Seth asked surprised at Newel's reaction.
"Yeah, of course we want them! But it's impossible to find him. He's stuck in an extra-dimensional space! Most likely forever!" Doren added.
"Boy, you guys sure are the optimists." Seth said as he walked off.
"Where are you going?" Verl asked.
"I'm looking for Warren, unlike you!" Seth shouted as he entered the forest.
After a couple minutes of walking around the trees began to get thicker. Seth continued onward, undaunted by the distorted shadows the trees made. As Seth trudged through the gigantic forest he heard something coming from the top of a small hill. Curious, he quickly scaled the hill. When he got to the top he found a strange hole. From within the hole he heard a familiar voice. "Yahtzee! Yippee! Who's the best? Me!" Seth knew that voice. It was Bubda!
"Bubda? Is that you?" Seth yelled down the hole.
"Yes! Where your voice come from?" Bubda answered.
"Can't you see the hole? It's up here!" Seth shouted.
"No!" Bubda said.
"Hang on! I'm coming down there!" Seth shouted before sliding into the hole.
When Seth got down there Bubda shouted happily. "Seth, here! Play Yahtzee?" he asked.
"Not now Bubda. Where's Warren?" Seth asked as he realized that Warren was not in the room.
Bubda's face grew taut with fear. "Warren evil creature! Warren bad monster!" Then Bubda screamed and ran out the now visible vent/hole.
