Chapter Five

*AN: Wakfu is NOT MINE. oof.*

One day later...

My dragoturkey's squawks echo in my ears as we approach Dofus Island. It was the only place we knew Amalia didn't know how to get to.

Adamai guides us to a safe spot to land. "Are we going to release them?" I ask as we set down on a flat rock.

"No, we need a way to get home," Adamai responds. "This is only for a few weeks, remember?"

"Right."

I unbridle my dragoturkey and release it into the field below the rock. "It's enclosed on all sides, they shouldn't be able to escape," I say as Yugo and Adamai follow suit.

"We're going to need a place to set up camp. Any ideas?"

"There's a clearing just beyond those trees," says Yugo, pointing to a cluster of trees on the other side of the ridge.

"How are we going to get over there?"

He shrugs. "I figured we could just use our portals and Adamai could transform."

"I don't know how to make portals," I sigh. "The only thing I know how to do is create fire, but even that's rather small." I show them the flame I create when I open my fist. "Can you teach me?"

"Sure, watch me." Yugo circles his hands, creating a portal. I mime him and create an orange portal.

"I did it!"

"You're not done yet. To create a full portal, you have to open the other side." He points to the other side of the ridge, and another portal opens up.

I mime him again, but the portal in front of me closes when the other one opens next to Yugo's. "Where'd it go?"

He sighs. "Keep the portals open at the same time. Open another one."

I keep a hand on the portal on the ridge, and open another portal in front of me with the other. "I assume we jump through now?"

"Yep." We both jump through, and for a split second I see a white void. Then we're out the other side, and I hit the ground.

Yugo extends a hand. "You get used to it as you practice," he says as I take his hand.

"So..." Adamai asks as he lands next to me, "where is this clearing?"

"Right there." Yugo points to a path through the trees. I can barely see a clear patch of grass a few feet down.

"That's perfect!" I exclaim and shoot down the path. I sit down on the soft-looking grass and sigh in relief. The dragoturkey saddle was rather abrasive and gave me rashes.

I open the top of my haven bag and disappear inside. I check to see if any of the stuff inside the bag has shifted, but nothing looks out of place. I make a quick stop to check on Yuga, who is asleep currently, and close the door. As I'm climbing back out of the bag, Yugo spots me.

"You had a haven bag this whole time?"

"Yeah."

"Adamai, you can stop searching for a cave! Ophelia has a haven bag!" His face is brighter than the sun at this news.

"Really?!" Adamai exclaims as he shoots into the clearing.

"Yep..."

"Can we come inside?" they ask in unison, identical faces of eagerness staring at me.

"Sur-"

They hop inside the bag before I could finish the word.

O-O

"That's a refrigerator, Yugo."

I sigh. I had given them the quick tour, and they had asked what felt like every question in existence.

"Are we done?" I ask while shooting them a glare I know will shut them up.

They do. "Good. Adamai, here. Yugo, there." I point to the two couches in the living room. "Go. To. Sleep."

I step into my room and sigh again. Today has been exhausting. I barely slept on that dragoturkey for fear of falling off, that portal sucked a lot of energy out of me, and the million questions was the last straw. I relish the softness of the bed, and for the second time, am asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.
