Taran and his friends all stared helplessly as the Searats gathered around, cackling and sniggering like Rabbid Hyena's, Until Raga Bol held up his hook to silence them.

"Now then, me Buckos." He said, as he gazed at the four captives with interest. "What prey tell, should we do with these Hapless finds?"

All at once, The Searats called out Ideas.

"Hang 'em!"

"Skin em!"

"Make dem walk da plank!"

The companions struggled against their bounds, desperately trying to pry loose.

"Oh great Belin." Cried Fflewddur. "This is even worse than the Horned Kings dungeon!"

"Taran." Gulped Eilonwy. "What do we do?!"

"We'll… think of something…" Murmured Taran, completely unsure of what to do, He instinctively thought to reach for the Sword, Only to find one of Wirga's sons holding it.

"Now, Now Mess mates." Said Bol, waving his paw and hook. "I believe these scallywags could prove to be a bit of use."

"U-Use?" Asked Taran. "What do you mean?"

"You know the lay of the land better than us." Explained Bol. "And just for that, You'll be kept alive… for now."

Taran could feel his blood turn cold upon hearing this.

Much later.

A few hours later, Bol and his band set once more, With Taran and his friends taking the lead as a lead rope was wrapped around their wrists, which was held by Blowfly, The Slave master, two other Rats prodded themforward like Cattle as the unwitting group, lead the Searats through the woodlands, completely unsure of where they were meant to go.

"Oh Great Belin." Muttered Fflewdurr. "This is definitely worse than the Dungeons."

"Oh, would you give it a rest Fflewddur?" Taran whispered irratably. "We've got enough problems with your damn winging!"

"Taran, Don't be horrid!" Scolded Elilonwy.

"Eilonwy, We're being held hostage by Searats, Forced to be their damn guides and possibly losing Hen Wen's trail!" Taran snarled. "Me being "Horrid" is the least of our concerns!"

"Silance up there!" Snarled Blowfly. "

Eventually, they all came to a halt in front of a Large Rock in the Middle of the Forest.

"Right now Bucko's." Bol growled. "Where are we supposed to be?"

Taran and the others looked between themselves before Taran answered. "We uh… We're now at… The Lonely gorge!"

"The Lonely gorge ey?" Questioned Raga.

"Doesn't look like a Gorge to me." Said Ferron.

"Yeah, wot 'e said." Agreed Rinj.

The Searats began muttering among themselves, Already beginning to Question the Captain's strange decision for the Prisoners.

"Hmm, Mayhaps using them as guides was a bit too hasty of an Idea." Wirga said.

"Raga Bol growled irritably, in an instant, he took out his Sword and slammed it against a Nearby tree stump. "ENOUGH!" He roared, upon hearing his command, the crew fell silent as he raved at them.

"I didn't survive the loss of my ship and most of our fellows, Just to hear you Lily livered bunch o' swine question my authority! When I say we use these…"

As Bol raged at his crew, Eilonwy thought she felt some kind of presence somewhere, She peered around and suddenly spotted her Bauble, hiding in the beaches of a nearby tree, out of sight from the Rats, But still disable enough for her to see, Her face lit up with delight upon seeing it, Then suddenly, Wirga was suddenly hovering over, seemingly studying her.

"You have a most intriguing way of you…" She noted with an Ozze to her voice that made Eilonwy's stomach churn. "Your look, Your standing, Noble yet… Ancient."

"I'm sorry…?" Eilonwy was taken aback.

"The Blood of the Sea King is strong with you." Wirga continued. "Princess of Llyr, You would be the most powerful of your lineage yet."

Eilonwy was disturbed. "Wha…What do you know…?"

"Wirga!" Raga Bol came over instantly. "Stop meddling with the Prisoners!" He grabbed her by the scruff of her neck and shoved her aside, Before turning to Taran and putting his hook against the tip of his nose.

"You think you're clever eh?" He snarled. "Leadin us in circles? Hopin we get lost? Hopin you could escape in the confusion? ACTUALLY MOVING THE PLOT OF THIS STORY ALONG?!"

"...What was that last part again?" Asked Taran.

Bol just growled savagely. "Joke around all you want, It won't save you in the end… I'll make sure of it."

He then turned back to the crew and called out. "Maties! These landlubbers have outlived themselves, LETS FLAY EM!"

The Searats cheered, waving their weapons in the air?"

"WHAT?!" Cried Fflewddur, As Bol raised his scimitar to strike at Taran, The young pig keeper suddenly halted him. "Wait! Wait!... That's it?"

"What?" Asked Bol.

"You take us prisoner, Force us to be your guides and now, just because we're someplace you don't want to be in, You want to kill us?!" Asked Taran incredulously.

The Searats all looked at each other apprehensively, as if any response they would make would be shot down instantly, Evan Bol and Wirga looked slightly abashed.

"We didn't even know where we were going ourselves before your rats caught us." Taran went on. "And you just decided to black mail us into leading you on?! We did just that!"

"Yeah, What Great Lord said." Agreed Gurgi.

"If you wanted us to lead you somewhere, you could have been more specific on where you wanted to go." Added Eilonwy. "We barely even know where we are ourselves at the moment, doing something else, And thanks to you lot we're now lost ourselves."

Eilonwy's eyes darted from the Rats to the tree, Anxiously waiting for her Bauble to make its move.

"So what are ye saying exactly?" Asked Blowfly.

Fflewdurr spoke up. "What they mean is, you can't expect to get where you want to go in the snap of a finger, I mean, You really think every traveler you meet is just going to point you in the right direction without specifics?"

Bol thought for a moment, Than looked up. "Yeah… you have a point… still killing ye all anyway."

But before that could Eveneven happen, A bright flash of yellow light erupted all around them, Blinding the Searats momentarily as they all averted their eyes from the light, It suddenly flickered away into nothing, Allowing the Searat's to see clearly once more.

"What in Hell Gates was that?" Asked Glimbo.

"Whatever it was, It's over now." Scoffed Bol. "Now let's get on with-"

He turned to face the Prisoners, Only to find none there!

"Wha-?! They're gone!" Exclaimed Bol.

"And that Sword too!" Proclaimed Rinj, pointing a claw to the Son of Wirga that was carrying it, All sprawled out and unconscious, The Sword he was holding was now gone.

"Don't just stand there ye lily livered rapscallions! Find them!" Ordered Bol.

Meanwhile,

Taran managed to reclaim his sword while the light from the Bauble was distracting the Searats, He, Eilonwy, Fflewddur and Gurgi ran as fast as they could to escape Bol's crew, Once they were sure they were far enough away, They stopped to catch their collective breaths.

"Phew… We're home free…" Panted Eilonwy. "Figuratively… Not literally."

"I should hope they aren't following us." Muttered Fflewdurr.

"I don't think so." Said Taran looking back. "We should be safe for now."

Eilowny's bauble then zipped up and brought itself into Eilonwy's outstretched hand. "There you are." She coed. "I'd almost forgotten you were hiding when the rats captured us. Such a wonderful save."

"Am I allowed to be creeped out?" Asked Taran.

"I'm being a Mother Taran!" Snapped Eilonwy.

"Well… Now what?" Asked Gurgi. "How do we find Piggie now?"

Taran then realized the situation and slumped to the ground. "Ah, Now we've lost the trail." He said. "We'll never find Hen Wen now."

Eilonwy patted his shoulder. "I'm sorry Taran… We'll retrace our steps, I promise."

At that moment, Fflewdurr noticed something. "I say, do any of you see these strange prints?"

"Prints?" Asked Taran, he got up and went over to Fflewdurr, looked down at what he was looking at and his eyes' widened with delight. "Pig Tracks!" He exclaimed. "Hen Wen's bean here!"

"Oh that's wonderful!" Said Eilonwy.

"So we go back to looking." Asked Gurgi.

"You bet, C'mon! She can't be far now!"

And with renewed faith, the Companions set off once more, Unaware of the Blue furred creature watching them go.

Meanwhile,

Back with the Searats, Bol waited impatiently with Wirga as Glimbo, Blowfly and Jibsnout returned.

"Well?" He asked.

"They've just disappeared Cap'n, Not a trace found." Said Blowfly.

Bol growled as he swung his Hook at the Trio, They ducked vigorously to avoid getting hit as Raga Bol raged his disapproval!

"Imbeciles!" He turned to Wirga. "This is just wonderful, Now we're lost in unknown territory!"

"At least be grateful that we can still make Camp." Said Wirga.

"Yes, But on limited supplies." Said Bol. "We need to find new Allies, One's we can use to get back on our feet."

"Then perhaps you can trust in me." Said a Voice.

Raga and Wirga looked up into the Tree's, as did all the other Rats, As three Barn Owls glided down to meet them, The Leader of the Trio was Large Light Brown Owl, With a Black Wing, Two Silver Blade like things attached to his Talons and his Face concealed by a Mask, resembling a Pokemon character."

"And why should I do that?" Asked Bol, almost immediately reaching for Scimitar.

"In a world of Packs and Predators, The Pack must always stay together in order to survive." Said the Owl. "I know you Raga Bol, and I know of your attempted uprising against Lord Jargafar, I am here, To propose a… Business Opportunity."

"I'm listening." Bol said.

The Sulawesi Mask Owl grinned beneath his mask.
