I’ll provide as many new status buffs as I can

Watch your back when dealing with a large enemy force

After this you’ll never be outrun by any horse

Your bad knee is acting up but you should be alright

Whatever happens here, you cannot be late to this fight

There’s no greater honour than to save a helpless child

Just be mindful of what you may find out in the wild

Leaf and Sky went on ahead and Todd carried Pebble

Their status screen messages made them all feel terrible

What could be occurring where Twig waited all alone

The children could help but feel that the fault was their own

“We thought he would be safe beside a portal so tiny

And at least he’d be able to run away safely”

Sky could not have guess that while they ran to seek advice

Twig was caught up in a trap of his own god’s device

Leaf was the most panicked of them as he ran around

Feeling more anxious every time his feet hit the ground

“What if I’m not fast enough to save him and he dies”

His feet kept moving faster as the tears fell from his eyes

Sky was silent as she kept imagining the worst

Twig was always so kind despite being weak and cursed

She flew with grace between the trees keeping up with Leaf’s pace

Leaf only cried more when he saw the look on her face

Todd assured young Pebble that with him there they’d be fine

“This quest is a surefire win now that the quest is mine

Back in my day, portals were like a hobby for me

I’ll punch into smithereens any monster I see!”

The four moved like the wind til they began to hear a buzz

And they all knew that they were close to where their comrade was

They came into the clearing and were shocked be what they found

An endless swarm of monsters and their friend upon the ground
