The suggestions Ace were tossing around weren't half bad and some of them scared him badly.

In this world of soda waterfalls and sky pirates, anything was possible, wasn't it? Anything could happen to anyone. His thoughts went back to the ship, at one moment Emily had been happy with her stuffed bear but in the blink of an eye the ship was rammed and she fell. The child was gone in the snap of a finger and because of the chaos they had no time to mourn, no time to pay their final respects. She simply disappeared, leaving an Emily shaped hole in the universe. It was almost as if she never existed in the first place and the thought saddened him. In Nowhere they were nothing but fleeting shadows dancing by candlelight, and all it would take to extinguish them was a breeze. After that, they'd be no more. 

Like drawings on a chalk board, their existence would be erased and there probably wouldn't even be a body to bury.

"It's possible," he muttered as they walked on towards the caves. The atmosphere around them changed from dull to duller and in the distance rocks of all shapes and sizes and murky swamp came into view. He shook his head and soldiered on despite wanting nothing to do with the eerie place.

He turned to Ace, thankful for her optimism. Jasper and him needed as much of it as they could get. "Hopefully, then we can go home." He chuckled nervously as he pushed up his glasses. "We'll have a lot of crazy stories to tell our family and friends won't we? I wonder what my sister will think." The thought of seeing them again made him light up but then reality came crashing down. Out of the ten items on the living list, they only had one. 

"Hmm, if it isn't too much to ask." He turned to look at both his companions. "What wish brought you here?" He gave them a weary grin. If they had rushed into the crazy train just like he had then their wishes were probably things they were willing to toss logic away for, right?

There was the sound of something whizzing through the air, and before anyone could react a metal pipe connected with Hakuren's jaw.

???'s aim was almost flawless and despite not remembering her own name, her aim was something she prided herself in. She had hit exactly where she had wanted to and a small smile tugged on the corners of her lips. 

Immediately, Luke and two others figures in cloaks emerged from behind the rocks and from within the tunnels. Leila who was staring at the tunnels as if in a daze was grabbed by ??? and handcuffed. She motioned for Luke and the two other figures to surround the remaining humans before she focused her eyes on them.

"Where is the list?" Was all she stated while the trio tossed their nets on the lost souls. The nets had stones that upon impact with the ground were almost impossible to lift . Soon, the lost souls found themselves trapped under a weird, stringy net that was almost impossible to cut. They were special nets, the kind given to the queen's top guards. How the humans had gotten their hands on it, one could only guess. [/hider]
