Jesper didn't see anyone in the gas station, but other than that it didn't seem out of the ordinary. Suddenly, Jesper saw a figure outside, prepared to pump gas into the motorized unicycle. Then, Jesper noticed something a bulletin board near the exit.

"WANTED BREACHERS!"

There were a few pictures of various individuals underneath of this. Jesper saw a picture of Eddie. The picture was labeled with different colors, and several different numbers. Prices. From what Jesper could discern, the color coding had something to do with the organizations That Boy had mentioned earlier, and whether they wanted him dead or alive. Jesper also saw a picture of himself (although this wasn't actually a photograph. Instead it was a rough, drawn sketch). Sandra and William were written on small index cards pinned to the wall. There was even rougher sketches of those two.

Eddied exited the bathroom and then picked up a bag of beef jerky.

Ah, the open road. There's nothing quite like an empty tank and a full bladder.

A hooded man was sitting, alone, inside of the tent. The room was candle lit. There was a small radio playing gentle music in one corner of the room and a table in between William and Jessica and the hooded man. "Hello," said the hooded man, "I am Jared, of the Ancient Root Clan." Jared blinked. His eyes became a bright purple momentarily, and then returned to a dull gray state.

He smiled fondly at William, as if they were old friends. "Ah, Sandra! It's so nice to see you here. We want to let you know that your brother will be safe. And you're all safe here, too. I'm of a rare sort- an oracle. One of the very few in this... erm... well, I'm the only one in this... room. But I am of the very few in this... dungeon."

Jared smiled, "I suppose you want your book back, William. And, unfortunately, I don't have it. But I have so much more." Jared stood up and went to the back of the tent and pulled out a large wooden chest, painted bright red with a purple horse painted onto the side. "The Bosnians that used to live here called this place the 'Kreator Lažne Nade' or the 'Creator of Dreams.'"

Jared put the chest on the table. "The Bosnians were foolish. They didn't realize that this was the happiest place in all of the Earth. They tried to improve it, or left. Now, the Ancient Root Clan has taken leadership of this section of the dungeon, among some others. Nearly anyone can live here, happily, for their whole life. There is no need to leave this wonderful place."

Jared opened the chest. The chest was full of books. Hundreds of books. "Your book isn't in here, William, but you won't need it with these. This has all you could possibly want to make your own magical spells. You could do whatever you like."

Sandra spoke up, "sorry to interrupt... I'm not really sure about all this magic stuff but when will Eddie and Jesper be getting here?"

"Eddie will get here soon," said Jared.

"And Jesper?" Sandra asked.

"Jesper's a thief. There is no place for him in places like this," said Jared. "But don't worry. We'll kill him soon enough."

Jesper unicycled down the red hallway, Eddie on his shoulders. The hallway seemed to go on for miles. Finally, there was a sudden change. The red hallway, although still present, was interrupted by an odd sight to the side. A gas station. The gas station seemed empty, but Jesper couldn't see anyone inside. In addition to the gas station, the gas in the motorized unicycle also seemed to be just about empty. Jesper would likely need to refill it soon.

"Jesper," said Eddie, suddenly, "I've gotta pee. Really bad. Really, really, bad."

Jessica smiled happily, and led William to one of the tents. "It's right this way. My friend has it," she said, still smiling. She led him towards a mysterious, dark purple tent.

The fly reported back. "Yo," it said in fly-speak, which of course only William, with years of experience, could understand, "ran into some magical barrier off of the edge of the pier. Also, there seems to be some sort of door underneath of the water, facing up at the sky." (Obviously, this is a rough translation, as most fly-speak to English translations often are.

@DriveEMOut

I was just wondering which color path you had taken, red, blue, or yellow.

Jesper looked back to see the man's smiling face. He had caught the knife in midair, right before it had hit his purple cloak, and then snapped it effortlessly with his hand. "You moronic thief," he said to Jesper. "You think you can kill me? Val'ichbal? Duke of-" he began smugly, but then was interrupted mid sentence as That Boy tackled him to the ground. The two began wrestling on the ground.

"Go! Go! Get out! Find the blender!" said That Boy, "My motorized unicycle is outside! It has a page of William's spell book under the radio!"

Jesper saw the unicycle outside. The room lacked the stone walls present in the other rooms he had been in. Instead, it had three long hallways. One blue, one red, and one yellow (sort of an off, dark yellow. You know, like it's not the vibrant yellow. But not too dark. Like, just a bit darker than the regular yellow that often accompanies red and blue). Eddie began to run towards the unicycle. It seemed that, in order to ride it, Jesper would have to put Eddie on his shoulders. Thankfully, the Gyroscopic engineering of the motorized unicycle would support their weight if needed.

William, Sandra, Emily, and Jessica all met up. Jessica giggled, "of course I know about your spell book. Everything you ever need is here, so of course the spell book is. You love that little book don't you? Isn't that sweet, Emily?"

Emily nodded and pulled out a camera. She began to snap pictures of the pier. "See? Emily has her camera. That's all she needs- to capture the beauty of this place, and now she can share it with you! Don't you love it here? Don't you want to stay forever?"

Jessica fiercely grabbed his arm and smiled warmly at him. Sandra nervously ate the ice cream, and glanced at you and Jessica wearily.

The boy Jesper had run into didn't seem at all intimidated by the knife.

"What's up?" he asked, nonchalantly. He threw the door closed just as the bear man arrived. Jesper heard the heavy creature slam into it.

After the boy secured the door, he turned around and faced Jesper. "Be careful with that knife, you might hurt someone," said the boy. He extended a hand to Eddie. Eddie shook it. "The name is... erm..." he considered this for a moment, "you may call me...'That Boy,'" he said, simply. "I already know you two. Eddie and Jesper, correct? You've both got sizable bounties. The Great Imperials, the Winter Clan of Wrath, the Five Fingered Alliance, the Seven Headed Cheese Monsters, the Ancient Roots and the Unfortunate Knights want you both. Thankfully, only the Great Imperials and the Ancient Roots know that Sandra and William are in here."

They heard another pounding sound on the door. "We're going to kill you!" angrily shouted the half-bear. "And that would be the Five Fingered Alliance. Well, a part of it, obviously. Thankfully, I'm part of the only group that doesn't want you dead or captured- The Independent Electric Marshmallow Bellybutton Resistance. Look, I didn't name it. Anyways, we're going to need to get out of here."

That Boy led them to the bridge, "Good news- most of the groups only want to capture Eddie. Bad News- They all want to kill you Jesper... for some reason you have the highest bounty... Anyways- not important!"

That Boy crossed the bridge and quickly opened the door that led them to the next room. Suddenly, a man appeared on the other side, holding a revolver. "Don't move," he said, aiming the gun at the three of them. He smirked. "So those five buffoons from the Five Fingered Alliance didn't kill you, huh? I suppose the Great Imperials could use the money from the bounty..."

@SpookySquid Would you like to see more male or female characters? Or does it matter to you?

@Redthorn Anvil

Doesn't matter. Thanks for asking, though.

"Oh, come on... who wouldn't want to stay here? It's calm. Relaxing. You don't need to worry about anything. In fact, Emily has been staying here for years. It's like a paradise. Wouldn't you want to stay here with me and not have to worry about Jesper and that boy? I can even get your spell book back for you..." as Jessica spoke, she reached out and grabbed William's hand seductively, pulling him towards the roller coaster.

The sun remained in the same spot, but something about it's beauty intensified, as if someone had turned up the beaut-o-meter. In fact... they had been walking around for about an hour... why hadn't the sun set yet?

@SpookySquid

Ahh... thanks, that explains a lot. Also one more thing, is there a general "direction" I should be going right now? My character seems literally lost haha.

@xChrome

You'll see...
