Liz “The Leech” Lackadaisical had gotten away with yet another brilliant crime, she thought as she walked through the Northern Border District. The poor part of town, with its mishmash of buildings hastily built and stacked together, was always the first place to go when the Empire invaded from the north. As such, it was the perfect place to put people who were less legitimate than the merchants and citizens who sought to obey the law. This included her usual buyer, who would give her a great deal of money for her pearl. And what a great find! It was very strange to her that someone would choose to dock their boat in the most dangerous park in town instead of in the docks, but she didn’t dwell on it. Instead, she would just sell the-wait, where did the pearl go? It was in her bag two seconds ago!
“Young lady, I know this doesn’t belong to you,” an elderly lady told her as she examined the pearl she was holding in her right hand, “why not just get a real job and stop bothering people?” This old lady, despite looking to be in her 60’s, was in great shape. If not for her long gray hair and skin that was starting to sag, one might think she was much younger. Wearing a white sailor’s jacket with matching pants, this woman had no fear of the “Leech” in front of her.
Liz was furious; nobody had ever stolen from her before! “You hag! I’ll kill you for that!” she screamed as she pulled out two daggers and charged at her target. The old lady just sighed, moved slightly out of the way to dodge, and punched the lizard woman straight in the gut with her left hand. This was enough to knock her out cold; Liz would not be following up on that threat any time soon, if ever.
A black and white pointer dog with a new red ribbon around her neck ran up to the old lady. “Good girl, Ribbon,” Sara said, smiling as she petted the dog who was wagging her tail, “we need to bring this woman to the police, then you can lead the way.”

As suddenly as Caleb noticed he was gone, Byures popped up from under the pool. He really was quiet when he wanted to be. “I wasn’t gone. Had to check something. There’s an aqueduct in the water. It leads to the water plant; from there you can go to your humans quickly. Hippocampus, can you make air for the boy and bird?”
“Make...air?” Edward asked, “oh, like this?” He blew his breath a bunch. The Hunter just chuckled and smiled in his usual way. “No, not like that. It’s magic. Lets air breathers breath and see in water, like us.”
“Wow, that’s so cool!” Edward squealed. “Can you teach us that?”
Byures smiled, matter-of-factly stating “you know, you two sure are lucky that I like kids. If any of the other bosses had found you, you’d be dead. And now you want me to teach you magic?”
Caleb knew he was uncomfortable for a reason. Apparently they had landed in some kind of crime forest and their guide was some sort of gang leader. Maybe Edward had inadvertently asked too much of their new friend.
“Weeeeeeell,” the alligatorman continued, “I suppose I can teach you two the spell. I can’t cast magic myself, but I’ve seen other Smugglers do it, so I know how. It’s real easy to learn.”
Caleb was relieved, but if the hippocampus was worried about the first half of what Byures said, it didn’t show. He was as happy as always, saying “cool! Thanks, Hunter!”

The pliosaur did not care about the boy swimming up to her; this much was apparent to Caleb, so he decided to use the opportunity to free his friend. Swimming up to the beast, the swordsman waited for the opportune moment and stabbed the sea creature in its left eye with his sword. The beast roared in pain, releasing its prey as it writhed in agony. It then swatted Caleb, who was far too close to the pliosaur to dodge, knocking him away and disorientating the boy.
Thankfully, Edward was still alert, and he saw his friend was in danger. In an instant, the hippocampus transformed form a half fish into a full fish and swam towards Caleb to try and bring them both to the surface. The sea creature was not giving up on its prize that easily though; with its one good eye, she found Edward and the boy who had stolen her meal, and glared at them with a primal rage.
She was about to charge straight at them, but suddenly her anger changed to fear, and the pliosaur swam away in a rush. Edward was also scared; what had replaced the sea creature was something far more fearsome. The massive sea serpent had been looking right at the beast with those purple eyes...wait, purple eyes?
In an instant, Caleb knew that this was Rainbow’s work and that they were safe. In fact, he had saved their lives. For the second time, in the boy’s case. He nudged to Edward and pointed up. The fish dutifully obeyed, bringing them both up and out of the ocean. Edward gracefully lunged toward the back of the boat, transforming into a full horse and landing them both on the deck with no trouble at all. Once they rose to the surface, Caleb gasped for fresh air. Edward may have been fine underwater, but Caleb was not.
“Are you two alright?” Rainbow asked as he heard Caleb gasp for fresh air. Edward may have been fine breathing underwater, but the boy was not.
“Yeah, we’re good,” Edward answered cheerfully. Even after surviving a near death-experience and bleeding all over, the hippocampus was still the same optimist as always. As he said this, Ribbon brought the group a first aid kit. Flower had even grabbed some bandages and dropped them next to Rainbow.
Looking over the young horse skeptically, Ribbon said “well, at least let me dress up those wounds.” He grabbed some bandages and got to work. “Oh, and uh, good work, Caleb” he added.
“Thanks. And...thanks for saving us” Caleb responded.
“No problem. Sorry I overreacted with the ropes,” Rainbow conceded, “I was trying to teach you a lesson, but sometimes you need to react quickly. If you didn’t jump in just now, Edward would probably be dead, so...thanks for being alert.”
“Thanks Rainbow, apology accepted” Caleb said, and he meant it. The boy knew that Rainbow didn’t have any malicious intent and wouldn’t have saved them if he did.
“You two should rest more,” Rainbow told them, “I’ll take care of any work we have for now. We still have a doctor to find, after all.”

A few days had passed. Edward had healed up nicely and the crew of five had made steady progress towards their destination. They had bonded, shared stories, and were now listening to Rainbow tell them about Thorn City.
“...from what the Captain told me, it’s supposed to be a magnificent, bustling place. The city-state is apparently the center of trade for the continent and people of all races live there. And there are tons of parks and nature is everywhere. The center of government is apparently a huge oak tree whose roots span across the entire city.”
“Wow! That sounds cool!” Edward squealed, “I bet the views from there are great!”
“Yeah, but apparently it’s also defensive,” Rainbow said, “if they’re invaded, the roots can rise up to be used as weapons. I hear the buildings all have ivy or potted plants on them for similar reasons.”
Caleb admitted that this place sounded nice. But he did have to wonder “so if you’ve never been there, how will we know where to go?”
“Easy, kid. I have Sara’s address,” Rainbow stated as if it was obvious, “so we can find her first. After we return Ribbon, then we can ask her where to find Roger.”
The boy petted Ribbon as he listened to Rainbow. Caleb admitted to himself that it would be bittersweet when the dog was returned to the Captain’s wife; she deserved to go home, but he would also miss her.
Rainbow was about to continue, but he noticed something in the corner of his eye. He took his spyglass to examine it and saw what looked like a very large oak tree in the distance.
