Rock Flames arrived by then. "I was searching for you all around." He said. "I have bought necessary food supplies. We don't need to worry about going out of food now!" Rock Flames grinned, patting his shoulder bag.
Looking at the situation, he understood to keep his mouth shut for some time. "Xavier, you don't understand. We need you in this quest to stop Raptor. You may never be able to raise your brother if King Jalaar awakens and destroys all living creatures." Lily tried to explain.
Xavier shook his head gloomily and went off to his house. Without turning around he said, "It was nice to meet you guys." Saying so, he opened the front door and went inside his house.
With no idea what to do, we looked at each other. We had our lunch in a hotel. Rock Flames paid the bill. That is an advantage of having an adult with you: you don't pay! We didn't have much of an important conversation. Standing on the streets of Sterlin Town, we were confused of what lies ahead for us.
"Guys, Xavier is too strong to be ignored. We have to take him with us." Rock Flames said. We tried to make sense of what he said. "What do you mean?" Lily demanded. Rock Flames sighed and stated, "We'll kidnap the kid."
Oliver and I were double-thinking whether to run away from this quest. "Are you out of your mind?" Oliver yelled. "What is this – some kind gang mission to kidnap someone?"
I agreed with Oliver. You couldn't force somebody to come with us if he didn't will you. "Ok then. Go stop Raptor. Let's see if you will come back alive." Rock Flames argued. He had a point. We couldn't face Raptor alone. The very thought of it was scary enough to make me sick. We did not respond. Rock Flames said, "We need Xavier on our side. Only then, we have a chance to win. Lily, lets plan for tonight's kidnap."
They both walked away, leaving me and Oliver with the hard decision whether to join them. But we understood the threat Darknor would go through soon. So we joined them in their conversation.
It was night time around 10:00 pm. All this time, we were roaming around the town like total fools, waiting for the moment to finally kidnap Xavier. We checked out different sights like the museum, the gaming area, the garden, etc. We were now finally outside Xavier's house to kidnap him. The people of the town preferred to sleep early at around 8:00 but we didn't want to take risk and waited till 10.
We tip-toed to the back of the palace. The lights were off and we felt safe to kidnap him. "Anybody's a good climber here?" Oliver asked. Lily grinned and came forward.
She climbed inside the half open window. (Why do stupid people have their windows open?) We followed and were soon inside. We looked back at Rock Flames. "I'll be here to see any trouble. I'll whistle if things go wrong." He said. Oliver frowned and said, "The kids always have to do big stuff. Let's go kidnap Xavier."
