Doan’s plan

The sky was clearing up and the color of the sky soon went back to a soft light pink. A short, light blue haired boy and a tall, burly, brown haired man were currently walking through a forest with multi colored trees. This forest was home to the now fallen kingdom's favorite fruit.

This was the Gummy Forest, one of the most peaceful places in the land.

Art was currently raising his hand up while he walked. He was hoping he might come across a gapple, because he was starting to feel hungry. Doan looked behind him and noticed the boy had his hand up reaching at the branches above them.

"Lad what are you trying to do?" Doan asked.

"I'm hungry, I want a gapple." Art answered back. He raised his hand higher into the the tree's leaves.

Doan chuckled and kept walking forwards, leaving Art to deal with his little problem.

Finally, when Art shifted his arm slightly to the left closer to the actual tree, he was able to find a white gapple and pulled it right off. He immediately took a bite out of the fruit, soon catching back up to Doan.

"I see you managed to attain one." Doan pointed out, as he turned to his right where Art was indulging in a sweet snack.

"Hmrrm" Art hummed in response, with a mouthful of the fruit.

They continued walking, seeing a few Chocus either swinging or resting once in a while. Once Art finished his gapple he crouched down, and dug through the purple patch of grass.

"What are you doing lad?" Doan asked, as he stopped walking, now curious on the boy's actions.

"I'm planting the trees back." Art patted the ground as he finished planting the seeds. One he finished doing so, they continued walking once more.

Art stepped into a puddle of green water. They entered the next forest, which had green and yellow trees. He had forgotten the name of the forest, but that didn't matter to him as something ahead of him caught his interest.

"Some kind of weird goo?" Art poked the green creature which was laying on the ground and burying itself. The thing didn't seem capable of moving on its own. This was because the green creature had no eyes or mouth nor did it have any arms or legs.

Art stood still as soon as he poked it, pressing the black button on the small machine connected to his shirt. He pressed it several times, the pink pebbles slowly piling up in his hand.

The creature paced its way towards Art as he repeatedly pressed the black button and ate handfuls of pebbles.

He felt this was a perfect time to practice with his candy energy dispenser along with his bracelet which allowed him to create anything with his candy energy.

'Think of a bag or something to catch it with and tie it up!' Art suggested to himself.

When the bracelet gave a light pink glow, a single pink line came out of Art's palm. It detached itself from his hand as it flew forwards. It was thin and moved faster than the green creature. The moment it hit, it coiled around it, binding it tightly.

"Well done lad, looks like you've already improved." Doan complimented Art.

"So I've decided what's going to happen from now on. First, we're going to enter the Uncharted Lands. Then, I'm going to train you. After that we'll do more training deeper into the land. Last of all, we're going to travel to Aqua." Doan declared.

"Truthfully, I've never explored the Uncharted Lands, so we don't know what we will be up against, brace yourself for the worst. Keep your eyes peeled and your guard up." He recommended.

Art nodded and walked alongside his older companion.

"I'm not scared anymore, I'm gonna become strong!" Art stated.

Doan nodded "I don't doubt you at all Lad."

As they got through the vibrant forest with the odd tasting bodies of water, they had finally reached a certain molten wasteland.

Currently, in the nation of Aqua, a young girl with cerulean hair sat on a mat in her room, wearing a white robe that resembled a kimono. She was currently meditating, in order to enhance her focus, therefore improving her ability.

When she opened her eyes, she remained sitting, and raised her arms up slightly, keeping her elbows touching her legs. A few drops of water came out of her palm. They rose up slowly, then they started spinning vertically. Eventually they connected and the drops of water became a long shape now flowing calmly, moving to the sides constantly.

Sienna was satisfied with the results of her little test. She thought that she probably was the strongest in her class at the moment.

"Although, there's also Zac" She remembered. She got up and approached her bed.

She pet the head of a dolphin stuffed animal that was placed by her pillow, then went into her closet, grabbing a blue dress, with an inner white layer, and some laces by the shoulders that looked like little bows. She proceeded to grab white tights, and some nice soft blue flat heels. One she had changed, she went into her bathroom and finished her look.

When she exited, she walked out her room.

"Where are you going Miss Satte?" An older gentleman wearing a white robe with pants of similar cloth. A blue sash was worn on his shoulder in a diagonal manner.

"Your father suggested rather forcefully that we make sure you don't leave the estate."

Sienna however simply rolled her eyes and walked past the gentleman. She had heard the same line over and over again. She was getting tired of it.

"Should we collect any fudge while we are here?" Art decided to walk closer to Doan, now making their way through the Fudge Forest.

"I suppose, although you don't really have anything to actually harvest the molten substance." Doan mentioned, as he noticed Art's empty back.

As soon as Doan said that, Art pressed the button on his dispenser, and shoved a handful of little pink candies into his mouth. Once the warm tingle subsided, he let his thoughts flow as he used them to form two things.

'First, a pickaxe!' Art held his palm open, as his candy energy started materializing into his palm in a pink shape.

'And now some bottles that can hold the hot fudge.' 2 more shapes molded into long cylinders which had ridges on the sides of it at the top. After that, 2 bottle caps popped out, fortunately matching the size of the glass bottle substitutes.

Doan continued observing the boy as he put his former harvester skills to work. He was very resourceful.

Art remembered all the steps to the collecting process, he made it look easy. He cracked open the trunk of the fudge tree, then slid his bottle below the flowing current. Once it all fell into the bottle, the tree's light started fading away growing dimmer. He finished the second one equally as easy.

He screwed on the caps for the two bottles, and held them in his left hand. The two carried on walking.

Art was surprised he hadn't encountered the Black Licorice monster he had seen last time he came to the Fudge Forest. His thoughts were kept short as they had reached the end of the molten region. They had finally reached the Uncharted Lands.
