The wild and uncultivated track of Ophirs team continued until they felt hungry. Hexel even hallucinated and started palming some sand and put it until his mouth. Asno and Urchin started to imitate what Hexel was doing. Ophir stopped the kids by giving them water. Ophir captured Hexel's cheek and hath him drink some water. Hexel coughed hard until he hath his tongue all out.

Ophir shouted in the middle of the dessert.

"How are we going to find some FISH here?" After what he just declared Ophir suddenly vanished on sight. Hexel carrying the two kids and started to run toward Ophir's now empty spot.

Urchin hath his saliva drip from his mouth at the mention of fish and he started to enchant FISH . Asno also joined Urchin and both disappeared from Hexel's hand. He tries embracing them closer but they just left him with his arms upon his chest. When Hexel thought of the word FISH he got back inside the cave joining Ophir and the kids.

They panicked and started to round around. When they just slip on the saucer wall .They decided to hug each other and shouted in unity. Crumb of bread fell in front of them and they questioned with confused voice LOAVES?

There view became white and blurry when they opened their eyes still hugging each other. They heared Hexel's voice call out to them. They got transported back inside the cave. Reuniting with the Fish team they entered the invisible line and saw a path without wall. They started to walk when they heared a humming voice of a woman. They formed a circle facing outward to hark the voice. But the humming continues to circulate all over the space. The team decided to waddles until the voice got louder.
