"Ah! Here we are."
Matt had stopped outside a large Audino-shaped building. Josh looked up at it. "What's this? Where are we?"
"This is Arnold's Guild. It's where adventurers go to-"
"Wait. Adventurers?" Josh shook his head. "No. I'm not going in there. I know what you're trying to do, and it's not happening."
"It will allow you to become stronger. Strong enough to defeat the one who's hunting you."
Josh was suddenly pulled out of the bucket and placed on a metal grate. "What are you doing?"
"This is for identification purposes. Listen." Josh couldn't hear anything. Matt picked him up with telekinesis and put him back in the bucket. "Odd. They don't seem to be here." He then looked up at the sky. "Oh! It appears to be getting late. Perhaps they're eating dinner currently, or sleeping." He turned around, and headed back. "No matter. We'll come back tomorrow."

Once they arrived at the house, Matt put Josh back into the pond. "I know it was wrong of me to try to force you to join the guild. I would like you to consider what I said, though."
Josh sighed. He hated to admit it, but what Matt said back there was right. It might take a while, but the guild will make him strong enough to beat Zane. He couldn't travel on land, though, and since most of the places he'd be exploring are on land, it would be difficult. He would have to rely on others most of the time. He fell asleep while thinking about it. Morning would be the best time to decide.
