[quote]"Visitors don't usually come up this way, y'know," the fox called over the wind. Far below, the cruise ship was letting off its final passengers. "Too fat to try the climb, I'd wager. Ha! You'll be the first in a long while."[/quote]

Arthur's heart sank as soon as he heard those words. That meant those scary monsters were going to be here, right? This dream was already bad enough. All he wanted to do was avoid making it into a nightmare. He did not want to upset the fox, so he kept his lips sealed, but his expression became worried.

As they reached the top and pulled away from the edge of the cliff a safe distance Arthur stiffly got off the fox and wobbled wearily. After everything he had gone through it was not that surprising he was tired. Climbing the cliff seriously took more effort than he could have imagined. Wait... why did he feel tired in a dream?

He flopped onto his back and stared up towards the sky. He did not want to accept that this was not a dream. He wanted to deny it above everything. He just wanted to be home. He sniffed unhappily.

"I want to go home."

He sat up after a short while wincing in pain and looked at the fox. "How do I get back home?" He did not care about this Dooa unless they could help him go home.
