"Maybe Deigr is right, maybe I should stop trying to have my divine naming ceremony redone. Maybe it's

About time I just accept it, I'll be Unhappy Bunny for the rest of my remaining days.

Yes, maybe it's time I just consider that I can't change this. Maybe it's about time I just accept the reality of the situation. Maybe it's about time I wake up and face reality.

But, what if there is a chance I can get my divine naming ceremony redone? If I give up now when it could have been possible, then what kind of bun would I be? I'm Siorc Ingne, Siorc Ingne, and I won't

Ever give up! There's no way I'll accept this as my divine name!

I won't ever! Not in a million years! I didn't

The moment it was bestowed upon me, and I most certainly won't now! That's what the godbuns want! I won't give them the

Satisfaction that they oh, so grave!

After this, I'll have met all twenty of the godbuns, maybe Emeralbu will agree to redo my divine naming ceremony? Honestly, I don't know, I'm going to go with probably not.

But, it's worth a shot, right?

Of course it is, yes, I know that it's worth a shot!

Uhuhu, maybe they're so out of

The loop, they'll think I haven't had my divine naming ceremony yet! Yes,

That has to be it, of course! If that ends up being the case,

I can finally be Farmer Bunny,

My true destiny, my true calling in life!

Everyone in all of Lagozora will finally see,

I was never meant to be Unhappy Bunny!

Roar, roar, this time, for sure,

Everything will work out! I

Am absolutely certain that this time, I'll get the name I deserve! Yes, yes,

Let's count on that!

Let's make sure this goes smoothly!

Yes, yes, I just need to give them

Some sort of offering,

Then, bam!

Once and for all, I'll finally be Farmer Bunny! I'm

Pretty unfamiliar with Emeralbu, though. What

Am I supposed to offer to her? I have

No idea. To be perfectly honest, I

Didn't learn much about Emeralbu while I was still in school. Why wasn't

There much information about

Her? Maybe she wasn't recorded in history?

I guess that could be it, or maybe

Not, who

Knows? I don't know

All the Driasm either. Nor how it ended up frozen in time like this. Maybe this was Emeralbu's doing? Should I

Bet on that? No, honestly, probably not. What is a Time Erosion Zone anyway? That, I have no idea

Of either. I didn't learn anything about that in school.

Ugh, why do I feel like

This is a major waste of my time?

At the end of the day, I'm probably not getting that redo. No, no,

Let's be positive here! Come on,

Let's be positive! I'm sure

That it will go fine! Maybe Emerlbu is so out of touch with everything, she'll find it in the kindness of her

Heart to redo my divine naming ceremony!

I can feel it, I can totally feel it!

She might give me that

Sweet, sweet redo!

Haha, yes, I can feel it now, she'll say, 'I bestow upon thee, the epithet of Farmer Bunny!'

Oh, I can see it!

Uhuhu, I'm seeing the stars!

Let's give her all the offerings I can muster! I

Don't know what I could possibly give, but

I'll figure it out as I go! Maybe something

Juicy? Perhaps, but, is there anything juicy around these parts?

Uh, probably not.

So, what am I supposed

To do? I don't know!

Aha, I wish I knew a thing or two about the Driasm, but I simply just don't. I don't think Zhulong and Niquel do either. I guess I

Can't just offer anything. But, I

Can't think of anything I can

Even give!

Perhaps I should just

Turn around and forget all

This. Maybe that's for the best. No, no, come on, now, I

Have to at least try!

I have to at least meet with this godbun! Yes, I

Should at least try! Why move away from the

Finish line when I've

Already reached it?

That's right, I've already gotten this far, I reached the fork in the road.

Everything hinges on

Me meeting Emeralbu! I

Am certain this is a once in a millennium opportunity.

Yes, of course, it's a once in a millennium opportunity! I can do this, I totally can!

But, what if

Emeralbu is a hostile godbun. Oh no, oh no, what

If she attacks me just for trying to meet her?!

Stop, stop, it'll be fine! I

Have to be positive here!

Of course, I just have to keep my head

Up! What's the worst that could happen? Divine thunder?

Let's not get struck

Down by a clap of electricity!

Not like she'll strike me, but still.

Okay, I got this. There's

No way I'm going to get turned into a shocking magnet.

Or, will I? Ugh,

Why do I feel like this is

All about to go downhill?

Yikes, I can feel everything about to slip. Also, what

Is this sense of doom flowing through

Me? Why do I feel like something horrible is about to happen back at home?

No, no, come

On, Siorc, happy

Thoughts! Nothing is going to happen.

Ugh, I

Need to shake this

Horrible feeling off.

Agh, why do I feel like something is about to come crashing down back at home? I

Probably shouldn't ignore this

Pretty nasty feeling.

You know what? Maybe

I should leave now. No, no,

Why do I keep bouncing back to this point?!

I need to at

Least meet with the godbun before I

Leave. Yes, I have to. I can't

Go back home now. Now is not the time! Right,

Everything will be fine,

There's nothing wrong here. Nothing

At all. That's

Right, it's all going to go fine. I just a bunch of nerves.

Everything is fine.

Don't turn around now!

Once this is all over, I can home, right. It's time to find something to offer to Emeralbu."

Finding himself in a peculiar green cavern with limestone glowing against the walls, the bun held the sides of his head. Where is he? How in the world did he get here? He doesn't have the foggiest of an idea, but something about this place did not quite feel right at all. Is this really where Emeralbu was hiding? Maybe he had taken the wrong path.

Loud buzzing racket off in the distance, the bun placed his hands behind his ears. What could that noise have been? Something about this cavern didn't quite feel right. What should he do? Should he make a run for it? No, why would he do that after he came all this way? There's no way he could do that now.

"Mellem told us that in order to meet Emeralbu, we have to offer her a gemstone," Niquel said. "We're going to have to to take a moment to mine, are you ready for this?"

"What kind of gemstone does she want?" Zhulong asked.

"If I recall correctly, Green Ruby Agate," Niquel responded turning around. "We should probably get digging now. I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling something irreversible might happen if we stay here too long."

[Where should I start digging?] A crackling voice asked through the Talkmaster B's speakers.

"I'm not sure, we'll have to just dig in the cracks in the walls and hope for the best," Niquel said as she sifted through her pocket. "Take this. We need to hurry."

Musty scent on the air, the vampa's ears burned. Oh, no are there ambees hiding in here? No, that scent didn't match. Whatever it is, he can't linger around here for too long. Cracking his knuckles, the bun raced towards the walls. Little axe locked, loaded and ready to go, the bun slapped the wall with a fury, and then some.

Shining light peeking through the cracks, the young adult kept the momentum going. Dark orange gem locking onto him, the bun shook his head. This isn't it. Hopping off towards the next wall, the action repeated itself. Green Ruby Agate, where are they? Green Ruby Agate, come out, come out wherever they are.

Pitch black gem throbbing, the farmer grit his teeth. What is this thing? Creature looking about ready to crack, the young adult hopped off towards the next wall. He didn't see anything, nope! Please, don't be an ambee egg! He'll be six feet under if they come out of that thing! Racing off towards the opposite wall, the session of doom continued.

Dark blue rock crumbling into nothing, smoke was ready to billow out of the bun's ears. Bluesidian or all minerals? Are the walls trying to mock him? He bet they were! He needs to focus and get it all together before it's too late! Slapping his cheeks, that musty scent only grew stronger. Oh, no, time is running out! He has to find the jewel now.

"Have you found any Green Ruby Agate yet?" Niquel asked from across the room.

"No, I haven't, sorry," Zhulong said, closing his eyes. "Are you sure it has to be Green Ruby Agate?"

"It has to be Green Ruby Agate." A headshake. But, a tweeting sound soon threw itself into the mix.

Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet.

"The Cashewdinals are here," Zhulong groaned. "There isn't much time left. Remind me, what shape is Green Ruby Agate?"

"Octagonal, if I recall correctly," Niquel said, huffing. "Oh, no, they're coming, there's not much time left."

Tweets of doom getting louder, the young adult kept the momentum going. He has to hurry, he can't let those birds come anywhere near here! One peck, and everyone here will be a goner for a whole week! He can't let that happen! Earring blade out in front of him, the bun aimed for the high ground. Come on Green Ruby Agate, show themselves!

Dull light peeking through the crack in the wall, the bun gave the sediment a good long kick. Alright, prize, it's time to reveal itself to the world for everyone to see! Weak spot crumbling into nothing, the young adult's ears gave the crack the beating of a lifetime. He can feel it, the gem is close! The final layer is here!

Large, dull green gem dropping from the rubble, the young adult flapped upward. There it is. He has to hurry! Creature swooped up, the bun raced off towards the midway point. Surely, this has to be it. Tweets of doom getting ever so closer, the dooming feeling only got stronger. The chashewnaries are coming! Code tan, code tan!

"Well, it's a little bigger than I expected, but that will do," Niquel shouted. "Hurry and head for the exit!"

Running as fast as his legs could carry him, the next cavern soon awaited him. Multiple breaks in the walls looking around ready to hold hands, the bun's jaw dropped. Which way is he supposed to go?! Just how hidden does Emeralbu want to be? She may as well be invisible at this point! Which way is the right way? He needs to narrow it down right now!

[Which way should we go?] A crackling voice asked through the Talkmaster B's speakers.

"Let's listen carefully for any whispers," Zhulong said, hands behind his ears. Eyes opening, he then pointed. "That way!"

Finger pointed off towards the westernmost crevice, the bun flew with all his might. Please, let this be the right way! Whispers aplenty only getting louder, a wave of hope raced through the bun. This has to be the right way! Placing his hands behind his ear, he swore he could hear a groan somewhere towards the right side.

Large, spacious nothing laid out in front of him, the bun kept his ears open. It's getting louder, he can feel it, soon, he'll be right in front of Emeralbu. Yes, it's close, very close, keep going. Corridors getting shorter as the seconds went by, the bun slapped his cheeks. Almost there, he can do this. Just a little more, just a tiny bit to go.

Shiny green door locking eyes with him, the vampa knew this is it, the final destination. Twisting the knob back, the farmer clapped his hands together. Divine above, his apologies for what he's about to do. Entrance creaking open, the young adult crossed his fingers. Please, let Emeralbu be here.

"Ugh, who dares to open the door to my abode?!" an echoing voice asked. The voice then rose. "Wait a second, I recognize that face! It's Unhappy Bunny! You dare so much as come into my home without my explicit permission! Tch, I thought I added at least three thousand crevices in this place, whatever." She then flapped upward. "You'd better hurry up and tell me what you want!"

Flapping up towards the cave ceiling had been a tall, dark skinned divine rabbit with long jade green hair that reached to about her backside. Portion of her hair pulled up into two tiny pigtails, her robe had been covered with jewels that looked like they had come from the last century, and then some. Or, maybe they had been even further back? He didn't know, and he supposed he hardly cared. Oh, well, it's about time to get this over with.

[Hello there, Emeralbu, I'm sorry for disturbing you, but my sister told me you might be willing to redo my divine naming ceremony?] A crackling voice said through the Talkmaster B's speakers. But, such had been me with a deep throated guffaw.

"Excuse me? Could you repeat that?" Emerlbu asked in a sarcastic tone. "That dumb little robotic voice that thing of yours made wasn't loud enough!"

[Hello there, Emeralbu, I'm sorry for disturbing you, but my sister told me you'd be willing to redo my divine naming ceremony!] A crackling voice shouted through the Talkmaster B's speakers.

"You sure tell funny jokes, Unhappy Bunny!" Emeralbu exclaimed. "Listen, I may be hidden away in this slither outside of time, but that doesn't mean I'll give you that sweet, sweet, sweet redo you oh so want!" She then stretched her arms out, screen out in front of her. "See this? You lost the Mystic Carrot Bowl! Tch, were you even trying in that last round? Doesn't look like you were to me!" She then snatched the gem. "And, you seriously think this tiny little agate is enough to make me bend down and give you the name Farmer Bunny? Tough luck!"

[I'm sorry, I promise I'll find a bigger jewel for you! Consider it my job for today as the god's little plaything!] A crackling voice shouted through the Talkmaster B's speakers.

"Nice try, little plaything!" Emeralbu shouted. "You know what? Since you still seem to think you're a farmer, I'll send you home right now! There's a surprise waiting for you there that you just can't miss!"

Poof.

Blinding light taking the trio away, the  vampa closed his eyes. But, what waited for him when he opened them once more was a sea of terror. Whiffing up a toasty scent, the young adult's entire body shook up a storm. Fields set ablaze, a message soon locked onto him in the center of the vegetable fields.

[You're our little plaything now, remember that, Unhappy Bunny!] the burring message beneath him shouted.

Twisting flames ready to dance around him, the young adult had become one with the ground. Little reminder giving him a warm, chilling embrace, tears streamed down the vampa's face. Why, why did this happen? As the flames kept their rampage going, one last sea of thoughts flipped a switch from within as the world of unconsciousness claimed the bun as a prize.

The godbuns will pay for this!

He's done playing their games!

This means war!
