"Goodness me," Came the voice of Dungeon Master as he walked over from behind one of the war goats, "Puck?"

"Oh Dungeon Master, I beg intrusion but some of these adventurers have angered my king and--" Puck trailed off when he noticed the old one watching him.

Dungeon Master shook his head, "I have a matter of urgency that requires all of them, however, your meddling may be of some use, Trickster."

Lazheros grumbled, "Surely Dungeon Master you can reverse this effect."

"Or at the very least MAKE HIM reverse this spell?" Irzen asked shaking his fist at Puck.

"I'm afraid not, Healer. I did not create this therefore I cannot undo it. To the far south lies the Gnome-gnome town along the Tinder mountain range that runs along the coast of the Fire Sea. One of Venger's servants is causing havoc which could end up leveling the town entire. Since you're all 'children' so to speak, getting in there wouldn't be a problem." Dungeon Master told the party.

"Gnome-gnome town?" Lazheros shook his head in disbelief, "There's nothing of great importance there besides the small folk who have been there for generations."

"Never heard of it." The Swordsman quipped.

"Me neither." The Shield Maiden added hunching her shoulders.

"Maybe Venger is back with a vengeance considering the last place we blasted our way out of. I know I wouldn't be too happy if one of my cities was destroyed by interlopers." The elementalist quipped.

Puck started to fade when Dungeon Master held out his hand freezing him in place, "Normally I wouldn't intervene but since you decided to amuse yourself with the old magic, Puck, you shall provide a means of getting everyone from here to there."

"Before or after I flambe him on a cast iron spit?" Irzen mused with an evil grin.

"You can most certainly try, Swordsman," Dungeon Master warned Irzen.

Irzen just grinned from ear to ear.

"What?!" The trickster threw up his arms in protest, "Fine. I will comply with your request, Dungeon Master and transport these children to where they need to be."

"Remember adventurers, even the smallest one can change the course of fate." Dungeon Master faded from view and was gone.

With a sickly grin still on his face, Irzen turned his full attention to Puck, "Now that the adult has left the room; what say you make with the magic, transport us to where we need to be and THEN I'll decide whether or not you would look better flambeed or char-broiled?"

"Save it, Irzen!" Alyson snapped at him.

"You're STILL no fun, Alyson, even as a child." Irzen deadpanned in reply.

Puck's eyes glowed with magic as a portal to Gnome-gnome town appeared in front of the group, "And you're welcome. Complete Dungeon Master's quest and the spell I placed on you three shall return you to normal. Besides, if you should run into 'ole horn head, he will never see you coming since you're all children at the moment. Tootle-loo!"

Lazheros sighed, "Let's get this over with."

"Agreed." Irzen deadpanned once more.

Alyson nodded in agreement stepping across the threshold of the portal, "Come on everyone."

"Over the river, through the portal and to Gnome-gnome town we go!" The kurori fluttered around Serna.

The Shield Maiden shook her head right before she charged through the portal, "Last one in is a rotten dragon's egg!"
