"A puzzle," Damon replied as if it was obvious. "Like you humans' jigsaw puzzles."

"But there's only one piece," said Ailm, pocking up the object for closer inspection. "And it's blank."

"It's...?" Damon thought about this. He knew there had been part of some image on the puzzle piece before. "Put it back down," he said.

"Maybe it's charmed or something. Like, the pieces can only be put together when assembled on the stone thingy. If so, the pieces are probably scattered around this world, aye? We could go on a puzzle-building road trip or something!" Jillian rambled as she stepped closer to the snake, boy, and stone.

"Sounds..." began Ailm,"pretty boring. Who would want to build a jigsaw monster or whatever when I could go home and fight people using the respective powers of friendship and cake?"

The self-proclaimed "bloody" lich was once again proving itself capable of speech. Damon realized that he had no idea what a lich even was and that he couldn't read anyone's mind to find out. "Charmed? It's happy to meet us? It's... it's a rock," Damon said, then moved off of the stone slab in case it actually was alive in a way only humans and apparently-blood-covered things could detect. "And what road do you propose we trip over in this uncivilized area? Why would you want to do that, anyway? I don't regret to say that I wouldn't be able to join you. I'm actually incapable of tripping, as you can see by my lack of legs. Legs are one of the single most impractical body parts that one could possibly have, and more than just 'one' has them! It's ridiculous!"
The human had said something, too. "Cake and friendship are both overrated," he said simply. "But so are a lot of monsters."

"We're not literally tripping over roads, sugar. We'd be travelling around trying to find the other pieces. And tell me, kiddo, how do you suppose we're getting home? What if we landed here, at the first piece, so we could find the others, complete the puzzle, and then go home and go back to ruling the universe?" Jillian coughed, trying to cover her slip-up. "I mean, doing whatever a kid with cake or a talking snake does. Aye?" She lunged a bit and raised her fist, trying to look majestic and awe-inspiring.

"........" Ailm paused for a moment to ponder everything in the universe. "Good point," he said finally. Then, with a sigh,"I guess we don't have any other leads, but how are we supposed to find another piece?"

"I don't know if you're seeing things that I am not," Damon said, "But if you are, I can tell you now that whoever "sugar" and "kiddo" are, they're in your imagination. "As for finding other pieces, I would like to know what this is. I'd say slither- or walk, for those of you with legs- until we find one, and besides that, if we are the only ones here as we currently seem to be, we're already ruling a planet."

At Damon's comment, Ailm grinned madly with power. "We are the rulers of the world! We decide who lives and who dies! We control what can stay and what must be destroyed! "Come along, lets find the magical puzzle thing so that we can have more power!" And with that, the young Child of the Cakes turned and began marching away.

Jillian sighed. The snake thingy was weirdly stupid for his level of grammar. "C'mon, snakey. It's best f we don't leave you." She followed the boy, quickly catching up.

Man, that snake thing sure is ugly, thought Ailm, slowing his pace a bit to let the others catch up.

Following them, Damon added, "And there's another one! Who is Snakey? That sounds like something part-snake, part-cat. Or dog. Or both. I'm not sure. Human minds are even worse when I can't hear them."

Ailm sighed. He hadn't wanted to admit it, but this ugly snake was pretty dumb. And ugly. Very ugly.
~~~~~~~
The three had been walking and/or slithering for a few hours when Ailm turned around to tell his friendsorwhatever that he didn't think they were going to find anything. Instead, however, the words that came out of his mouth were,"Do you guys feel that?" It felt awkward to say, but "feel" was the best word to describe it.

Damon was about to ask what he was supposed to have felt, but he paused and thought for a moment. He had felt something. It had been a mild, momentary change in... well, in something, but it had definitely happened, or so he thought. Following this was the uncomfortable realization that he might also be under the influence of the placebo effect.

Jillian blinked, and contemplated the boy's words. "I think so... It feels sort of like magic... or radiation, sometimes I get the two mixed up."

"It feels like magical energy..." Ailm walked in the direction from which the "feeling" seemed to be coming. He continued to walk until he reached the mouth of a dark cave. "Welp," said Ailm,"I think we have to go in there."

"It looks very inviting," Damon said in a non-sarcastic tone. "Hello! Your interior decorating isn't native to my species. We're going to be breaking and entering now," he shouted respectfully. "Come along," he added, going towards it. "Well, not so much breaking as entering," he called after a moment's thought.

Jillian shrugged and followed the snake in whilst desperately trying to get a flame come from her fingertip. Until she remembered her darkvision. No one had to know, she thought.

Angry that he, being the first one to find the cave, was the last one to enter, Ailm quickly dashed ahead of the snake and vampiregirlthing. He continued to run for a minute before he noticed something that made him stop. Ailm turned his head to the left. "That's a weird noise..."
