Akurle gave them a quick explanation of what happened. She told them how she found Liam and Jetleap fainted by the river, and how the cat came and helped her rescue them, and how the river monsters attacked.

"So, yeah. That pretty much sums it all up. Also, I never got your name." she glanced at the fat black cat.

"Ah, yes. My name is Mr. Buttons." He sat up straight and tried to look regal, but his long gray earhair and silly-looking face messed it up.

Akurle stared at him. "That's your name?"

He looked hurt. "Of course! It is a powerful name, used by the royal cat family. You don't like it?"

"Um, no! I mean, yes! I do like it, yeah, great name." Akurle stammered. That cat had been living in this turture chamber for who knows how long, had saved her life twice, supposedly had the blood of a royal cat family, and his name was Buttons?

"Anyway, I suppose you should know where exactly I came from. I was born to the royal family that ruled the Potato Kingdom, a magical place far from here, in another world."

"Potato kingdom?" Akurle was confused.

"Obviously. I needed to take a break from my royal duties, so I headed off into another world to take a rest. That's when I ended up here."

"Another world..."

The cat nodded. "Being the king of a magical land, I have special abilities. But then I accidentally stepped into a portal, was stuck in here, and I can't go back to the word I was in before. The people there think I'm dead, so I will return to my kingdom instead. You see, the portal back that leads out of this place is constantly moving, and I've been searching this huge island for months trying to find it. Luckily, I've been studying, and I might know how to find the portal."

Akurle held her breath. "You mean.. that portal?" She pointed to the shards of the broken portal.

The fat cat froze, staring wide eyed at it with his ears pinned down on his head. Finally he yowled "What did you do to it!!?!"

"I didn't do anything! The portal cracked and broke!"

The fat cat sighed angrily and scraped the ground with his claws. "Gosh, I find a way to get off this cursed island and you break the portal?"

"Sorry." Akurle was disappointed, but the cat didn't seem to notice. He stalked away and sat down next to the shards of the portal.
