Mr. Buttons grabbed a small bottle filled with bright green liquid, along with a pale brown leaf. He filled another bottle with water and used that to clean the bite mark. He dripped a bit of the green liquid into Jetleaps mouth and ripped the leafs stem off. Milky white liquid dripped out of the step, which Mr. Buttons smeared over the cut.

"This should slow the poison and ease the pain." Mr. Buttons muttered to himself.

"I didn't know you knew so much about healing." Akurle remarked.

"I didn't." Buttons suddenly froze and stared at the wall blankly. Akurle was about to ask what was wrong when he shook his head and put everything back where it was. He leaned over to Akurle and whispered in her ear  "Can I let you in on a secret?"

"Er.... sure?"

Buttons nodded and guestured her to follow him. He went down the tunnel and stopped at the end, where the secret door was. Then he slid his claw into a crack on the left wall and opened another secret door. Akurle walked in cautiously and Buttons closed the door behind them.

"I wasn't the first one trapped here." Buttons started as he walked down the long, winding tunnel. "I found this cave with everything how it is now. Someone had been here before me, and according to the diary that I found, they had been here for several years. Lucky for me, they recorded everything that they found, including antidotes, a guide to all the plants and animals, pretty much everything you could think of."

The tunnel suddenly opened up to a large cavern, almost twice as big as the other one, with shelves carved all over the walls. Filling all the shelves were hundreds of scrolls. A huge white chunk of crystals hung from the ceiling, illuminating the whole place. In the center of the room, below the crystal, was a round stone table with a stone chair covered with moss. Akurle gasped.

"This is where I keep it all. No one knows about this place, so don't tell."

"Well, of course no one knows, we just met you." Akurle pointed out. Buttons suddenly looked guilty, then calm again. "Yeah, I know that."

"You can put the portal shards here, on the table." Buttons said. Akurle hadn't even realized she was still holding them. She dumped them on the table. Suddenly the room shuddered.

"What was that..." Akurle took a step back.

"Don't worry. It might be a monster, but it won't find us. Let's get back to your friends so they don't get worried." Akurle followed Buttons back to the main room.
