Wrock sighed exasperatedly, "My money! My hard earned money!"
Yielya grinned, "My pockets are quite deep now."
Wrock gripped Akiol's arm, "You must avenge me!"
Akiol held up his hands, "I got a mouth to feed, I can't be gambling away my savings."
"I won't be able to buy a candy like this!"
Akiol patted Wrock's arm, "Farm some more, or maybe take a loan from Yielya."
Wrock looked over to Yielya and immediately shook his head, "I may be broke, but I shall never be in debt."
Yielya teased, "You sure? You might win it back."
"I abstain from gambling from here on out!"
Rrrrr~
The party looked around, wondering what was causing the commotion. Akiol's eyes widened as he forcefully jumped back. The party also noticing a split second after him.
There was going to be an eruption of lava underneath them!
Akiol's heart skipped a beat, "No! My cards!"
The ground split and lava shot out-
Tick~
Akiol blinked, "What?"
Everything was. . . frozen! Like time had stopped!
Tock~
