"My brother and I have been looking for a way out of here. The only route we could find is cursed with Temple Crown Lizards and Lache, a huge monster."

"%c%, please kill Lache and the Temple Crown Lizards... and please, bring back my brother, Rick."

"Rick and I promised we would go home together," Stoka said, his voice wavering.

"This is a basement of the Crimson Sawtooth Army and Black Bone Pirates," Rick explained as he dug endlessly with a pickaxe.

"I dig here day in and day out. My hands have become a mass of calluses, and my body aches every time I move. They never allow us to rest."

"I just don't know why that magic stone is so important."

"Who are you? How did you know my name?" Rick asked suspiciously, holding his pickaxe defensively. When you explained, he quickly lowered it.

"My brother asked you to save me? Really?"

"I have been waiting for him for so long. He tried to find a way out and never returned. I thought the guards or monsters killed him."

"Thank goodness he's okay!" A bright smile broke out over Rick's soot-covered face.
