After a few days of walking, the smell of sea air filled their lungs as they walked. A much more humid cool breeze also blew making the questers relieved as the sun was beating down harshly on them that day. Because of that everyone had stripped out of their tops, minus Bendy who opted on just staying in a small airy white tank top minus her tan coloured vest.

"Hey! How close ARE we near the sea?" Mug piped up as he walked next to his brother and Bendy. Taking a deep breath and sighing at the salty air filled and cleared his lungs.

Boris took out the map from his pack and had a looked. "Hm, actually not that far. It's just a few feet ahead of us."

Mug's eyes had lit up instantly as he made a break for it. Everyone else looked at one another and laughed as they followed after him. Cup had scooped Bendy in his arms as he ran. It wasn't the smartest idea for her to run in her delicate condition. But she didn't mind actually.

Mug broke out of the treeline first as his feet hit the sand almost instantly. He practically tossed his shoes off as he lifted his pant legs up and ran right into the water cheering.

Everyone broke through a moment later and looked round in wonder. "Woah......" Boris breathed out as he walked more onto the sand. He and his sister had never been to the sea before, he had only seen it in his picture books back when he was a little pup.

"I know..... It's beautiful," Bendy breathed out as well as she looked at the sea in pure awe. Cup looked down at her in his arms and smiled. 'Not as beautiful as you...' He thought to himself.

"Come on you guys! The water feels great!" Mug shouted to the four on the shore waving and splashing around.

Felix laughed a bit as he took off his hiking boots and lifted his own pant legs up. "Well, come on. Until the map does something we should have a bit of fun and cool off."He looked at the other three and smiled before following after Mug in the water.

The last three smiled as they followed suit until everyone was in the water up to their knees. Bendy however only went up to her ankles leaving her more on the shore. Cup had noticed and waded back over to her.

"What's wrong?" He asked looking at her worriedly, "Is it the baby?"

"No it's not that," she began looking up at him, "I'm just a bit.....scared of going further into the water." She looked down as she fiddled with her tank a bit a little embarrassed about it.

Cup gently lifted her head up by her chin and smiled. "Hey it's alright. Would you be less afraid if I was there holding your hand?"

A dark blush formed on Bendy's cheeks as she nodded. "Yeah I guess so." God! She was so embarrassed.....

Cup smiled more as he gently took her hand leading her a bit further out into the water. Bendy seem to tense at first as the water splashed against her legs, but soon relaxed as she saw he stopped once the water reached her knee height.

"Isn't as bad as you thought now, is it?" Cup asked he held her hand still looking at her and smiling.

"Yeah, I guess I was scared for noth....." Bendy was cut off as water was splashed in her face.

"Uh........" Mug said as he was the one who accidentally did that. He was aiming for Boris, but he moved out of the way just before it could hit him, "Ehehe! Sorry....."

Bendy wiped the water off her face. But instead of a look of anger a little grin formed on her face. She suddenly splashed water at Mug as he was also hit in face by it. "Payback!"

Mug sputtered, but laughed as he grinned as well. "Water war!" He shouted as he splashed Cup now.

Cup looked at his brother with a blank expression. Bendy was about to tell him not to be a party pooper until he splashed water at her. "Ack! You asshole!"

"You still love me," Cup smirked as he looked down at her.

Bendy rolled her eyes, but smirked back as she splashed water back at him. It eventually to a full blown water war as Mug had shouted earlier. They splashed water at one another until every one's clothes were soaked through and they were out of breath from laughing and shouting so much.

The questers went back to the shore to dry up as the sun was already sliding down from the horizon. "Wow, we were splashing about longer then I thought," Felix said as he and others were sitting in their wet clothing on the still warm sand.

"Yeah, but it was SO much fun!" Mug gushed as he fully laid down laughing a bit.

They were about ready to settle down for the night, until Boris's bag began to glow. Boris quickly went over to the bag and opened it as the map flew right out glowing brightly yet again.

"Well folks looks we'll have to settle down later," Felix started as he grabbed his hat and placing it back onto his head, "We have a map to follow!"

The others groaned a bit and got up as the map began to move. They followed after it all wondering what the next temple and piece would be. And finally...... Who was the guardian for this piece?
