The two carefully snuck out of the boatem hole, making sure Moon was nowhere around. After looking all around, they nodded at eachother.

Mumbo and Pearl continued to walk through the grass and were confused by how easy it was. Shouldn't Moon be here? Although they didn't dare say a word, they both knew that one another was on edge.

The duo finally arrived at their destination. Mumbo breathed in the smooth but briny air.
"This felt a little too easy," Pearl pointed out.
"I agree, if Moon is so hellbeant on killing us then you would think they would know we're here."
Pearl nodded.
Mumbo snatched Grains bag out of the boat.
"Got it," He alerted.
"Great! Are they there?"
"Yeah, there's two melted ones, two perfectly fine, and the other two are fused together," Mumbo said
"What?" Grian shot back, "Maybe the Impulse and Scar candles melted together.. They have certain tints of colors to them to represent us. What colors are they?"
"Red and Purple.."
Grian groaned and dunked his head into his hands.
"What does it mean?" Pearl poked into the conversation.
"Maybe it's because Moon is in Grians body and the candles only represent the bodies. After all, Impulse and Scars are melted but there's no telling if their souls are still alive. So, Grian and Moons merged."
"Smart."
"Huh?"
"Oh it's just a theory for why the candles are merged," Mumbo answered.
"Ok, there's also a lighter in there. We need that," Grian smacked his hands together, they were going to succeed.
Mumbo fished the lighter out, "Let's hope this works.." He flicked the lighter until the flame awoke and held it to the candle.
An arrow flew past the two and they dodged as quickly as possible.
Moon panted and lowered their bow, frantically trying to look calm and collected, "Don't!" They screamed, running a hand through their hair.
"It's moon," Mumbo breathed.
"Oh my god! Can they not ruin something for once in their life?!"
Moon flicked their head to Mumbos direction and charged.
"Pearl!" Mumbo exclaimed, and threw her the lighter. She stumbled to catch it and ran.
Moon looked puzzled, not sure who to go for.
While they were distracted, Mumbo attempted to escape. They grabbed his arm and death stared him before reaching for the candle in his hands. Mumbo pushed them back and they grunted. He pushed them down and held the candle above them both. They strongly tugged his arm down and Mumbo tripped, the candle falling out of his grip. Moon leaped to grab the item and laughed in success when they did, However Mumbo fell onto them and pushed their face into the ground. They yelped into the dirt and Mumbo frantically snatched the candle and took off.
"You brat!" They screamed, holding their nose as they watched him run.
Mumbo saw Pearl in the distance urging him to come quicker. He choked as Moon put him in a headlock.
"Sorry, were you going somewhere?" They tried to sound cocky but it only came out aggressive because they couldn't hide their rage. Mumbo strained in their grip. Somehow, he still had Grians bag. He slowly snuck his hand in and searched for something to defend himself with. His fingers discovered a dagger lying at the bottom. He swifty gripped it and stabbed Moons leg. They cried out in pain as Mumbo stumbled and sprinted away over to Pearl.
"What was that?!" Pearl asked, impressed as Mumbo grabbed her arm, "Let's go!" He dragged her over to Grians alleyway.
