An alligator
A pair of headphones
A book and clock.
One of these things is incredibly dangerous.

Molokai was incredibly lost. "This is all your fault, George." He peered down from his perch atop a giant alligator, a frown marring his expression. George just grumbled under his breath causing Molokai to tilt his head. "Excuse me?"

"Nothing, Kai." Molokai looked satisfied. "That's what I thought. And would you take those ridiculous headphones off? You look silly!" Still grumbling, the alligator reared up on his back feet, pulling off the headphones and stuffing them in, of all the undignified things, saddlebags. Dropping back down to all fours, George tilted his head to the side, blinking one large black eye in Molokai's direction. "Maybe you should consult the book." Molokai pulled a face, distaste clear in his expression. "If I must..."

With a sigh, he pulled out a bound book. Kai stared at it for a moment. George sounded a gruff, "Get on with it", and Kai loosed the bindings. Immediately the book tried to detach Kai's fingers from his hands. "Ah, hey!" Kai shot a zap of purplish electricity from his fingers at the book. With a shudder, the book lay flat in his lap, no longer intent on bodily harm. Kai flipped through the pages until he found the ever changing map. He compared the flickering symbols to the dials on his watch. Each dial spun a different direction, some with numbers, some with letters, some stranger than that. All of this made complete sense to both Kai and George which was exactly why they were lost. Binding the book, he stashed it away once more.

Right.

"Ask them," George sighed with a shake of his great head. Kai frowned, "Who?"

"Them."

"Oh."

Two people and a tree. That wasn't odd at all. Who was he kidding? This whole quest has been nothing but odd! "Fine. Let's go." George lurched into motion, taking Kai nearer just in time to hear the rather curious death threat. "Excuse me? Before you two get to killing each other, would either of you know how to find the Singing Harp of Tilamilu?" George hmphed and Kai sighed. "Please."
