You're exploring the area around the Chateau des Animorphs, thinking, hey, I could use a snack. But before you head back to the Chateau, you decide to walk just a little farther. You want to see what's at the end of this path you've been following.

Then, up ahead, you see what the path leads to: A gingerbread house, straight out of Hansel and Gretel's fairy tale. You run up to the house and knock on the door to see who lives there first-no sense ending up like Hansel and Gretel.

A blue furred, part deer, human, and scorpion answers the door. It's Ax.

<Hello? I am Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill. Come in, come in.>

You walk inside and explain that you sort of would like to taste his house.

<Of course you may. That is why it was built, for eating. But you must not eat the roof or the corners. Prince Jake and the others said it would cause the house to cave in.>

Before you can reply, Ax interrupts. <As much as I would like to stay here and eat my house with you, regretfully I must be leaving. I have to start preparing the next meal in the kitchen. Feel free to look around and eat. Good bye.> With that, Ax leaves.
