“Tepui, No!” the man yells, as the marmoset jumps from his hand and onto Tocayo’s back.

“Go, go! We have to get out of hear!” Tepui screams as he tugs Tocayo’s wing. He and Sunny instinctively take flight and you quickly follow. “Fly as high as you can or he will capture us!”

“What is going on?” you ask as you push yourself and your monkey passenger into the air.

“You were about to be become Trapper’s next prized possessions. He goes around the world finding magical animals like you, putting them in cages, and selling them to the highest bidder.He can’t hurt us up in the sky, but he can appear anywhere on the ground,” Tepui tells you. “I have an idea of how to get rid of him but it is dangerous. Are you up to the challenge?”

“We certainly are!” Tocayo boasts. “I am so sick of poachers. If we have a plan and work together, we can do anything!”

“Great!’ Tepui says. “First, we need to find the most potent ingredient, a shell from a black caiman egg. It will not be easy to obtain the shell, as caiman are extremely protective of their young. They have powerful, quick jaws and you must always mind their tail.”

“So what’s the plan?” you ask. After a few minutes you decide that Tocayo will distract the caiman while you and Sunny take the egg shell. Learning that the caiman nests on the riverbank, you leave Tepui to watch the little marmoset on a tree branch and take flight.

When you see the riverbank, your confidence wavers at the sight of the huge caiman.“I think that’s it!” you say, “and it doesn’t look like we’re going to catch her sleeping!”

“Nevermind that, I’ll distract her,” Tocayo says, he flies down and narrowly misses being chomped by the lunging caiman, while you’re suddenly blown off course by the rush of her tail, forcing you to land in a pile of broken eggshells. Tocayo yells, “You have a shell, now let’s go!” You grab a part of an eggshell and Sunny does the same as the two of you take flight.

“A broken eggshell! That’s all you wanted?” the caiman says, pausing in her attack. You see now that she is surrounded by dozens of tiny baby caiman. “For a moment there I thought you were after my babies! Why, you’re not even big enough to be a mouthful, let alone a threat! If all you want are some broken eggshells, you can take all you want.”

You return with the eggs shells and Tepui jumps up and down in celebration. He quickly uses them to create a potion. “Now we are ready for him!” Tepui informs you.

Suddenly, Trapper appears and grabs you and the little marmoset. Sunny takes the potion from Tepui with her talons and squeezes it over Trapper, transforming him into a small red eyed tree frog. Remembering you are a bird, you quickly go from falling to flying and you rescue the little marmoset from crashing into the grown. Trapper the frog is clinging to a branch, croaking. You soon learn how to make the potion from Tepui. You spend the rest of your days finding poachers and turning them into harmless frogs.
