Bin a bit Ithink Ill write some more.
There was a general mayhem of sound.
Mudokons yelled as they saw me. The old man kept yelling, "Everybody calm down there!".
After a coulple minites of worries, disccussion, pointing , and accusations, the old man dispersed the croud and gave me a chance to look around.
I was in a Mudokon village, a small one, built like a fortress.
It was surrounded by fields and hillsleading to forests.
The old man kept pointing to things, and telling me what they were.
"Armory, foodstore, larders."
He was also poining out names of mudokons.
"This fellow if Ferdirzi, this is Ghervhanco, and heres our top warrior."
A large mudokon walked up to us. His feathers were tied in a knot above his head and he was covered in tattoos.
"Ah this is Kai, Low"
"WHat is this thing?!" said Kai hastily
"This thing is what appears to be a meech Kai, his name is Low and Ill have you know that he is capapble of higher thought and can speak" said the old man with narrowed eyes"
"Yes" I said.
"The warrior was having trouble grasping this, but didnt let it show. A tribes shaman is not to be trifled with.
"WEll then boy!? Lead us up to the walls so he can have a better look around"
"Yes sir"
Up a couple of stairs, we reaced the top of the walls.
"Ah, you use meetles" I said.
Enoughmous mettles dotted the area. The were tilling and harveseting the fields.
"Well then" started the old man,"Lets get you some food and help you settle in."
"The old man started walking down the stairs unhelped.
I started to walk after him, but Kai stopped me.
He pulled his sword and pointed it under my jawline.
"I dont know what you are, but you are lucky Pallomo likes you, or youd be dead."
He turned and walked down after the old man.
It suprised me, over the next couple of days, how much things changed.
Most of the mudokon children took a liking to me and began following me around, watching me eat and work.
I went on a hunt with several mudokons, and I think my performance helped them gain trust. I went to visit Samus whenever I could, although she was fed well and all she was not permitted out of here cell and the old man could not sway the entire town. Kai and several of the other warriors kept a wide berth from me, casting me dark looks and faces.
I didint really care. I found somwhere I could finally fit in.
I wished it could last forever.
But then there was that fateful night.
I was sleeping on the ground in one of the elum barns(much to the elums' dismay) when I heard somthing.
It was very distant, but it seemed to be one continuos roll.
It soon died away into the dark silence of the night.
I dissmissed it and fell back into dreams.
In the moring I was awoken by the sound off footfall.
"Ghnh ghnh wha..." I said waking up.
I looked up into the worried face of a mudokon.
"Come on man!! You have to see this! he yelled.
"Alll the way out here ! Alll the way out here! The magog cartel will never sto........."
I was already running for the door.
The old man was standing outside.
"it seems a drastic situation has arisen" I didnt stop to ask what.
I ranto the top of the wall. Kai was up there, startingnat the horizon. I stopped dead in my tracks.
And I saw it.
