Who would have thought that vykkers would have such tight family groups! They all went nuts when they found out about Mica being attacked by his brothers! Now they’re making him a gun! And the first ever pair of pants is about to be created! A historical chapter dedicated to So FrEaKiN oDd becase he's a great member and writer and he's feelin depressed cause know one's readin his stories (hint, hint) and he's planning on packing up and leaving
. Now lets get on with chapter 6: the dawning of a knew day!
Mazazazaza lifted Mica in to a seat made of leather belts. He tightened the bottom one that covered the tip of Mica’s tail. “Is that to tight?” He asked.
“No, it’s fine,” Mica replied.
Mazazazaza continued to tighten the belts till they came up to Mica’s waist. When they where all well-fitted he was about to lift him out, when Langua brought in a hollow metal tube. Supporting the end, he showed Mica how to hold it. Then he let go. Mica had to lower it at once. “Wait a minute,” Langua said and opened a cap on the end and tipped out a few small stones. “You have to be able to hold it erect comfortably.” He let go again and Mica struggled to hold it upright. He was uncomfortably sure that Raffe could have lifted 3 of these things above his head with only one hand. Langua took out a few more stones and Mica found he could easily lift it up to shoulder height.
Mica had actually regained consciousness after being caught in the trap the morning of the next day and about midday the whole of Vykkos heard the cry:
“RAFFE!”
Mica wasn’t sure how to feel about this. Raffe would get punished now, but Mica felt it was wrong. Somehow, he felt that the punishment Raffe would now get wasn’t the right one. Maybe Mica felt he was supposed to give it himself, or that it would not be enough, like it would only be for the attack at the forests edge, instead of for all his years of torture. And what about Nicou? What was happening to him?
Later that day Mazazazaza made him have an X-ray of his waist to see where nerves would have to be attached to work the pants. Mazazazaza was surprised to find their where already nerves in Mica’s waist that would allow him to use legs. Obviously evolution was about to give the species legs, or had just taken them away.
Langua had made another tube, and wanted to test it on Mica again, this one made of metal. It was really light and Mica could have held two. Langua was very pleased and looked like he’d just discovered a metal that weighed less than half its mass in steel! He muttered something about telling Micadil and ran off. Another vykker explained that he’d just discovered a metal that weighed less than half its mass in steel!
Mica went to sleep that night feeling that he and Raffe had just switched bodies! He felt like every problem he’d ever had had suddenly vanished in to thin air.
Meanwhile though, someone watched the scene and was slightly more worried. Slightly more worried as in he felt like there was an almighty grape in his stomach, not that he had a stomach! Makajia knew that he would now definitely have to see Odd. If vykkers and sligs where to interact… And if glukkons saw the chance… He didn’t know what evil greed had possessed this poor species, but he knew that it would cause a lot of trouble if it saw the opportunity!
“Are we going then?” Asked his wife. She sounded sad at the troubles of their land but she still couldn’t hide her excitement of actually seeing Odd!
“We haven’t got a choice Sajilia. If the sligs see the possibilities, they won’t hesitate. Pants ’ll spread all over Sligos. Then glukkons will see and use the information to enslave the mudokons. In just a millennium, the whole species will be enslaved. We’ll leave Tandera in charge.”
“Are you sure our son is ready?”
“We have to go. He can call us back if things get really bad. And I’ll tell him to keep us updated on what happens. It’ll be fine with Odd, you’ll see.”
“I hope your right.” Came Sajilia’s response…
What is Odd’s palace like? What has happened to Raffe? Was Nicou hurt when his father shouted down his earhole? What’ll happen next to Mica? Find out the answers too probably a disappointing amount of these questions when we meet up again at the social event of the century, CHAPTER (counts on fingers) 7!
