Geeble finally made it to the vast ruins of Mosaic Lines. He'd been there before, but he was always memorized by the two huge mud statues guarding the gates. They were portrayed after two respectable kings of old.............so old in fact, Geeble didn't even know them. It was they who first made contact with Shrykul. The God told them many things which have been secret since that time, and No-one but the two kings knew. Geeble was there to uncover the secrets.........which the shamans would not agree with. Geeble thought the shamans very foolish, for they thought the books of Shrykul were "too sacred" to be opened.

Geeble looked up at the mighty gates and let out a long sigh. Yes, it was easy for Abe to get in.......he's the chosen one, but other muds needed to know the full password. This included lots of spells, incantations and serious meditation. Geeble performed all sorts of sacred majiks until finally the door opened.

Geeble stepped in and was met by a group of mudarchers.
"What is your bussines here," one of them asked.
"I'm here to speak with Grawl," Geeble replied.
All of them gasped. "No-one has seen him since.....well, I don't remember, but may I just say that not even we know where he is.......You'll have to find him yourself."
"That's fine. All I ask for is an elum and four days supply of food," Geeble responed, not really effected at the others shock.
"Very well," they all chimmed in.

And so Geeble traveled deep underground Mosaic Lines towards City of Grawl. Of course, Geeble was misserable. He picked the smelliest elum they had.....since he didn't want to be eaten by creatures in the dark caves. Geeble was very confident that nothing would bother him with such a stench surrounding him.

Geeble finally made it to the City of Grawl.....where he was met by Grawl himself.
"I knew you were coming," Grawl said. "I could sense it!"
Geeble laughed. "Oh be quiet. You know Mosaics told you I was comming through the speaking wells!"
"Alright you got me," Grawl chuckled as he gave Geeble a big hug. "Whoooo! The elum you picked last time wasn't nearly as smelly as this one!"
The elum snorted and walked on into the city.

Yes, Grawl was friendly, but not a very wise one. His city was founded by his great great great great great grandfather who gathered a bunch of muds underground cus' they were frightened by a volcano. They tought it was the end of the world. Now they're stuck underground because everybody is affraid to travel throught the dark cave to the surface on fear of being eaten. The only thing that they had of wealth was the books of Shrykul. Other than that, the whole city was stupid. Geeble liked Grawl, because Grawl was stupid and knew it. Grawls shamans, on the other hand, were stupid, but thought they were smarter than evreyone else........and Geeble really didn't like them.

"You've done a very foolish thing," one of the shamans said to Geeble.
"What?"
"You called upon ratz, gaurdians of the earth, to have have the soil swallow that......thing!"
"Yeah.....so," Geeble said uninterested.
"So, the shaman said dripping with sarcasm, "This evil uses whatever you use against it."
"What do you mean," Geeble asked, suddenly alarmed.
"Lets just say that entire villages are being swallowed up by the ground and it's your fault! This eneimy took what you used against it and is now using the power of ratz for it's own evil purposes!"
Geeble was shocked.
"Now the evil has ratz on it's side. They're everywhere now......watching and giving their master information and power!"
Just then a rat ran across Geebles foot.
