[T-nex]

Well... I used to write one/two chapters a day before the forums whent down. I usually takes me from a half an hour to two hours, depending on ideas and stuff... Sometimes when i run out of ideas, i just sit down thinking. Then they come. Anyways, when the forums went down i wrote three more chapters, 9 and 10 is one of them. Then i stopped writing cuz i didn't have any motivation, since the forums were gone. So i post a chapter everytime someone posts. Oh well, here's the 11'th chapter Enjoy peeps.


Chapter 11



The next day, I woke up with a shock. Because that Olson was yelling as high as he could. He was tied to the bed. Aww man, he was really annoying.

“NO DON’T! I’m up!” I said as I woke up. It was an old habit. Whenever some slig shouted at me that I had slept too much, I got scared and afraid. Olson started to laugh. His cold and mean laughter made me shiver. Then Cath woke up.

“SHUT UP! I DON’T WANNA GET UP NOW! Ten more minutes.” She mumbled. Well, that must’ve been her old habit.

“Oh my dear, you have to get up, it’s morning, and you have to get ready for your work.” Olson said. Then Cath threw her pillow on Olson’s head.

“Shut up! Let me sleep.” She mumbled. Olson shut up. Maybe the pillow was all that was needed to make him shut up. Hurray for the pillow! I Got up, and untied Olson. Then I realized I didn’t have my gun. I looked for at my side of the bed, where I had put it, but it wasn’t there.

“Missing something?” Olson asked. I looked at him. Then I thought I knew where it was.

“Have you taken it?” I asked?

“Of course not… Why would I do that? How COULD I? I was tied up all night.” Olson said. I looked at him, and then I helplessly threw my hands in the air. Nakl got in.

“Oh, I see that you’re up.” He said, “But just so you know, I took your gun. Guns aren’t allowed in the Mudokon city.” What? Mudokon city? Was it true what I heard?

“A city?” Olson asked interested. He must have forgotten that he hated Nakl for a moment.

“No. It’s not what you think it is. There are no high buildings. And there are no lights. It’s a big village, which is too big to be a village. No electricity at all. So sorry, it’s nothing for you. But I’ll let you come anyway.” Nakl said.

“Nah… I think I wanna stay here. C’mon tie me up.” Olson said.

“No, you’re coming with us.” Nakl said. That was really clever from him, cuz we couldn’t know if he was up to something. So we ate breakfast, which consisted of bird eggs with bread and Meep-milk.

“Man, you’re a really good cooker.” Cath said and smiled.

“Thank you.” Nakl said, “Oh and by the way, I’ve borrowed two more Elums. We’ll have to ride to the Mudokon city.”

“Well, there are only 3 Elums, we are four. So I’ll have to stay here.” Olson said

“No. You’re gonna ride with Cath.” Nakl said. I had really expected that he would say me, but Cath? He must have been mad.

“I don’t think it’s such a good idea.” I said.

“If You and Olson ride together, you’ll probably just get in a fight. If he rides alone he’ll get away. I have to ride my own Elum which hates Vykkers. So Cath is our only solution.”

Well, he was right about that. Olson looked at Cath. She shivered. I felt sorry for her. Olson smirked. I wished I had my gun right now. We went outside where the three Elums waited for us. I went to one of the Elums.

“Hey there.” I said and patted it on the back. The Elum gave a pleased growl. I mounted it. Nakl mounted Gismo. Cath mounted the third, and helped Olson up. She rolled her eyes. Olson stayed tight to Cath. I hated him. I was jealous at him. That he got to stay close to Cath. I tried not to look at them.

“Ok, you press the Elums on their side when you want them to ride. If you want them to stop, you lean backwards. To make the Elum move faster, you lean forwards. You pull the Elums neck in direction you want it to move. If you have trouble with your Elum, just ask me.” Nakl said. Both me and Cath understood. Nakl’s Elum started running, then I pushed the sides of my Elum, and so did Cath. They both started running. I leaned a bit backwards to slow down. Now it was perfect. It was wonderful riding the Elum. I felt the fresh air against my head. I briefed relieving. Cath seemed to enjoy this too. Olson seemed to hate this. Well, that was his problem. We soon arrived what Nakl would call the MudokonCity. It was a village. With smaller or bigger huts. Some of them even had Two or three floors. That depended on how rich the owner was. There were small and cute shops all over the place. Some took Moolah. But the most of them took corns, animals and other useful stuff to trade with. I saw two Mudokons come nearer. They both had Spooce Bows.

“Hello Nakl!” One of them said.

“Tom! Kim! Hello!!” Nakle said happily.

“How is it going? It has been a long time ago.” Tom said, and embraced him.

“Well, I can’t tell that now, it would be too much to tell. Ah, you have to Daniel and Cath.”

“Hi!” I said. And so did Cath

“Hey! You’re a female mudokon.” Kim said, “Who’s the Vykker?”

“Oh. He’s not native, he is our prisoner.” Nakl said.

“Should we take care of him, or are you taking him with you?” Tom asked.

“What? Who are you? I can take care of myself.” Olson said.

“We are a few of the many guards in this city, so if you get in trouble, you’ll deal with us.” Kim said.

“Hmm… I think I’ll take him with me.” Nakl said.

“Ok well, bye. We have to go back to our duty.” Tom said

“Bye” Nakl said. So we hitched our Elums in a barn for Elums. Then Cath saw a little shop, and ran over to it.

“Aaaaw man, those are cute!” She said. I looked at the stuff. It was small dolls. There where Elums, Scrabs, Paramites, Mudokons and one single Female mudokon.

“Do you want something?” The Mudokon asked friendly. Cath looked at the stuff. It all looked very cute, but she realized that she did not have anything to pay with.

“No, I’m just looking.” She said.

“We’ll take that Female Mudokon doll.” Nakle said. He took some corns from his pocket.

“Nah, the lady gets it for free.” The Mudokon said.

“Oh thank you so much.” She said, and gave him a smile. I rolled my eyes. Everywhere we stepped, she just had to be spoiled. She took the doll. It looked very cute. Then we walked furtherer. I was getting hungry, so we went to a food-shop. I looked at the stuff. The was all kinds of stuff, from bird to cakes. I ordered grilled bird. It tasted very good. Cath ordered a cake formed as a heart, and Nakl ordered a green cake. I didn’t ask about it. Olson didn’t order anything when he found out that they didn’t sell Scrabcakes or Paramite pies. Then he took us through the city. Then we stopped up by a tower. It didn’t look like a tower from the industrial world. It was made of tree, and looked very primitive. We stepped in. It looked weird, and instead of taking the stair up, he went down, through a hole. Cath, Olson and I followed. Then we went through a tunnel where there was no light at all. Soon we heard him stop. Then he opened a door, and light streamed in. It was a big cave room. There were 6 sitting places, 3 on each side. Then there was one in the middle. Torches where lightening the room, giving it all kinds of scary shapes. Then in the end of the room, I saw a room. Nakl opened it with a key. Then we stepped inside. 3 Mudokons where sitting in there, doing nothing. Then they quickly looked at us, when they heard us come in.

“Oh hey Nakl! Who are the fellows?” they asked.

“Oh, This is Daniel, Cath and Olson. Olson is not native. He is our prisoner.” Nakl said.

“Oh, it’s a female Mudokon.” They said.

“Hi! I’m pleased to meet you.” She said.

“Me too. My name is Aslin, and this is Nemo and Nilah.” Aslin said.

“So, why did you take them here, to the secret meeting place of the Shamans?” Nilah asked. He had a violet skin, and a red feather.

“That is kinda private” Nakl said.

“Ok, then we’ll go into a private room.” They stepped into another room, and closed the door. So it was Cath, Olson and me left.

“Haha, they are probably talking about how to sacrifice you to their god.” Olson said.

“Shut up!” I said, and hit him. Then he jumped on me, and hit me in my face, then I hit him, and we just struggled against each other, while Cath yelled at us. Then after a while Nakle came out, finding us hitting each other.

“Stop it! Now!” he yelled.

We stopped.

“He started.” Olson said. I was about to protest, but I realized that he was right. I got off him.

“Such an immature behaviour.” Nakl said angrily, and shook his head, “Dan, I’ll have to see you in private. I have something important to talk with you about.”
