Chapter 7: Gentian's Brew
As Slaga followed the glukkon and slig, things were going through his mind. 'Who are these people? Why are they chopping down trees? Where are they going?' After Slaga got out of the forest, he saw a huge factory. It had a sign that said, 'Gentian's Brew'. When Slaga looked around, he saw coffles of mudokkons tugging on a huge rolling platform. On that platform was a huge pile of lumber. They were making their way to a sawing machine. When they stopped, sligs un-chained them.
They walked at the end of the rolling platform. They carried lumber to the sawing machine and threw it in. It made Slaga angry. He kept up the pace and caught up with the glukkon and the slig. "You there!" Exclaimed a slig. The glukkon and the slig turned around.
"Why hello there. My name is Gentian." The glukkon said. "I can see your interested in getting a job, yes?" Asked the slig. Then, a bright idea came to Slaga's mind. "Yes. May I join?" Asked Slaga. "Of course, but first you need some pants." Replied Gentian. "Follow us." Ordered the slig. So Slaga followed them to a 'Getcha Pants' machine. "Press the big green button." Ordered Gentian. Without hessitation Slaga pressed the button. He found himself now in mechanical pants. "What is your name?" Asked Gentian. "Slaga." Replied Slaga. "Come with me Slaga." Ordered Gentian. Slaga followed him into the factory.
