Chapter 16: Skaihera
"What are you talking about?" Asked Slaga. "First, let me introduce myself." Said the mudokkon, "I am Skaihera, goddess of winter. I can do anything with winter, and I accidently used it to try to kill you. I'm very sorry." "Are you really a goddess?" Asked Slaga. Skaihera nodded. "Are you also sure that you did that by accident?" Slaga asked again. "Have trust in me, Slaga."
Skaihera put her arm on Slaga's shoulder. "Are you hurt?" She asked. "A little. But I'm mostly shocked. I don't think I can go on anymore." Replied Slaga. "Don't say that Slaga." Skaihera said immidietely, "just think what could happen if Gertian gets that fire. If he does, you'll die, period." "Dying is better than this!" Yelled Slaga in Skaihera's face. There was a very long silence after that.
"Slaga, if you don't complete this quest, all of Oddworld will be both angry and upset at you." Added Skaihera. There was another silence. Then finally, Slaga said, "but how? How am I goanna get to the top when Gertian is better than be?" "The bloods of your parents." Pointed out. "What?" Said Slaga really confused. "Drink them. They will give you strength Slaga." Replied Skaihera. "Are you sure?" Asked Slaga. "Absolutely." Replied Skaihera, "now I must go. Good-bye Slaga! Stay alive, for we will meet again." Skaihera had dissapeared into the winter mist.
Slaga took out the vials hold the bloods of his parents. They were still unharmed, and still warm. He opened the blood of his mother. "This is for you, Grily." Said Slaga. He drank the blood of his mom down to the last drop and put in back in his pocket. He took out the blood of his father next. "This is for you, Lou." Said Slaga. He drank his father's blood and put the empty vial back in his pocket. Slaga was now feeling the strength going through him. He continued on climbing the mountian.
