Cheddar answered Niamae's question quietly: "I have only seen a few people, but they were ok. I believe I may be the only member of the council to survive."
He turned to Sluggers he spoke. All through Slugger's story he stared intently into the sligs eyes (or at least the spots of his mask that concealed his eyes). Had anybody been watching, they might have noticed the mosquito encased in amber at the top of Cheddar's staff slowly change shape to become a small moth like the kind that dwelt in swarms across Mudos. (as it was, no one was watching so mentioning that was pretty pointless, but never mind).
When Slugger finished Chedar opened his mouth to answer but was caught by surprise as the small, red ball of flesh burst through the trees and threw Slugger over. Cheddar acted quickly and pointed his staff at the slog (the mosquito now back to normal), who seemed to slow down ever so slightly.
Cheddar: "Is this your slog?"
