Chapter 3: Resolutions
Mudokon Nest 6:37 a.m.
When Hillker entered through the leather door piece, he was amazed at the wall design and the difference of the citizens’ shelter and the huge queen’s dome. The rock dome’s size was most likely twice the height of Killgan’s size. The floor had an remarkably soft surface. He could even see the foot marks which were probably printed several weeks ago. The dome had all sorts of stones on the wall with dried up sticks on them portraying nests. Some even had a few eggs on the nests. Even some cave art streamed along the wall, full of creatures all around the desert. Even some paintings of the drats were painted. But there was a painting of a large creature, that’s chest was glowing...
“Thank you for joining us.” said a voice that was very mystical like. In the back of the dome was 3 mudokons. One was very big in size. It was the queen. Her beak was very large and pointy. Her skin was white like the snow in a blizzard. Her abdomen was surprisingly small for a queen mud. You probably heard from the other muds that their queen has an enormous abdomen. This one had a small one, which was the size of 2 basketballs on top of each other. She had 2 loincloths in their respectful places. Feathers extended along her body and tattoos slid on her arms like a snake. And this will boom you. On the back of her hands was the marking of the scrabs and paramites. This amazed Hillker. He had known that sign was given to those who come through Paramonia and Scrabania in one piece. But that meant she had...
“Ahem” muttered Killgan. He rose an eyebrow. He noted on how Hillker stared at the queen’s appearance. He quickly shifted to bowing and looked at the two others. But they weren’t amazing like the queen. He’s seen mudarchers before. They were most likely covered in all sort of makeup to make the two identical. Trust me. I’ve seen the make up they wear. The only difference the 2 had from each other was that the mudarchers had they had was that the queen’s face was imprinted on their heads.
“We have a sitution.” said Killgan in a concern voice and looked at Hillker.
The queen, still without any show of any emotion, said “Please explain”
This time Hillker replied and spoke of his vision. When he was finished speaking, the queen rose an eyebrow and stood before him. She was the most towering being Hillker had ever seen. He had a stir in his stomach that he had never felt before.
She said in her mystic voice, as if she was a spirit, “Be strong. This may hurt a bit.” It was a while after that event (which consist of some research) before I knew the exact thought she thought. She thought
Especially for you. Suddenly, the queen rose her arm and a lightning bolt struck Hillker and he rose in the air. The lightning was still there and it was as painful as being bit in the heart over and over again. Blue light was shone across the room from Hillker like a projector. He could only see in his mind what was happening. He saw his vision again. It was being projected to the muds in the room. When it was finished, he thought the unspeakable pain was gone. He was wrong. In fact, the vision repeated. 6 times to be exact, before he was hastily dropped. His back was in pain this time and he was unconscious. However, for some reason I couldn’t explain, his conscious roomed around the room, listening to the now conversation.
He heard Killgan’s footsteps and heard his gasp. “Is he alright?”
The queen said to Killgan, “He’s alright. It could’ve gone better though. I’m supposing this is the powerless one?”
A voice that Hillker couldn’t recognize said “Yes sir.” And when Hillker could tell all eyes was on that one mudokon, the mud said “Before my transformation, I meet Killgan and the boy. I recognize his eyes.” It was that moment Hillker knew it was one of the mudarchers.
Another voice, much lower than the other, which was the other mudarcher as well, said “That is not important now. What is important is how we are going to warn the Grubbs of the Drats.”
The queen said “I have seen the position of the sun, and it far too late to warn them. They’ll come in 4 days.” This surprised Hillker.
Next, mudarcher 1 said “Wow. That is a short period of time. But couldn’t we arrive at their village by 2 days?”
The queen instantly said, as if she memorized answers “3 days, since the scrab migration valley is covered.” This valley was a place where scrabs migrated to one side of the valley to the next. The valley was considered a scrab land and they travel in their territory every 3 months. And trust me, they take a heck of a long time to get out.
“Ok, 3 days.” said mudarcher 1.
“What?! It would have to take an entire army to get past there! No way can we get there in time!” argued mudarcher 2.
“Well gentlemen, I guess we would have to think harder. Any suggestions?” said the queen. First there was silence.
Unexpectedly, Killgan cleared his throat and proposed “Couldn’t we just possess one of the scrabs? I’ve heard from one of the mudokon escapees that Abe had that power. Couldn’t we just do the same? And to solve the speaking problem, psychological communication would fit nicely for a replacement.” At first, no one replied.
“I like it.” said one of the mudarchers.
“You made an interesting plan Killgan that could save them and maybe even us. Thank you.” said the queen as she walked to Killgan. “I’ll see to it that this plan will be a classified army command.” Next, she gave Killgan a quick peak. “Now be sure this is said to the other warriors.”
Killgan without any sign of emotion said “Yes sir.” He picked up Hillker’s body and went out the door.
Royal Grubb palace
6:34 a.m.
Teo said to Gizee “So let me get this straight. You want us to join 3 others in a help mission to save our society? You want 3 others to go on a short route while Curtis and I go on the short route. Those three will cross a certain mountain that has a well, that’ll connect to the well in the mudokon base. And this well is unknown to anyone in the desert beside us, since it was broken many years ago. When those 3 find know where the village should go, your son will contact us through an old slig walkie talky and I will write it down in map form and Curtis runs to you with the map. Next, you want me to stay where I am and search for drats while the village prepares for evacuation. Finally, I go back to where you are.”
The Gizee’s son grumbled “You got it Sherlock Holmes.” Curtis scowled at him. Seriously, what does Jessie see in him?!
Gizee, unaware of his son’s behavior, said “Yes, it’s that simple. Nothing could go wrong.” Teo felt unsteadily about the situation he was in. He thought of the chances of failure. But if you knew Vikay, you would know he is making an unexpected move.
