Another chapter is here! Btw, I watched Pirates of the Carribean Dead Man's Chest today, I loved it! But there is no ending god damnit!
Chapter 7
The path of Paramonia, part I.
Welcome to Paramonia!
"Looks like we're here, these wells are kinda dirty!" Abe told them all, wiping his finger on the inside of the Paramonian well.
"Hey, don't criticise it, we kept it in good conditidion, right?" one of the Muds insisted, slapping Abe's hand.
"Yeah... whatever, come on guys, hop in, I'm right behind ya!" Abe ordered, pointing at the well.
Munch and the others looked at the well stupidly.
"Aint no way I'm gettin' in that thing! Way too messy!" Munch argued, folding his thin arms.
"Oh come on! You bunch of cowards!" Abe shouted impatiently.
No one would budge, so he decided to use force. He ran behind Munch, picked him up and threw him into the dark, damp, and dusty well.
He repeated this with the rest of his friends. Then he too, dived into the well after the others.
Abe hit the floor painfully, on top of two of the Mudokons.
"Ouch!! Get offa me!! Get off!" the Mudokon on the bottom cried, wriggling about like a worm.
Abe rolled off of the small pile and onto the soft grassy floor.
He looked around him, most of the trees were chopped down, Glukkons had been here too... "Damn! Those stupid Glukkons, look what they've done to the place! I can't stand the ********!" Abe exclaimed angrily.
There were no birds twittering, no Paramites hissing and munching on their meat, the place seemed empty.
Everyone had gotten to their feet, and were ready to set off. They passed several dead branches and leaves that were scattered all over the floor, blackened with the dreaded fire that had caused their deaths.
"Wonder if the Elums are still here?" Abe wondered, looking into the air and watching the still lever that activated the Elum gong.
"Elum don't come out unless they're called, they hide real good!" one Mud said shortly, looking at the lever with Abe.
Another Mud walked over to Abe and said something in his ear.
"What 'choo lookin' at?" he said stupidly, squinting at the sky.
"Never mind, I'm just gonna be a minute," Abe said, walking over to a well near him. He suddenly dived into it, his friends watched his skinny body fly into the air and onto a burnt wooden platform above them.
Abe jumped into the air, grabbed the hanging lever and pulled on it seven times, slowly but surely, seven Elums came plodding from the forest and to the spot next to the well.
Abe slowly climbed down the ledge and dropped to the floor, and onto one of the Elum. "Come on guys, grab an Elum and let's ride!" Abe shouted eagerly, beckoning the others to follow.
"Wow! Way cool Abey! This is gonna be wicked!" a Mud said, running to an Elum and climbing onto its back. The others did the same, Munch had to be lifted, but he was happy to be riding instead of his usual hopping.
All the Elums started to move, going at lightning speed, jumping over a gap, and into a small narrow tunnel, and out the other end, where the sun shone brightly on them.
"Well, there WAS a native Mud here before, but I see he's gone, poor guy," Abe explained, wondering how they were to get a lift.
Suddenly the guys heard metallic foot steps from behind a wooden wall at the other side of the gap where the lift should have been.
"Quick guys, get over here," Abe beckoned, he was already beside the wooden fence.
"Did you here somethin'? I heard voices!" A Slig asked another, getting worried.
"Nope, I heard nothin', no need to get worked up, no one can be here," the other Slig replied, shaking his head.
Munch and the other Muds were beside Abe, and listening in on the conversation between the two Sligs.
"Can you guys... chant?" Abe whispered.
"Yeah, only me, hee hee!" laughed one of the Muds.
"Possess a Slig after me, and we'll do something funny with them, he he!" Abe explained to the Mudokon who could chant.
"Yeah, whatever, what is this 'funny thing'?" the Mud agreed, wondering what the 'funny thing' was.
"Wait, we need spooce," Abe remembered, looking at the walls to see if he could find some.
"Ah hah!" the other Mudokon whispered, he'd found some spooce!
The two began to chant, creating two chant orbs, which would soon take over the enemy Sligs...
