This was hard! I wanted the slig to have done something REALLY bad something that would make me hate him, but I just couldn’t do it *Sob*

Ah well at least I’ve finally finished this part. X_X (How can something so small cause such problems ^^; )

The Odd Pair – Dark – 408

He really really didn’t want to die. That was the Sligs sole motivation, he didn’t want to die. It had only been an accident. A misfire.
He was a young slig, desperate to climb the ranks enough to get a gun and then a remote outpost where he could sleep the watch shifts away with his beloved arsenal at his side.
A pretty simple, and common dream.
But it was his.
At least until that brew drunk mudokon had tried to attack him.
He’d shot the idiot of course, that’s what sligs do.
But the gun had malfunctioned.
It kept firing until the magazine ran out.
By then two sligs and his commanders favourite slog were shot to death.
He got demoted for the death of the Sligs and had as punishment lost his beloved gun.
But when his commander found out that his slog was dead too.
That had earned him a one way ticket to his mothers dinner plate.
His legs had been taking off him and, now even weaker than the snivelling Mudokon worms he used to order around, it seemed like he was doomed.
At least until the slig guarding him had fallen asleep and he had figured out that sneaking away was easy without loud maniacal limbs to give you away.
Getting past the guard was easy, but getting out of the mine would be much harder and although he hated to say it, he hated to even think it.
But he couldn’t get out alone.
So why, why had the first living thing he had found been this stupid, blind, worse than useless mudokon!

“So what do we do now slig?”

An -annoying- stupid blind worse than useless mudokon!

“I have a name you know Eyeballs!”

“W-would you rather me call you my your name? A-ah, er, what is it?”

A -nosy- annoying, stupid, blind, worse than useless mudokon!

“Harass.”

“What do we do now Harass.”

“I don’t know! I can’t tell you which way to go, I can’t see! How do you stand it?”

“Stand what?”

“Being blind.”

“I never had a choice, but it’s not that bad. I can still hear smell and feel.”

“You are an idiot you do know that don’t you?” Harass snarled nastily.

“Yes Harass I know, I’m stupid.” But I’m not the one afraid of the dark.

“Hey why are you walking! Stop it! Stop walking before you take us off a ledge or something!”
