Chapter 11
The Paramonian Temple
"Woah, this place is huge, is it any different from last time, Abe?" Munch asked his Mudokon friend curiously, looking at the high, creepy walls of the dark temple.
Abe stopped to think. "No, I don't think so... I think this temple is protected from most Glukkon attack,"Abe replied to his friend Munch's question.
The Mudokons and the Gabbit carried on their journey, and they all came across a tall, dark, doorway, with long stairs winding down the cold cave.
"Should we go down there? It looks awful creepy..." A Mudokon asked, peering into the darkness.
"Hmm... This area wasn't here last time, instead there was a lift, a Slig and a Slog, strange..." Abe pointed out, placing his large, 3-fingered hand on his chin. "We'd better get going, then.
So Abe and his party continued down the sharp, shiney, stone steps, and at the bottom a doorway was revealed, they all hesitated for a moment, but shook it off and went through.
"Holy-!" a Mudokon cried, his mouth wide in amazement.
The doorway had lead to a giant room, with humungous rock statues of the proud Paramites towering to the high ceiling.
Light beamed down from a crack in the center of the ceiling, it seemed to be shining on something...
"Abe, what is the thing on that pedestal over there? Is it safe to touch?"
Munch said worriedly, squinting at the pedestal in the middle of the room carefully.
"I... Don't really know," Abe said slowly, staring at his friends.
They were all staring at him, big grins on their faces.
"W-what?" Abe said hotly, backing away from them as they came closer.
"Go on Abe, you can do it, grab it and see what happens!" A Mudokon urged shunting Abe closer to the bright object glowing.
"Fine, selfish bastards," Abe muttered as he crept towards where the beam of light was shining.
Abe knelt before the pedestal, and looked closely at the item, it was very oddly shaped, it looked a lot like a paramite, on a lollypop stick!
"Freaky, what the hell is this thing...?" Abe wondered, scratching his butt stupidly.
He closed his eyes tightly, opened them and reached out for the paramite on a stick.
"Woah!" Abe shouted, surprised.
He had seen a short flash in his mind, and saw the Mudomo weirdo waving its ghostly hands about madly.
He shook his head wildly and looked to the side of him, he heard a very loud hiss in his tab-hole.
"Mother!" Abe said weakly, he saw inside a Paramites mouth, it was very unpleasant, claws were jiggling about crazily.
Suddenly the angered Paramite lunged at him, in a rage, but Abe quickly side rolled, and the creature skidded across the smooth, hard floor.
But Abe heard more hissing, and the padding of feet, he turned and looked across the large room, his friends were dashing towards a doorway that had mysteriously appeared out of the blue.
The hissing was made by 9 other Paramites, angered at Abe's presence, they too pounced at him, but Abe was quicker than them he did a diving roll over one of them and he speedily ran towards the recently apparated doorway, when he made it, he saw Munch closing the door, the tired Mudokon got in just in time.
"Now that, was freakin' close!" Abe panted, his heart racing painfully.
