Discovery. . .
*It is early evening in the great forest. Amber sunlight shines through the trees, after a warm day. Blue is up a tall tree, gathering the last batch of fruit for the day before going home. Just then, she thinks she hears some voices in the distance, so she stops and listens very hard, but she can't hear anything. Ignoring it, she carries on picking fruit, until she thinks she can hear the voices again. Listening very hard, she looks down at the ground in the direction of the voices, and spots something brown, square, and large on the forest floor. Climbling down from the tree, she notices that there is a hut on the other side of a very large forest lake. Carefully, she runs up to the bank, and slips into the water, trying not to get noticed. Being a very good swimmer, she reaches the other bank very quickley, and slips out of the water quietly. After ringing out her hair, she sneaks up to the hut, and looks through a hole in the wall.*
*Inside the hut, Blue sees who she thinks is Spider, lying on the floor, knocked out. A blind mudokon is kneeling down next to him, tying his hands behind his back with a peice of old rope. A mean looking, very scarred, grey Big Bro Slig is standing near the door.*
BBS: "I need ter get back ter the village. Stay here and look after Spider while I am gone."
Blind Mudokon: "I will."
*With that, the BBS moves out of the hut. Quickley, Blue darts behind a bush, and watches the BBS slink away down a path leading away into the forest. Knowing better then to enter the hut and confront the blind mudokon, she decides to follow the BBS. Keeping a safe distance, she silently stalks behind him, keeping him in her sight, untl she loses him round a tight bend in the path. Running queitly, she sees that the path leads to a small clearing, the BBS gone. After some quick thinking, she decides to take a look around to try and find where he went. . .*
