Thanks guys I really appreciete it.
Chapter 14 Rope Bridge!
The sun grew high and the heat was sweltering. The sounds of many creatures filled the jungle. As our friends were moving down the path into the gorge, they came to a massive narrow crevas with a flimsy rope bridge crossing it. Kluna glanced into the crevas and he saw no bottom to it. Only waterfalls going into it.
"Guys, what do we do now?" Asked Kluna.
"Well, I guess we are going to have to cross this." Said Silak.
"Cross this?" "Look how deep this is." "I see no bottom!" Explaned Kluna. "I aint crossing this!"
"Comeon Kluna, theres a bridge!" Replied Zin.
"Yea an old junky rope bridge!" Said Kluna.
"Well, I guess we should cross this, one at a time to be safe." Explained Silak. "Lets draw grass blades to see who goes first." "Who ever gets the longest blade will cross first." "Ok?" Said Silak.
"Sounds fair enough." Said Zin.
Then Silak and Zin stared right at Kluna.
"What?"
"Is it Alright?" Asked Zin.
"Yea, I guess." "But I never win these things!"
"Ok guys heres the blades pick one."
And so they did and of coarse Kluna picked the longest blade of grass. So he had to go first.
"Mann I knew it!" "Ok here I go!" Cried Kluna.
"After he gets across you go next Zin."
"Sure."
But as Kluna was in the center of the rope bridge a loud roar came from within the Jungle. Silak and Zin looked at each other with a frighten stare on each other face.
"Oh my odd!" "It's the Rorm, we got to move!" Yelled Silak.
"What is it guys?" Yelled Kluna.
"The Rorm Beast is comeing we have to move!" Cried Zin.
Then they suddenly ran right on the rope bridge. Kluna was still in the center and Silak and Zin were approaching. But the sounds of the massive Rorm Beast was getting closer. Another growel came from the beast and the trees began to sway. Then all of a sudden the Rorm Beast appeared and started to reach for our friends. Suddenly with a quick swipe of the rope bridge, the massive claws of the Rorm tore the bridge in half.
"Hold on!"
The Bridge was now hanging on the other side with our friends holding onto their lives. The Rorm began to shoot flames but was missing them every time. It started to get annoyed by that and just decided to leave and go back into the jungle. Kluna and Zin manage to pull them selves up but Silak was haveing a hard time because he is glukken useing his long hands to grab on.
"Comeon Silak!" "Reach for my hand!" Said Kluna.
"I got him!" Yelled Kluna.
Our friends manage to get themselves up.
"Wow, that was something!" Cried Silak.
"I notice something about that Rorm!" "It had a scar on it's face." "Oh my, Great it's the same one that attacked me the other day." "Swell now he has our sent!" Explained Silak
"Thanks for helping me out of there."
"No problem Silak!" "Thats what friends are for."
"Lets rest!"
Our friends luckily made their way over the rope bridge without getting themselves killed in the process. While they were resting from that ordeal, a little ways down they did not notice the meeches that were following them. they were jumping over the cravas and running into the bush. Our friends are safe for now but what dangers are still to come?
