Chapter 23 The North Wilderness!

It was getting dark, and our heros were rideing their alpha elums across the vast field. They decided to slow down and walk for they were out of harms way of Trilas and his platoon of dark muds. What they dident know was the fact that Trilas was also following them but hideing far behind them. As Zin looked up into the clear star lit sky, he notice a strange moon with several markings on it's surface. It was two Mudokin faces with a shape of a glukkens body surounding the faces. He was in wounderment in what that meant. In the distants they could hear the loud roar of a Rorm Beast howling at the moon. Also they could hear the sounds of other strange creatures comeing from far ahead of them into the wilderness they were about to enter. It was almost as if no inteligent life form existed within the wilderness they were to embark into. For the wilderness had an errie darkness that seemed to hunt Kluna and Zin, and Silak.

"I am scared Silak!" "We don't know what exists out there!" Said Zin.

It seemed as if something was hunting Zins mind But he was not aware of it at all. So they stoped and took a rest before they were to journey into the black pine forest. For this pine forest was an errie sight to see.

"It is known that the field in which we just crossed is the great divide of the south and the north." "That is probally why it is cooler here." "We are further North." explained Silak.

"Are you just saying that to keep us from being scared?" Asked Kluna.

"Why yes!" Laughed Silak. "Don't worry we will camp here tonight and tomarrow mourning we will start up again."

"But what about preditors?" Asked Zin.

"They won't come!" "Our Alpha Elums will warn us by waking us up if something was near like a Rorm or a meech." "Lets get some rest and we will start up tomarrow!" Explained Silak.

And so they did but mean while on top of a small rise in the field Trilas stood there looking down at them. Then one of the other dark muds came up to him and asked.

"Sir, what is it that makes you so cerous in them?"

"It is their difference between us." "They are not from here and I want to know why they are here." "Clorn knows something, and I need to find out." Explained Trilas.

"Sir, come, it is getting late, join us back at camp." "We will catch them but right now I am tired." Said the dark mud.

"You never ceased to amaze me." "Very well, let us sleep." Said Trilas.

Then as the dark mud went back to the camp Trilas stood there and thought to him self.

"Soon Silak, soon I will have my revenge!" "And as for your new found friends, may they feel the real nature of this land!" "For whare ever they come from, they will know what fear is and fear shall strike them ten fold"

Then Trilas went back to camp to rest. As for our friends, they sleep tonight, but unknown dangers await.
