Chapter The Swamps feeding frenzy!
The air was musty and damp and it was dark as night. The swamp trees stood tall and Silak lied high up in a branch knocked out from his fall. Birds came flying by pecking Silak thinking he was dead. Then suddenly a small moan came from him and his eyes opened. As he got himself together and grabed a branch and warded off all the birds. As they flew awey Silak got himself together and jumped to the ground. In lots of pain he moaned.
"Ohh... Ohhh mann help, help anybody help!"
"Where am I?" Thought Silak. As he looked around and saw nothing but dark swamp in all directions. He was afraid that his friends believed he was dead and that they will give up searching for him.
"Great, now I am in trouble! What do I do now? There is nothing but swamp in all directions. Kluna and Zin probabbly think I am dead. I must find them or show them somehow to find me. The only thing I can think of is get to the volcano and climb. Then start a fire and and make smoke signals." thought Silak.
And so he was off But meanwhile Kluna and Zin and company were makeing their way into the swamps when Zin realised more meeches were headed their way.
"STOP!"
"What is it Zin?" said Kleek.
"RUN!"
"What?"
"Just do it!" yelled Zin.
"What about Kluna?"
"Take him Kleek! Go to that giant log over there! I will see whats going on."
"Blunk, Wheely we need to hide!"
"We comming master Kleek!" said Wheely
Suddenly as Zin approached the top of a small rise on the edge of the swamp he saw a massive herd of meeches running across the field. They were running in a zig zag fashion as if they were about to attack prey. Then suddenly one of the meeches saw Zin standing on the rise. It screamed and suddenly in a matter of seconds the herd began to run towards him at top speed. Zin began to run towards the log as meeches started running up aside of him and passing him. It was as if the meeches werent after him but running to something. Suddenly a small herd of normal elums were running out of the swamp. The meeches started attacking them and devouring them as Zin hopped over the log. There was blood everywhere for it was a meech feeding frenzy. Some of the meeches stayed and investigated the log. They were poking their heads through and started snareling at them fiercely. One of them jumped up onto the log and looked down at them and snarled. But suddenly just before the meech was about to attack normal Scrabs and normal paramites were also in the area which elerted the meeches that were on them. The massive herds were still running when suddenly a rorm beast came rampageing out of the swamp and pinning a meech to the ground devouring it whole with paramites and scrabs picking up the scraps.
"keep low guys we don't want him to see us!" said Zin. As the Rorm was feeding on its prey. They crept un noticed into the swamps and headed to the Vykkers kingdom of the trees. At the same time Silak was crossing the dreaded swamps in hopes of finding his friends alive.
