Chapter 6 Land of the Shadow!
Darkness covered the lands south of the Chapital. The dark Muds mineing facility sat in the middle of what was known as the land of the shadow. Or in other words the land of the long extinct Gargaznoo. Craven the bounty hunter along with his new found friend Cronus McNackin a slukkon, were headed to an ancient palace near the Dark Mud's mineing facility in their ship. Among the many parked spheres were a new kind of vehacal in which the Bounty Hunters and Dark Muds were useing. A new type of vehacal constructed by a race of beings far more intelegent then anything yet known. they were sleek and saucer shaped which had large guns sticking out upon each of its wings. Out of the top of these new vehacals were these large silver sails that made them look rather unieque in their structure. For these new forms of deadly transportation were known as Sand Sails. an expieremental vehacal inwhich could possiably replace the spheres. Trilas the leader of the Dark Muds was waiting paitiently upon a balcony of the ancient Gargaznoon palace as the sun was beginning to set. Waiting for Craven to return from the Capital.
Craven's Sand Sail came to a stop near the enterance to the palace as he and Cronus were heading up the ramp to the gate. At the large gateway were two Dark Mud guards holding huge leashes that were attached to Rorm beasts. The two Rorms snarled at Craven and Cronus and stared them on as the gate was opening.
"Stand aside we have business to attend to!" said Craven as the gate was opening. Back up on the balcony a guard entered the balcony in which Trilas was standing on and told him.
"Sir I balieve Craven has returned my master. But with a Slukkon master. Should I order him dead?"
"A Slukkon you say? said Trilas. "How interesting, Bring them in!" ordered Trilas.
And so they were brought in and were greeted by Trilas and sat down to get right to business.
"Please come in my friend. Tell me who is your Slukkon friend Craven?"
"He's Cronus. he wishes to help us out on this project Trilas." explaned Craven.
"Very well. He looks tough enough for the Job that he could possably replace Orphious someday I hope!" said Trilas.
Cronus looked at both of them and was kind of embaressed.
"Pardon me for asking but can I step out for a minute?" asked Cronus.
"You may go Cronus wait for me at my Sand Sail." said Craven.
As Cronus was leaveing he was stareing at Craven and Trilas discussing their business as the door to the room shut.
"Your friend seems a bit shy." said Trilas.
"Oh Cronus? its nothing he just likes being by himself all the time and I respect that of him." said Craven.
"What ever, now right to business. You will be most pleased in how our progress is comming. I can feel it we are close!" explaned Trilas.
"Pardon me for asking Trilas but what is it that we are actually seeking?"
"Fortune and glory Craven Fortune and glory!"
A strange smirk came upon Cravens face as he smiled.
"For a year now the resistence have been looking for the Omega Relec which was lost of those cursid Mudokins of Mudos. Just reciently Orphious has reported that they have found the Relec. But that is not what we are in search for. Yes my friend the powers of the Relec have been striped awey from that rock and now it is useless. You may ask what is it that I seek? Well what if I told you that the powers of the Relec came from something else in origen?"
"Thats imposable Trilas! There is no such thing on Oddworld that could possably hold the powers of the Relec other than itself!" said Craven.
"But you are wrong Craven. Weeks ago a group Zilen researchers stumbled upon some strange black dust that seems to be made out of the same materal of the Relec. Now this black dust had to have come from something we have never seen before. And I balieve this could be the key to unlocking the secrets to the powers of the Relec." as Trilas smiled.
"You really think we could be onto something Trilas?"
"Craven!" as Trilas laughed "I know we are on to something and it is a matter of time until we find it."
