I do not own Epic or an of it's charracters

(Nod's Pov)

I just finished racing in one of the Bufo's races winning of course, when two of Buffo's men pined me against a wall using me as a punching bag. Thankfully I knew how to take a punch, "Nod, You know I like you" said a bullfrog.
"I like you to Mr. Bufo" I said still pinned by his men, "And yet you don't do what we agreed, we agreed that you would lose"

"If you want me to lose you have to find me some better competition" I said I could see the Jinn who lost to me in the shadows looking pissed off at me.

"It's called teamwork, maybe if you understood that the Leafmen wouldn't have kicked you out".
"I wasn't kicked out, I quite" I yelled which caused Bufo to chuckle "I admire that spirit nod, feed him to something a snake would be good" said Bufo.

"No, a snake would just swallow him whole, put him in a hornet's nest now that's a show" said a voice I was all to familiar with.

"Oh look it's Ronin, defender of the weak popper of parties"
"Hey, I let you hit him" said Ronin.
"Twice" I said as Bufo's men let me go. "Hop along now little frog"

"It's a big forest out there Ronin, even Leafmen have to sleep" said Bufo as he left with his Men.
"I didn't need your help, and I'm not going back" I said crossing my arms.
"I'm not here for you, just your bird"

"Oh I get it reverse psychology, it's not going to work". "The Queen is dead" said Ronin. "Ronin, I'm sorry she was your" I was about to complete that sentence but thankfully my brain caught my tongue before I hurt Ronin more than he already was."I have to get the pod to Nim Galu"

"Sure I'll get my saddle" I said "Where you even listening, I don't need a reckless flyer" said Ronin. "Well who's riding point for you" I said and Ronin was about to respond when. A girls voice spoke.

"Mub Grub, stop that Ronin will have your heads, stop this bird this instant, whoa" said a girl as a hummingbird hopped in carrying a slug a snail and a very pretty redhead girl in a dress. She was yelling at the snail and the slug before falling off the bird on her but holding a pod in her hands.

"I'll get my saddle" I said at the exact time Ronin said "Go get your Saddle". Once my bird was ready to fly I pulled the redhead up and on to the saddle behind me. We flew for a couple of hours and stopped on a branch to look out over the Boggan's new land, half of the meadow was destroyed.

A crow moved over us and flew around the border. "We have to go around" said Ronin. "What for one boggon" I asked slightly annoyed that we had to go a longer way to get to Nim's. "Ever see just one boggan?" asked Ronin not looking at me. "Hold on to me" I said to the pretty redhead. "I barely know you" she said.

"Fine but your going to want to hold on to something" I said and Flew my bird strait into the Boggan kingdom, a flock of bats flew into the air.

"Get down" yelled Ronin as he dove to the ground and to a hollowed out log. "Mk, Nod are you alright?" asked Ronin looking us over for any cuts, Mk more so, and the Pod.

"I'm okay" said the Rehead Mk as she clutched the pod tightly. I grabbed her hand and pulled her off the ground, with to much force which caused both of us to roll down to a hole next to the log. She landed on top of me, I groaned as we landed. Mk got up quickly and cheeked the pod for any bruises. I got up and brushed myself off.

"Don't move Mk" I said seeing red eyes in the shadows come towards us. "What, what is it" Mk said slowly turning around. Red eyes ran towards us I jumped in front of Mk as a mouse charged us. Mk tried to jump out of the hole,, but her dress prevented her from jumping high enough to get out. I jumped around the hole as fast as I could till I landed on top of the mouse.

I rode the mouse as it bucked and turned quickly trying to throw me off. I hit the right side wall, the mouse reared back and ran away from us.

"They have very sensitive whiskers" said Ronin sheathing his sword. "New setting arrangement, you take the Slugs, Mk your with me" said Ronin glaring at me before hoisting the snail on my bird and grabbing Mk's hand and escorting her to his bird before hoisting.

"What was that a little chatting" asked the slug, "There's a code amongst men". "Your a slug" I said, "I saw her first" said the Slug I ignored as he made faces, "what's a matter flat face are you going to cry f to your mommy" the slug said. I just grabbed the slug and dragged him over to my bird and hoisted the slug on my bird.

I hopped on my bird shoving the slug down away from me and took off after Ronin and Mk, With an annoying Slug and a Leafmen obsessed Snail.

Please review, I know it's short the next chapter will be longer.
