Paramonia

Finally me and Paramonos reached a beautiful land.It was wide."Is this it?"I asked him.

He nodded sadly. "It is.Used to be peaceful but now.."He paused."But now sligs herd us away.Glukkons eat us.Eat you too if not careful." I shivered at the very thought.That was terrible.Ever heard of vegatables?

"They won't do that.I'll make sure of it."

"My herd has not been found.We safe.For now."As he said this we reached some thorns and bramble.I hoped off.There was a spot big enough to crawl through.

"We go through here?"I asked pointing to the bramble.

Paramonos nodded."Okay then.This like a secret hide out or something?"

"Path leads to open clearing.We live there." We began crawling under.Sure,it was easy for him.He has to do it everytime he goes out and comes back.So yeah,it took me longer.All of a sudden Paramonos stopped short.I ran into him on accident.

"Whats the matter?"I whispered.He nodded to his left.On our right was a thick a wall of bramble and thorns,and to our left was the same,only it was broken in places.I also noticed there was something moving on the other side.It was a slig.I froze. The slig walked back and forth.Back and forth.

"Want me to stop it?"I asked him.It was a bouncer I think.

"How?"

"I'll figure something out."I looked up,grabbed onto a branch and flipped myself up.As scrawny as I was,I was also rather agile.

"Okay.Now think."I sat and looked in my pack.Thankfully the branches hid me from view.I found my flute and those neon rocks.First I threw one rock at another tree.The slig noticed and ran in that direction.Then I played a peaceful song on my flute.I had made the tune myself.The slig began looking everywhere for the source of the music.Then it began to sway with the tune,and dropped to the floor asleep.I continued to play just in case.As soon as I knew it wasn't going to awake,I jumped back down.Paramonos stared at me. Or I think he was.

"What?"

"You good.Not too far now.Paramites be waiting,"He told me.Sure enough,at the end of the path the bramble in front of us vanished,and a wide clearing surrounded by trees is what I saw.

A larger paramite now was in front.He nodded to Paramonos,but when he saw me stand up he began to hiss.Paramonos turned around and explained to him.He thought about it,then let me go through.From then on I stood next to Paramonos.He led me to a large,short tree in the near center.He told me to climb up and wait.Paramonos stood next to the tree as I sat in it.After they all eat(I munched on a snack)they grouped in front of the large tree.It was just after sunset,and they were having some kind of meeting.It was probably about me.I couldn't tell what they were saying.They were speaking too low.

After they finished Paramonos nodded for me to come down.All the other paramites went away to their 'nests.'

"You may stay.But in the morning we go to mudokon village.I go with you.Abe there.They help.It not far."I nodded.Everything seemed familiar about what he was saying.How I don't know.I climbed back up the tree and went to sleep,the thoughts of everything that had happened that day racing through my head.

When I awoke all the paramites were out.One next to the tree had a bandage on it.That was Paramonos.I leaned over and called to him.He looked up and I jumped down.

"So...when are we leaving?"I asked him.He looked out at the sky.

"Right now.We get there soon.Before sunset."He said as he began walking.I followed him.

"How are feeling?"

"Much better."

"Good enough to take the bandages off?"

"Yes."

"Hold still then."I took them off to find he had healed.But now I had no way of telling him from the other Paramites.I took out some long gold string and a large neon rock.I also took a crystal wich I used to make a large'P' in the middle of the rock.I made a kind of necklace and put it over Paramonos' neck.

"Now I can tell wich paramite you are.Now let's go." We headed back through some more thorns and into a wide forest.We traveled for what seemed like hours,encountering other paramites on the way.Soon we came to a small,secluded vilage.I guessed this was the place.We walked through seeing no one.Then I did the only other thing I really could do.

"Is there anyone out here?"I half yelled.Next out of the tents came mudokons.Everywhere.They all stared.While others came out with such things as spears.

"Umm,oops..?"
