Chapter Eleven: To the Big and Shadowy Shape
"Wake up Bubbles!" Thorninyuras said.
"Why did you wake me up?" Bubbles asked. "I was having a wonderful dream where I did not need to work."
"Don't speak of that now, we are all tired!" The group complained.
"Do not despair, for we are nearly to the Single Mountain!" Gandork exclaimed.
"It does not look so near to me." Bubbles said. He could see nothing except grass and the Single Mountain, save a few patch of trees every once in a while.
"It is far judging by distance, yes, but it is not very far judging that there is nothing to waylay us!" Gandork said, proving that he is most definitely not all knowing, for of course it would very boring for you if they just walked. So, I naturally needed to add some adventure. Anyways, Bubbles hoped that it would be short and workless. Pretty soon, the group left and set out to the Single Mountain.
"The journey will take us three days." Bubbles correctly predicted to himself.
"I really need one of those bottles of Old Winyards now." Bubbles said, looking at the mountain worried.
"Claug is actually very generous.for a dragon, of course." Gandork said.
"I'm very comforted." Bubbles said. Anyway, after a long and boring walk, they came to trouble. Actually, to be technical, trouble came to them, but that's of the subject. Anyway, when they came to trouble, or trouble came to them, they were in trouble. It seemed that there were a lot of Things.
"Things? Why did I delay?" Gandork said.
"I believe you owe us money for taking our master out of business!" said the leader Thing.
"Well, I was actually going to you master right now, but I need to make some money first, which is what I am doing right now!" Gandork said.
"Well, then I guess that we will wait here until you make the money!" the leader Thing said.
"Ok." Said Gandork. So the Things just stayed there, watching the group suspiciously. When the Things were out of earshot, Gandork said, "Those Things are so easy to fool!"
"So you are not going to pay them!?" Bubbles said.
"No, why should I?" Gandork said.
"Because you owe them money?" guessed Bubbles.
"So, why should that make me pay them?" Gandork asked.
"So you do owe them money!" Bubbles said triumphantly.
"Now who said that?" Gandork asked.
"YOU!" Bubbles said.
"I did? I don't remember saying that." Gandork said.
"Well, you did. And who do those Things work for?" Bubbles said and asked.
"None of your freakin business!" Gandork said. And that ended the conversation. After a long and boring walk, they came to a nice and shady spot of trees, where they spent the night.
"Wake up Bubbles!" Thorninyuras said.
"Why did you wake me up?" Bubbles asked. "I was having a wonderful dream where I did not need to work."
"Don't speak of that now, we are all tired!" The group complained.

"Now who said that?" Gandork asked.
