Raven scowled. "Gukko, my legs and feet feel really funny." Excalibur hung at his side. Raven had won the sword- a well-deserved reward too, considering he had gone against forty men twice his size and Caliber.

Gukko nodded. "Mine too. It's just wading through the bog," he explained.

"Umm..." They had actually been wading through the bog for hours now.

"Let's take a break." Gukko was sweating in the humid air. "Phew!"

Raven, meanwhile, was rolling on the ground, screaming. "IT'S GOT ME! GUKKO!" the Paladin screamed.

Gukko grabbed his friend's shirt and pulled. He screamed too.

"GIANT ULODONIAN LEECHES! RUN!" he screamed, tossing Raven's shirt over Raven's head and dragging him into the nearest clearing.

"OMG!" Raven sobbed. "OMFG!"

"Stop saying that!" Gukko yelled, nearly crying himself."Stay still!"

Now, pulling leeches off a screaming, sobbing Paladin was no easy task, especially with Raven suddenly screaming...

"OMFG! GETTITOFF! AHH!"

Yep, no easy task, especially because they were Giant Uludonian Leeches.

(A/N: Think Giant Amazonian Leeches. 6-inches? Can kill a large frog? Yep.)

They stretched out to three times their size, and their three-inch-long sucker were deep inside of the screaming, kicking Paladin. When the last leech came off, leaving behind a trail of blood, Gukko blanched.

"GETTIT OFF ME TOO!" Gukko screamed. "OMFG! OMG! RAVEN!"
