| The Black Swamp is a rancid foul place full of many dangers... especially with out an Akidotoran guide! |
 |
| "Tell me Cheeky how far is the hive?" ask Iwasawa. |
 |
| "About half a day's travel, but don't worry we wont go by foot through the mucky muck: I have a raft" and sure enough a small dinghy big enough for about 4 people was hanging on the shoreline. He and the others got on, and they casted off... Herio said "Hmph, I was hoping to have more time to develop those horns and hound fangs..." |
|
| "so tell me Cheeky... where is this Hive located at" ask Iwasawa shifting around on the boat.She didn't trust boat and with somebody like Cheeky on it was a shaky ride. |
|
| "Well... I can't really tell you per say. Its located in a tunnel a few hours from here and an hour or so after that we'll walk through the main tunnels and you'll see the Queen herself... just like I was ordered". he said rather mysteriously. |
|
| "Ah well I-I can't wait to see her then" Iwasawa replied weakly."Wait a minute..." Turning around to face him she ask him"what do you mean just like I was ordered?". |
|
| "Oh... I guess it'd be hard for your kind to understand. Umm, do you ever get the feeling that despite even when your parents are not around you know what they'd want or expect of you? You just know about what your parents want?" said Cheeky explaining |
|
| "Yeaaa..but my parent are dead now and I rather not talk about it." Iwasawa was silent afterward about the talk of her family but the sound of soobing could be heard. In a few moment Iwasawa was...snoring? |
|
| Cheeky looked at the girl saddened, he did not wish to offend her. So he sighed and told himself he'd apologize once she awoke, it was getting late. So he thought he'd let her sleep and he'd just talk to Herio in the mean time... |
|
| After a few hour of sleep Iwasawa awoke to find herself still inside the raft."How far are we know from the Hive Cheeky?" ask Iwasawa in a sleepy voice. Rubbing the sleep from her eye Iwasawa turn around to look for the parcel when she notice that it was gone.Stannding up in a frantic Iwasawa look around for it...and trip right over it into the water. |
|
| "Iwasawa!" called Cheeky as he took one of his long 'arms' and snatched her out of the nasty water. Herio pulled out one of his old rags and gave it to Cheeky to dry her off. Cheeky said "Be careful and do not disturb the water..." his clicky voice was gravely serious. |
|
| "S-sorry" Drying herself with the rag."Man I all wet now" sigh Iwasawa."But anyway how far are we from it now Cheeky?" |
|
| "We will be there in the morning, at night we can't travel as efficiently. Be cautious, do not follow any lights, dont listen to any strange voices, and do not I repeat DO NOT touch the bloody water" said Cheeky firmly in his childlike clicky voice. Cheeky looked down at his feet and saw a small leather photo folder with a small lock and said "This is what you were looking for right?" offering it to her. |
|
| "O why yes it is" taking the parcel she procced to tie it to the back of her guitar."There now it won't get lost anymore". Iwasawa then turn around to watch the flow of the raft on the swamp.In her mind she was wounding what was in the river that scare Cheeky so. |
|
| Herio sat back down and tilted his head and 'looked' every which way and said "Where's Ketsu?" the bat was no where to be found and he couldn't hear it. Cheeky shrugged his 'shoulders and looked into the swamp with his compound eyes. |
|
| Looking up at the sky and tree Iwasawa couldn't see her crow "Now that you mention it I wonder where Zell is" Iwasawa wonder out loud. // Zell is the name of her Familiar |
|
| "Ahhhhh... we're screwed" said Cheeky pointing at the water, something was moving under the water and wit was coming fast! "Your Familiars were smart to get above the treetops.... their animal instincts reject these kinds of things more than any other monster..." |
|
| "What Monster?" said Iwasawa.When suddenly the boat was capsize and the three of them were thrown into the water."S***" Looking around for the nearest land she started swimming toward the land when somthing came out of the water before her."Oooo s***" she said again in a lower voice this time. |
|
| I twas a plant, or at least resembled one. The 'blossom' formed a set of green redstained jaws and it had vines going everywhich way picking up the boat... and Herio. Cheeky was no where to be found at this time.... |
|
| "Herro!" shouted Iwasawa "S*** i can't cast my spell while I in water,got to get on land and where Cheeky?!" she thought to herself.Soon she manange to find find herself on dry land and was soon grinning "Allrighty now then let see what we can do about you" Holding out her palm toward the creature Iwasawa let loose a blast of air at it. |
|
| The plant monster thingy bent like a reed in the breeze, and it whipped one of its vines at Iwasawa. Herio managed to slice one of the vines with his axe and land in the water (which came to his waist). But the thing shot what looked like burs out of its 'mouth' of a blossom and it ripped up his face as he howled in pain. |
|
| As the vine hitted her in the stomach Iwasawa flew backward 5 feet but manange to cushion most the fall by simply having the air push her up.Taking a running start and then jumping Iwasawa manange to jump right over the plant thing head.When she was right over it she let loose a burst of air right at it pushing the thing right under the water. |
|
| Its head went back unde rthe swamp water... but 2 more heads popped up! Along with original and obviously rather crumple looking one. Herio was still holding his face, and spores were now growing from it, all hope seemed to be lost... when Cheeky popped out of the water holding what looked like some roots! and one of the other to plants crumplefd over an died! Cheeky yelled "They're plants girly! Kill'm like the weeds that they are!" |
|
| "Say What?!" swim Iwasawa could do, diving under water was somthing out of her skill."There got to be another way she thought to herself" That when it came to her. Holding out her palm toward one of the head.Iwasawa forcus the wind to as sharp as an balde and sent it toward the stem.The thing 'head' then fell to the water."YEA!" cheer Iwasawa she then turn to the last head to do the same thing when a vine warped itself around her hand and pulled her into the water. |
|
| "Girly!" yelled Cheeky as he dived in after her using his claws to cut the vines and get her to the surface, and carried her to shallower water. Herio on the other hand was not so lucky... the remaining plant was beginning to consume him. With its appetite now being sated, it would no longer attack Cheeky and Iwasawa... Cheeky carried her to the boat and and began to sail away with prayers for Herio's safe arrival in the after life and that Jack would come and collect him quickly... |
|
| It was a few hour after twilight that Iwasawa woke up with a start.Noticing that she was wet again wet but at least she was sort of dry,that when she saw that Herro was not with them.Turning around Iwasawa ask Cheeky in a worry voice "Cheey where Herro?!" |
|
| "He... he's with Jack Gray now... you won't have to worry about him anyomre" Cheeky didn't sound his usually cheery self, he sounded... mundane and emotionless. |
|
| Iwasawa was shocked that Herro was dead.The toughtest looking one was dead.She couldn't belive it.How was she going to tell Vlad now."Vlad how close are we to the city now?" ask Iwasawa in a small voice. |

|
| "Who's Vlad?" asked Cheeky "But we are close to the Hive... we'll be there soon." |
|
| Blushing Iwasawa quickly said "Ah it just a person I met before I met you guy" Turning around she face the front of the boat and for the rest of the trip she was quielt. //how could you kill him >< and how long are the 2 of us going spend in here XP |
|
| Cheeky nodded his head and said "We will be arriving at the Hive shortly..." //Exit for the Hive// |
|
| "Short one person" Iwasawa said softly. //leave for Hive |
