Been walking for days. I am on my way back to the swamp where I live. About another days walk. No, really didn't need. well I was getting very edgey, nervous. There is a very unusual lack of animals around here. Its very distrubing. I heard others and I had to find out who was here and see if they know whats going on..."He hears the loud explosion and duck instinctly. " What in the world was that? We have got to check it out. I would like the company. How about it, Umiriko?"
