Legends of Chima: Wild Lands

Chapter 5 Wild Horde.

By evening, the camp was ready. Worriz lit a fire using two stones he had collected, to which he received Rogon's surprised look. Laval, Cragger, Eris, and Li'ella pitched their tents in the clearing, while Gorzan and Bladvic brought three logs for the gathering. Razar collected various berries, flowers and leaves.

- Razar, why are you picking berries and leaves? We have a whole box of food. - Laval asked.

- It's not for food, my friend. I am going to sell all this when I return to Chima. Berries and flowers from the new lands will be in great profit. - Razar replied, continuing to pick flowers.

Laval just shrugged and headed towards the fire with Li'ella. Eris, Cragger, Worriz, Bladvic, Lavertus, Hunters and Tormak were already sitting next to him and warming themselves.

- It's cooler here than in Chima. - said Cragger, hugging himself.

- We're in the Under Realm. Here the temperature may be lower, and nothing is known about this world yet. - answered Eris.

Rogon and Gorzan carried a box of food to the heroes. They put him by the fire, and the rhino began to look at Eris with a cute look, which made her embarrassed.

- So they brought food. - glad Lavertus.

- When we carried him, it seemed to us that it has become easier. - said Gorzan.

Laval walked over to it and opened it. What he saw there amazed him.

- Skinnet? - Laval wondered. - What are you doing here?

- What indeed? - answered Skinnet. - The circumstances which led to my unexpected departure from Chima make for a long yet fascinating tale...

- Bottom-line us, Skunk. - demanded Tormak, crossing his arms.

- I fell asleep in a food box. - answered Skinnet.

- Howdju get in the box? - asked the Prince of Crocodiles.

- At night I accidentally fell into it when I was walking. He was standing in the street. I tried to get out, but there was so much food that I ate everything on the way. - answered the skunk.

Everyone was shocked by this news, and Lavertus immediately panicked and rushed to the box:

- No, no, no, no, no! The food! He ate all the food! The bread! The cheese! Those little cocktail weenies 'n' the peppercorn jelly! And baked potatoes too! Gone! All gone! Why? WHY?! You're a monster. - Lavertus cried and sobs squeakily. - This is the worst day of my life!

- Let's not panic. - Laval reassured everyone. - We have a mission.

- I have only one mission: to kill this skunk, food eater. - Lavertus was angry.

- Will be fun. It's a shame we didn't bring popcorn to watch this show. - Fangar was delighted.

- I ask everyone to calm down. Yes, there are no supplies now, but we have a snack in our backpacks. We will eat, and then we will look in these lands for berries, fruits, vegetables and, possibly, meat. - said Prince Lion.

- Laval is right. We must not quarrel. In addition, we do not know what this Under Realm is hiding. - supported Cragger and took a backpack with food. - I have five sandwiches, a couple of potatoes, apples and a bag of berries. What do you have?

Everyone took their backpacks and began to examine the contents.

- Potatoes, apples, herbs and sandwiches. - said Eris.

- A bag of chicken wings and legs. And a backpack of sandwiches. - added Worriz, to which he received a surprised look. - I didn't know how long we would be here, so I took more.
