MY SINGING MONSTERS: IN SEARCH OF MISSING ISLANDS (rewritten)

An Unknown Entity

Early morning sun rises, still yet another quiet morning as it usually is. Bowgart meets up with Mammott, Ghazt and Potbelly like normal but he somehow talks of what happened the night before.

"So you heard or well saw something in your garden?"

Bowgart nodded and just explained how odd it was since the creature didn't exactly look like any normal wildlife that's usually native to Plant Island. Ghazt sits there taking notes whilst observing the small crystal Bowgart brought with him, this crystal is such a unique one that doesn't appear it's from here.

"Say Bow, where did you exactly find this crystal?"

Bowgart looked at Ghazt before replying.

"Well not long after whatever was around left, I just noticed a sudden glow and thought I'd keep it just incase! especially if we're to try and look for this creature"

Ghazt just looked again at the crystal knowing something is certainly special about it. The group soon looked up when they heard someone talking before walking over, it seems what the group were talking to seemed to have took someone's interest.

"Oh hey Gal! it's nice to see you out and about now isn't it?"

Galvana gave Mammott a light but playful smack around the head whilst smiling.

"You cheeky rascal! I'm always out and about, certainly not always in that building working away because I'm a leader" 

Mammott gave a slight grin before Galvana looks to see what the small group were talking about. She seems to notice the crystal and decides to have a look, Galvana really wants to know what it actually is.

Ghazt gets her to gently put the crystal down back onto the cloth. Soon he explains to her what Bowgart talked about from the events of last night and Galvana seems to take a moment to think.

"Huh, that's extremely strange to know about. Maybe I should get Riff and Shellbeat to do a bit of a small patrol later today, just incase this same creature you encountered"

The group all nodded in agreement just to be safe considering they aren't sure if this beast is aggressive or not.

Few hours of the summer day go by, Riff and Shellbeat not long got sent off on their small patrol to look out for any sudden changes in the area, especially from what they were told by Galvana. Shellbeat seems to keep close by Riff as he's unsure on what they may be dealing with.

"Hey Shells, you'll be alright! if we stick together, nothing will happen and i promise you that!"

Shellbeat looked at Riff and gave a soft look after feeling reassured that hopefully nothing bad will happen, let alone the worse possible outcome. Shellbeat lightly reaches his hand out to hold Riff's claws, Riff looked out of suprised and chuckled before he holds Shellbeat's hand back.

"Even though we're on patrol Riff, I don't think it'll hurt to have a small walk in the woods like its a date"

Riff smiles before the two have a slow walk in the natural forests on Plant Island, the quiet chatters from the birds and the light breeze slowly causing the trees to sway ever so slowly. Although Riff and Shellbeat are doing a job, they both take that chance to also have a peaceful moment away from the village.

Riff seems to be so interested in the way nature thrives within their home, especially paying interest in the insects that live within the grass such as: ladybugs, beetles and even the smallest of insects like ants. He likes to show Shellbeat any insect he comes across, always sharing his interests and going off about their biology and place in the ecosystem.

Shellbeat just listens to what Riff has to say about the insects before he turns to look after he hears something within the bushes. He takes a step closer to Riff and holds onto his arm before pointing.

"I just heard something, I don't know if it was a bird or something else"

Riff turns and looks off into the distance, he couldn't exactly see anything and tells Shellbeat to just wait there as he goes to investigate. Something is certainly unusual as the specific area is surrounded with very faint fog, Riff looks back at Shellbeat before pulling out a trident of some sort and being extremely cautious of his surroundings.

There was only the quiet sounds of the wind and leaves, not a single sound from a bird nor any type of creature aroubd. Riff walks further forward to try and be sure nothing is there at all, he just stands there for a good while before deciding to turn around and approaches Shellbeat.

"I have a funny feeling something is there but I can't see nobody which is strange as a whole!"

Shellbeat refuses to leave Riff's side out of fear something might jump out at them so suddenly, Riff gently rubs Shellbeat's shoulder as reassurance.

"I'm just worried something might jump at us if we dare turn our backs once-"

Riff quickly turned to look up after hearing something move in the bushes, he soon quickly stands infront of Shellbeat to protect him. The two stand there waiting to see if anything is ready to appear from the mist, they wait for a good few minutes just watching the surrounding area.

Riff's eyes are fully focused on the bushes that rustled, not wanting to remove his gaze at all. Shellbeat ends up looking all around as he's worried something might jump out so sudden, especially from any angle.

"Riff why don't we just run? we're wasting time!"

Riff turned back to look at Shellbeat before he says anything.

"But if we run, there's a chance this thing might follow us back! I don't want to risk anybody's safety back at home"

Shellbeat noticed something slowly crawling out of hidding just after Riff removed his gaze. Riff looked at Shellbeat before asking what's wrong, Shellbeat pointed and so Riff turned to look.

Such a large creature almost slithering out of hiding, the body covered in pure crystals. This wasn't no regular creature at all but something far more different, the retractable tusks on the side followed by horns similar to a Werdo.

Riff and Shellbeat were both speechless and stood in fear as this creature stares at them both, with its dual connected eyes. Shellbeat soon ran off, leaving Riff on his own.

"H-HEY! WAIT FOR ME!"

The two run off in pure fear of what just appeared before their very eyes, the beast gave a small chuff before looking down a little and sniffing around. It doesn't seem it wanted to attack anyone, but at least get to know the monsters who live here as a whole.

Many moments pass and everyone is just going about their day until yelling breaks the silence. Bowgart and the others turn around in confusion to see Shellbeat and Riff trying to keep calm, Galvana gets up and goes to check what happened.

"Jeez, something must've scared them heavily"

Bowgart looked at Ghazt and decided to follow Galvana to see what happened. Shellbeat doesn't seem like talking and Riff is trying to calm himself down.

"I-it was this tall Gal! literally not even kidding! looked at us like we were lunch!"

Galvana was unsure on what exactly they saw and it seems they don't wish to talk about it at all. Bowgart just holds Riff's hand to pull him over and to help get answers on what was out there.

"Riff, I need you to calm yourself down and describe exactly what you saw okay?"

Riff takes deep breaths before he explains what he and Shellbeat saw as a whole. Bowgart stood there trying to think before pulling out the crysral he found that one night.

"Did the crystals looks similar to this?"

Riff heavily nodded, Bowgart soon realised that this might be the same animal he had in his garden. He was sure that the description Riff gave will help find the creature and to try and track it down before anything happens.
