Unhuman

The Plot continues..

Guess who finally had the time and effort to write this!....It me :)    hi

I do apologize in advance.. I don't know many of the amphibian characters so I made up the names..

--------------------------------I shall part the red sea-----------------------------------

Its been a while since I've seen Wally. I kind of miss him. The music loving frog had grown on me during the limited hours we've been together.

I had the map he had given me right in my grasp, its kind of funny that a land inhabited by frogs was in the shape of a Lily pad. After he quite literally flew away, I took the time to take out the one working blue pen I had, all the rest were wasted either doodling random scribbles in the corner of my maths book or letting Sasha borrow them... she never gave them back now that I think about it.

The map had been an old one, some words already fading. Unfortunately most of the words were written in a different language which is strange since Wally spoke perfect English despite their different language, which is also weird...how does an alien know English??!! Is Wally even an Alien??

This left me with writing my own wordings starting with the cave, all the different places I passed by alone, then with Wally, up to the point where I'm at. So far what I've written were simple and basic names but really its just more convenient. 

So far my plan had been to get out of this forest. Its trees were so tall and its wide branches barely lets me see the sky. It seems like time had stopped... but at the same time its like weeks- no. months had passed since I landed here. I can't tell when is night or day. I can't tell how long it had been and its driving me insane. 

I've concluded that moving west would be the shortest path out of the forest. According to the map its seems that the area I'm heading towards is a clearing of some sort from the forest that I'm in. All I can assume that its a frog village of sort who would let me stay there and maybe finally catchup on some decent cleaning that's overdue.

Talking about cleaning! I've been growing some weird... rashes maybe? Its not particularly rashes, but areas on my right arm had been swelling for some reason and it is very concerning. Its almost like something was trying to dig out my arm, to break through my skin.

It terrifies me.

Maybe I'm allergic? It might be a possibility. I'm simply just reacting weirdly to the foreign environment. That must be it.

Either way I want out! Out from this game of will I go home or not. I just want me.. back home with Mom, Dad and most of all Domino. I'm already at 34% battery left to admire the bestest cat in the whole universe!!

It only took what felt like a solid 20 minutes of jogging where started to see.. no trees!! YES!! I arrived at the obvious border between the two areas, where the trees cut off to the flat lands.

What I first noticed infront of me were the miles upon miles of trampled mud and dirt, with not so friendly-looking jagged mountains and ravines in the distance framing the scenery and in the middle of it what seems to be the only building nearby sitting dangerously over a rocky cliff. A lone tower. It looked extremely old, with medieval style walls surrounding its perimeter with only barren trees covering the front of the walls. What seems to be the cherry on the cake was a single red flag with the print of a skull of a frog?.. toad??? its hard to tell from the distance.

Two unfamiliar voices broke the silence. I had somehow not noticed the two toads nearby having a conversation. I quickly hid back into the bushes hoping none of them noticed me. The toads were clearly not the friendly kind, they were wearing armor and were twice the size of Wally. Their sharp teeth and hard, bumpy skin resembles a toad.

One of them were leaning on a wooden carriage pulled by the most humongous tarantula?? That's terrifying. 

"You got the stuff Josh?" the red-skinned toad spoke.

"Of course I did! Eddy how could I forget our armor" replied Josh.

Eddy leaned on the tarantula with huff and argued "Well I'm not the forgetful one from the two of us! Matter of fact, last week you forgot pack your sword! How could you forget your SWORD!! A warrior should never  forget their weapon AND you only remembered it after TWO hours after we left!"

Josh straightened looking hurt. "It wasn't my fault I forgot. I didn't do it on purpose.. I thought you got over it..."

Eddy only looked more annoyed "Because you got us late we probably wouldn't even make it in time for orientation!! Do you know how many people are counting on us! We were the only willing representatives they have. We can't let them down! "

As Josh stayed silent looking down guiltily, Eddie continued quieting down as he palmed his face "We can only hope they will excuse us with the extra armor we are bringing in-" he said shaking his toad head towards the barrels stashed in back of the carriage.

By now I stopped eavesdropping on their conversation. Its one thing trying to survive in another world and its another  thing to listen to a private conversation. I have morals.

I started to crawl away in hopes of getting away from them until one of them brought up 'a weird bossy monster'... Maybe I was bringing up my hopes, but I couldn't help but wonder. So far I've been called monster by these people. Its only safe to assume that this so called monster could be a human as well. Seeing that they called her bossy I assume its Sasha!

I couldn't believe it! Sasha. Was. Here. If I went with them I can meet with Sasha. Then we can both go and find Marcy from wherever she is and then find a way back home sweet home! 

I couldn't help but feel giddy as I quickly sneaked into one of the empty barrels in the back and closed the lid on me as I got used to the dark.

It didn't take long until I felt the carriage moving towards the tower, as I felt happy that I'll soon see one of my childhood best friends.

Maybe I wouldn't be stuck here for long!
