Gians of Giri

Zime's Return

The next deckro, Mesan and Fyrca worked on the small male body, perfecting it for use. Aruki helped with the gills, just like before. Shesa and Theon kept Swani with lessens. They also were productive in figuring out that it was possible to make a large fork-like instrument that was eventually named a trident. A fork was used in eating kalro, but a trident was used to defend someone without using elemental abilities. Swani couldn't control an element, so it was the only option since they didn't know the future. Along with that, they were able to make a lightweight shirt and pants for her via woven kalro.

When the time came for the first male life to be created, the body was given shorts and a shirt as well. Theon made the mind and the tadkit came to life. Aruki was helping Swani create a dress, and so Shesa told him of his fellow galephra.

"Her name is Swani." Shesa explained. "She likes to race to get better at swimming and tends to win. Maybe she can show you how."

"I can't wait to meet her." The tadkit, Kichi, said. "I hope she likes me."

"She probably will." Shesa replied, as they exited the tunnel between the two water areas. After a few centicycles, they could see Swani in the distance practicing her trident skills by doing a few strokes. Shesa told him to hide behind a rock once they got close enough and he nodded. She swam up to the female tadkit and told her she had a surprise.

"A surprise?" Swani put down her trident. "Really? What is it?"

"Not a what, a who." Shesa smiled, and called for Kichi to come out. Swani went behind Shesa, nervous. Kichi swam up to her. Slowly, she came out and the two looked at each other in silence. He had blue scales, unlike Swani's red. They both had yellow eyes. Kichi was the first to speak.

"Want to see who's faster?" He asked before zooming off. Swani called after him.

"I'm going to be faster, you'll see!" Swani laughed and swam after him. Because of practice, she won. but both of them enjoyed each other's company. They sat down and got their act together. Kichi looked around, and frowned.

"Um...Swani?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you know where we are?" The two galephra looked around. "Are we lost?"

"No, we aren't lost." Swani replied. "We...um...we just...yeah." She slipped down beside Kichi. "We are lost. But Shesa or Theon or someone will find us. There's nothing to worry about."

The two galephra talked as they waited. Soon, someone did find them. But not anyone that they had met, or expected. Zime, as previously Xime, watched them from a nearby cave. He smiled as he thought of a plan to get back at the other gians. He swam up to the two tadkits.

"Hello." He said. The two turned to the new arrival. Kichi went behind Swani, who wished for her trident so she would feel more brave.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"My name is Zime," The gian introduced himself. "And who are you two?"

"I'm Swani, and this is Kichi." Swani replied. "Do you know where we are? We don't know the way back to the house."

"Are you a gian?" Kichi asked him.

"I am a gian. As for the way back, I do know it." Swani and Kichi were very glad to hear this. "Just follow me, I will guide you back."

"Thank you!" Kichi and Swani said together. They followed Zime. Unknowing to them, however, Zime had no intention to take them back to the house. In fact, he was going to take them to an underground portal, which led to a place outside of Giri. This place he named Zokun, and he had made it a sev ago. Swani thought of something, and it could show on her face. The gian that was with them asked what was wrong.
