After turning east at a crossroad, the company had indeed split in half. Now Shaddix lead Uuuuaasarrrrrgrrgrghhhh, Twiglet, and Sedge, towards his old friend Ingleburt.
"Now, here's the thing with old Ingleburt." Shaddix began. "I'm not sure how useful he's gonna be. He's a bit weird, and you gotta be a bit weird yourself to get him." He turned to Sedge who was sitting on the floor.
Sedge sat with his legs open and bis braid running down his chest. His tongue was poking out, and he was starring blankly at the sky.
"Yeah, a bit like that." Shaddix nodded to Sedge, who blinked in response. "Sedge, you ready to go?"
Again, Sedge simply blinked.
"There is much hidden in this one..." Twiglet stated, looking down at the mysterious Sedge.
"Rrruuaaassaaarrraaaaggghhh!" Contributed Uuuuaasarrrrrgrrgrghhhh.
"Really? Hidden? I don't know about that, tree boy." Shaddix said, with his hands on his hips. "T' tell you the truth, I think he's fuckin' retarded. If we didn't bring him along, he'd be dead within the night."
"And night is soon approaching, Shaddix McStarBanger, yet it could be of great benefit to keep this otterman with us." Twiglet said. "Do not make decisions in haste, young bard."
"Yo, fuck you Twiggy! I'm Shaddix McStarBanger, and I'm number one!"
"Drruuaarrassaaaaaggghhsssss?" Uuuuaasarrrrrgrrgrghhhh asked. Sedge turned to the octopus and looked at it.
"You mean they're talking about me?" Sedge asked the octopus.
"Sssrrrruiaaaaaaaiiiuppphhhh!" Uuuuaasarrrrrgrrgrghhhh said, nodding.
"I wasn't listening." Sedge said sadly. Then he stood up and turned to them. "Hello! Nice to meet you, I'm Sedge!"
"We know who you are Sedge." Shaddix said, a tad annoyed. "You've been with us for a few days now."
"I don't remember." Sedge replied with a smile.
Shaddix turned back to Twiglet. "I'm going to kill this moron myself in a minute, I swear to the AC/DC."
Twiglet looked down at Sedge. "Otterman, you can converse with the octopus, can you not?" He asked.
"Ya'! You and her are the only ones I remember."
"Yes, it seems you may be of benefit to us yet. See, Shaddix? Young Sedge is our translator with the octopus." Twiglet explained.
"More like octopussy! Am I right!?" Shaddix raised an open palm towards Sedge for a high five, who sniffed the hand and then licked it. "Ech," he said.
The group continued onwards, the Sun slowly sinking behind a sea of trees in the distance.
The group came into a clearing just as night began to fall, and Shaddix stopped them.
"Alright my loyal fans, I'm pretty tired. Let's have a rest and carry on in thirty, yeah? Alright, groovtacular." Shaddix said, placing his lute and mead on the ground.
Sedge laid his fish out on the floor in an orderly manor, and then he bit into one, eating it.
Behind a tree, Shaddix was bashing one out when he heard the stomping noises of Twiglet coming up close.
He laced up his breeches and turned to see what the old ent wanted.
"What do you want, oldy? I already let you keep the blue idiot as a pet." Shaddix asked, still as hard as Twiglet's skin.
