Overseer (previous in Pterandon)

Chapter 20

As Fuzzball walked through the forest, it turned out to be a swamp. This made Fuzzball hard to walk due to the lack of land and mostly swamp water, but the Dodo’s could easily float on the water. “Uh guys, I feel like we’re being watched.” Sneaky said, anxiously. “Is it food?” Chunky asked, looking desperate and eager to eat anytime. “No, you fat, foods don’t walk.” Mocker replied. Buddy, which was on top of Fuzzball’s head, seemed to be very stressed about something. “Chirp! Cheep cheep! Chirp!” It went on until there was a rustle in the trees.

“I think we should hide.” Honeydrop said, looking worried like Buddy. But it was too late, a giant spider came rushing out of the trees. Looking mad. “Who dares enter!?” The large spider bellowed. “It’s the Broodmother!” Honeydrop whispered in Fuzzball’s ear. Everybody looked at Fuzzball, waiting for him to say something. “Um, a Ferox and five Dodos?” He replied. The Broodmother hesitated for a second, then looked down. “Hmmm, an ally. I suppose?” The Broodmother asked. “I guess?” Fuzzball replied, looking worried. He turned around to see the Dodos hiding behind swamp trees. A sudden explosion came near the distance. “It’s them!” The Broodmother shouted. She quickly did a stress call, this was Fuzzball’s and the Dodos chance to escape.”

“Guys, come on!” Fuzzball shouted to them as he tried to run. More explosion came, this made it even more difficult to escape. But the Dodos were catching up to Fuzzball easily. Along the way Fuzzball saw smaller spiders crawling on trees and scattering around, screeching loudly. “Hurry guys!” Fuzzball shouted as he saw land. Suddenly an explosion happened in front of Fuzzball, he fumbled back into the water. Fuzzball’s upper right arm was injured with a cut, but he was eager to get out. “Fuzzball! Hurry, come on!” Shouted Honeydrop as the Dodos was getting closer to the land. Buddy however, was clinging on Fuzzball’s head for dear life. Fuzzball saw the Dodos on land, looking worry to see if Fuzzball was gonna make it out of it alive. He finally got on land, panting for air. But somebody was missing. “Guys, where’s teeny tiny Bob?” Mocker asked.

All of them turned toward the swamp to see a dead corpse. The water around it turned red. It was Bob. The little Dodo, as young as 1, stayed dead still on the water. “Guys, we gotta go.” Fuzzball said as he quickly ran toward the flatland, with the Dodos racing behind. “Who did that?” Honeydrop said, looking very sad. Everyone else was very sad, even Mocker. “It must be the C.A.I.F.T or the Rockdrakes.” Fuzzball replied. “What are we gonna do now?” Sneaky asked, scanning the area. “We have to keep moving, to somewhere that we are safe.” Fuzzball replied. But really, he didn’t know what to do, he couldn’t save his kind nor stop the war. Most of all he couldn’t help his friends.

Fuzzball felt useless.
