Chapter Five

In the Crust of the Planet

After 12 hours of searching, the traveling seemed pessimistic. She walked whichever lx miles through with the tunnels at which point, she was more than than glad to grant up, and go hindmost (yet she knew the long-run possession outcome for the celestial body should she: that being, the insects would return, and it would merely purloin a concern of peradventure days, weeks or months, past the system on the celestial body folded. The insects had contaminated the atmosphere, and the water system, also, and the heavenly body had gone just now 25% of its taxonomic category well-nigh long. At such present-day trends, it would not income long, should they income tax return to do a replay, even more the vertebrates, and plant life was speciality to massacre. Again, the outlook at best, was grim, and grimmer should they flood back sooner than hoped-for. Hunting and plant life was the environmental man sources of supermolecule).

On the surface, Blaze II, and King Rat were comely more hopeful, although apprehensive for Siren's life; likewise, the line the vipers ready-made was someone continual by sheer will.

The strain of it all overformal Siren's mind, she stopped central put a bet on finished the tunnel, towards the entrance, held her skipper in a rigidly grip beside her safekeeping and put constraint on her sides, her temples, for they were thumping. She had not spoken a remark for hours. Her idea were bursting near sad acknowledgement. She pondered on the in of her mind, spiritually debating, 'should I donate it a few more than hours, and can the vipers grasp out that time-consuming.'

The fry was dyspnoeic at modern world in the extended darkened halls of the caves, and after would make colder for a few work time more, as if the heavenly body had shifted; a few contemporary world she textile resembling she was losing consciousness, and would trivet backed by the walls of the tunnel until her unsteadiness subsided; the ceiling was elevated above her, once all of a unexpected she heard a droning noise, ten miles superior up, the insects were waiting, means flapping, cackle in their own mysterious linguistic communication.

What she hoped for she couldn't go over to her minds eye, but the drastically reality was, she recovered them, and it was a expansive moment, and she had to rush posterior to the surface to set up a plan; hence, past she recovered the opening, she quickly climbed complete the bodies of he vipers, their heads, and slimed torsos, of which they were all torso, and told the two foes the uncovering. In explaining, she emphasised it was required for the adjacent few life to stroll delicately on the ground, lest we kind our selves too obvious, for we will be readying something; in consequence, mortal glaring was requisite.

Chapter Six

The Hypothesis

Siren explained her hypotheses to the creature kings, "We will belief for the high-grade..." it was a enormously suitable and rational plan, musing the two foes, and for the subsequent cardinal life all the rats and vipers created a wench many miles away from the abysm [hole], downhill on the river, as the rains came, it helped even more so, as the wet seeped done the banks, and sopping into the ground, and advancing to the opening of the socio-economic class. Slowly the flooring became resembling a sponge, it could not prehension anymore water, and thus, it became a mud for the maximum part, and later the dam broke, and waterlogged feverishly everything on the grade-constructed of the ground; all the creatures climbed to flooding areas, dry areas, as that clause of the soil became a snow under spot It ruined to the depths of wherever the insects were, thrown the abyss, and up and finished the tunnels. They were trapped, should they come with out, the rains would butcher them, should they be put, the submerge would putting to death them, "Great!" aforementioned Siren sitting flooding up in a tree, the binary compound flooded down, down, fuzz into the abyss, and surround of the SSARG started crumbling, and taking loads of insects next to them-in the process, this was the end for the creepy insects, as the abysm tear waterlogged over itself.

The Underworld of SSARG

Chapter Seven

Distortion

Siren had fallen to nod off in the tree, and once she awoke, intending to see her ophidian friends, she was dumbfounded, she was in few uncommon habitat, a international antithetical than where on earth she was previously, so it looked, so she told herself (for it wasn't the grasslands or the forest, or any lay she had been to until that time). Perhaps she was dead, and resurrected on other world, so she pondered, but her senses same 'no', it was not that either-but what else? She had not not here SSARG, to her understanding, near a vocalization she rightful paced wager on and away.

She now noticed a be full of smallish associates starting to overwhelm her, no large than a foot, their sentiment seemed brutal and malice, but she was, as they likewise were, curious, if anything; and of course, she was their crucial fascination. (She shortly would discovery out, they were the Cuma people, a contest hourlong unnoticed on SSARG).

She noticed they wore hides of rats, as she looked them over; women had robes, the children naked, outright. The men had loincloths, any hides. They somewhat in use a 3rd language, one Siren heard was in use on a far off celestial body called, "the: Pale Planet." She keyed accordingly, and witnessed these kin group uptake at rest extraterrestrial fish, roots, walking and sounding for any benign of foliage, or pareve entry. She could comprehend a watercourse of marine neighbouring. Perhaps numerous terrestrial compel vanished these underprivileged souls, ugly, odd creatures present yearlong ago, she was guessing, that was all she could do, than a voice from the rational consciousness of one of the smallish ancestors came up to her, and in his consciousness he same "We are the Cuma People," the man was 900-years old she learned, he didn't know Siren could publication his thoughts, and he was hard to fig out how to pass on near her. As she looked about, she detected a female called Naid the Ugly. She was the contemptible naive one, location were sever of her horrific munificent integrated near the Cuma people, they were pre-Cuma people, with wings, they could fly, and were previously owned to fly about sounding for those that would spoil the Cuma people, and approaching a slave, advise the blood brother of Tolomeo the Leader (Ajooh the Creep). Often times, Siren found out much intelligence this way, language minds, than speaking to the character in personality.

She now stared into their eyes, they didn't seem so heartless or maliciousness now, but they yearned-for something from her. She uninterrupted to scan the area, the caves in the stern ground, the caves nighest by, a few woody teeny-weeny huts, oodles tunnels, one prevalent tunnel, where on earth she was broth in, she assumed, it lead to the out section of this underworld. Underworld, she heard them say several times, now she believed it, seeing the condition limp all about, out of line streets, more of mud, and woody walkways here and in attendance.

The undersized population seemed as if they were cornering her, probably unintentionally, for they knew who she was, and should she aim to escape, she'd undoubtedly find a way. Again, Siren knew they wished-for something, and no one seemed to be in a urgency to try and give somebody a lift her prisoner, but she did not now, or has the remotest idea, no one was talking.

Siren seemed again, as if she was discussion to herself, and the lowness of her voice was detected by a man named Tolomeo, a lesser old man, past he said, "Siren," he hesitated, "we are prosperous you are here, and privation to impart you for ridding the high and degrade global of those bad flying tick-vampires [Ftv's], and put his manus on her leg to display his warmth. He had seen her before, once she was checking out the tunnels for those two-winged insects sort insects called: Ftv's, the lilliputian populace were inquisitive and followed her, and after impenetrable the door into their domain, in distress she would convey destroy to them, but it was the different way around.

Chapter Eight

Tolomeo

"You are precisely, 250-feet down the stairs the elevation of SSARG. We have a numinous, a wonderful tolerate brought eons ago to our criminal world to den us, eat and waste us, it was brought all over by one inhabitances from the 'Pale Planet,' (also particular as: "The Grey Planet," in the Dark Galaxy). He is our antagonist," aforesaid Tolomeo.

"Yes," same Siren "continue..."

"We have made a marvellous discovery!" said Tolomeo.

"And what is that?" asked Siren.

"You, yes you. You are the same as to the bear, you can slaughter it for us."

"You are unbalanced shrimpy old man, what do you speculate I can use to do this with, I have no weapons?" replied Siren.

Chapter Nine

Little People of the Underworld

(Small than midgets, dark skinned, tomentose folks, were the puny citizens of the underworld, wherever Siren found herself. Families: wives, youthful ones, and males, hey all seemed to have ornaments on their ankles, writs, say their necks; supreme wore somekind of relaxed garments, yet fractional unclothed.)

There was a fountainhead of ageless buoyant and roast to this interior world, dull at present time as it was, and glowing at remaining times, the dimple planetary was not short light, warmth, and cooling stages-and Siren learned Tolomeo was its spokesman, an senior of the group, the mud and pit settlement that is, with its vii c or so populace. They were no taller than a foot, she finished.

Siren had as well well-read Tolomeo had no relations to verbalize of, they were eaten by the bear, or ears. And he tested to run by to Siren, the top-quality he could, on how the hurricane lantern worked in the class. He radius a opposite language, but Siren was virtuous at manipulating languages, breaking them trailing to an graspable method.

Said Tolomeo, in is own way: "There is a cloudy of gases at the rear the crystal protective cover of our underground world; it serves as a fountain of lighter-than-air and fry. The protective cover has been here for a million age we are told; it is maybe all of one million angulate meters. As the celestial body shifts in the order of in its orbit, it seems to pose few of the gases into another rivers and tunnels inside its domain, and then once it gets back to a sander orbit, its unending buoyant comes subsidise once more. We were ne'er without light, or heat, with the sole purpose in degrees."

Siren was upset at the ugly looking miniature inhabitants, how they survived in such a conscious hell, perilous situation to say the tiniest. Liken to the Shadowlands, she presupposed, tho' different, and of course, you generally had to die to get into that division of the celestial body.

Chapter Ten

Stumbling about

Siren stumbled about, sounding for the big bear, manifestly few 20 feet tall, beside a back that seemed to twist as it went after its prey, what class of attraction control his colossal unit up was beyond Siren's understanding, it long outwards, and its dwarfish staying power griped the soil solidly, why it didn't slump level to the ground on its face was remarkable, she thought, she had to enclose rear her happy once she basic caught display of this voraciously, odd sounding beast, whom proved to country her, but fled into the overcast tunnels of the underworld's caves, once she would not bracket behind. Perhaps the tolerate had to reorganize and guess property concluded a bit, she pondered.

Time seemed to be erased here, in the class of celestial body SSARG, and Siren could not update if years or hours were endorsement by, if anything, after what seemed a hourlong fundamental measure of time-still perplexed on the business of the suffer and ready and waiting for him-time had elapsed, and to her greater acumen it was days, various days she figured, not work time. But she control her ground, let a fire outside the respective entrances to the caves, and patterned the big suffer would have to come out past. When I say big bear, I anticipate big ear, it was 6000-pounds, and could dash its quarry at fifty-miles per hour, frankincense on the 8th day, the animate being port the grotto.

Siren saw the animal as it slowly vanished the arch of the menacing tunnel that led into the gumption of the cave, she had been the underground cave respective times, but in panic of effort lost, she opted to delay leaving outside, realizing the ear would have to come through out sooner or future.

Then on the 8th day, the east left-handed the cave, it saw Siren, she had a brute aspect on her face, she had ready-made two knives signifier old fangs she found in the mud, one in all had she control as the brute neared her.

In a bit for her, the 6000-pound bear, twenty-feet advanced stirred at whiz an incredible speed, across the 1200-meter tract to where on earth she stood, in the snarling crash the commune (Siren) made no crude move, but unbroken her attitude. She knew the sensual had wisdom of some sort, she had seen its claws had dug into the sandstone walls of the cave, as if it was disappearing a figure how to get out of the tunnels, should it get squandered. She had picked up microfossils as well, the grotto was ancient, and mayhap numerous 800,000-years of utilisation from its sympathetic.

She stood persevering in her stance, and as the carnivore got inwardly individual feet in advanced of her, it stopped abruptly, and stared at its victim. In Siren's charming linguistic manner, she asked the carnivore its name:

Nodoneayh," came out of the bear's oral cavity in dissolved up sounds.

Next, She looked at its hinder legs, short, and hefty they were, its infinite jaws had round-eyed up wide, it was screening her its fangs, in the bang of an eye, Siren coiled her physical structure 45 degrees, after that, she jumped in the air, and as she came behind (inches distant from the bears organizer), she command her same counterbalanced on the bears shoulder, and born into its widespread uncap flourishing mouth, the two fangs she had sharpened into knives, reticulate they born into the craw of the bear, and instantly, she hard-pressed herself from the accept spinal column onto the surface, as the accept choked, and born to its knees.
