Palloa's Adventure, Part IV
"We can't possibly go back there!" Palloa said.
"We can find food then!" Libymon replied.
"Right," said Palloa.
"Keep and eye out for berries."
In an hours time, the two unis were very hungry. There was no food to be found. Suddenly they heard wingbeats from above. A scorchio flew down.
"Hi!" He said. "I'm Rulg. Does this belong to you?"
He held up the supplies bag!
"It does!" Palloa exclaimed. "Where did you get it?"
"My Uncle Stok brought it home," Rulg said. "He said it was left behind by some unis on the skeith's trail."
"We're trying to save Neopia!" Libymon said. "Is there a way you can help us free the Neopets?"
"Well..." Rulg said. "I'm supposed to be helping the Skeiths, but I guess I can help you!"
Rulg flew up high for a minute and then came back down.
"About fifteen minutes away is a fork in the road. Take the right path and it will take you to the skeith's camp where the captives are."
"Thank you so much!" Palloa said.
Just then, they heard a voice calling.
"Rulg! Rulg! Come here!" called the voice.
"That's my Aunt Toota." Rulg explained. "Gotta go! Bye!"
"Bye!" The two unis called after him.
After a quick lunch, Palloa and Libymon started out. They followed Rulg's directions and soon came upon the skeith's camp. Tied to a pole was a young jubjub. Three skeiths were trying to force it to answer questions.
"Where is Skeeter?" One yelled.
"I'm not giving my friends away!" The jubjub cried. "No matter what you do!"
"That's the korbat we talked to!" Palloa whispered.
She turned around. Libymon was gone! She began frantically searching. Where was Libymon? Soon, a small scorchio scout entered the camp. A large skeith approached.
"Make your report Firg!"
"Toota and her band have caught a yellow Uni!" Firg said nervously."They have found evidence of another Uni in the woods!"
"Well done Firg!" The skeith said.
"Attention everyone! Search the surrounding woods for a Uni!"
Then he added to Firg, "Tell Toota to come in!"
Libymon was brought into the camp. Skeiths began questioning her. Suddenly, a net was thrown over Palloa!
What will Palloa and Libymon do?
How will they rescue the captives if they are captives themselves?
