Also gimme a sentence~ I need to continue~
I left for the adjacent island to do some exploring, and to find a source of food, if the portal were to shut down again, perhaps even for days on end, keeping acces to the real world impossible. It was more heavily forested than the main island, and there was still a grecamo wandering around. However, it didn’t notice me and just kept on wandering. I then went over towards the back edge of the island, and heard a grunt. Then I heard another grunt.
I looked up and there was a pack of about twenty or so things that looked like a cross between pigs and aardvarks. All they were doing was standing idly. They were on the back of that island, just snorting and grunting, generally doing nothing. Then, something from behind the creatures came out and started squawking at everything. I followed all the animals, and they led me to a cave system where I saw in large abundance random pigs and such walking around in the cave. There were also roots from trees growing above, with some mushrooms on the floor, one of them even glowing.
I tried killing one of the pigs from above, and it dropped a whole bunch of meat. I tried to put the meat down, but my inventory wouldn’t let me eat or even place the meat. I left the island for the normal area, and went into the portal back into the normal world, with all my stuff. Also, there were 20 cats just hanging around talking about the skyland. Apparently Redilill had made the skyland much more popular, in its premature stage. Then I went back to my room to see Reyyot listening to music from my nIpod.
“Reyyot, what are you doing in my bedroom? More importantly, what are you doing streaming my music?” I asked in semi-rage.
“Oh, I’m just listening to my music off your nipod.” Reyyot responded.
“Why are you using my nipod?” I asked.
“I don’t have one, and I love music.” Reyyot responded.
“Well, then why do you have such a big house?” I asked.
“Because I like it.” Reyyot said.
I left my bedroom and headed for Redilill’s. hopefully I could find something to raid in there, and then use it in the skyland. I entered Redilill’s bedroom, which was a mess for some reason. Skimming through his drawers, I found a good bit of small gold pieces. I took a couple, then ran away with about two thousand redins worth of gold. Stocking them in my even-growing gold pile about one hundred feet from the skyland, I saw that Redilill was still in there, making another small shack, but this one was dark inside.
Entering the skyland again, I took out my obsidian tool and started to dig, and dig, and dig until the inside was about two feet high and there was a small connection between the two small homes. I also added a small bit of cloth to the main home that had two floors, and created a small area with glass bits I found around the outside, making an area where monsters couldn’t get in during the night.
Just then, I heard a huge, loud sound above me that sounded like a cerenatorid. Redilill and I both looked up, and sure enough, above us, was a larger cerenatorid about sixty feet across. It went over to a nearby island and started diving for fish in the ocean below. We watched it for about ten minutes, until finally, coming out of the trance, finished building the small houses.
Walking outside, I smelled a foul scent in the air. I assumed that it was a cerenatorid, but then a small grecamo showed up and it was trying to come inside. I hit it at its feet, and it dropped several gunpowder orbs, and I collected them for later use. Then, creating a larger house with windows, we started and made the lower part of the frame. The roof literally arrived several hours later at midday, and we covered the roof with glass. Redilill then took to making windows, and I took to making the second floor of the house.
Once everything for surviving a night was done, I went over to the island with a cave system and went down into it, and saw a fresh gleaming ore in the wall. With its shininess, it was just tempting me to grab it. I grabbed it, and then the wall collapsed with me in the middle of the rock pile. I ran out from under the falling rocks, and my tail got bent from the rocks hitting my tail.
I hurriedly left the cave system to see two cerenatorids fighting for a drink at the infinite lake. I watched them battle it out as one hit the other with tentacle-thing after tentacle-thing, until the larger one pushed away the smaller one, and began drinking until it was bloated, which took a grand total of fifteen minutes, surprisingly. Then, the large one left to let the small one drink and the small one drank for ten minutes, which was equally surprising.
All of this led to me eventually getting one, with three hosues in the skyland due to the magical (and extremely helpful) inventories. I decided to see what would happen during the night with the monsters, and Redilill and Ililill soon left for a safer night’s sleep. I watched until about 9PM skyland time, and then a grecamo popped up outside the house. It took a while, but I gathered the courage to go outside, and I smacked a couple grecamos and collected gunpowder orbs from each.
Then, two exapartas should up at almost the exact same time, and I ran back into my house. They just wandered around for about half an hour, and then I went back out to try and defeat an exaparta. The first one began by trying to bite my ankle, and I ran up onto its body. Then, smacking its back, I went up towards the top, and it was killed. I collected what it drops, which apparently is not a gunpowder orb, but a “dino egg”. I collected that, and then did the exact same with the other exaparta, and I had two dinosaur eggs in my inventory.
After the whole night was done, I had a total of ten gunpowder orbs, three eggs, some milk from something, and a bucket. I left the small house for the portal to go sleep, just as I heard a grunt. It was another one of those packs of pig aardvark things, and they were staring at me. Even the piglets were staring at me, until I followed them. They took me to that exact same cave in the area, with about thirty or so of them running around. I walked into the cave a little deeper this time, and I saw many more mushrooms than I would ever need.
I saw several piglets being taken care of, and they were all just lazily sleeping or doing something else. Some of them were eating, or drinking, or venturing out for more food. I didn’t quite understand which were their enemies, but it seemed like it wasn’t something that could pop up at night or in dark caves, since this cave had no light at all.
Then, I left to go tell Redilill and Ililill, and something incredibly unexpected happened. Reyyot was making a small flat area with an obsidian tool.
“Why do you have an obsidian tool?” I asked.
“I found it in the caves over there.” Reyyot responded.
“Do you know who left it there, or anything?” I said.
“No, but it works like magic. What’s it made of?” Reyyot asked.
I answered, “Obsidian.”
“What is obsidian?” she asked.
“It’s a rough and sharp rock usually used to make tools in the real world.” I responded.
Just then, as we were talking about obsidian and such, Miki showed up. She started this time by screaming, as she usually did, and then she curved below the island, and made a cave system leading from the top to the bottom, which was several thousand feet. I looked over, and there was an entrance into the cave system.
“Thine houses shall not stop my wrath.” Miki said into our minds.
“So you speak in Middle English?” I asked.
“No, I do not. I speak in the father tongue of England.” Miki said.
Miki then left us with the huge cave system to explore, probably one of the ways to make the skyland more dangerous. I headed into the cave system as the very first thing to do. I kept descending until I saw land below, and it was a breathtaking sight, except for the shadow the skyland was producing. It was water, and I had the distinct urge to go down there, and find what the rest of the world was like. However, I didn’t want to not be able to get to the main home again, so I resisted the urge and went to explore a new island.
I leapt up through the area, and finally scratched onto the surface, where Reyyot was digging an underground home that was far roomier than the other ones. I went inside, and started helping Reyyot.
“Why are you digging that way? That’s towards the cave system that the huge thing just created.” Reyyot said.
“Oh.” I responded and dug another room, and Reyyot dug two rooms. I also started furnishing it after I had gone back to get wool from my wool collection. Once I had done furnishing my bedroom, I started asking Reyyot a bunch of questions. Below are the answers from those questions.
Reyyot’s first answer was surprsing. “As far as I can see, the skyland streches in all directions except for backwards from the portal.”
The second answer was even weirder. “A bunch of the tree types are unique to up here.”
After that, the answeres got even stranger. “I know so much because I was here for a solid two days.” “I’ve been on at least seven of the islands.”
The fifth answer was a long one. “Yes, the skyland deos move around. I went to sleep on the second night, and then I woke up and there was a mountain range behind me.”
“On the first night, some unexpected troopers showed up. There were about one hundred of them, all of them following me. In the morning, they burnt and a heap of weak tools lay on the ground.”
“I collected all the tools, and they’re now in my storage bin inside my house, but oddly one of them gave an obsidian tool for his life.”
“I think that they liked me, and that they wanted to give me something or talk to me.”
“What did those things look like?” I asked.
“They looked vagely human, but they had a green fading outfit, and they looked kind of like a person.” Reyyot said.
“So what do you think they were?” I asked, interested.
“I think that they were a person that was sent up to the skyland for eternity.” Reyyot responded, intriguing me even more than before.
“Also, there is a weird pig species that lives mostly in caves and seemingly live off of mushrooms, and I’ve vistied then many times.” I replied.
“I’ve never seen them. Care to take me to see these mysterious pig creatures?” Reyyot asked.
“Sure, I’ll take you.” I said.
I left off for the nearby heavily forested island, where the pigs lived. She was right on my heel, just following as close as a baby duck would its mother. Once we got there, she headed straight for where there was light glowing inside the cave, to investigate. I also followed her, even though they were just bioluminescent mushrooms emitting light in the dark cave. I went through a maze of passages, each one more lit by mushrooms than the last. Finally I came to a cave that had full illumination from just mushrooms. It was a startling ending, because there was also a small hole about one half of a foot across that would lead to certain doom in there.
Climbing back up, in the general direction that it seems that Reyyot went, I finally met up with her in a tunnel moderately lit by mushrooms, where there were baby pigs being fed, and many more piglets sleeping under the low roof. At the end, there was also a mother pig sitting on what seemed to be eggs, which was quite peculiar. I had a sudden rush of urge to go meet with the mother pig and steal several of her eggs, but I decided it was better to make friends with these strange animals.
Exiting the cave towards the outside world, I find it to be almost too bright to handle, even with the shade of the forest and the bioluminescent mushrooms inside. There were several grecamos on the island, which I snipped at the feet to kill them, and they weren’t that much of a threat anymore anyways. I also went through the portal to show Ililill the new animals and also to tell him about it.
“Hey, Ill, I found a cave that has a bunch of animals in it that look like a cross between a pig and an aardvark. I think if we can tame them from their wild ways, they might be a food source in two ways since they lay eggs.” I began the conversation.
“What are you calling them?” Ililill asked me.
“I’m calling them paardvarks, since they look like a cross between a pig and an aardvark.” I replied.
“Also, did you find any grasses that are chewable and can help me eat stuff like that?” Ililill asked.
“No, but the pig is a big first step. I’m also very tired since I was awake the entire night watching nasty creatures be born and die within a night.” I said.
“Why were you doing that?” Ililill asked me, weirded out.
“To see what kinds of animals there are.” I replied.
I then left and did the exact same thing with Reyyot with the pigs and everything. But this time, I followed Ililill since he would probably explore the darkest caverns looking for some monsters. Ililill first turned by heading towards the left, instead of the right, which lead to the mushrooms. However, there were still paardvarks down here, and they were looking like they were quite content, even in the pitch blackness. There was a low groan, and emerging from the darkness was not a monster, but a paardvark. He seemed to be heading out to find grass, since the area just outside the cave was full of grass.
Ililill then turned away from the majority of the paardvarks, and headed into a cavern that looked dimly lit by bioluminescent mushrooms. They were in small patches, but these ones were far weeaker than the mushrooms on the right side of the cavern. I also saw about twenty of its closest friends, all hanging out around a hole, trying to push one of them in. the only problem with their activity is that the paardvarks are too large to fit through the holes. Also, I noticed a large absence of baby paardvarks. I think that they needed to grow in light, so they were all on the right side of the cavern.
Also there was another game going on, where there were ten pigs contesting each other to roll down a mild slope in the cavern. I knew which one would win, because he looked the heaviest, and was on the steepest part. We ourselves followed behind them, and found two choices for going into. We took the right path, to see if the side connect. I found that they did, just barely, and I looked at the hole in the other cavern for what must have been about ten minutes, which is an absurdly long time.
Finding myself without Ililill again, I ran straight across to the left side of the cavern, where Ililill found the first monster in this labyrinth, and has killed it. From afar, he seemed to be celebrating the kill, and was being a rather tricky fellow. I then approached him, and there was a piece of fire ahead. I touched it, but did not get singed or anything at all. Then, four exapartas appeared. They were all heading towards Ililill, signaling Ililill to run. However, I came up behind them and got two of them to follow me. I somehow managed to leap onto the first ones back, and also somehow killed it. I congradulated myself, and did the same for the other one, and left the room.
After several minutes of doing the exact same thing over and over, I heard a squeaking sound. It sounded like a mouse or a squeaky toy. There were several mice nearby. I slid through a small opening, swishing my tail back and forth, and swatted at the mouse. Then, the mouse scrambled up the wall, and I pounced after him.
“Hey, Ililill, there’s a mouse over here!” I exclaimed.
There was no response. I waited for what seemed like forever, until he finally showed up. He was very excited that there were mice in the skyland, since he loves pouncing down mice and sometimes playing with them.
“You found some mice in the skyland?” Ililill asked. “That’s awesome! I love mice.”
Ililill then proceeded to play with the mice. He first began by pouncing the first mouse, which then ran away. Ililill followed the mouse with a longing stare, then pounced and killed it. There were still six mice left. I kept sitting there, just swishing my tail.
I then pounced on a mouse, with my tail swishing. I started meowing, and Ililill took away the mouse to put in the toy pile in the house up above.
