Phantom Shadow[Ch.4]
Chapter 4
Whitey Plan involved all of the forest’s animals, and everyone had a job to do, including the trees, who decided to help. Though they had some reservations, they moved forward, putting their faith in Whitey and Leo’s foresight.
Approaching their camp in the stillness of the night. They slept in their tent, blissfully asleep. Leo began to flicker the crystal lights as Peter (fox) and Casey (goldfish) circled their camp, leaving trail of fire in their wake. The Shroomucks stuck close to Maddy (the squirrel) and listened to the mushrooms’ queue. It was Go Time!
To attract their attention, the deeyotes started barking. The remaining animals followed suit, encircling their camp.
The sight of smoke and fire rising from their camp startled the poachers as they awoke.
As the shroomuck conversed with Maddy, the trees began to sway voluntarily. Maddy then zapped a tree with a thudding sound.
And then another…
With startled eyes and bewilderment, the poachers began to look around for any possible escape.
I’m out, this ant worth it! This place is crazy! –One poacher started to run
No, don’t run its just a trick! –The ring leader announced He pulls his revolver from its holster.
But then there was a boom, lightning flashes, and trees that were three feet away started to sparkle. The poachers abandoned their leader and bolted.
The leader pursued them in an attempt to persuade them to return, but he fell as a result of the flickering crystals, smoke, and lighting. Whitey jumped on him, hissing at him. However, he did not see Whitey, but rather an apparition in the shape of a unicorn.
He was stunned and began to feel ashamed of what he and his gang had done.
Never return to these woods, Whitey meowed at the top of her lungs.
Don’t worry, I won’t! –lead poacher
He got up and ran and did not look back.
The forest creatures were overjoyed with their triumph. Whitey was relieved that no woodland animals had been wounded. She was, however, saddened by the elderly trees that had sacrificed themselves. Her ability to assist plants was limited.
However, Peter made rounds to each dying tree, watching its remains fade away.
Maddy, deeyotes, and shroomucks shrieked loudly to summon the slugs in packs. They all came.
Each beautiful in it’s own way
The slugs left sticky trails everywhere they went, but these pathways promoted new growth. They would take small amounts of the seeds and gradually plant them wherever they went.
– Until next time!
