As Gunther carefully approached the rock, he could hear the rock sizzle and crack from the pressure and heat. He looked aound and noticed there was a gapeing hole in its side, big enough for a small creatu child to squeeze in. HHe did his best to peer inside but the hole was dark and dusty. He could'nt possibly hope to see anything within the rock.
Gunther looked upand re*censored*ured Zasha that he was ok by waving a paw at her. She was happy to sse that he was ok. Zasha carefully waved back. Suddenly she noticed a shadowy reach behind Gunther,protruding from the crater it seemed.
"GUNTHER WATCH OUT!"Zasha screamed. It was too late. The shadow snatched him up. "Guuunnnn-thhhheeerrrr!"shecalled out as she flapped her sweet wings in the air twards the rock. As she approched the rock cracked even further, spitting it in half.
Zasha stopped in her place when she heard something that sounded like Gunther coughing. She tipped her pretty little head to the side and perked her ears tward the sound. She heard to voices talking and coughing.
The dust from the rock slowly unfurled and cleared away. Zasha could now see two figured shapes. She instntly recognized one as her friend, Gunther, but what was that other weird shaped creatu? The smoke cleared and drifted away completely now. Zasha flitted down the Gunthers side and stared at the other being.
Her eyes filled with confusion and her throat clogged with unsaid questions. After waiting a while shefinally asked what she felt was most important. "Wh....What are you?"she uttered.
The opposite creatu tilted its head andcleared its throat. By the way it did it revealed to Zasha that it was a boy. Zasha wondered if Gunther, who was right next to her, knew what it was. "I..I..am..an uldavian...I-vik."the odd creatu struggled to say.
