Ficool

Chapter 21 - New trials

Weeks have gone by, and the group is still pushing for a destination they don't know. Finally, as the winds pick up, Miro starts to slow down ahead of the groups. "Okay, everyone, we can rest for a bit." Everyone was exhausted from the trip. Dra, behind Miro, popped her head around Miro's shoulders and went latched on Miro's ear. In a child-like manner, Dra was tugging at Miro's ear. Feeling annoyed, Miro tries to shake Dra off, but she wouldn't let go. Then Axle came from behind and asked Dra to behave, but she wouldn't listen. "Come on, Dra, let go of Mr.Miro's ear."

Miro started to get angry with Dra. "let go of me, Dra; your teeth are starting to go through my ear." In response, Dra hops on Miro's back and tugs even harder.

Miro started to growl, but then he felt teeth begin to loosen their grip, and finally, Dra jumped off Miro's back and sat in front of him while wagging her tail. "Okay, you two, can we all get along?" coming from the back was Mira. "Well, if the fox would stop trying to tear my ears every hour, I wouldn't complain much," growled Miro. Then, without listening, Mira chirps and guides her way toward Dra.

"Is Mister Miro being mean again, miss Dra?" with a playful tone. Dra jumped around and leaped on Mira and rubbed her nozzle to Mira's. Both Axle and Miro shake their heads with a bit of a smile. The group started walking, and then everyone heard a growling noise. Still walking, the growling got louder until Mira yelled for Miro. The group stops, and Miro turns around and sees that Mira's legs are shaking looks behind her and sees that Both Axle and Dra are. Without realizing Miro forgot the last time, anyone have eaten. "let's find something to eat." Miro looks at Mira and wonders why she hasn't eaten anything on the way. "Mister Miro, I'm not that hungry," but her stomach said otherwise. Then he looked at Axle and Dra. "Axle, come with me, and Dra stays with Mira." Axle leads Dra to Mira and rubs Dra's cheek with his paw "you listen to Miss Mira Dra, I'll be back." So Axle and Miro left.

A few minutes have passed, Miro is wondering what to feed one ewe and two foxes. Without paying attention, Miro Runs into a tree, and Axle starts to laugh but stops and sees a berry bush. Collecting his thoughts and walks toward Axle. "Berries, I thought you were a fox, not a rabbit." Axle started gathering berries in his mouth to take back to Dra and Mira in the confusion of the question. "Dra and I always eat berries when there's nothing around to hunt, but I like berries more than eating rabbit any day." So, with a confused look on Miro's face, he helped gather berries from the bush.

Some time passed, and Axle and Miro returned to the others. Dra was flopping Mira's ears up and down and tugging at them as well until she saw Axle, and then she started making a weird sound towards him, which he knows too well. "Yes, Dra, I have returned but with some treats." Axle opened his mouth, and berries fell to the floor. Dra went up to it and smelled. Instead of a cheering noise, she began to whine a bit. "Eat up, Dra, so you will have the energy to continue our travels." But Dra started pouting, then turned around and flicked the berries with her tail away. In annoyance, Axle asks Dra nicely to eat her food, but she refuses. Miro was coming from behind and saw that Axle was arguing with Dra. He went straight towards Mira. "I don't know what their deal is, but I have brought you something for you to eat." Miro lowers his head and drops the berries in front of Mira. "Oh, mister Miro you shouldn't have." Without hesitation, she gulps the berries and swallows.

Mira smiles and walks towards Miro, licks his cheek, and walks towards Axle and Dra. However, as Mira walks toward them, she becomes dizzy, and a few more steps later, she collapses. The others saw this and rushed towards Mira, wondering what was wrong. While Mira was on the ground, she started spiting up the berries, and green gunk came out as well. In a panic, Miro was circling Mira wondering what to do. "Mister Miro, what's happening to Mira?" shouted Axle " I don't know; she just fell suddenly." Dra started to whimper and rub her cheek to Mira's.

The group was in a panic, wondering what was wrong with Mira. Then Dra started pasting back and forth, and suddenly she leaped up and pounced on Mira's stomach, which made her vomit up everything she had last eaten. Miro was about to get onto Dra for doing that, but Mira finally stopped vomiting because of her doing so. During the commotion, Mira fainted and was in a deep sleep. Mira's mind was in complete darkness, Mira didn't know what was going on, but she knew she needed to get away. She yells but only echoes. Mira calls out once more, then someone responds. "Why is a puny thing like yourself doing in a place like this?" Not knowing what the stranger was talking about, Mira began chirping, and each chirp gave a visual of the surrounding area. Each time Mira makes the sound, she sees a figure pops up and start walking toward her, and each step she hears is cracking and growling. Mira panics and tries to run away from the figure, thinking it will attack her. Instead, Mira ran and kept running forward, not knowing what was in front of her. Mira ran for quite a while. Finally, Mira stops to rest; not knowing where she is, she chirps, and the figure she is running away from is standing in front of her.
