What? Are you really going to go along with Katie and Hairgrazer into the woods in the dark to look for Bart and his gang and the rustled herd of Hairgrazers?
What? You really are? You nod at Katie!
"In."
"Well, alright, what're y'all standin' around for?" Katie and Hairgrazer start walking further into the woods.
"Ram-ram!" What? It seems like Ramster is a little scared of the woods? Maybe he's not as tough as he looks!
What? You feel like <span class="mu-r">something</span> is watching you from the trees?
You hurry to catch up with Katie!
"Pa doesn't like it when I play in these woods, but a few weeks ago I found <span class="mu-r">an old campfire</span> that they made. I knew it must have been them because there were Platyvult feathers everywhere!"
Katie holds <span class="mu-r">the lantern</span> up and turns a knob. What? Katie just put out the lantern? You can hardly see anything until your eyes adjust to the dark!
"Hairgrazer will lead us the rest of the way! Go on, now!" Katie nudges Hairgrazer. Hairgrazer starts sniffing around and then starts walking forward again! It looks like he might know where he's going!
What? You feel like <span class="mu-r">something</span> is watching you from the trees again?
You look around! Katie and Hairgrazer stop and Katie looks at you. "What's the matter, Mashi?"
"Ram-ram!" What? Ramster seems to see something! He's pointing at one of the trees! You look up and try to see what he's pointing at.
What? It's a mon that looks like a small white bird with a zigzag stripe? You're pretty sure that's a Buzzird! Why do you suppose it's watching you?
The Buzzird sees you looking at it and flies away! When it does, the zigzag stripe of its wings cuts through the branch it was on! You see why it's called a Buzzird!
You look at Katie!
"Buzzird!"
"Forget about that Buzzird, come on! The campfire is just over this hill!" Katie and Hairgrazer slowly creep up to the top of the hill!
What? There really is <span class="mu-r">a campfire</span> on the other side of the hill? You can see the two men and their mons sitting close to it!
The men don't know you can hear them!
"Bart is gonna be back from Copper Citadel any moment!"
"How are we gonna tell him we lost <span class="mu-r">the entire herd of Hairgrazers</span>?"
"If only we could get them out of <span class="mu-r">that cave</span>!"
You look at Katie! What? Katie has a strange expression on her face? Katie whispers "I know the cave they're talking about! Come on, let's go!"
You and Katie stand up and turn around, but in front of you is a tall human man with that Buzzird on his shoulder!
"Bart!"
"We didn't know you was back in town!"
What? This man is Bart? He looks at you and Katie and says "A little mon told me there were some kids nosing around." Bart reaches out a hand to grab you!
"Watch out, Bart! That's the kid..."
[SFX: biting noise]
"...that bit me."
Katie and Hairgrazer start running past the campfire! "Come on, Mashi! This way!"
