The clerk behind the desk looked at him with surprise as he ran up the stairway bursting into the little motel room. She lay in bed looking very pale. Nicholas sitting in a chair beside her half asleep awoke as the Pineappleman burst into the room. "How is she?" The Pineappleman asked. Nicholas "All strength has left her---Did you find it?" The Pineappleman pulled the canteen out. He knelt beside her lifting her head --opening her lips as she awoke gasping for air and poured the green fluid into her mouth

He was on his own trudging back to the village where she lay slowing fading away from the mysterious ailment. He had brought her there in search of this mysterious myth of the healing stones that lay within the Dark Cavern that was guarded by evil spirits. . He hadn't found any stone—nor any evil spirits.

With blood dripping from his lips he shrieked right back at the Creatures holding his Machete out in front of him ---covered in green ooze. The Pineappleman was not going to die quietly he moved toward the Creatures --surprised by this they backed away. He pushed his advantage backing them up until only one Creature remained in front of him the other 2 moving to the side. He ran at the Creature catching it off guard thrusting the Machete into its chest sending a fountain of Green Ooze splattering over the rocks. The other two Creatures shrieked at him again. One of the Creatures moved to attack him but the other one held him back shaking his head. He glanced back with a snarl and then turning his back to them headed for the exit to the cave. They watched in silence as The Pineappleman confidently strutted out of the cave and into the sunlight.

A momentary flash of relief was quickly ruined when he saw Four figures silhouetted against the background of daylight. And then those figures were running towards him --disappearing back into the darkness of the cave. He held his machete in front of him as the crazed Creatures came steaming at him at a full run

Dark Cavern Continued

From Tocs Eloc—Tribal Legend -translation of verbal telling by Cire Darb He backed away from the ledge and began to make his way up the pathway in through the pathway of twisted rocks. His eyes darted back and forth searching the disturbingly lit surroundings. He visually scanned every rock and ever crevice in the walls as he made his way back towards the surface. The sudden disappearance of the Creatures that followed him left him on edge and extremely jumpy. These Creatures lived in this dark cave environment and surely knew alternate pathways --they could be hiding places from which to ambush him. He stopped to listen for any movement --but only heard silence and the sounds of dripping water working its way down towards the pool that easily could have been his grave.
