Submisions: Solo investagation

Prompt #3 "Ask the Locals. The swamp’s residents probably know something, right? But as you start asking around, you realize that some of their voices sound… familiar? It might be your imagination, but it sounds a lot like the crying coming from the monster. Draw or write your character inquiring with the locals, and perhaps making a connection."

 

This is so not normal, this is not normal, right? Right!? There's no way this is normal. Maybe it was a coincidence, at least the first time, maybe the second time too. But, the third time? Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, fool me thrice? Somethings weird and trying to determine if your ears are playing tricks on you or if the people sounding like the crying monster of trash are actually connected or not.

 

This world was supposed to be comforting, the swamps we're calming last time, this is not normal. "Uhm, excuse me?" Aza was starting to get hesitant about asking around at this point in time, unsure as to why. Hesitating to make connections, maybe out of fear maybe because of something else. But still... "Ah- Nevermind, sorry sir have a nice day!" turning around and running has started to feel like a better approch. Maybe searching the swamps again would be a better idea.

 

Exploring alone again likely isn't a good idea, especially considering the swamps tend to get deeper unexpectedly the further in you go. Aza hadn't had much of a chance to really explore all that well before. Maybe, it would be a better idea to bring someone along, yeah! That would be a better idea, the thing is. Who? He knows he can't just drop back into Temeraire and bring one of his friends from home along, he'd have to explain everything and he's not in the mood to do that...

 

Ah! There, hello new friend, this can work just fine!
