Tigra ca and flew over to land on my outstretched hand. And I waited to hear what my pet had discovered. Instead of Tigra speaking, it was Carl who started to explain.
"They are known by many nas, Skin Slippers, Snatchers, Tellariders, and Mind Boggers, but it doesn't matter what you call them, they are evil. They feed off emotions, but fear is the easiest one to create, so that is their preferred thod of feeding," Carl explained, and I looked back to the creature that was crawling away.
"What can we do about the people that are trapped?" I asked as I looked at the Bubble Hive exterior shake as the massive creature reached the bottom of the canyon.
"Nothing, if you try to get near that Geo-Sect now that it has been awakened, the Tellariders will force it to go on a rampage. They will most likely kill everyone inside of it because it will try to burrow deep into a mountain, and that will crush the Bubble Hive on its back," Carl shouted, but I was able to hear him more than satisfactory through my speakers.
This was one of the worst feelings, helplessness. I could only watch as the Geo-Sect headed north from where we had just co.
"I tried to use my ability on the creature when it was still close enough, but I got the sa thing as the Queen, all blank strings, but they try to go out on the Geo-Sect, but then loop back in. I am not sure what that ans yet, but I will try to find out. For now, I am going to drop out of the Drone and go help Serria," ssia said, and I nodded to her.
There was nothing that she could do out here, so I turned back to Carl. I needed to get so more information about these Tellariders.
"What do you know about them? Have you ever dealt with anything like them?" I asked but was surprised at the reaction that I got from the Raccoon man as he spat to the side.
"Oh yeah, all fifteen of us know them very well, and there were the reasons that we were called away from our village. We thought that we had got rid of them, but this is proof that they are not gone. Also, you have ntioned the na Trent before, and it didn't really ring any bells for , but now it does," Carl said, and I moved the QBee Drone over to start in front of him.
"I am listening, explain please," I asked in my droning voice.
"We had been called to deal with a Tellarider problem, but we didn't know that until we got there. Frankly, none of us would have believed the contact if the man would have said that in the first place because the Tellariders are a myth," Carl explained.
"You an, were," I corrected, and he nodded to .
"Yes, where is right, but now I know that they weren't working alone. We had assud that we had to be working with soone because the Tellariders take too strong of control of the hosts. This makes it nearly impossible for Tellariders to grow unless they have soone who can bring those victims to control. In the case of the SugaBees, they were already isolated, and this Trent person must have left them there with soone important," Carl explained.
"Wait, then who is Trent to you? You said that you didn't recognize his na, but now you do?" I asked in confusion, but Carl waved off.
"The man that you called Trent went by the na of Travis, and there was a large elephant Folk woman with him at the ti, and a girl covered in a cloth. At first, we all assud he was a good person, and he actually helped us, but then so of our own started to disappear. We had left with twenty people, and by the ti we figured out that it was Travis doing it, we had lost five. We were never able to catch him, and now I know why, and it makes almost sick to my stomach," Carl said, and he did look visibly sick, and I could not bla him.
"Head back inside; I will see you there," I told Carl, and he took a deep breath and sighed.
This was going to be hard on all of the Raccoon Folk, including Rixie. I could tell that Carl had been slowly putting things together as he explained it to , and by the ti he was done, it looked like the realization had just knocked the stuffing right out of him.
I tried to take a deep breath in to sigh, but nothing happened, and that was a bit frustrating but understandable. Not like the Drones needed to breathe, but it was an act that made feel better when things started to pile up like now.
"I have never even heard of these things," ssia said as she and the other two girls ca over, but Miku looked like sothing was bothering her, and I was sure I knew what it was.
"Go see her. I know that you are worried about her, and we will be in there soon as well. This is just using one problem to open up and another can of them, and I am worried about what effect this is going to have on all of them," I said as I watched Muki's HydroBee took on a more alert posture and left us to circle the ship with the TeslaBee drone.
"You know where it is heading, right?" Xani asked , speaking up, and I nodded. It did not take a genius to figure that one out.
"Yes, to the goblins, and so far, we have no way to stop it even if there weren't thousands of people's lives on the line," I said in frustration, but both girls put their hands on my arms.
"I know, this is bad, but there are many of us, and we will figure it out. I suggest that we go talk to Mr. Brains, and ask him to pick it apart if he isn't already doing that, but it most likely is," ssia drones, but I could feel the eye roll in her voice.
That was right, and I would need to stop thinking like I was all alone in this.
"Okay, let's head back inside and get out of here. All we can do for now is to head to the Snake Village and hope that we can get so answers out of our captured Elephant Folk," I said, and then slipped out of the QBee Drone and back into my own body.
