The Kitten's Meow Part II

"I have defeated you all!" proclaimed Tayler the Wanderer.

"Gurgle......"globed the goblin.

"Gasp!" yelled Tayler, "Where's kitten?"
"I over here sir!" proclaimed the kitten, "I'm a little bruised from the scuffle with the goblins, but I am alright."
"What do you mean, scuffle with the goblins? You didn't do anything but sit in a bush." said Tayler the Wanderer.

"You set me in the bush quite roughly." said the kitten, "I bruise easily."
"I found a pickle!" yelled Cali.

"What does that have to do with anything?" asked Tayler the Wanderer.
Tayler the Wanderer, Cali and the hunting kitten walked to the river Ingolstadt.
"Ok kitten, how do we cross this? I don't like the cracking sound of the ice, it's as if there were something under it." pondered Tayler the Wanderer.
"Wait one minute so I can think." said the hunting kitten.
The bumbling trio walked until they reached a small frozen lake.
The bumbling trio made their way to the bridge and started to cross it.
Suddenly, a giant hand burst forth from under the ice.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" screamed Tayler the Wanderer and the hunting kitten.

The hunting kitten then used Tayler the Wanderer's armor as his personal chamberpot.

"OOO - Green is my favorite color." said Cali.
"Wait one moment, terrible monster." said Tayler the Wanderer, "I must put this kitten down."
Tayler the Wanderer set his burden down on a stump.
Tayler the Wanderer unsheathed his sword ready for battle.
The water monster swung at Tayler with his massive arms. Tayler ducked under this blow.

Tayler the Wanderer tried to stab the water monster with his sword, but it was to no avail. The water monsters skin was tougher than steel.
The water monster slightly jumped into the air, without noticing that the hunting kitten had wandered under him.

"Owie!" yelped the kitten. It also said a lot more curses that cannot be written, as the water monster landed on him. The monster started to lose his balance.

The kitten's yelp distracted the water monster long enough for Tayler the Wanderer to knock it back into the water.
With one last desperate attempt the water monster tried grabbing the hunting kitten as he sank back into the icy depths.

"No! Don't let him get me!" screamed the kitten, "I don't like getting wet at all."

Tayler grabbed the kitten and pulled it from the monster's clutches.
"You saved me." said Tayler the Wanderer, "Without you, I could have never defeated the monster."

"Oh." groaned the kitten, "My bruises hurt sooo much."
"Alright, we must continue on." said Tayler the Wanderer.

The three wanderers made their way to the outpost.
"Where is everybody?" asked Cali.

"I don't know." said Tayler, "We made it here on time."

"Maybe they are late." suggested the hunting kitten, "We should make camp here for a couple days."
"Hunting kitten, you stay on top of the outpost and keep a look out for the army." ordered Tayler the Wanderer.
Tayler the Wanderer waited at Shacklebottom outpost for a few days.
"Have you seen the king's army yet?" asked the bored wanderer.

"Um, not yet sir." said the kitten
"What does that umm mean?" inquired Tayler the Wanderer.
"Well, maybe there isn't an army." said the kitten, "Ummmmmm......ummmm okay, I was bored, and I only wanted to have some fun, so umm............"
"What do you mean?" yelled Tayler, "Is this another one of your lies?"

"Please have mercy sir!" cried the kitten, "Remember when I helped you defeat the water monster."

"I wouldn't have had to battle him if we never went on this stupid adventure in the first place!" yelled the angry wanderer.
"This is the last straw." said Tayler the Wanderer, "I am sick of your stories."

"Sir noooo!!!!" screamed the kitten.
Tayler the Wanderer threw the hunting kitten one hundred paces.

"REOOOWWWW!!!!!!!" went the kitten.
Later, they reconciled.

"I promise to never lie to you again, Tayler the Wanderer." said the hunting kitten.

"I promise to never throw you again, kitten." said Tayler the Wanderer.

"And I promise to share my next pickle with you guys." said Cali.

They all laughed and were happy.

"You know, I heard there's a maiden in need of rescuing..."

Tune in next month for another exciting adventure...
