Description
Ludo had slowly begun to accept life under his mother's rule. The household was calmer. Each day the castle became more and more complete, and the bags under Dennis' eyes grew heavier and heavier. Months had passed since he last saw his father. For the time being, Dennis had assumed that role. One day, Dennis had fallen asleep at his desk, having been the new man of the house, he was very tired. But he worked, far harder than Brudo had in years to make sure things were running smoothly. At first, Lady Avarius was hard on him and strict, but lately, she too had begun to see his transformation. Not wanting to be anything like her husband, she chose to ease up on Dennis and allow him to rest. Lady Avarius takes the bed sheet off of Dennis' bed and lays it over his sleeping body as he lay at his desk. Without saying a word, she kisses him on the head and leaves his room. Ludo comes out of his dorm to see Lady Avarius lecturing Three-Eyed Potato Baby.

Lady Avarius: What did I say would happen if you continued to use the saw without wearing proper safety goggles?

Three-Eyed Potato Baby: I'd get dust in them?

Lady Avarius: All three of them. So wear them.

She hands him a weird set of safety goggles and sends him on his way.

Ludo: Maybe next time don't get sawdust in your eyes you imbecile!

Lady Avarius: Ludo!

Ludo: What? He is an imbecile!

Lady Avarius: What did I tell you the other day?

Ludo: Ummmm...

Lady Avarius: I wanted you to be an arbiter of peace... you don't do that by calling people imbeciles.

Ludo: But_

Lady Avarius: But nothing! You're going to apologize to him.

Ludo: Ahh jeez. Do I have to?

Lady Avarius looks at Ludo with her broken eye, it pierces his soul and makes his blood run cold.

Ludo: Okay, okay.

Ludo walks away muttering incoherent swears to himself. he goes up to Three-Eyed Potato Baby sawing wood (this time with goggles).

Ludo: Hey you! Three-Eyed Potato Baby!

He stops sawing, and lifts up his goggles to look at Ludo contemptuously.

Three-Eyed Potato Baby: What?

Ludo: I'm.... ssssssusssuh.... sssssooooorrrrry.

Three-Eyed Potato Baby: ... No you're not.

Ludo: What!?

Three-Eyed Potato Baby: You're not sorry. You're only saying that because Lady Avarius got on your case about it.

Ludo: *scoffs* That's... That's not true. I'm being 100% sincere. Who are you gonna believe? The guy you've known personally for years, or my mother?

Three-Eyed Potato Baby: You don't know anything about any of us.

Ludo pouts and stomps his feet.

Ludo: I do so!

Three-Eyed Potato Baby: Oh yeah? What's my name? What's any of our names?

Ludo squints his eyes in thought.

Ludo: I'm getting a "Frank" vibe from you.

Three-Eyed Potato Baby: No. That guy's Frank.

Crocodile Monster waves towards them in acknowledgement.

Bearicorn: Dehh, here's more of that wood for ya.

Three-Eyed Potato Baby: Thanks, Bearry.

Ludo: Pfff... his name's Bearry?

Three-Eyed Potato Baby: Yeah, Bearry? Why?

Ludo: Bearry the Bearicorn.

Ludo snickers at his name. Bearicorn gets mad, ready to lash out at Ludo. He's grabbed by several other monsters to pull him away 'til he calmed down so he can go back to work.

Ludo: Yeesh, where did he get that from. Some thin skin under all that fur.

Three-Eyed Potato Baby: You know, I do not at all regret the day we booted you out.

Ludo: Oh yeah?! Well... well... you're a poopyhead!

Three-Eyed Potato Baby just ignores him and goes back to work. Ludo stomps away, defeated. He bumps into Spikeballs, a tall imposing monster smashing down nails with his large iron spike balls.

Ludo: What are you looking at?

Three-Eyed Potato Baby: Is he bothering you over there? Just ignore him. We don't do things HIS way anymore.

Spikeballs: Right... sorry bos_ I mean... Ludo.

Ludo: Growls in anger and stomps out of the room. He goes outside.

Man Arm: Where are you going?

Ludo: I'm gonna go see someone who will be GLAD to see me back.

Ludo takes one last look as one of his brothers walk in holding a tray of hoagies for everyone.

Fudo: I got hoagies for everyone!

Frill-Necked Lizard: Alright! Break time!

Fudo: Hey Ludo, wanna stick around? There's plenty for everyone. Made 'em myself.

Ludo: No thanks Fudo. As delicious as your hoagies are, I need some fresh air.

Fudo: Suit yourself. More for us!

Ludo goes outside. It's pretty chilly. He rubs his arms up and down as he goes through the Forest of Uncertain Death. Onward he treks through to a cave. A pair of red eyes peer through the darkness.

Ludo: There's my girl.

Spider appears out from the darkness, approaching Ludo for cuddles. Ludo chimes in musically.

Ludo: Look what I got! Chippies!

He pulls out a bag of Gold N' Crisps and offers it to her. She sniffs and turns her nose up to it.

Ludo: What? You love these.

Spider points over to a spun up ball caught in her web.

Ludo: Oh I see. Looks like you made plans to eat without me. What is this?

He pulls apart the webbing to see a Septarian girl, unconscious but still breathing. Ludo panics frantically tearing the webbing apart.

Ludo: You don't do this to other monsters. I thought I taught you better.

He rips and tears at it until she's fully revealed. A Septarian girl with brown hair, short but muscular, and wearing brown leather gear, like a thief would dress.

Ludo: She's so pretty.

The Septarian wakes up to see Ludo standing above her, staring down with his big yellow eyes. panicking, gets up rather gracefully, drawing a dagger on him. The spider, priming to attack and defend her master moves forward. The Septarian grabs Ludo, holding him to her chest retreating backwards, dagger to his neck.

Ludo: Easy girl. We wouldn't want our guest to make any rash decisions. By the way miss, you have a name?

Septarian: Tell your spider to back off.

Ludo: Do what she says.

The Spider retreats, webbing and hanging to the back of the ceiling. She retreats a few steps.

Septarian: Thanks.

She throws Ludo to the ground, running out of the cave and disappearing into the distance.

Ludo: Now see what you did!

Ludo chases after her, following her deeper and deeper into the darker and deadlier parts of the forest, where he knew he really shouldn't be for how dangerous it was. Little did Ludo know he was walking right into territory where he was most definitely not wanted.

Dragon: Well well well... what have we here? If it isn't our little friend.

Ludo is surrounded by several Septarian monsters. Just as they gang up on him ready to pounce, a web shoots from the trees, Spider drops down in front of Ludo, fighting off the army. Ludo runs for it. He gets chased for almost a mile. Running as fast as his little legs will carry him, a Dragon chasing him with much larger legs starts gaining on him but bumps his head on a branch, Ludo, about to escape as the Dragon dizzily rubs his skull. The Dragon pulls out what looks like a long, straw with native designs and blows into it. A dart flies out, going into Ludo's leg. He continues to run as the Dragon becomes dizzy from the head trauma, losing sight of Ludo. Ludo continues to stammer around for several minutes, beginning to feel very ill and hot. He approaches swamp land, walking through several damp puddles before succumbing to sickness.

Ludo: Fuh... fu_free... dom.

Ludo collapses into a puddle, where he continue to until a certain someone passed by. Buff Frog, with a stroller of baby eggs, strolls by.

Buff Frog: Do not fuss my little dumplings. We are almost being home, where you will have so many flies that your tummies will say "no more daddy no more" heheh. Oh no. It can't be...

Buff Frog see's Ludo's body on the side of the road. He turns him over. He sticks his ear over to Ludo's beak, and puts his finger on his neck. Ludo gives a slow, but existing pulse.

Buff Frog: Thank goodness. He is alive.

Buff Frog picks up Ludo's tiny body, cradling him in one big arm.

Buff Frog: You did not give up on me... even after I gave up on you. But I can not leave you here to die. Is because of you that I have greatest gift in world. I will not abandon you. Come girls. We must make haste. Uncle Ludo needs us.
