Part 3

Ryo's mouth drop to the ground. A mouse and it can talk. Maybe, he was dreaming. He rubs his eyes for a second. "You are a talking mouse." Ryo said as the shock slowly disappear. "You are talking jekha and you don't see me complaining, do you?" The mouse said. "Well, sorry, it is not every day I see a talking mouse." Ryo said with frustration. "Why? Everything talks . . . just not in your tongue. Your tongue can be quite harsh on an animal ear." The mouse said. Ryo feel he was going nowhere with this odd creature. He rubs his head again. It was really hurting now. He place his hand on the tree as he feel hisstomach twist and his vision-become blur. Ryo fell to his knees as the darkness creep up on him. The last thing he remembers was a little white mouse.

Nighttime or Hours later.......

He lets out a groan as he comes too. Ryo blinks as he look at the night sky. He feel his body was wraps tightly in blankets. A small fire was going on. The mouse watches the fire and then turn to him. "Good. You are awake." The mouse said. The mouse disappears from thin air. This mouse seems to be full with surprises. A small jug fell to the ground and then something wraps in some type of material. The mouse reappears again. "You can teleport?" Ryo said in shock. "Teleport?" The mouse said as its head tilts toward him. "Here, drink this and eat some kijim. It will get your strength and health your head." The mouse said. Ryo unwrap himself from the blankets "Thanks." Ryo said as he took a sip from the jug. It was water. He unwrap the kijim. It looks like a block of cheese. When he took a piece of the kijim, it broke off like abread. Slowly, he chews the small piece of the substance into his mouth. It taste like cheddar cheese with hint of peanut. He continues to eat his meal in silent.

"Look, I am sorry. I know we got off on the wrong foot. Let starts off with a name. My name is Ryo Sandra. But you may call me, Ryo." Ryo said. "I don't get many jehka out here. If I do,they always seems to be looking for something. Gold, Water, and shiney stuff. They threats cut down my tree. But I always stop them. The benefit of what the word you called it..."Teleport" As for a name, the jekha often, called me, Cat." The mouse thought for a moment. "A mouse called Cat." Ryo said as he shakes his head. This place was getting odd and odd for by the second. Ryo finish his meal as he set the jug back to the ground. "Can you a question, why do you keep calling me jekha?" Ryo said curiously. "Don't you know? Jekha is the warrior race of Northern Mountains. I could tell by your armor when you fell from the sky. A strange thing is the armor vanishes once you hit the ground. Where did your armor go?" Cat asks. "Ugh....I can't tell you yet. Please understand . . . It is just that I am confused at the moment." Ryo shakes his head in confustion. "I understand. We will talk more in the mourning." Cat said with almost understanding tone. Ryo curls back into the blankets and slowly when back to sleep.
