And so, so does he. Unknown to him is that he is perhaps ten feet, give or take a few, away from the females. Nevertheless, he is unable to hear them and this somehow disturbs him. Shivering, he continues to walk straight, making minimal sound as his nightvision increases and his stumbling lessons.

A few minutes pass uneventfully until, suddenly, and completely out of the blue, he hearts a "RIBBIT!" Stock still now, he glances around and sees the same frog that had so recently plagued Maleah. Instead of screaming, though, he just stares until the frog utters another "RIBBIT!" A slow smile grows on the colt's face as he watches the curious creature. "Hello," he says, not able to believe that the thing would not be able to talk.

"Hello to you to," the frog finally manages after a few ribbiting tries. Looking wary, the frog asks, "Are you going to scream like the other?"

Zamnor takes a step towards the green thing in his excitement. "There's another?"

"Yeah," replies the frog rudely, still shaken by his ordeal. "Two of them. The smaller one screamed and the bigger one said that horses eat frogs in some place called France." He looks - at least, Zamnor guessed that it was a male - utterly disgusted. "Eating frogs? Humph!"

"I'm sorry to hear that," Zamnor ventures politely. "Could you tell me where they are?"

"Looking for them, eh?" The frog gives the colt a long look. "Just keep heading straight, kid, and you'll find them eventually." That said, he hops straight up, turns, and heads into the shadows. As he goes, though, Zamnor hears, "Just wanted a small kiss, I did. Just to turn me back! Hm! She'll be sorry once she hears of me again. Handsome prince, am I, and will find that kiss!"

Staring after the strange frog, Zamnor finally shrugs and turns to follow the unmarked path towards Carinosa and Maleah.

Author: Maleah [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 11:56:55 12/01/02 Sun The story doesn't really help her, as she hears the ribbits in the forest. She spots Zamnor, seeing him unharmed for the most part. "Did he meet the frog? Did he eat it? Is he from France?"
