A Silky Fantasy Adventure
Wisps of fog drifted between the trees of our Mountain. With the different hues of light from all three moons, it looked as though pieces of rainbows had been torn and hung like Spanish moss in the forest. Rainbows with colors all the way from deep infrared to far ultraviolet of course since those are the colors my predator eyes can see. I am a Silkeon, a red furred and green eyed warrior, small but fierce. I paused at the icy waters of a mountain spring and licked delicately until my thirst was slaked.

I held my snout high and snuffled the air, searching for the scent of Poon Tang. This was my mission: to take seed from an Egroeg, mix it with my enzymes, and force the resulting snowball into the anterior pouch of a Poon Tang, to propagate dungees. The spring flowers brightened up the forest; flutter birds tweaked and whistled up in the trees. It was breeding season. One thing concerned me. I continued to feel small tremors in the ground. Were we going to have another spring time mudslide? The distant sounds seemed like rhythmic drumbeats, perhaps a waterfall.

I am famous among other Silkeons for my ability to take huge loads of seed from Egroegs, even gigantic ones with really big swollen horns covered with pulsing veins and capped with purple mushroom heads. My luck has not been so good on this hunt, for although the scent of Poon Tang seems to hang everywhere, a miasma twin of the fog, I have not been able to locate any Egroegs worth my efforts.

For the last 24 cycles of the menstrual moon, I have been selectively implanting a silver haired Poon Tang that lives on our Mountain. I'm not sure why I have selected her as she is not the best specimen. Not that any tangs are worth much; this one has small feeding mounds, freakishly long hind legs, and has lost most of the hair around her lower pouches. The hair has perhaps been worn away by Egroeg horns as when she is not sleeping she seems to always be clasped onto a rigid bone in one orifice or another.
