The Female Matis warrior tossed the package in her hand for a few moments while her thoughts wandered into the past.....
"Whats this package for Daddy?" The little girl pointed at a small parchment wrapped package in the icebox.
"Leave that alone!" he almost yelled at his precious daughter. "Do you remember Fralina our pet Fippo? She ate some of that and it drove her mad! Remember she almost bit you?"
"But why does it make frippos crazy and mean like that?" she asked with a frown, remembering how her beloved frippo changed his behavior towards her.
"Its called Goo, because of its texture, it drives normally nice creatures to madness!"
"But why do we have some? Isn't it dangerous?"
"Yes! Very! Anways, a man has to provide for his family, so I secured some from the jungle for our Matis scientists, who offered to pay me very well for a sample. Maybe they can figure out what it is and how we can destroy or counteract it if it infects the forest some day! At any rate, DO NOT TOUCH IT!" He said with empasis.
The little girl withdrew her hand and stopped pointing at it, then shut the icebox door.
...The female warriors thoughts returned to the present and she tossed the package back into the storage locker she kept in her apartment. She counted how much she has saved up, 32 magnificient goo contaminated meat, 8 superb goo contaminated meat, 26 excellent corrupted Igara skins from the goo igaras that infected Fearing Fens Outpost. And finally 45 each of Goo residue and pure goo residue, which carried a lot of weight.
She read how it was dangerous to keep such infected items in a homins apartment. But she had to find out more about this substance that drove her father insane and caused him to run through the prime roots totally naked one day, and never to be seen again.
As she felt the sorrow of losing her father, she suddenly got a sharp splitting headache and her vision went fuzzy for about 15-20minutes. there seemed to be a hint of purple in her eyes as she laid down to rest. She couldn't help but feel anger that welled up inside of her though. She didn't know why, but she got up and drew her daggers out and threw them at the front door with all her strength. She was going to kill whoever, or whatever was responsible for this!
