50 Monosyllabears, Monosyllables, and Monosyllabulls (1/2)
Two bears entered the space where the mist couldn't invade thanks to the power of music.
A few of the satyr hunters became wary and cautious. Bears were some of the satyr's natural predators. Despite the goat-people having a higher level of intelligence, many had still died by bear claws.
One of Jericho's four clones turned around. ”Bears wielding an Ax and holding items? That doesn't seem normal.” He muttered. ”Don't attack; I think there may be something more to this than meets the eye.” He held out a hand to tell the goats to back off slightly.
”(Thank goodness)” Harr growled.
Jericho faced the bears. ”I'm sorry, I don't speak animal.”
Lux assumed his human form. ”I can translate for you!”
”(Ken? Where is Princess? And why were disguised as an animal?)” Lednar asked because he knew his friend had the ability Speak with Animals.
Lux listened and repeated what he heard. ”Horn, fruit, hat, pen, pipe, and disk?” (Umm, little bear what are you trying to say?)
Lednar sighed. ”(That is definitely not what I am saying. Can you please stop joking around?)
The lynx in human form listened a bit more before donning a look of horror. ”They are Monosyllabears! Everyone get back! Don't let them touch you or you will be cursed to speak in random short nonsense words!” Lux hid behind Jericho.
Lednar roared in frustration. ”(Ken, stop fooling around!)”
”Monosyllabears?” The clone of Jericho that currently wasn't playing an instrument inquired at the very ridiculous sounding name. ”What are they Lux?”
”(Lux?)” Lednar felt confused.
”They are Syllabears that speak in short words and don't make sense! I can't believe they look just like regular bears! My mother warned me about them. She always said that among the Syllabears that some of the Mono ones make you sound really dumb.”
Harr, the larger bear, growled with the shake of his head.
Jericho sighed. ”Can you understand me?” He asked the larger bear.
Harr nodded.
”Are you a Monosyllabear?” Jericho asked, since Lux didn't really have any reason to lie.
The large bear shook his head.
”(Harr, write drink this with your ax in the dirt.)” Lednar the smaller bear said as he held out the dark purple liquid vial.
Harr took the poll end of his ax and wrote in the dirt. *Drink this*
”Jericho, don't it is a trap!” Lux quietly exclaimed.
The bard chuckled. ”This is only 1/4th of me. If it is a trap, then it won't affect me much.” He took the liquid and drank it.When he looked back at the bears he saw the people behind the appearance of the bears. ”Ah, so the bear thing is a disguise.” He thought out loud.
Harr smiled without showing his teeth. ”(Now you should be able to understand us too.)”
Jericho gave a nod. ”I can. But the others probably can't still, right?”
Lednar sighed. ”(The illusion dust and scent I put on us can only be washed off with water and I don't see a water source nearby. If we had water, we would remove out disguise as it would not be needed anymore.)”

”Alright, I just need to get you wet then?” Jericho merged two of the four copies of himself so he could use Create Water. Water appeared and he used Control Water to splash it onto the two bears.
”Finally I don't have to smell that foul odor!” Harr exclaimed through his reptilian mask as most of the illusion wore off. There were still parts of him and Lednar that still looked like they belonged to a bear. ”Lednar, you illusion is great but that was a real pain.” He turned to the bard who had once again separated himself so he could recover faster as they traveled. ”My name is Harr. This is Lednar. Sorry for the scare earlier. Sneaking past the animals in the mist was easier this way.”
The bard nodded. ”I'm Jericho, we are on our way out of the forest. Are you going to come with us?”
The young pre-teen looked up. ”Ah, so you are the famous Jericho my best friends have been raving about at school. Your sister and Kenneth talk about you a lot. Speaking of your sister, where is she?”
Harr mouthed 'don't say it' with a shake of his head.
Jericho, seeing the motion half smiled. ”You must be Alexander then. I am curious why you haven't come over to hang out with her yet. She has told me quite a bit about you too.”
Lednar nodded. ”Right; that is something I wanted to talk to you about. But you are dodging my question.”
The minstrel smiled. ”One second.” Jericho walked over to the other halves of him that were playing and swapped them jobs for the eighth time. Their stamina and magic were depleted again. The mist was kept at bay by the continuation of the serenade. The other two Jerichos came over to Lednar. ”They ran off earlier but Princess has a way to protect herself from the mist as well.” Jericho explained calmly to avoid letting his own personal worry reveal itself.
Lednar frowned. ”Then who is that behind you acting scared and calling us made up creatures? He looks just like Ken.”
Jericho laughed. ”Want to introduce yourself officially Lux?”
”I don't want to tell the Monosyllabears that I am Ken's younger brother though.” The feline replied defiantly.
