When Cassim awoke the next morning Iago was gone!
"Iago"
Cassim searched the layer but didn't find his friend!
Upon having beeen the King of Thieves for twenty years, Cassim's tracking skills were amazing.
He quickly put those skills to work.
He tracked Iago back to the rain forest.
A giant, winged serpant had a hold of the parrot!
"Iago!"
The serpant and Iago looked over.
"Cassim?!"
None of them moved.
"Cassim, get out of here!"
Cassim snapped to attention.
"I'm not going to leave you to be eaten by Malcho!"
Cassim drew his sword and charged!
"Cassim, no!"
Malcho struck Cassim back with one of his wings.
Cassim quickly took cover in the trees.
He took the bow that was on his back and put an arrow in it.
He took careful aim and fired.
Malcho yelled in pain as the arrow cut across his face.
Cassim started to jumped to another tree.
"Cassim, look out!"
Iago's warning came too late!
Cassim cried out in pain as Malcho's razor sharp teeth sank into his stomach, chest, and back!
Malcho savagely shook Cassim then threw him to the ground!
Cassim lay on the ground, bleeding, and trying to breathe!
