Meanwhile, once more at the sight of Maganog's Skull, Blackclaw and Torgo remained in deep conversation with the disembodied voice of Kragoth who's spirit resided in the giant sharptooth's skull
"I sense you desire to return to the valley." Said Kragoth "Why?"
"To find my brother..." said Blackclaw "I believe he's being held captive by the leaf nibblers."
"That he is." Responded Kragoth, confirming Blackclaw's suspicion "But I sense more than just the seeking of your brother."
"Revenge." responded Blackclaw
"Revenge?" questioned Kragoth
"Yes, father, revenge..."
At these words, Blackclaw started to nod his head and hum a low and steady tune, it sounded like a marching tune of sorts, with a steady beat
"Oh, don't you start singing!" growled the haunting voice of Kragoth
"Oh? Why shouldn't I?" asked Blackclaw. "I just want what is best!"
Revenge.
"The- the master doesnt like singing" Stuttered Torgo
"Shut up, Torgo" replied Blackclaw before continuing his tune
Revenge!
Its a most glorious thing!
Revenge!
It has a notorious ring!
Revenge!
Oh it just makes me want to sing!
"Well your singing is atrocious! I say you should stop now while my patience is still fresh!
"Nonesense, father" smirked Blackclaw "There's not much you can do to me... DEAD!"
Revenge!
Blackclaw continued to move about bobbing his head and humming to the tune. He then continued:
The meaning is clear,
To avenge your death
and release my brother!
And then make them suffer!
Revenge!
Kragoth's annoyed growl seemed to echo from the skull while Blackclaw seemed to be rather enjoying himself
"Oh for the sake of sanity, stop this annoying music!"
At these words, Torgo stopped tapping randomly on a nearby dead tree trunk and dropped the bones he was using for drum sticks
"Blackclaw..." continued Kragoth's irritated voice "I demand to know what exactly it is your planning on doing! And in a clear none singing tone!"
"Oh, all you had to do was ask!" chuckled Blackclaw "I'm going to summon the help of our pack... the whole family will join me for a grand feast in the valley!"
"And what makes you think they're going to listen to you?!?" demanded Kragoth
"All they need to know is that there's food... and LOTS of it!"
Blackclaw then smirked and decided to annoy his father even further
[/i]Revenge!
Kragoth's annoyed roar seemed to echoe throughout the valley, Torgo cowered away in fear, still believing this voice was the voice of his Master, and that he was about to summon the dawn of the falling rock to stop Blackclaw's putrid attempt at singing

"What's going on?!?" asked Denton, finally finding the courage to speak. He looked at Longtail just as the others were at that very moment. Bewildered by this strange behavior
