Nic senced the creature seemed to be laughing at him. "Hey what's so funny...woah." He said he saw the tail. "What are and where does this tunnel go?" He asked trying to see further down the tunnel. "Oh and if you are the one that saved me from the Ivey then, thanks."

The creature only laughed again and gave a slight buck in an attmept to send the human slideing down its back..into the darkness of the tunnel.

Nic seemed to sence the creature's intentions. "If you think it's safe," He muttered and allowed himself to slide down into the tunnel. "Now where am I?" He called out.

There was a scrambling as the creature followed hm down the drop and there was a small snuffleing in the darkness before some kind of light filled the cave-like place, the creature had just poked a couple mushrooms and they had lit up rilliantly at his touch. It seemed the thing was part armadillo. Big ears, long nose and mouth with a large armored plate over its shoulders and back, smaller plates overlayed on top of one another for a ways before joining up with the large bottom plate. Its legs and arms were not as short as a normal armadillo though. they had sinifigant elbows and wrists, to which the three long claws protruded,almost spadelike when clenched together. The feet and legs were strong, and held the same massive three claws, but these were not as curved, probably to make for easier walking. Then htere was the tail, heavily armored and at least as long as the body was. The thing's armor was a dull bronze and its skin..which was tough like a rhino hide was a dark tan. All this combined with the fact to kid could probably use it like a giant horse because of its massive size made the creature an imposeing thing. It leaned forward black eyes shneing in the dark as it inspected the boy. The tail slunk around and...poked the boy in the chest, this caused the creature to laugh soundlessly once more, sides shakeing.

Nic looked in awe at the creature as the light shone on it. This defiently a creature build for battle, or at least defense. 'Amazing,' He thought as he inspected the armidillo looking creature. 'What is it?' He asked in his mind going through the list of creatures that he knew off. Nothing popped into his head right away, but that was okay he could find out later. As he felt the creature's tail hit his chest he stumbled backwards a few steps. 'Either it has a wierd sence of humor, or it's curious about me. Well I'm curious about it so let's see if I can talk to it.' He thought. "Hi I'm Nic, a tamer. Who might you be, and can you talk?" He asked his voice slightly shakey but for the most part it was bold.

The armadillo thing was still laughing without makeing any noise. It poked him again in the chest before bending over to look at him curiously. Head tilted to one side and eyes sparkleing with humor. It shook its head at the last question ears f.licking upward it reached up and poked at the darkness of the celing lighting up a few other mushrooms. It was still a very young Armarin, a very rare species as they spent most of thier lives underground in the desert.

Nic sighed, a partner shoudl be able to talk to each other. But he was sure the creature could understand him, and he semi understood it. He stumbled back on to his bottom at the second poke. "Okay you just love doing that don't you?" He asked in a humor filled voice. "You're an Amarin, and I'm guessing a young one at that. Do you have a name?" He asked taking a huge intrest in the creature.

The armarin shook its head happily, ears flopping slightly as he jumped upward, digging its claws deep into the roof and briging the rest of itself up into the darkness, dissapearing from sight.

Nic looked up with shock and dismay. "Hey are you just going to leave me like that?" He called out looking toward the roof. 'Oh great now I'm stuck, what a day this has been.' He thought trying to find the slightest hint of a way out.

Dirt rained down from above and a slurping was heard. Like the armarin was eatingworms or something, its tail could faintly be seen wagging slightly in the half-light.

Nic sighed as he heard the sound. "Hey once you finish, can you help me get to the surface?" He called out. "Plus would you like to be my main partner?" By now he had thought that his armarin would be a great companion.

A loud thud annonced the Armarin's return to the bottom of the cave and looked at him quizzically, before it made a neutral sound and grabbing him with one arm thrw the kid over his shoulder before digging his claws into the vertical drop, climbing upwards.

"I'm going to take that as, you'll think about it." Nic said with a grin. "You're different and cool, yet you need a name." He said. "What do you say to me naming you?"

The amarin made no gesture to careing wether or not it had a name, it had found another large grub of some sort and paused to slurp it greedily before contiinueing its climb it yawnedas it made its way slowly through the angled, more cramped tunnel and blinked in the bright sunligt. Meanwhile the Creepind Ivey had slowly began to stir into life again.

Nic blicked hard, and turned his eyes downwards. "Wow the sun is harsh after being down there for so long. I'm going to call you Shield, how's that sound?" He said as he enjoyed and thanked him for the ride, and help once again.

The armarin finished getting used to the light and stood up on its hind legs, looking around curiously, it spotted the still slowly moveing Creeping ivey, but paid it no real mind. It yawned and looked at the boy when he spoke, considering for a moment before nodding happily.

Nic nodded with a happy grin, "Okay you will be my main companion. So, Shield, want to hang around here or travel. I'm fine if we travel underground, just let me come up for fresh air every once in a while." He asked hopping down, slightly clumsily.

The amarin thought for a moment shakeing off a vine that had wound itself around his fot and then yawning again it just stood there, as if it expected Nic to do something.

Nic gave a thoughtful look before judging the distance of the sun. "Well we have a while before sunset, so we can travel and then find shelter. Maybe try to make it back to my home." He said turning t face Shield.

The armarin had become distracted as one of the now sluggish shoots of ivey curled around its leg. 'Sheild' as he was now dubbed promptly sliced it off the plant-creature with one claw boredly, pulling it off his ankle and tossing it away. It looked at Nic curiously, ignoreing the small gurgle of pain that emenated from the center of the plant.
