20. The Run
Gus climbed up on the giant head, assuming his normal spot between his two ears, grabbing on for dear life. As soon as he was situated, Rombom took off in the direction of the monster, at a breakneck speed. The tall grass disappeared underneath them as the orange glow of morning spilled over the island. Gus noticed movement in the grass on all sides, and realized that the Goom-Fars were joining in the journey, and running alongside their new leader. Gus smiled as he thought about how similar this scene was to his dreams from the night before. But then his attention turned to the destination before him, and the towering crustacean that loomed larger and larger the closer they got to the bay. The excitement of adventure and seeing his friend healed, slowly began to wash away as he realized just how big and terrible the menace before him was.
