I have been travelling for a while now, following the river and eventually finding a cave in a large hill on the border of Terra's and The Water Guardian's territory, whose name I recently found out was Aqua on my travels. I went in hoping to find a new town to settle in for a small bit and explore new people. I was walking inside for a while before I found the walls and floor seeming slightly wet but at the same time solid, if that makes any sense. Further inside the cave, a large pool of water was covered with a thick membrane of the goo similar to the stuff on the walls and floor. I spent a while looking at the membrane, trying to see what was in the water or what might've created it. Perhaps there's a gooey amalgamate that I should take care of, so I tried lifting the membrane from the water. However, as soon as I did that, let's say I regretted it because a large clump of slime appeared from a thin crack in the wall and grabbed me by covering my entire body. When I was became fully engulfed, my consciousness failed me, and I passed out.

"What is it doing here, we made it clear we weren't going to allow any meaty kind in the village" I was slowly waking up as I heard conversation around me. The voices didn't sound normal, though, almost as if they were talking through water.

"Ask the meaty kind itself, why would I know this? They should know that the powerful one is still awakening the wild ones during this time. I caught it while it was touching the powerful one's shield."

They're saying meaty kind. Do they mean me? And who's the powerful one? What about the wild ones? Should I wake up, or should I stay asleep? Am I in danger?

After thinking for a while, I decided to let them know that I was awake and ask questions. If they turn out to want to kill me, then I can fight back... At least I hope I can.

"By meaty kind do you mean me?" I asked them, now sitting up

"Meaty kind, you understand us? We're not even changing our language for you," said the first one who spoke. I can't really tell how to describe it other than being light green and round.

The darker green one went closer to the light green one and started talking to it, acting as if it was whispering, but I could hear it perfectly. "This one seems to be one of the blessed ones, we made a mistake. Go get the powerful one."

"Who is this powerful one you're talking about?" I asked as the light green one started rushing out of the room

"You will see when he arrives, but put simply, he's the first of the gooey ones to have awakened. As the first of our species, he's as close as can be to Aqua themself. The meaty kind of the Aqua's territory call the powerful one "The Slime Guardian" similar to how they call Aqua "The Water Guardian", are you from Terra's territory? You almost unleashed the wild ones earlier, they are gooey ones who haven't been awakened yet. Similar to newborns of your kind but far more dangerous. They can't control their acidic properties and they only have the will to eat. If it weren't for the powerful one they would be sentenced to death because otherwise, they would destroy the world."

"Oh... I'm sorry, I didn't know... Thank you for stopping me," I said realizing I might have killed a lot of people if I wasn't stopped.

Soon after we finished talking, the Slime Guardian entered the room. He's so big it looked like he couldn't fit, but I remembered he's a slime when he just squeezed through the doorway.

"So you're the blessed one I've been told about." I think he bowed, but I can't really tell. He's just a big light blue blob.

"Uh, yes I am an Orunian", I said, not really knowing how to act around him.

"Come with me, I'd like to ask your help," The Slime Guardian said to me, suddenly sounding kind of serious before leading me out of the room.

"Uh, what do you need?"

"Some of our wild ones escaped as we put them in the pit of awakening a few weeks ago. They evolved in an unnatural form and are now more dangerous than they normally are. As such, I need aid from you to clear them out."

"Can't you awaken them instead of killing them?" I asked, not really wanting to kill the slimes.

"To awaken them would cause danger to the other wild ones and everyone else, especially if we fail", He then said, sounding upset.

"Oh, I see... I'm sorry, I'll help" I continued following him and eventually saw what he meant about them being dangerous. They seemed to have merged with the already gruesome amalgamates and made them look worse.

"They naturally have the essence of water so they can use water spells along with all that one of those monsters can do. Far more dangerous than they are normally. As you have access to all elements you can effectively take care of them."

"What are they weak to?" I wondered, hoping I could take them out quicker.

"They're weak to fire but it has to be hot enough to instantly evaporate them, overwise they can overtake it with their water. It makes it difficult for slimes to fight them." He said, looking kind of down.

"I can help you, I'll take them down," I said as I took out my whip and used Enflame. "I kind of use fire a lot."

"Let's hope it's enough blessed one" When he said that, he went back into the cave and sent me on my way.

So I went to kill some Slimy Amalgamates.
