The sound of frogs croaked across as they jumped around in the foggy atmosphere around them, followed by the sound of large insects wings flapping as they wisped by. Murky water and overgrown plant life coated the ground with large trees that squished together as the overgrowth kept going without a stop for a good chunk of the island. A dark figure with black feathers and a white feathered face was making his way through the thick mud of the wetlands with each step getting harsher due to the thick mud mix of water, red eyes scanned around as he let out a sneeze from hissing at the files that flew too close to his face.

Rocket had been tasked with helping the shopkeeper who was in a rush today and disturbed his nap, the large male sucho had agreed to help out the oviraptor shopkeeper and would venture the dangerous wetlands in search for some items that the oviraptor requested for. So out and about he was sniffing the area in the search for random items he thought that would be good for the shopkeeper, annoyed but it was good for Rocket to get out he didn’t do it often or travel for all that matter.

“ Why did I agree to do this, especially since the wetlands are so murky and deep with mud” Rocket hissed from his jaws, his black feathers now dirty with mud.  Coming to a large fallen log that blocked his pathway , and finding a way around it wasn’t going to be easy but the old male knew the wetlands well at least a bit which would help aid him in his search for the random items and trinkets he thought the oviraptor would like.  Using his head he placed it against the log before pushing with all his might letting out a annoyed growl from

His jaws but moving the large log out of the way he was going before shaking out his feathers.

“Well that was a lot easier than I thought , now time to look for some things that crazy bird asked for” he grumbled

Before leaning down and lifting a few rocks that stuck out of the muddy water which was past his feet, his red eyes spotted an opal rock that had been conditioned from the wetland water running over it and time.  Leaning down he grabbed it in his claws and looked for more deeper in the wetland mud, he was finding a lot and surely this would be something the shopkeeper would want.

When Rocket was done collecting the stones he began to move on jumping on top of the log to get to the other side as he hadn’t moved it all the way over, but once he was over he was met with a dense forest and small grassy banks that just sat above the water which meant surely he would

Find more things to take with him. Remembering which way he had come from

He moved forwards and kept the stones in his claws as he ducked under various branches and splashed in the murky brown water.

“ I forgot how much I hated the wetlands. This place stinks, smells like a rotting corpse” Rocket growled as he kept moving, remembering why he never made this place his home and wanting to hurry up his time here. A little further walking and Rocket had found some old nets that were stuck to rocks and tangled on branches that he wrapped around his tail to make it easier to carry.

He was getting full on random objects as he grabbed a couple of odd looking sticks in his jaws as he found a small piece of land that he could stand on away from the deep mud, Rocket placing it all down as he shook out his feathers before looking around the vast wetlands as more bugs flew around him still causing a annoyance. Letting out a growl he snapped at the files before looking down at all the things he had found and nodded to himself before picking them all up again before heading back into mud and following his footsteps to find his way back out of the wetland area passing by the various overgrown plant life which bloomed with life due to the lands being so lush.

“This place is beautiful but it hides such dark and dangerous secrets if you don’t watch carefully” Rocket hissed through his teeth and he couldn’t let the oviraptor get lost or hurt in here so he volunteered himself since he had experience in the dangerous wetland area on the island. So he was tasked with it and it didn’t hurt the old sucho to get out and do some things but it was time for him to head back to find the scatterbrain oviraptor to unload the random items, which he was usually easy to find with him being so loud most of the time. Rocket had followed his trail back from where he ventured to stepping over the large log as his back claws leaving marks as he slipped a bit but caught himself on the other side before letting out a grumble as he kept making his way through the thick mud that held onto him as he walked, needing to be a bit stronger on the way back as it had dried but from the sun.

“Just about out, man does this mud suck I am going to have to go wash off after this” Rocket said himself as he finally got past the wetlands thick trees out into the normal swamp area. He was finally out with all items that he collected with him and it was now off to the shopkeeper who wasn’t to far from where Rocket was, as he walked up to the shopkeepers area that he kept his shop he called out for the oviraptor who didn’t take long to make himself known to the sucho.

“Oh Rocket your back, why aren’t you dirty and what took you so long!” The oviraptor squawked at Rocket who had an annoyed look across his face as he shook out his feathers and put the items on the ground for the shopkeeper to look over. “Here I got your stuff, look at it, I don’t know what your going to do with it” Rocket added as he stepped back from them looking down with his red eyes as he watched the Oviraptor look over the various things.

“Oh look at all this, these are great Rocket I will use all of it thank you for going out to that dreaded place , I would have gotten lost forsure” the oviraptor spoke to the sucho as he gathered all the items in his claws ruffling his feathers at Rocket who was nodding as he watched. 

“Next time don’t disturb my nap for this, you have bad timing” Rocket hissed as he shook out his dirty feathers once more before heading off grumbling as the Oviraptor waved goodbye to the grumpy carnivore , he needed to wash his feathers off from the mud and he wasn’t in a good mood but his running around was done for the shopkeeper so off he was to enjoy the rest of his day not in the wetland mud.
