Maw's Gift
Maw stretched himself out as much as he could while unconscionably hovering a foot off the ground. But he could still not see over the heads and shoulders of the blobs in front of him.
He sank back to the floor. How was he going to get to the front. Paabellum was overseeing the teaching of a new fighting technique. And Maw really wanted to see it.
He looked once more at the various limbs in his way. He considered biting a couple of them, but he didn't think that was a good idea. But maybe he could go through them.
He slowly oozed his way past. Only once did he catch himself from biting someblob's hooved foot when it almost stepped on him. But a last he made it to the front of the crowd. And just in time to see one blob throw another bigger blob to the ground.
"Ha! That's how it's done!" Exclaimed Parabellum. "One more time." They said to the two fighting blobls.
This time Maw saw the whole thing. How the smaller blob was able to use the bigger blob's momentum to toss it to the ground. It was pretty cool but unless Maw grew arms it wasn't something he could do.
"Alright, get into groups of two and we will practice." Parabellum shouted.
Maw moved to the entrance and stood watching as Parabellum went from group to group. Helping where it was needed.
Maw was in awe of how well Parabellum made sure to visit each group.
Suddenly a thought came to him. He wanted to give Parabellum a gift. Maw left the arena, A plan forming in his mind.
It took him a little bit to find a Ferrowood tree and longer to gather its leaves. And even longer to befriend the Vulking that was living in the tree. But finally he had his gift.

When he got to the arena there were only a couple of blobs practicing and Parabellum was no longer on the grounds. Maw looked around and spotted them in the stands. He quickly made his way to Parabellum his present clutched tightly in his teeth. When he reached the blob he spit it out and grinned at the blob before him.
He nudged the metal contraption closer. It was a roughly shaped hollow cone with a small opening at one end and a larger opening at the other end. And there seemed to be teeth marks all over it."Maw brought you a gift! Maw thought that you shout so much that maybe you need a little help. You know so you won't lose your voice.
