Maxxor studied Chaor’s face for a moment. “Well, why are you here Chaor? Why do you look so worried?” Maxxor asked. Maxxor walked over to Chaor’s chair, and stopped.

Chaor’s expression disappeared. He sat emotionless for a moment. “I want the infection to end. I want to stop it. The thing is, I can’t do it alone. With the Danians powered up with their insects, my army isn’t enough. I don’t know what you two were just discussing, but I hope you can help. I know you don’t trust me Maxxor, but my people really need your help. Just this once, may our armies become allies? Just for this fight?” Chaor said.

Maxxor’s frown quickly turned to a smirk. “Chaor, you just got lucky. I was hoping you would agree to an alliance, but I was afraid to ask. Anyway, this here Danian has given us a way to end the infection before fighting the Danians! He has provided us with some of the insects, and has explained to me how they work. I have sent them to Bodal, and he is going to find a cure, all the while creating a special venom that will turn the insects into our allies. Then the insects will infect the Danians, and make them destroy all of the insects, while making them retreat! Then we attack,” Maxxor said.

Chaor’s face now held a surprised expression. Then he smiled. Hardly anyone had seen a heartfelt smile that held no evil appear on Chaor’s face. “That’s great! But, we will need more insects. Anyway, we should let our people know about the plan, so our army can be ready once our plan succeeds,” Chaor said.

“Yes, Dasalin is going to retrieve more insects once this meeting is over. The queen knows nothing of his betrayal, and we will keep it a secret. Once Bodal gets the cure, I will send some with you, so you can be safe from attacks on your way home, and so you can cure some of your people. I will try to help him get a big batch made,” Maxxor said.

Chaor stood up. He walked over to Maxxor, and stuck out his hand. “We are in this together, brother. May all the good souls of Perim unite to take down the evil of the Danians! And Maxxor, I heard Mudeenu denied your request for a temporary alliance, but maybe if we both ask, he will change his mind. Imagine. The Overworlders, the Underworlders, and the Mipedians all fighting together as one to defeat such a weak evil. It will be a battle to mark down in the young creatures history books! It will be a great day. And I do believe Mudeenu will accept. May we stand together and win this fight!” Chaor said, filled with a sense of great justice.

Maxxor grabbed Chaor’s hand, and gave it one strong shake, and that sealed the alliance. They then began to walk towards the exit to go and seek Mudeenu.

“Hey Maxxor, Chaor, we need that cure first right? I’ll go get some more creatures, and take them to Bodal, but you should wait for the cure, so you can present it to Mudeenu as a gift to prove that you truly want to help, and want his help. So, like the idea?” Dasalin said.

Maxxor turned to see Dasalin’s excitement. “That is one great idea. Do you mind sneaking out to Bodal’s place to see what he has done yet? You are more safe than we are. Oh, and, thanks a lot for your help. We wouldn’t be able to do this without you,” Maxxor said.

Dasalin’s eyes watered with pride. He was given a ‘thanks’ from Maxxor! Dasalin was speechless, for he often over-reacted. He nodded and headed on his way to Bodal’s office.

When Dasalin arrived at the cluttered office, he found Bodal sitting in a chair hidden by a stack of paper. “Hey, Bodal, Maxxor needs the cure as soon as you can get it to him. He wants me to deliver it to him, since I can’t get infected on the way here and back. As soon as I get the cure to him, I’m on my way to get you more insects to transfer to our side,” Dasalin explained.

Bodal looked at Dasalin with a confused expression. He then smiled. “So you are the brave Danian who took your chances and helped us out? I’m impressed. The cure is ready. I only have a couple more things to figure out before I can re-train these stubborn insects,” he said.

Dasalin looked surprised for a moment. “I only helped because I knew her motivations were only of wrong, and I knew that someday, the infection would destroy the Danian tribe if I didn’t stop it’s existence. Anyway, man you work fast! The cure is already ready?! Only two more things?! Goodness, I admire you! I wish I was as greatly knowledged as you!” Dasalin said.

Bodal handed a container to Dasalin. “One drop of this in any creatures mouth instantly cures any infected creature. Tried it on mahself. Oh, there are twenty more containers over there. Each one can cure up to five hundred creatures when full!” Bodal said.

Dasalin took the container. “Only one drop?! You risked your life?! Twenty whole containers?! Five hundred each?! Wow!” Dasalin said.

“Twenty one containers actually. You are holding one, remember? Now hurry and go! Get this thing done with!” Bodal said.

Dasalin quickly grabbed all twenty containers. They barely fit inside of his bag. He ran out of the shop after waving at Bodal, and headed back to Maxxor’s palace.

When he arrived, he ran up beside Maxxor and told him all about the cure. Maxxor was also amazed at how it worked, and how much was already made. Maxxor grasped one container, Chaor grabbed another. “Hey, you need to give one to Mudeenu remember?” Dasalin reminded. Maxxor grabbed another.

“Now, let us go and recruit the Mipedians. And Chaor, if you ever need more cure, you know where to come,” Maxxor said.

Chaor looked at Maxxor. “Thank you very much for sharing your army, and valuable cure with me and my people. Now, let’s get to Mudeenu! We don’t have much time. Give a cure container to one of your most trusted creatures, and let them cure as many creatures as they can. I will drop one off with my people on our way to Mudeenu. We need to keep a container each for ourselves incase we get infected. Five hundred cures will last us a while,” Chaor said.

Maxxor nodded, and they began on their way. Maxxor handed a container to Intress on his way out.
