The place they transported to was hot and humid and appeared to be--as Mau'i said-- a swamp.
Frogs and annoying buzzing bugs swarmed around everywhere. One of the frogs hopped on Mau'i's shoulder. He just brushed it off and continued walking.
Perseus grew very thirsty as they walked along, they couldn't seem to find a way out of the swamp.
"Mau'i," Perseus croaked--almost like a frog.
"Yes?" said Mau'i.
"How long usually, are these swamps?"Mau'i seemed to think and then said, "I don't know."
Perseus groaned inwardly, he was desperately in need of water.
Suddenly, he saw Arthur taking a flask from his pack. Perseus was so thirsty that he snatched it from him and drank most of it down.
"Hey!" Arthur complained.
Perseus shot Arthur a glare. "Why didn't you tell us you had that the whole time?"
"I didn't know you were thirsty!" said Arthur.
Perseus paused, Arthur made a good point. Now he knew why everyone would know him far and wide.
It seemed to be getting cooler by the minute, which Perseus was grateful for.
Soon the croaking and buzzing sounds were replaced by creepy animal sounds.
"This," said Mau'i "is unlike any swamp I have ever seen."
Perseus had to agree--even though this was the only swamp he'd been in.
Suddenly they saw a small dwelling that looked like it was made out of dried mud, with maniacal old man laughter coming from inside.
Perseus saw someone coming out of the dwelling. It seemed to be a small green...man? He appeared to be the source of the laughter they had heard.
Arthur drew his sword, but it seemed to fly out of his hands.
"No need for that, Arthur." said the old man "Old Yoda, you would not hurt, would you? Ready to go with you I am."
Everyone stared at him blankly.
"Foresaw you coming, I did."
More blank stares.
"Do not you know what you have to do?"
"Um, no?" said Perseus
Yoda sighed. "While I tell you the story sit down you must."
Everyone gathered round Yoda as he began the story.
