The story so far:
"Infinite Web, The charcoaled remains of the promised souls" -> "The Stogh: Year One" -> "stable housing or lower ground?"
the twenty three souls that squigs took had been put into a small jar that he put inside of a bag. since he was going to be away the longest he took out two of the souls and walked on while they followed him and formed into their new bodies. squigs smiled akwardly, he wasnt used to the muscles and wires that helped his facial muscles move, and it had only been by luck that he managed not to screw up anything he had been trying to say.
the first of the two souls squigs had taken out merle formed into a skeliton. but it was the size of the skeliton that took the snake like creature by surprise. the energy that surrounded the souls bones was quickly and quietly sucked into the bones and rib cage giving it the apearance that the soul was wearing a skeliton suit and had a case of the shingles. "my my my!" squigs said excitedly as the skeleton moved jerkily this way and that, trying its best to move while its stride was beginning to increase step by step. "look what we have here! i dare say that you are in fact the most intriguing one of us all!" the skeleton stopped moving for just a second and turned its massive skull towards squigs voice. "ME... NOT... FULLY... FORMED... NEED... MORE... TIME." the voice of the soul said as the bones crumbled to dust and the soul returned to the size of a beach ball. "very well then, but i suggest that you start with the appearance first dear friend! i myself am only being held together by the very thing you see."
the second soul however, had been formed all along and was highly motivated to do whatever it was that squigs had been doing all along. "WERE WALKING!" it said in a cheerfull tone of voice as the form of the second soul warbled and flowed like a babbling brook. it had a rather fancy idea of the form it wanted to take, but it took a chance anyways. its main body consisted of a slightly blue thick liquid that was being held in place by only fifteen black orbs with intricate designs on them. it had eyes but found it rather amusing to see squigs try to make eye contact and have to look around.
"my name is squigs, a pleasure to meet you! what might your name be?" the liquid like creature thought about it for only a second before answering rather lazily. "my name? jeez... i dont think i really have one. but i guess you could call me ashford!" squigs looked at ashford rather questioningly before coming to the conclusion that any other questions would be met with by the same attitude. "so why are we walking?" ashford asked high spirited.
"i do believe that we are walking to find more suitable grounds to start a colony, i am one of the three leaders of the stogh, the other two are slim, whos busy making the place where our souls came to be more suitable for habitation. the last of the trio is cero, shes got wings and she the only one who can reach the sky flarn anytime she wants to." ashford looked up at where squigs was pointing and was wide eyed at the sight of the massive sky flarn that seemingly took up half the sky. "oh my.... how terribly interesting!"
