It Wasn't Me and I Certainly Wouldn't Tell You If I Knew

The lizards attacked the vegitation around us with a furry that I greatly admired. Most of the green was comprised of the blackberry vines. They can tear you to shreads in the blink of eye. But the lizards set to it with a gusto. They seemed not to even notice the razor like qualities of the bushes. The clearing size was increasing at a very surprising rate. They all their fill.
Everyone of them except the duck hater. He sat down and started to chew on the ducks head. When he bit into the skull a fine powder puffed out of the nostrils. Lizard boy dropped the head and stood in the center of little cloud he had created. He inhaled deeply untill the air was clear of any trace of the powder. He repeated this process four more times. By the time he was done all og the muscles in his body were twithing and he seemed to loose control of normal function.
He collapsed in heap were he stood. His eyes round around in his skull and his eyelids sluffed off of his face to lad with a splat on the ground beside him. I started towards him to see if he was ok when Eagle-boy stopped me.
"He may kill you at this point." he explained. "Just leave him, he’ll be alright."
He explained that it was a ritual of some kind and that it would be bad manners to interfere. I noticed at that point that lizards had finished eating and were staggering toward us. The one that had sprung up in front of me, once again climbed up to my shoulder.
"Tink we’s etin ya?" He whispered in my ear. I got it that time. I nodded and patted me on top of the head.
"No wooy, I be he no."
"Wonderful," I thought to myself "Don’t worry because now your foot tall, green protector has arrived." And funny enough it did make me feel better. I could only laugh out loud.
It was almost like that was the signal to start the celebration. A bon fire appeared out of no where and the air was filled with music. I don’t know when I started dancing, all I know is that I did. And I don’t know when I passed out either. But I did.
I awoke well after sunrise. I was all alone and suddenly filled with panic. Then I felt a gentle on my head. I found myself face to face with my little green protector.
"Toed no wooy."
I smiled at him and asked him what the hell we were supposed to do now.
"Go ho." He said simply.
