Ned leapt forward and grabbed the mushroom.
He was not about to let Beard get the first power up.
Ned quickly devoured the mushroom. "That was very rude," said Beard. Ned smiled with mushroom guts in his teeth. "One of us had to eat it." They started walking down the cave tunnel in silence.
Ned started to feel queasy. In the distance he could see the silhouettes of little human like figures darting around. The colors that he could see on the sides of the cave began to become vibrant. Ned started to giggle. "What the fuck is wrong with you," said Beard. Ned kept walking without saying anything. Just more giggles. Each time he took a step, it felt like he leapt 30 feet! He was leaping across the clouds! "The snozberries tastes like snozberries," Ned whispered to himself.
In the distance, Ned saw some bright lights flying closer.
"Look at that, Beard, they're butterflies. They're so beautiful..."
Beard couldn't see anything, but he began to hear fluttering and then screeching.
"Holy shit, they're bats!".
He drew his sword and got into a fighting stance.
Ned gaped for a few seconds. He could see his own breath coming out of his mouth like a rainbow and behind it, Beard, with a lightsaber. The butterflies came so close they could almost touch them. "Looks like a flower," Ned thought. "Nature is wonderful, even in this cave". He fell to his knees, grateful for the spectacle that life was giving him. And then Beard began to swing his sword back and forth and the butterflies fell to the ground in pieces. Ned grabbed hold of one of Beard's multicolored legs and began to cry.
"Beard, don't kill them! They are pollinators!".
"What the fuck are you doing, Ned? Help me kill these bats!
Beard had to finish the job with Ned clinging to his legs. When he had killed all the bats, he pushed Ned to let go. He was clinging like a tick, still crying. Ned fell backwards and began to laugh.
"I'm asking you again, Ned, what the fuck is wrong with you?" said Beard.
"You've got a butterfly hanging out of your beard."
