The Beginning

Making paper was something Irema needed to do for various tasks. Making paper could be either by grinding it into a pulp, or using chemicals. However their was a problem with both of these methods currently. First Irema had nothing to grind the tree into pulp, and even if he did he wouldn't be able to, as the tree was tougher than any tree he's ever seen. Using chemicals was also not possible, with the past chemicals used to turn the tree into pulp it most likely wouldn't work on these trees.

The only option Irema had was to use a little bit of the Golden dart frogs poison and wait to see if it turns to tree to a good pulp density. Before making the paper, Irema wanted to get more of the Golden dart frogs eggs, in hope to hatch his very own golden dart frog.

Back in the forest where he last saw the Golden dart frog, Irema saw even more eggs and a pink dart frog with the Golden one. Irema had no idea a pink dart frog was even real, but with the mutations of animals, anything was possible.

'Hmm now I'm sure the golden dart frog has the most dangerous poison, but what if each dart frogs poison has their own uses' Irema contemplated the uses of different varieties of dart frogs that would come in handy.

'So now I have to wait for both of the dart frogs to leave so I can try to steal five more eggs' Irema waited for an opportunity for both of them to take some eggs into the nearby river. Four hours of waiting the dart frogs took some of the eggs and left. 'Four hour long wait I hope this was worth it.' Irema hoped he would get lucky.

After getting the eggs Irema then had another problem. 'If I want to hatch the eggs then I'll need to make a little pond, luckily rocks haven't mutated to become sturdier than normal. I can probably just disassemble the ax, and make a pickax ' Irema thought of a way to make a pond for the eggs.

'Ok so now that I have a sturdy tree that cant really be broken through normal means. I'll make the handle piece out of the wood, and I'll try to sharpen the monkey bone with the tree since it's tough, and then I'll make it into a pickax irena thought with a goal in mind and hoped the eggs would hatch by then.

Two weeks later Irema made the pond around fifteen inches in length and twenty four inches in width. 'Damn that took longer than expected so I guess the rocks are mutating it's just a slower process, it should have taken me around three days if the rocks were normal.' Irema said while huffing since he was tired and sore from the constant strain on his body. 'Now I have to wait for the eggs to hatch and become tadpoles, then I think I just put them in the pool of water Irema now had to observe the eggs to hatch.

"DAMN IT, it's been close to a month are the eggs break while I was carrying them to the cave?' Irema shouted in anger while also wondering what happened to the eggs. 'I guess I could steal more eggs since that golden dart frog had around two hundred of them all clumped up together.' Irema decided that he would have to just steal more eggs and be careful with them.

Just as Irema was preparing to leave the cave, he heard a sound, and turned around. 'What so the eggs weren't broken after all.' Irema thought in glee. He then rushes towards two of the eggs that hatched and he saw tadpoles. "Hahah I'm sure one of them will be a golden one" Irema said out loud hoping it would become true. As he put the two tadpoles in the pond he then waited to see if the other three eggs would hatch as well.

After two weeks of waiting for the remaining three eggs to hatch, none of them did. 'Of course I'm not that lucky to get them all to hatch I just hope the poison of my new frogs will help me out in the future.' Irema thought with despair. 'I remember seeing online that the mother dart frogs, would let the tadpoles eat the defective eggs since they are high in poison.

After three more months the tadpoles were becoming more frog like and the color of their skin was beginning to show. One of the tadpoles was a light green color. 'Hmm green I wonder what it melts and what it could be used for in the future' Irema thought. While the other tadpole was a dark white color. 'If the brighter colors mean the most poisonous, then this seemingly dark whit frog probably isint that poisonous. And I've never seen or heard about a white poison dart frog.' Irema tried to think if this whit poison dart frog was useful or not. "Well I'll have to keep stealing eggs and feeding it to these two little guys, and I hope they don't try to kill me as I make them my pets.' Irema wished for the best.

An additional 1 month later the tadpoles became true dart frogs. Irema then had to distinguish if they were male or female. He did this by looking at their feet and how tall they were."Hmm well we have two female frogs I hope they don't attack each other, as I'm sure the green one would easily kill the white one" Irema remembered that frogs were aggressive towards each other.

"I'll name the green one Lime, and I'll name the white one Cream" Irema named them that since he hadn't had those types of food for a long time.

'Now to see what their poison can do.' Irema thought to him self as he took out some objects and hoped the frogs would spit on it, to see what effects they had.
