"Home?" Meechee questioned. "Migo, what do you mean by-"

Meechee took a moment to think about what Migo could possibly be planning.

"Migo, you can't be serious." She said finally.

Meechee, despite Migo's warning, had followed him to the edge of the mountain where he planned to jump off to get to the ground. This being the same place he had slipped off of the first time.

"Meechee, what choice do I have?" Migo asked as he tried to end the conversation so he could get Percy back home.
"The Stonekeeper isn't going to stop trying to kill Percy and I won't stop trying to kill him if he hurts Percy." Migo growled the last bit.

Percy shivered slightly feeling Migo's anger spike a bit. "A-as much as I don't want to be around the big ferocious yeti Meechee calls a father, I-isn't there a better way to get down the mountain?" Percy questions as he tightens his grip on Migo's horn.

Percy was currently sitting on Migo's shoulder, much like he had when Migo was showing him around the village. Being this high up near the cliff did make Percy wish he was back on the ground already.

Migo tried to reassure Percy that he would be okay. "Trust me, Percy. All you have to do is hold on tight."

Percy gulped as he looked down at the layer of clouds, remembering how high up Migo had gone to get here.

"I-I honestly don't th-think that will be a problem." He whimpered, turning his head away from the cliff.

Migo felt Percy's fear spike.

"Don't worry, Percy." The yeti said reassuringly. "There's a big layer of snow down there, it will be like landing on a pillow."

Percy smiled at the thought, until he remembered the yeti equivalent of a pillow is a rock.

The smallfoot gulped, praying that Migo didn't mean a yeti pillow.

"Migo, you don't have to do this." Meechee tried. "We can try to find a way to keep Percy safe."

"Meechee-" Migo was about to say but Percy spoke.

"Even if the Stonekeeper wasn't trying to kill me, I can't stay up here forever." Percy stated.

Migo and Meechee both fell silent.

Meechee looked to Migo in question, not understanding what the smallfoot tried to say.

Percy glanced at Migo after he felt sadness from the yeti.

"B-but that doesn't mean I-I don't want to stay here." Percy said quickly. "I-I just have friends and...and family below the clouds. If I stayed up here, they'd be worried about me."

"B-but didn't they try to blind you?" Migo asked.

Percy looked away from the yeti as he thought of a response.

"Y-yes, but... They really do care about me." Percy reasoned. "They were just trying to do what they thought was best for me, despite my protests."

"Perc-" Migo tried but a loud roar cut him off.

Meechee gasped as she looked back toward the village. "I-it's my dad!"

Percy gasped and tightened his grip on Migo's horn and whimpered in fear.

"Okay, if you're going to do this Migo, you have to do it now!" Meechee said quickly.

Migo looked toward the cliff and glanced at Percy.

"Ready, Percy?" He asked.

Another roar rang through the air, sounding closer.

"Y-yeah." Percy nodded. "L-let's get outta here."

Migo nodded as he turned to the cliff.

"Migo! Stop!" The Stonekeeper yelled.

The yeti turned back in a panic to Meechee's angry father.

"Dad-"

"Not now Meechee." The Stonekeeper held his hand up at her to cut her off.

Percy moved closer to Migo's head, trying to hide in his fur from the angry yeti before them.

The Stonekeeper held his hand out to Migo. "Give me the smallfoot."

Migo used his hand to shield Percy from the Stonekeeper's view.

"No." He growled.

The Stonekeeper growled in response. "You don't understand! It can not be allowed to live!"

"Why?!" Meechee shrieked. "Why do you want the smallfoot dead?"

Stonekeeper glanced at his daughter then back at Migo. "After what Dorgle has told me of a gong ringer's strength, I can't allow that smallfoot to live. Not as long as it is Migo's soulmate."

Percy shook with fear as he looked at the angry yeti in front of him.

Migo glance at the smallfoot on his shoulder.

Feeling his soulmate's fear, Migo glared toward the Stonekeeper.

"I'm not going to let you hurt Percy." He growled.

Migo took a step toward the cliff.

The Stonekeeper stepped forward angrily.

"Percy, hold on tight." Migo whispered to his smallfoot.

Percy looked at Migo confused, but tightened his grip on the yeti's horn.

Migo stepped backward toward the cliff. He was only one step away from falling off the cliff.

The Stonekeeper seemed to realize what the yeti before him was planning.

"Migo, don't jump." He said quickly. "He won't survive the fall."

Migo's eyes twitched as the Stonekeeper tried to reason with him.

Percy looked back toward the cliff to see how close they were. He felt dizzy as he looked down at the gray clouds below. He shifted closer to Migo's head.

"Migo?" Percy whimpered, looking at the Stonekeeper.

Migo held his hand near Percy in an attempt to reassure him.

"You trust me, don't you?" The yeti asked.

Percy looked at his soulmate. The yeti wasn't looking at him, but he could feel the determination the yeti felt. Percy knew he could trust Migo to keep him safe.

"Yes." Percy said, feeling the same determination. "I trust you."

"Then close your eyes." Migo said.

"Migo!" The Stonekeeper yelled. "It can not be allowed to live!"

Percy obeyed and closed his eyes. He hid his face in the yeti's fur and held onto his horn as tight as he could.

Migo looked over at Meechee. Meechee nodded at him.

Migo took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

He then leaped backward off the cliff.

"No!" The Stonekeeper yelled.

As they fell, Percy suddenly lost his grip on Migo's horn.

"M-Migo!" He screamed, trying desperately to get back to the yeti.

The yeti gasped and tried to reach the smallfoot.

"Percy, hold on!" He called.

Migo reached out to the smallfoot. He glanced back to see that they were quickly approaching the ground.

Percy began to hyperventilate as he thought he was going to die.

Migo reached his hand out to grab Percy once again.

"Percy, give me your hand!" He yelled.

Percy looked over at Migo. His eyes filled with tears as he reach for the yeti.

He glanced toward the ground and saw how close they were to it.

In a final desperate attempt to get back to Migo, Percy tried to jump in mid air to reach him.

Once Percy had done this Migo had just enough reach to grab Percy, with only enough time to pull the smallfoot to his chest before they hit the ground.

Migo sat up after a moment to check on Percy.

"Percy?" He asked. "Percy, are you okay?"

Percy was shaking in fear as he gripped Migo's fur.

"Percy?" Migo asked again filling with worry.

Percy slowly looked up at him. He quietly began to laugh.

"Th-thanks." He chuckled.

Migo tilted his head in confusion.

"Let's not do that again." Percy laughed, hugging the yeti.

Migo smiled as he realized Percy was just fine. He placed his hand over the smallfoot as he hugged him back.

"Let's keep going." Migo said. "Stonekeeper might be right behind us."

Percy's heart dropped, remembering Meechee's father was out to kill him.

"R-right." He said.

Migo stood and lifted Percy back to his shoulder.

Percy pointed in the direction of the village. "Let's go that way."

Migo nodded and began to go in the direction.
