I let out a frustrated sigh, rubbing my temples as the Geckles continued to argue around us, voices bouncing off the stone walls of the cavern.

This wasn't a meeting; it was absolute chaos.

Groko was standing on a chair, waving his arms dramatically. "This meeting is a trap! A treacherous Munce ambush!" His voice echoed through the cave, each syllable rising with panic.

Garpo, ever the follower, nodded enthusiastically. "Hear, hear!"

Ginkle, standing a bit too proudly on top of a table, gestured to the ceiling. "I propose we ambush them!" His voice rang with an unsettling excitement.

Kai, already fed up, sighed heavily, resting his forehead on his arm as if he could block out the noise. "Order! Order in the court!" He threw his hands up in the air, exasperated.

Zane, ever the calm one, simply shook his head. "I do not believe they're listening."

"No kidding," I muttered under my breath, watching Groko and Garpo argue about whether or not to eat the Munce instead of negotiating.

Kai growled, clearly at his breaking point. "Ugh!" He took a deep breath and with a sudden flare of his Elemental powers, ignited a fireball that hovered in his hand. The Geckles immediately fell silent, their eyes drawn to the flames in his palm.

"Thank you," Kai said through gritted teeth, his voice booming through the cave. "Now, I propose that we trust the new Munce Queen—whoever she is—and go to the truce meeting. Not ambush them."

A moment of silence lingered before I couldn't help myself—I grabbed a small pebble from the floor and tossed it lightly at Kai's head.

"Hear, hear!" I said cheerfully, with a grin that barely hid my satisfaction at his confusion.

Kai turned, his eyes narrowing as he rubbed his head where the pebble hit. "Really?" He growled, but I just shrugged innocently.

"I'm just attempting to follow Geckle Parliamentary procedures," I said, doing my best to hide the fact that I was just looking for an excuse to throw something at him.

Groko, who had been watching the exchange intently, squinted at Kai, his brow furrowed. "What if you're wrong?" His voice was thick with doubt.

Ginkle piped up, looking just as skeptical. "Yeah, how do you know?" He crossed his arms, practically daring Kai to explain himself.

Before Kai could respond, Gulch, who had been silently observing the proceedings, stepped forward with a glint of mischief in his eyes. "We could settle the matter by slug," he said, his voice rising with sudden excitement.

"Slug?" Kai asked, his face a perfect picture of confusion, clearly unsure if he was being mocked or if this was some Geckle tradition. "How do you settle a matter by slug?" He glanced at us, his eyebrows raised.

"Slug racing," Gulch clarified with a grin, clearly delighted by the confusion his statement had caused.

I blinked, trying to process the bizarre idea. "Slug racing? Like, the slimy little creatures?"

Gulch nodded enthusiastically. "Indeed! The Geckles have a long tradition of settling disputes with a slug race. Whoever's slug crosses the finish line first wins the argument."

Kai looked horrified, shaking his head. "What? I'm not racing any slugs!" He looked around as if expecting some kind of explanation that made sense.

Gulch chuckled. "Well, you don't have to race. You just have to believe in the slug! Let it go, and it'll find its way to victory!"
