"Oshworld´s adventure part one (The beginning of something epic)"

By;Fjm

Oshworld, was a young, stupid, Faun. He was also rather chubby, smelly, and most obvious of all, had blue fur. Which, was unlucky for Fauns, as it was a really unattractive color for them. Fauns literally hated it......

 So to be said nicely: Oshworld was a complete reject.

Of course however, as we all know, Fauns are very kind people (if you can really call them people).

This meant that he was accepted, by the pity of their hearts, into the Faun society. His parents didn"t get him put down, and instead, they brought him up as any Faun girl should be. Unfortunately, Oshworld wasn"t a girl, and it wasn"t until five years later, when Oshworld plucked up the courage to tell them, that they realized he was a Faun male.

‘Maybe he’s pretending. A little joke perhaps?’ said Dadvis, Oshworld’s dad said very hopefully.

It was a warm summers day and Oshworld and his parents were in their house. The news about Oshworld being a boy had just been broken.

‘No, no, I am a boy, trust me!’ Replied Oshworld keenly, burping as he said it.

Both Dadvis, and Uuuu (Oshworld’s mother) looked at him in disgust at the burp he had done; It had been both loud and weird sounding. There was an awkward silence that lingered, like the smell of his burp, which didn"t help things.

Oshworld smiled back innocently and then Uuuu spoke.

‘Well, this isn"t such a problem,’ (it was), ‘ we’ll just have to start teaching you how to be a man!’

From that day on, Oshworld was taught by his father how to do manly stuff. The problem was, Oshworld wasn’t very good at physical work and so after years of gradual learning, Oshworld, was still, a nasty black dot (well blue actually), on the faun society,

Dadvis knew that Oshworld would never get a real job in the Faun society and so he made one up for him. He called it tree keeping. What Oshworld would do, would be to walk around and talk to all the trees, making sure they were happy. This is how, Oshworld ended up as, a Tree keeper........

(This is were the good stuff begins.)

It was a hot summers day, similar to the day, almost ten years ago, when he gender incident had come up. Most people were in their houses, trying to cool down, or others, mainly children, were out in the lake swimming. Up by a small group of beautiful and large trees, Oshworld sat on the ground singing to his trees that were behind him, keeping them company.

‘Trees! Trees! Oh look you trees. I sing a song for you, you know. Yes for you, oh do, oh la de la de new. I sing, oh do bring, me joy by saying to you like my song. Speak, you don’t speak. You silly tree, you silly fee.....’ and on and on he sung, in a horrible out of pitch voice, singing words that didn"t even exist.

Then, a muffled voice, saying something hard to make out, came from behind Oshworld. It was as deep, and calm voice, which made Oshworld gasp in shock.

‘Hello!’ shouted Oshworld, standing up, but not turning round, and not really knowing what he was doing.

‘Hello.’ Replied the voice.

Oshworld then turned round. In front of him was nothing but the few trees he had been singing to. How curious he thought. Squinting his eyes, he peered through the trees, in search for the one who had spoke.

Nothing was said for a few seconds, and all that could be heard was the birds singing and the dim noise of children playing far away. Then, as sudden as the hello had come, the same voice spoke again. Well, it was actually more of a shout and laugh. But anyway, with tremendous volume the voice bellowed out ‘Hehehheeh! Hahahae! HOOOOO!’

Oshworld yelped, ran, tripped over and yelped again. It turned quite, the laughter stopped. Then like a blast of great fire coming from a dragon, the one laughing voice, which started up again, was joined with many.

Too scared to stand up, Oshworld used his cunning and started to roll away from where the noises were coming from. He praised himself greatly for being so smart, and now that he had escaped he would go home and eat; of course, he would have to keep rolling to get there, he didn’t dare stand up and reveal his (all to visible) unseeable position, and so he kept rolling away, along the increasingly steep land.

However, Oshworld didn"t get very far away, for the land got so steep that rolling was impossible. He lay there, perfectly still, and closed his eyes. His logic was, and it made some sense, that if he couldn"t see the people who had scared him, they wouldn"t be able to see him.

‘Ingenious.’ He muttered to himself, and then alarmingly quickly, he drifted off into a deep sleep.

When Oshworld awoke, many hours later, he found himself in a clearing, surrounded on all sides by a kind looking forest. In the middle of the clearing, near where he was now sitting, there was a small pool, which radiated out blissful amounts of heat which spread out, warming the whole glade. Little sunlight penetrated through the tall and dense trees all around, and Oshworld thought it gave the clearing a relaxing feel. Looking around, he saw many of the tress bore wondrous fruits, that he had never seen before. Around the stumps of the trees, and dotted around the grass covered earth, there were also many beautiful flowers, which gave off attractive scents, which made Oshworld start snorting heavily, trying to smell all the different aromas more clearly. Oshworld, not thinking clearly, in a kind of trance, started to sluggishly walk around on the spot. ‘Woops!’ He barley said, as he slipped over on the warm ground near the pool. The grass was quite tall here, and softened his trip so that he didn"t feel a thing. ‘Ohhhh!’ He replied in delight at not being hurt like he normally did when he fell over.

He sat where he fell, admiring the place he had ended up in. How did he get here? Maybe he had died and his was heaven? He thought back to the last thing he had remembered, which would be him......Which would be him fleeing from the loud voices, he remembered at last, after ten minuets of pondering. Most curious he thought.

Maybe he was dead then........... Although, an alternative theory stood. Say the laughing voices had caught up with him as he was trying to escape from them, and then they bonked him on the head....then, it could be that he wasn"t  dead and he had just been ‘bonked’ and he fell unconscious. In-fact, he did remember shutting his eyes and all going blank!

‘Aha!’ he accidentally shouted at him sussing out what had happened. He quickly checked around to make sure nobody heard his apparent random call out. Then, thinking he would have plenty of time to look for a way out of the forest that surrounded him, he jumped into the deliciously warm water, enjoying every second of its luxurious heat.

‘An interesting character, thought I"m not sure he’s the right one.’ Said an onlooker, who was hidden on the outskirts of the glade.

‘He is, he’s blue isn"t he?’ said a figure next to the first.

‘But, look at him! Does he look like he is capable.....,’ as the first figure spoke again, Oshworld tried to get out of the pool, but slipped and fell backwards back into the waters, ‘.....for what we ask?’

‘I believe that the answer is yes, he is capable. But it will take time."

‘Then,’ Said the first one, getting ready to move, ‘ We will have to introduce ourselves.’

Both the figures moved out of cover, and into the light of day. Oshworld who had been blowing bubbles underwater, arose with a delighted smile on his face. Then, looking out of the water, his eyes caught sight of two large shapes, and a horrified scream came out of his mouth.......
