Floo's Journey - One Nichleing Finding his Purpose


Applesauce

Recommended Posts

Speaking of Nunu, he's decided to take a break from hunting and try something new.

He's going down to the beach to pursue his passion as a beachboy! Or something like that in his world. It might just be his father's side, but really just wants to eat some calms. Plus he's bored of all this grass gathering.

Meanwhile Floo goes back and tries to talk to the tall buggy creature again. He apoligizes for being rule before but no dice. He's even starting to think that it might not be a creture at all. Just a tall mound of dirt. Crazy, right?

When he's done he heads back towards the tree where Akari waits. 

'I can't open this nut!' She tells him. 'How do you do this!?'

Floo encourges her but still, no crack.

At the beach Nunu is disapointed to find no clams. Very sad.

Oh but what could this be? He see's some blueish grass, topped with some bramble and weeds unlike any ground on this island.

He steps onto the port and is greated by a scary sight. Tis a skull hanging ominously from a tall, jagged rock. He feels like he should say hello, but he decides he doesn't want the spirits after him.

In the morning she leads Floo over to a quiet spot behind the tree.

She clears away the grass. She knows he's getting weaker and that today could be his last.

In a short time, Nunu joins them. Though eager to tell them about the port he'd found, his enthusiasm dissipates when he sees Akari's face. It's time.

They stay by his side the whole day.

Akari and Floo trade stories of their travels well into the afternoon. The two share a lot in common. Maybe if they new eachother in their younger years they could have started a nice family.

When she doozes off to sleep he picks berries with Nunu. He couldn't think of a better way to spend a day. 

Nunu holds in a sniff 'I know you'll miss me,' Says Floo. 'But you won't be sad forever. I know you can get passed this because there are better things waiting you.' 

Nunu squeezes him, his tears evaporating onto his strange green fur. 'Thanks for always being there.' Floo hugs him back.

Though he knows his time has come, Floo is happy. He's surronded by his good friend and nephew who care for him very much.

Under a large, green tree,

On a peacful little island in the middle of a great blue ocean.

And as he closes his eyes for the very last time,

He knows he would have it no other way

Honestly I think its wonderful - sad and wonderful. The ending sequence, where you gradually zoom out is very beautiful, and the story has come to a beautiful end. An ending needs to fits its story, and this is a perfect fit. Love it.

Thank you so much. I think this meme I stole from pancakes homethread perfectly captures how I feel about your guy’s support on this playthrough.

Night comes and goes, and with morning comes a somber, steady drizzle.

After leaving their friend with all the flowers and berries they could find, Nunu takes Akari to the port. When they get there, Akari looks at him and places her paw upon his shoulder.

This is something he must do alone.

Nunu steps onto the port, the jungle brush soft against his paws and the wind cold in his mane.

He looks back at Akari and the island one last time. She gives him a warm, assuring smile as they wave their goodbyes.

Nunu looks across the ocean. He is scared. Espcially without his uncle to guide him, but he knows in his heart he is ready.

And slowing but surely he starts on his journey, taking the first steps across the ocean and into the rest of his life.

The End.

Letter of Appreciation

Sorry to hear I made y’all feel something. I know I said it before but I’ll say it again, thank you all so much for reading. I can be very insecure about writing, and your words have really helped me get over that dread. I even started making an outline for a comic I’ve been thinking about for months. Plus it helped me get over 20 pages of story. So in a way, you guys were part of the making.

In short, I just glad you all enjoyed it.
