Episode 1 The Village of Nada
Episode 1 The Village of Nada
Night comes and today the chief talks to our mother Gaia to bless us with a bountiful crop and sustainable blessing on the land. The Star dance festival. The night where we dance, party, and enjoy ourselves. I wake up from my nap and go to the bathroom. Brush my short fur and teeth. Put on my best attire and walk into the kitchen to get the star festive basket. I pray to my mother and father’s picture and leave a new flower i created. Walking out, I look at the big purple moon today filled with strength and power and walk to the down town village. The smell of the air glistening, walking over the bridge and waving at the troll under it, throwing him a leg of cooked lamb for good tithing. As I reach the village, I see the lovely decorations for the festivity and all the people enjoying their time. Taking pictures with their cell phones, dancing, drinking, and fucking in the corners. The witches use their magic to tell their stories and give mysticism and wonder. And the people trying to look at the stars turn off their light in the village.
I place my basket with the rest of the gifts for Mother Gaia. As we stay in the dark and let the moon and stars be are light, the chief hiss to us. His voice brings forth command over all of us. His voice breathes so much soul into us... His secretary leads him to the center. He touches the offerings and smiles. As he slithers to the center, to speak.
Babatunde: my children, friends, my FAM. I thank you for coming to our 100-star festivals. It was here at this very spot where I and my friend had established this village. A bunch of gypsy kings founded the very place for the next generation to live. We fought some terrible monster in the war, who poisoned our water’s, starved us, and called us beast filthy supes. Yet after all that sorrow and pain, we are still standing; I want to tell the next generation to do better than us, not let hate guide you, but let exploration and peace bring you good fortune. Gaia has given us strength and happiness to live this long to see this new present state. Now let’s watch the stars and dance for Mother Gaia as she blesses us with her strength.
The beast howls the witches sparkle their magic; the shadows jump as we enjoy our moments. We drink and party as the moon and stars shine over us. I drink and dance myself with so much glee.
Carlos: well look at your mutha-fukin ass, still out dancing those pixies as usual
I’m grabbed and kissed passionately by Carlos. He rubs my tails and touches my hips and ass so good. But What you expect with a Cerberus.
Benjamin: EWWW you always so aggressive never playful
Davi: but I love it when Ricardo wags his tail fast, gets me turned on. oh you, remember that time.
Benjamin: you mean when we fucked in the back of the ice cream truck because it was 109 that day? Man, the snowwoman was not happy with us, she almost freeze us to death.
Carlos: Really, you two.
Ricardo: it’s been a year since you left to work with the big wig up north as A what you called it palace guard.
Carlos: not just palace guard, lead commander of the squad Halo
Richardo: I saw on the news. You help find those kids who got their souls snatched up by the puppet demons,
Carlos: yeah I lost two people on my squad that day. Meeka and Bruce were good people you would of like them.
Richardo: so what the visit for you miss the small country life
Carlos: no I’m here to be the defender for the chief.
He said he saw something in his vision, something that moved him to his core.
Richardo pulls Carlos away from the crowd.
Benjamin: hey what’s the big idea?
Davi: oh no Richardo has that face. You know, the face.
Richardo: you bet your sweet ass now you three out with it, what did the chief tell you. Because although everything feels nice, your presence being here make more since. Speak, you three.
Carlos removes Richardo’s grip from his collar.
Carlos: nothing much the old man told us. He just said that he saw a silent gray man with no face. Then those monsters and one sitting on a goddam throne. The old man was shock, so he ask my commanding officer Hilda to let me come back. Nothing more nothing less.
Before I could say anything, the star shower begins, the scene was so beautiful that I forgot to ask for more info.
Benjamin: what a lovely site it’s nice to come back home
Davi: the city wish it could beat, country magic, you know.
Carlos: you’re right on that bro.
As the star shower increase the town dance with joy. The ground shakes and energy glistens us all with power. We are blessed, being filled with Gaia’s raw energy, a huge star falls into the dangerous section of the forest. But Stars never fell in this area. My vision begins to fades, I hear a voice. Saying, child, follow the star. My vision return, I hear the village losing their shit. The witches are using their magic to create a force field to protect the villagers from the stars that fall. Panic ensue and I try their best to keep the falling stars from hitting the village.
Carlos, Benjamin, Davi Howl
Carlos: thank bros
Davi, Benjamin: no problem
Carlos: listen up everyone. I need you all to calm down. I know the stars falling around us, this have never happened. But right now try to stay calm and focus.
Davi: yeah we Cerberus Children of Gaia, will do everything to protect the village. Please try to calm down. Witches converge your magic into one unified barrier. I love yo quick creative minds but we I need you to focus your energy on strengthen the barrier with your power and use that creative flare to give it better look as well.
Benjamin: ladies tend to the people with music and relaxation and get a head count who’s all here. Chief, how are you feeling
Babatunde: No worries child, I and the secretary are ok. I feel Richardo is.
I look around to see Richardo is gone.
Barmaid: Carlos, we accounted for everyone here except
Carlos: Got it. Davi, you take control
Davi: you sure
Carlos: you’re the hunter here. Use what Gaia has given you, so take control.
Davi: oh cool let me do my thang and let’s find our friend, shall we?
I take control and change are fur color from black/red to yellow/white. It’s been a minute being the lead of this body, but it’s like riding a bicycle. I call forth my power called slight bite. Close my eyes and chomp the air. There are so many scent, but Richardo is always a coming-back home smell. I show my bros a model of what happened. We watch us do our thing with the townspeople. We see Richardo, ear twitch and him putting his hands over his eyes. It looks like he was about to faint. He’s running on all fours to the forest dangerous zone. Where the star fell.
Davi: Hmm, why he
Carlos forced me out, and my brother is back in control of are main body
Carlos: sorry bro, we need to go now
I run on all fours and hope Richardo’s curiosity doesn’t get him killed.
As we pursue, I pray that he’s not in any danger because in that forest, it’s no joke.
As I go deeper into the forest zone, I see the lake of kelpie horses swimming and lurking, but they dare not mess with a child of Gaia. I use my Gaia gift of flora support to ask the forest for guidance. Connecting with the tree, it reveals the location of the star by using its roots bound with the other trees in the forest. I ask the trees if it’s organic or inorganic, friend or foe. They cannot answer. Told me to go see for myself. I thank the tree and kiss its branch. Walking through the forest, seeing the beast kill for dominance, watching an unsuspected person get killed by a ghoul. I paused as the Ghoul smelled the air it backed away. You have your prey, so leave my site I said in my head. It drags the poor child back to its den where I see 20 green eyes glow through the shadow.
Enter deeper into the forest was doom and gloom but became bright and glorious. A field of gorgeous flowers of all different colors and unique designs that never even exist. As I walk deeper, I see a bundle of flowers covering something in the ball. Must be the star. I asked the flowers if it would be alright they let me see the star that fell. Shaking with such vigor, repeating the word protect. From what I ask, they bellow as I block the attack and threw the being far. The creature lands and pops its neck. Of course a grave robber second form of the ghoul. It enjoys collecting anything in a grave. Why are they here? The way these flowers are wrapped resembles a buried corpse... I ask the flowers to release the star but they yell no they will get attacked. Gaia said, protect, we protect. Ahh Gaia command it. The star is important, alright I’m game to play. It’s just one grave digger, easy to. Well, shit, more start popping from the ground. Shit, this will be a workout. One throws his shovel. I summon a root to grab it and launch it back at him, impaling the creature to the ground and killing it. Well, that piss them off.
Two more attack my side. I call forth a Minnie tree sprouts to give them both two haymakers and a body slam, one of them while I snap the other neck. I summon a giant tree root to grab the Minnie tree sprout and swing it around as a club knocking these idiots out, hearing them hitting the ground as their bones break sounds nice. Especially when they’re one of their kind killed my mother. All of them can fuck off. I take some flowers from the ground and throw them like ninja stars. Cutting them while watching the other fall to the ground. So many keep coming. I hear a huge horn. It doesn’t affect me, but it explodes the grave digger’s head right off. I turn around and see its Carlos. He rushes to me and hugs and strokes my head.
Carlos: dude are you OK? When I saw the grave diggers I got worried.
I push Carlos off me
Richardo: I didn’t ask for your help. I can take care of myself. The flora supporter is my gift, after all.
Carlos: right, sorry, I was just worr-.
He’s growling with fury, and his brothers try their best to take control. They’re doing their best to hold him back, but from what? I hear the voice from the flowers. They are gone please protect the star. Please protect it. I look back to see and smell, that wondrous smell my fears and joy are creeping in me. The monster is back, the smell of a human is back, and this is not good.
I hear his brothers yelling.
Davi/Benjamin: please calm down, please.
Carlos: get off me
He gains control and lunges himself right at the monster. Carlos summons a hammer to smash the creature. I block him by summoning a tree. The look of pure rage on his face. As He swings his hammer at me. And grabs me by the throat. He’s so quick and is way bigger than me.
Carlos: have you lost your mind? This infectious beast needs to die? You know what his kind is. Monsters. They hunted us, called us weak. They tried to wipe us out. Why
Richardo: the chief told us to let go are hatred and to move forward with are life as the next genre
He throws me, impales both my arms with tridents. I can hear his brother screaming at him
Davi: you hurt Richardo have you lost yo mind
Benjamin: come on bro this is not ok or fun. We understand what happened that day, but this monster has nothing to
Carlos: shut up. If one of their kind is here, who knows what or how many came through the stars? These monsters need to stay nothing more than stories.
I see him pulling out a cannon to finish the monster. He aims for the head. His brothers trying to take control but his will was too strong. A smirk on Carlos’ face. As the cannon charges. He’s hit with a huge flower punch out of nowhere. An explosion of flower petals knocks him down, but he lands on his feet... The petals swirl around him, giving him tiny cuts making the Brothers bleed out enough to make him unconscious.
A woman pulls the tridents from my arms and floats the young man into my arms. He is so tiny, like cradling a baby. She flicks her hands and has transported Carlos away. To where I have no clue, and she transports me, to my amazement, inside my home. I put the tiny monster in my bed and cleaned my wounds. I go into my top shelf and pull out my best fucking alcohol. And drink. What the fuck is going on here? The monster was the star. Does that mean are they alive and how many more are out there? And what is he here for? And why does he smell so good and look so damn cute? Stop thinking with your dick and focus. He’s a monster and we need to know what he is here for. Also, we need to keep this under wraps.
I walk up to him and drink down my Minnie bottle of Hades. I lay right next to him, my tail wagging. This monster gives off an energy I never felt in my life since Mother was alive. My eyes are heavy. Hey Monster, you good or bad? Cause I rather not kill you. I close my eyes and dream a delightful dream about a man gardening. He walks up to me pats me on the head and tells me, here’s your treat, good boy. I eat the treat and wag my tail with such joy. He pats me and says time for you to grow up.
