Prompt:
Ollie smiled at the fathering of lambies around them. "I know, I know, you want your story! Well I promised to tell you how and why I became the Guardian of the Lost did I not? Well, would you believe it was because once I myself was lost?" He paused, just long enough to let the younger lambies gasp, shake their heads, or like one stick out their tongue in disbelief. "I see you think I am lying eh? Well, this story takes place long ago... back when I was about your age really. I was about... oh this tall?" They added, lowering a paw closer to them with a wink.
"Anyways, my friends and I went camping of all things, in the woods. You see we were all outdoors sorts, so we knew a lot about camping! It was not our first time either! So we were all excited, and stayed up late telling each other stories before finally almost everyone fell asleep. All but me, you see. I could hear this strange sound, this song... and I was curious! So crawling out of my nest I followed it! Not my smartest move, I know." They sigh out, shaking their head before continuing.
"I followed, and followed... but never found the source of the song. But I did discover I had lost my way, in the woods on a darkened night. I was TERRIFIED. But then I remembered... look to the North Star. It will guide you home, since it always shows where North is! So I started back, hopeful. Along the way, I discovered that there were other lost creatures however. I consoled those I could, kept them company as we walked. A stray bug, a bird... you'd be surprised how many end up lost. But you know what? That star? It led me home eventually. My friends were still fast asleep, thank goodness nobody knew of my misadventures! But I knew, and it changed me."
"You see, I want to be that north star for other lost lambies, or birds, or bugs, or whoever loses their way. To show them they are not alone, and with a shoulder to lean on? Home can be found once more."
