I loved birds to bits, I have a few books on them, but I have hardly any money to buy those awesome ones, so I entertain myself by thinking these bird based are real. I love how you placed the animation, I always wanted to fly, when I was much younger, my silly friend suggested I wear feathers and nothing else, and starve for 2 days before I fly off. I, being sensible didnt believe. I really like how you placed it, it seemed that this chikadi is filled with nothing but determination, and confidence, and courage. Everything I wish to have, but I don't. Well, I love the green, but it isnt my favourite color, but it is my school uniform color. When I saw Spirit, it reminded me of freedom, the show ice age, and Spirit. They are both popular cartoons, I named this guy Spirit, as it reminds us, that we can fly if we wish too. Not really fly, but.. you get what I mean bro. I was a little surprisd to see this guy here, I mean, well, it is just the start of June, if I win Spirit, his birthday is on 1st of june. My holiday starts on June or 30th of may, something like that. But I have a holiday one month, so it means I am free, and Spirit is going to be free as well.
Pushing himself against the rock, using every single strength. He flapped his wings to try his best, but nothing could push the rock.
" It is hopeless! "
He exclaimed in loud sobs, he heard some bounces and a soft gentle voice,
" Dear cousin, I believe you can push this rock as much as you believe you can fly. "
Spirit turned and faced his cousin, Sora.
"But, how can I fly? "
He questioned curiously and frowned. Sora chuckled, and smiled warmly,
" Reach for the sky.. "
She faded off, he reached out for her with his wings,
" Cousin Sora! No!noooooooo! "
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Spirit awoke with gasps of shock, he look at the big rock which blocked him from going for. Sora's words remained in his mind, " Reach for the sky "
He bounced to the tallest tree, and climbed up, his wings pulling him up. Spirit was nearly up when his wings started to get tired. He should have practiced more at gym for his wings!
He frowned and kept pulling, when he reached the tope. He could hardly believe his eyes, he was up so high. If the wind started blowing east, he would spread his wings and glide.
A big strong wind blew, nearly blowing poor Spirit off,
" could this be it? "
He thought excitedly, but he felt the wind, it was blowing south, if his wings was strong enough, he could flap himsel down to east when they past it.
His stomach was queasy, he quickly decided to do his luck. He took a random branch which had 8 leaves, and started whispering to himself.
" Go, stay, go,stay,go, stay, go, stay! "
He plucked off the last leave and used his left wing to hold one of the tree thick branches to not fly off. He hoped that what he was doing was correct.
Spirit felt the wind slowly die off, he grinned, and tucked his left wing back in. He went right to the back of the branch, and found a small hole, but quite big for him.
He popped in, and got comfortable, it was said that the east wind blew here once once a few days, he was to get ready for a long wait.
He wished that he had not went to the forest to find the wishing fountain, he didn't found it, and heard someone snickering when the big rock was pushed.
He knew from that moment he was pranked, and had tried to push, and somehow managed to fall asleep and dream of his cousin, Sora who always helped him.
Spirit was napping when he felt a strong wind, he was blown out of his hole. He shrieked in surprise and fear, he spreaded out his wings and flapped for all he was worth.
But....
He was too far, he felt the wind, and eyes widdened, this was a west wind, he flapped and flapped to the ground, then he decided to tuck in his wings.
Gravity will make him fall, than not being able to glide, he dropped down, but spreaded his wings to soften the fall. He had passed the stone, and was now able to fly back home.
He bounced and flapped, for once, thinking that he had flown. Spirit was hopping and flying when he knocked into a bear, the bear growled.
" nice doggy.. "
He stammered nervously, the bear pawed the ground and blew out heavily,
" I am a bear, one with sharper teeth than dogs! "
He sneered,
" want to know the difference, I dont like wasting my energy over a small berry like you, but I would like to teach you a nice lesson you will remember.. "
His leer on his face was evil and scary. Spirit shrinked back, and back off,
" Oh no mister bear. I bet a strong handsome bear should be out fighting boxers and wining, but to make yourself noticed first, you need a flyer. And I volunteer to paste them everywhere. "
He said trying his best, the bear rubbed his chin proudly,
" well, you are right. Hand out those flyers. "
He said gruffly trying to sound he did not care much. Spirit grinned and backed off, he scampered off, taking a longer but safer path.
Spirit saw a chikadi soon, selling balloons,
" Balloon dreams! Can you give me 20? "
Balloon dreams smiled,
"Anything for you Spirit! "
She handed over twenty, he tied all to him, and took off, flapped and directing himself to home. As he reached home, he couldn't believe that everyone was at the entrance waiting anxiously.
He landed in the village quietly and bounced over and peered through them,
" what's wrong? "
He asked, everyone turned their heads, as all agreed to be slient to hear, they was ready to scold, but they yasped. Blackberry recovered from the shock quickly.
She screamed in joy, her bunny ears twitching with excitment and joy, she hugged him with her wings smiling,
" oh Spirit! We thought we had lost you! Apple explained everything! "
She exclaimed, Spirit blushed, and grinned, he smiled and hugged her back and sadly had to stop hugging as he had to talk to the others. Well, if you get why he felt like that, he is in love.
Apple came to him,he looked at the ground in shame,
" sorry Spirit... "
Spirit felt like giving a punch, but he saw Blackberry looking, anything for her then.
" apolgy accepted.. "
He chuckled
