Oh heavens! I had never seen a mammal so enormous, so detached, and so alienated from this cruel world. Heretofore, mammals of a similar appearance would see me as mere food, or use me to keep their foul scented necks warm in the blistering cold winters. Usually, on hearing the sound of the two legged mammal approaching, I would have quickly fled to a place of hiding, yet I felt a strange aurora flowing within this oddly shaped mammal that did not give me any sense of fear. Being intrigued by my new finding, I had chosen to follow, to seek a new adventure, I knew not whether the mammal before me knew of my presence, but it preceded nethertheless.
It was bright, and the scent of the nature surrounding was a sign that spring had approached. My mammal looked as if it had not seen such a thing, I could sense the happiness within its gentle, kind heart, and I watched as it stumbled over its own legs at the sight of beauty before its huge yellow eyes. A strange thing happened and water leaked out of its eyes as, what I recall seeing, it held its head back gracefully taking in the atmosphere that also left me breathless.
I followed, we continued across the woods, I continued above, out of sight amongst the leaves and branches. The greenery was beautiful, the sun burst through the gaps within the leaves shining on the mammal, showing colours of the patch-like skin that it presents. Here we paused, the mammal looked as if confused, I listened to the rapid river, running fast, and complimented with a clean fresh odour. I watched as my mammal fled in fear from the sound of another two legged mammal, one much smaller in scale than the one that I so secretly followed. Its actions alarmed me, why would one hide from the same species? Usually, a larger scaled mammal should bring fear to the smaller? The little mammal fell into the angry river, my mammal with great speed, rushed and saved it, reviving it back to animation. I was not surprised by the actions that had been taken; my mammal is nothing but kind and appreciative of its surroundings. Another two legged man ran at high speed and snatched the smaller one from my mammal’s arms, as if my mammal was going to feed on the little one. I found this action to be strange, are not mammals of the same species supposed to help one another? It became a chase, my mammal followed the other two at great speed, and again I followed above, watching this scene at a wider angle. The sound of thunder rang in my ears, I thought it was after me, the sound kills my species, draws out their life, but when I had regained myself I noticed my mammal was stumbling on the floor. A new aurora possessed my mammal, one of hatred, anguish, revenge. This brought fear into my system, the mammal soon lost its animation.
I watched the mammal for a while, before meddlesomeness overpowered my brain. I haltingly retired from my branch and landed next to its body, I looked around for predators then drew attention to the great mass before me. A great odour overwhelmed me, something so ghastly, foul and revolting, a scent that I only smell on the body of a friend when life had escaped from its body. How could another mammal harm such a kind being? Even in slumber, despite the anger I felt earlier on, gentleness leaks from the heart.
On decision that my mammal needs rest, I then retired back to my habitation and watched as the days went by. The mammal frequently drew attention to the whole in its body, rubbing leaves and other substances on the wound for possible healing assistance. I watched as hatred plastered the face of kindness. I often wondered why its species have rejected it, treated it with such cruelty, I wondered why it was so alone, empty and with no place to call home. I wondered what its intentions were, and why was it going along this road in such tremendous weather and not stopping to create a habitation, to find a mate? Maybe it lost its mate, and wanted to find it?
One evening, the mammal slowed down to rest, I rested on a branch overhead. From closely observing the mammal it looked as if thinking, planning something, perhaps this was the area for which he shall build his home; it was an intriguing place, close to a large stone from which other two legged mammals claimed as their habitation. The sun began to sink behind the horizon.
It was then, I head rustling of leaves, and a small mammal was approaching with speed and laughter, I could sense kindness within it. The larger mammal from which I had been following raised and approached the smaller mammal, maybe a possible friend for my lonely mammal.
