The Ballad of Proteus

This is my take on Proteus's backstory. Of course it is in my TTTE humanized au, so a few things would be different compared to the show. It takes place on the Skarloey Railway, somewhere around the late 1800s. Proteus learns a lot throughout his childhood, and discovers many things he does not understand. I'm not happy with how this turned out, so it may be rewritten one day, but I had to write it for an English project. Apologies if it is too difficult to read, I know I should've done spacing with single lines, but it would have made too many pages, and I read larger paragraphs a lot better. I'm just going to let you know ahead of time, I gave up near the end, so the pacing is obviously a lot more rushed, and the story stops being coherent. It was around 3 am when I decided to just finish the story somehow, there was a lot I wanted to add, a lot I needed to add, but I just couldn't. Maybe one day. I am very fond of these characters, and they do mean a lot to me, so treat this like a rough draft or a base for the big, final picture, when I finally bring everything together. (Model sheets for the characters may come soon. I just wanted to publish the story already).
