♦Lokki and Rasmus♦


 Lokki  and Rasmus belongs to me.

Location : Fellfang, North Old Fyrebringer.


Timeline : Late spring.


Text in French version   -

After his first attempt at sea fishing -which was unsuccessful, we will not lie- Lokki was not discouraged by returning to the shore north of Old Fyrebringer. A quiet little corner that Lokki loved more and more for its wild side and seaside. A cool wind was blowing that day, and a bright sun made swimming even more pleasant. He knew Sheru wouldn't always be there to save him, and he had been very lucky that his friend was there the last time. But it was like that, Lokki really wanted to learn how to swim and be able to catch some fishs. He didn't understand why this obsession was coming into his head, but the thought of going to the ocean put him in a good mood. In addition, there was less and less prey to catch in the forest, and Lokki saw that the huge fishs in the sea would be a safe source of food for all of his fellow Skulds. He was sure he had seen a real sea monster go by the other day. A fish as big as a wild boar ! Lokki didn't even know a fish this size was possible. Or maybe he had dreamed, the sun is beating strong right now. Even a tiny crab looks gigantic in this murky water.

The golden wolf took courage with his two paws, and ventured into the water. He had to learn how to swim before going any further, he stayed in an area where the water reached on his chest, not higher. He didn't realize how ridiculous he looked, trying to swim like a puppy. His legs and front paws were hitting the water like a reel. He was splashing around him. But he wasn't making much headway, and that scared all the fishs around more than anything else.

“I don't think Sheru swims that way,” Lokki muttered, moving in a ridiculous way in the water. Suddenly, a black bolt of lightning struck him and plunged like a stake into the water. Its was so fast, that Lokki barely had time to see something. Four small, fleeing fish had just been caught by this strange black thing.

I don't think a single wolf here swims like this,” the voice of the black lightning rose. He seemed to be enjoying the unlikely scene.

Lokki stood up immediately, a little ashamed. He turned his head towards a gray granite boulders behind him. A curious black and white bird was watching him, perched on the top. The four fish between its webbed feet. It was small enough, Lokki could eat it in one bite if he wanted. But this strange bird didn't seem to be afraid of him.

I had never seen a bird like you. You are a bird ... eh? I just saw you swim. You can't be a fish, you don't look like it." Lokki approached him, looking puzzled. It was the first time he had seen a little penguin. It was a bird made for diving and swimming in the sea. His feathers were not like those of the crows he sometimes saw in the Weald.

“My name is Rasmus. I am a Razorbill, a sea bird. I live on the beach. Well, I spend most of my time there. What about you, where do you come from ? The wolf pack that lives here is made up of very good swimmers, of reputation. I don't think you're one of them." The bird descended from his perch to approach Lokki. He walked awkwardly, he limped a bit with his webbed fingers. Lokki seemed disturbed by this behavior. Usually, small animals like this would run away when they saw him, with fear in their stomachs. It must be said that Lokki had become a big predator in the area, because he killed a lot of animals to feed his pack. But that bird was small. There wouldn't be enough to feast on him.

I am Lokki, a Fellfangir, I belong to their pack. But ... You are not wrong. I was not born here. I grew up in a dry, warm place with no forests. Water was scarce and hard to find. It’s the first time I’ve seen the ocean since I’ve been here. I arrived last winter. I was very scared of this mass of salty water before. And then I started to approach it to find fish. I can't swim, but I want to go back. I must be crazy. Do you think I'm crazy for wanting to get back to the bottom of this incredible water? ”

Lokki had turned to the ocean as he spoke. He was gazing at the horizon with large shining eyes.

“It’s the magic of the ocean. I spend my days there. It’s the best place in the world. ” says the bird. “There are treasures in the ocean, shining stones, seashells. I picked up a lot with my companion. We like to stack them on the beach. If you want, I'll show you how to find them, we'll both trade seashells. And I also happen to be one of the best swimmers around. Believe me, wolves don't swim as fast as I do. If you want a good teacher! ”

Will you teach me to swim… for real? But why would you do that? The ocean looks awesome, I would love to go if you think you can help me swim. Do you think I could swim like a bird too? ” This offer sounded too good to be true for Lokki.

“Usually birds like me swim in groups to catch fish. Like wolves, we hunt in packs. Except that we do this to protect ourselves from marine predators. When we're in a group, they can't catch us. With your help, I could catch fish safely, and you can bring fish back to your pack. Are you in? ”

“I… I'm a hunter on the ground, I couldn't go looking for fishs every day. It's just a bonus food that I'm trying to bring back. At the moment, there are some not so cool things happening on our earth. There are no longer the animals that we usually catch to eat. The sea is above all an emergency solution before famine. But I'm willing to help you to find some fish if I can ... But without being intrusive. Why are you all alone? Where are the others of your kind? Why would you need a wolf to help you catch fish? "

Lokki had just asked a painful question. The bird looked at his feets sadly. He seemed to hesitate to answer.

“My mate is at sea at the moment. I'm waiting for him, but until then, I have no one to catch fish with. And I'm starting to get hungry. The little sardines that I just caught thanks to you will help me hold on a little longer."

“Is he long gone? Can't you just wait for him to come back and fish with him? " Lokki wondered.

“Actually… I've been waiting for him for over a week. I believe ... I believe he won't come home."
