The Piktish Guide to Wildlife
Mission #PA1
The Pikt Archipelago is home to several strange and wonderful species, but the issue is that some of them are endangered! Worried about the sake of the archipelago's ecosystem, the Clan Council have commissioned your group to find evidence of three of the island's rarest creatures; the Piktish Wildcat, the Blue Falcon, and the Aeroch. Just be careful, there are poachers and other ferocious animals lurking in the forests!
*East side of The Pikt Archipelago*
It was a warmer day for the Archipelago, the sun was shining brightly through the thick blanket of snow clouds.*Flashback* It had only been two weeks since Otto had arrived on the Archipelago he had once called home. On arrival he was shocked to see his old place of residence, the Dojo in which he was raised, was beaten by time and the elements. And the strangely enough that a pack of Blue Gorilla had inhabited its remains. Strange only because in his whole childhood he had never seen a Blue Gorilla on any part of the Archipelago. After a week long stand of Otto discovered that they were only using the abandoned Dojo because there "leader" was injured. Otto appeals to the beast and ends up helping them aid the fallen leader, whom Otto now refers to as "Big Blue". The young man known as Otto Saix and the pack of Blue Gorilla have been living together since that day, which brings us back to today... The falling snow resembling crystals shimmering as the light hit them. And if one didn't know any better you could swear you saw a patch of sun flowers in the distance. Otto awoke as he had every other day since he had been here. At peace. He sat on the floor of what was once his room and meditates for the first hour of his day. He then begins his morning workout regiment, which ends with a run down to the shore and back. Till this point he still felt great about this day. Until he arrived back to the Dojo. He stops from a fast passed sprint, placing his hands on his knees, tucked over catching his breath. Otto breathes in and out opening his eyes as stands up right. The walls were tattered and even had holes in certain spots. The garden was dead and frozen over due to the last major storm. And the roof was leaking in more places then he could count. This place is a dump, he thought to him self as he slowly walked into the Dojo. As he walks in two of the youngest Blue Gorilla come rolling by his feet fighting, breaking the little bit of furniture that remained. Otto sighs and continues to walk into the kitchen, starving from his morning workout. In the middle of the he sees the other two older Blue Gorilla eating the last of the food he had brought with him to Pikt. Otto sigh's once more, his head drops and he begins to walk to his room. As he reaches his door the two younger blue's come rolling back towards him, knocking into him, and breaking down his room door in the process.
"AHHHHHhhhhhh!" Otto lets out a large scream as he jumps into their fight, grabbing the older blue in a head lock while pushing the younger blue back with his other hand. The smaller one slips through and tackles Otto to the ground causing him to let go of the older blue. The three become engulfed in a three way battle in the middle of their new home. The commotion causing the other two that were in the kitchen to come and watch. Stuffing their faces as the howled and banged on the floor as if rooting for one side or another. As the fight got to its worst moment all three parties charging at each other "Big Blue" came into the corridor, still weak from its injuries, and let out a blood curdling howl. Stopping all four of the Blue Gorilla and even Otto in their tracts. "We can't live like this" says Otto turning his head towards "Big Blue". "This Dojo is trashed, c'mon theres holes in the wall. Were all out of food, and now MY FREAKING DOOR IS BROKEN!!!. If were gonna stay here and your going to get better we need to fix this place. We need money for food. And most importantly we need to TRAIN." "Big Blue" walks up to Otto and lets out another howl causing the other four Blue Gorilla to quickly start picking up the ransacked Dojo. The oldest handing Otto a half eaten banana as he walks past him. Otto takes an oversized bite consuming the whole thing, nodding his head in thanks to the blue and following him in cleaning up the mess they have created. After cleaning the entire Dojo of debris Otto knew he would have to go into town to get the tools and resources to fix the Dojo. They all sat on the floor exhausted as there stomach's growled at each others, one louder then the next. Otto stands and walks to his room to retrieve his bag. Then reaches in and grabs a bushel of bananas, throwing it to the Blue Gorilla. " I was saving them in my room incase I had to leave but since ill be staying here might as well eat em' " he says. The four blues snatch at the bushel as "Big Blue" lets out a slight snarl, straighten each one of them out instantly. The pack sett down the bushel and separated them calmly. Otto smiles and walks up to "Big Blue" tossing her, her own bushel. Otto walks out of the Dojo smiling at his new makeshift family. "I'm going into town ill be back soon don't worry" he says. Otto walks away from the Dojo towards the closest people he knew of the McLeod Clan. He knows the only way to fix the Dojo was money and money required a job. He would go to the town in search of a job for now.
