In a filthy corner of an old chalet lay the kingdom of Hyrull. The kingdom was filled with old boxes, smelly rubber boots, bottles, magazines dated back on the sixties and other rubbish. There is an old tire resting on top pf a box, from afar it looks like an atoll. The water in it was murky and brown. Lots of decayed insects rest on the bottom of the tire. Not a sound could be heard except for the whisper of the wind that formed ripples on the surface of the water.
There were inhabitants of the kingdom, amidst the clutter, billions of microscopic creatures and big ones too! There were crawling, wiggling, and sticky creatures some with two hind legs and tails for mobility and some without any. The kingdom is free; it has no rulers, no dictators. The inhabitants follow only one law, the law of survival of the fittest. Most of the time, they live in harmony. However, they (especially the bigger creatures) all watched out for the big and hungry toadies, the cannibals of this peaceful kingdom.
There was this one special inhabitant who was different. Since she was a larva she liked the toadies. As a little orphan “kiti-kiti” she had been taken in and raised by a family of toadies. She is known as Felicia. The toadies who raised Felicia were outsiders who migrated to Hyrull from a nearby pond called Aquato.
Felicia’s best friend was a toady named Todd. Todd was definitely bigger than Felicia but has short hind legs and is tailless, and this restricts him to hopping or walking, rather than leaping like what the frogies do, the bigger relatives of the toadies.
One gloomy afternoon, the water of Acquato seemed darker than usual. Felicia decided to drop by at his friend Todd. A gang of toadies were starving and decided to have an eating frenzy before hibernating for the winter and congregating at their sanctuary. They spotted a winged insect and cornered the hapless creature for their dining pleasure. Just then, Todd hopped by and the gang yelled out to him, “Hey, buddy! Wanna join us for dinner?” It was a treat, so he accepted the invitation, but to his horror, he saw that the meal-to-be was his friend, Felicia!
He quickly called the gang of toadies, “Hey guys! Can I have the first bite?” Todd began to act as if he hasn’t eaten for a week. Initially, the others grumbled, but seeing how hungry he looked, they agreed. Todd moved closer to Felicia who was too terrified to look at the predator. He whispered to her, “It’s me, Todd. Don’t worry. I’ll get you out of here.”
In the blink of an eye, Todd extended his tongue and swallowed the fly in one big gulp and hoped away from the gang of toadies as fast as he can. Upon reaching the top of Hyrull, Todd spat out Felicia who almost got stuck from the sticky tongue of Todd, “Man, your breathe stinks like sh*t!” Felicia was gasping.
“Well thank you, and that’s what I get for saving your life?” said Todd.
“Just kidding. Thank you so much friend!”
“I’ll always be here for you when you need help coz you’re worth it, but next time take care of yourself. And stay away from toadies except from me, of course!”
The two watched the sky as the warm and bright sun began to come out. “Thanks again friend,” said Felicia. “Hey, I’ll race you down Hyrull. Last one to finish is a rotten maggot!”
