Finally, I made it. I made this story with my OC, Hermogenes Borra. This event happened before and during the movie, Sherlock Gnomes. Hi there, readers!
When I watch other Sherlock Holmes shows, like Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd century, The Great Mouse Detective, and Sherlock Gnomes, and when I discovered that Aggie is always been my favorite and famous OC, I was thinking I should make some changes, starting by making my own version of 'Sherlock Gnomes' with my other OC, Hermogenes Borra, a human with plain insect-like fairy wings.
Like Aggie, Borra was a interdimensional traveler, and belongs to the same human home world where Aggie lives, but their wings are different from each other. Aggie's wings have lace, while Borra has none, but they both have the same shape of their wings.
Borra's first story is my Great Mouse Detective fanfiction 'A mouse detective, a mouse doctor, and a human mouse." This story is his third story. The second story contained flashbacks in my Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd century fanfiction 'Friendship returns in the 22nd century.
I don't own Sherlock Gnomes or anything, just my OC, Hermogenes Borra or Gnomogenes Borra.
Enjoy!
Hermogenes Borra arrived in another world of London. This London isn't exactly like the other two worlds he visited.
He came to this world to clear his head from guilt. He felt so guilty, he couldn't tried to save his friend from falling at the Reichenbach Falls. Not even his magic can help him since he was still in-training. Despite of having insect/fairy-like wings, he never learned how to use them nor fly. He also tried to warn his two friends that bad luck might happen to them when his wings twisted and bended themselves. It's like they have a mind of their own. But then, it truly happened.
He thought one of his friends is gone, so he decided to go to another world for some air.
Suddenly, he heard a snapped, coming from the bushes. Borra gasped as he hid quickly behind a bush at the other side. When he hid there, he slowly and slightly spread the leaves of the bushes to see who was out there. He saw two garden gnomes came out from the bushes.
"I think I heard something from that bush." Gnome #1 pointed Borra's bush.
"Let's go there and check it out." Gnome #2 suggested.
Borra began to panic as sweat formed on his forehead. He didn't know what to do. If the gnomes saw him, the jig is up. Then, he realized he has a magic wandstaff. He can change in any form whatever he wants. He knew what he will going to do or to transform, just hopping it will work.
When the two gnomes pushed the bush aside in half, they saw nothing but a gnome with wings, holding a book and a 'stick'.
"Uhh, hi." Borra, in his gnome form by transformation spell, greeted the two gnomes.
"Oh, it's just another gnome." Gnome #1 sighed, "What are you doing here this late at night?"
"I… uh…" Borra was too nervous to speak. He's new in this world, "I'm just strolling around."
"You can't stroll around out here. Humans might see you. They're dangerous." Gnome #2 warned.
The human gnome was quite hurt when the gnomes said that humans are dangerous. It reminded him of one of his old friends had said that when his secret was discovered.
"You better go home where you'll be safe." Gnome #2 said, "We should go."
Before the gnomes got far, Gnome #1 warned him one last time, "And remember, don't get smash, 'cause you'll die."
Now that was Borra fears the most. Since gnomes are so fragile, if they fall they'll break into pieces, resulting for their death. He now began to be very careful or he'll die by breaking himself into pieces. He can't transform back into human or his secret will be discovered, especially his magic wandstaff.
Carrying his spell book and wandstaff, he searched for a place the live and sleep while trying to avoid being seen by humans as the rain began to pour. He saw an empty box, next to a pile of garbage. He thought it was a good place to stay, but there are humans blocking his path. He has to find a way to get through them without getting caught. When he realized he stood beside a big house, he recited a spell to lift himself up on the roof.
"BUNNY HOP BLAST!"
Borra casted that spell below his feet, and the spell pushed him on the roof. When he made it, he ran across the roof to reach to the other side, until… he slipped on his shoes since the roof was wet by the rain. He immediately grabbed the edge to save himself, but his hands are slipping. He tried to hold as hard as he can, but his hands are wet.
When his hands were released, Borra and his stuffs fell as he screamed when he knew this is the end of his life. He still can't fly though, and he can't reach his wandstaff while falling to save himself. He closed his eyes and ready to accept his fate...
Until.
He felt that he fell unto something soft. A giant pillow. It saved his life, with his book and wandstaff landed beside him. Borra didn't know what happened. There was no pillow on the ground earlier, but when he fell, it was now there. Very strange.
"You should be careful when you run on the roof in a rainy night."
Borra heard a British voice coming from nowhere. When he got up on his feet, he rubbed his eyes and, saw two gnomes with familiar faces, which he recognized them. Almost reminded him of his friends as he gasped.
"Sherlock? Watson?"
"Do you know us?" The gnome version of Watson asked.
"Of course I know you." Borra carefully stepped off from the pillow, "You don't know me?"
"Well, the way I describe you, you're a Filipino gnome… with wings." The gnome version of Sherlock Holmes described, "Very imaginative that your creator is or your parents wanted you to have those, hmm?"
He didn't get it. Borra knew the gnomes looked exactly like his previous friends, but quite different. He knew they aren't his friends. They lived in the other world where he just left, and this world is different. Non-living things have lives of their own. Very weird world.
"Yeah, I guess I am." He said, lying that he was a gnome, but he wasn't, "I wanna ask, what is your full name? I just only know you for your first name."
"Oh, glad you asked, since that's what I've been waiting for when I saved garden gnomes from being smash." The gnome with a green deerstalker cap said, "My name is Sherlock Gnomes, sworn protector of London's garden gnomes."
"And I'm Dr. Gnome Watson." Watson extended his hand on Borra, offering a hand shake, "Nice to meet you, young lad."
"And what your name might be?" Sherlock Gnomes asked.
Before he was going to say his full name, Borra discovered that their names added with a word 'gnome', unlike his previous friends' names. He has to think of a name with a 'gnome' in it, "I… I'm…. I'm Gnomogenes Borra."
"Well, Gnomogenes Borra, I suggested you should go home and stay out of sight from humans and animals. It's not safe for a gnome to go out here all by himself." Sherlock said as he and Watson were about to move back to their home.
"Actually…, I don't have a home." Borra admitted as Sherlock and Watson stopped, and turned to him, "I just got here, and I'm lost. I don't know where to go. I'm still looking for a shelter."
Sherlock and Watson glanced at each other if they have the same thought of what they will going to about Borra. They shared a nod, having the same thoughts.
"Like Watson here, having no shelter when I first met him, we were thinking that you should come with us for a while, just to be safe." Sherlock said.
"Really?" Borra's feelings lightened up.
"Yes, if you want to."
"Sure! Just let me get my stuff."
Borra excitingly took his stuff from the pillow, and rushed to his new friends.
"Umm, what's with that big book and a magnifying glass with a large handle?" Watson inquired.
Borra couldn't keep a secret about his magic stuff anymore since he already showed to his previous friends, and it's okay. Nothing ever changed. He just hope that his new friends wouldn't change their thoughts about him when he'll discuss about these, "I'll tell you along the way."
