"DO NOT GO FRIEND"
A little story of someone very dear here in the community of Rio. (Alexriolover95)
(…)
It was a very quiet morning in the jungle of the Amazon, all members of the spix clan were beginning to wake up to do their daily activities.
The sunlight was beginning to reflect in the jungle trees and a gentle breeze, it moved the leaves of these. The light began to enter the hole of one of the trees, inside he had one of the aforementioned spix, but he instead was well liked within his clan.
"(Yawn) That night, I had a hard time sleeping" -He told himself as he stretched his wings-
His name was Alex.
Alex cleared a little and walked to the entrance of his nest, once there, watched as the spix macaws flew the area in the distance, the sun came out of the horizon and you could hear the noise of waterfalls and lakes.
"Good morning Alex" - They said 2 macaws that passed by opposite-
"Hello, good morning," -Alex replied with a smile, as he used to be-
Just as he prepared to take off Alex noticed a flutter in the distance and realized that they were coming for him. It was Lewis who was one of Eduardo's messengers.
"Oh, hello Lewis" - Greeting Alex-
"Alex, how about?" - Answer Lewis-
"Can I help you with something?" -Alex asked-
"Yes, in fact, I'm sorry to bother you so early, but Eduardo sent me to know if you could help with counting the fruits that are being collected today"
"If of course it will not be a problem" - Answer Alex with a smile, although this diminished after a bit to remember something –
"But would you give me time to do something fast? I'll catch up with you" -Alex asked-
Lewis just nodded and flew away, leaving Alex alone, he went back into the nest, and went to where he slept right next to it was a small place where he kept something useful or precious to him. In between, I took out a pair of tree leaves, these, wrapped in a kind of necklace or at least something similar to one. This necklace had the Fanfiction logo in the center.
"Long time in this community, how to forget" Alex said while looking at the necklace with nostalgia- "If I go, I will never forget all those moments"
He took the necklace and wrapped it around with his wings, and he remembered that he had to go with Lewis, so he put the necklace on the leaves and put it back in its special place.
I left him and returned to the entrance, turned his gaze to where he left his precious necklace and he thought for a few seconds, after this he sighed and flew from there.
3 minutes later ...
Alex had met Lewis, and he took him with Eduardo.
"Come, friend, Eduardo is waiting for you"
"Yeah come on"
They came to the tree where Eduardo was. He was giving instructions to other macaws.
"Eduardo, here's Alex"
"Thanks Lewis you can retire" – Said Eduardo-
Lewis nodded and retired.
"Thank you for coming son" - Eduardo said touching the shoulder of Alex-
"It's nothing sir" -he replied with a smile-
"You'll see I need your help, I've had some problems with the birds that help me count and check that the fruits are in good condition, they are something ..."
"Inexperts sir?" -He's try to speak for him –
"No, clumsy I would say son"
On that comes a macaw with an apple.
"Look boss, my heart tells me that this fruit is the best of all" -said the macaw awkwardly-
"No, but if it's not what your heart tells you," Eduardo said, striking his forehead with his wing. "It's what your head tells you, or just watch that apple if I ate it, it would do me more harm than hearing your comments"
"Son, could you give them a hand? Do not let us bring more things like this "
"Yes, sir no problem"
"Come, my friend, I'll help you, do not worry," he said. "Maybe I'll give you some good advice, maybe they'll be useful"
"Okay friend" - Answer the macaw-
That said, they both left. The 2 arrived in a zone stuck to a river there were a few spix macaws and another that were responsible for collecting the fruits and leave them on a log that served as a deposit, if not before undergoing a review of part of their companions.
Alex realizing this he decided to come quickly so that they could help them a little, as they themselves made life difficult.
"Good, friends, I come to give you a hand, do not fear" - said Alex in front of them –
"Oh, thank you very much, really if we needed a little help, today if it's been a busy day, you've gathered the fruit a little" - said one of the macaws wiping sweat from the forehead-
"If I realize that, then let's begin" - He said approaching them and taking a couple of fruits to give them some advice before starting –
Alex began to give very useful advice to the rest of his colleagues, took all kinds of fruits and he showed them to see how to know if it was in good condition and to be able to be edible, also taught how to quickly gather a handful of Fruits to similarly make the review quick and make it easier. If someone had a question Alex answered with pleasure, although the question was silly, he answered equally.
After a while, Alex and the rest were doing an impeccable job, checking and joining very effectively, they all did a synchronized work, while others checked the joins or deposited them in the trunk, which seemed impossible for these birds Without experience, now they did it in a very fast and efficient way, the product of the advice of a very special bird, turned a handful of inexperienced birds, into some working birds with some preparation and learning very useful.
"If I leave here (Sigh) At least they have birds prepared"
1 hour later ...
After a while the macaws were about to end, until Eduardo's messenger arrived.
"Oh great, I see they're almost done," Lewis said, landing close to them. "They're doing a perfect job"
"Yes, my friend, there is little left" -Alex answered-
"If I see that, they'll see Eduardo send me to come since there will be a meeting of the whole clan, so he can talk about some important matters, so he asked me to warn him to come"
"Yes, there is no problem"
"But, who will take care of the fruits?"
"Do not worry, I'll take care of that," Lewis said, pointing to a pair of macaws and a spider monkey that was swinging among the branches of a tree-
"They will take care of, do not worry about the fruits"
"Oh, you anticipated the facts" -Said surprised Alex-
"Yes, that's just me" -Said- "Now they're not waiting for them"
Alex and his teammates nodded and went to the spix clan meeting.
In the reunion…
Eduardo was preparing to start the meeting, but not before organizing the meeting point a little, or where he would be to give the issues of interest. I spent some time and asked for some order in the place.
"But you also remember when I almost drowned trying to open a Brazilian nut" - Said Blu when there was almost no noise –
"Em, ¿Yes Blu?" - Eduardo said stressing that he kept a little silence-
"Oh yeah, excuse me, I'll shut up"
"Well, thank you," he continued. "And thanks to the majority to come"
"Do you think it takes too long?" - Asked Blu- "It gives me a feeling that the children make a prank, especially Tiago"
" Calm down, my love, they will be well, besides there are other birds taking care of beech, so I do not think they cause any problems" - Reply Jewel while recharging in the chest of Blu –
"You're right love" -Finish and gave a kiss on the forehead to Jewel-
Blu and Jewel continued paying attention to what Eduardo said, after a while they realized that in the distance came Alex and the other macaws.
"Look Jewel, it's Alex"
"Oh, it's true"
"It sure comes to this too" -Said Blu-
"Yes, you see that he comes agitated, surely came very fast"
"Yes, I believe it"
Eduardo noticed this, and briefly paused the meeting.
"Alex, thanks for coming, son"
"It's not ... (Accelerated breath) Nothing ... sir, sorry ... but we had to ... come quickly"
" You rest there " - Eduardo said pointing to a small elevation between some leaves - "Besides they are close so they can hear"
"Thank you boss" - said another of the macaws –
"If there is not that," he said and returned the meeting, "Excuse me, I said we have a better relationship with the red macaws and it would be appropriate ..." -And continued-
Alex was leaning his back against a comfortable concave rock, to rest a little, he turned his gaze to his claws and scratched some earth. Alex turned his gaze to where they were Blu and Jewel, they noticed that, and both greeted Alex, as usual, he replied with a smile, but vanished to remember again what was going to happen.
"I think, it's a good time to say goodbye to everyone, because there are already the majority here, even my best friends Blu and Jewel, I guess it's the right time" -thought Alex-
Alex thought about it and decided.
10 minutes later…
Eduardo was about to end the so-called meeting.
"And that would be everything in this meeting, unless someone has something to say"
"If I have something to say" -Alex said- "I thought I was going to tell him, sir"
"No, already asked that, also Blu had always something to say"
"Je, that's my friend"
"Yes, I know" -said- "Son, I give you the place"
Alex went up to where Eduardo was giving the meeting and came face to face with all the spixs of the place, Alex thought well what he was going to say, the wind was blowing slightly to make his feathers move, and doing a little the atmosphere of the place.
Some murmured what could happen.
"Pss Alex"
"¿Yes?"
"I just wanted to say that it was an honor to work with you brother, the truth could not have been without you" - said the macaw - "And in truth your advice was very useful ... thank you and luck up there"
"Thank you brother" - Answer Alex-
Alex started to speak.
"Hello everyone" -Greeting Alex to everyone-
"Hello Alex!" - most answered in unison-
"Thank you very much, the reason I'm in front of all of you is because I want to give you an announcement"
Alex braced himself and sighed.
"I ... I'm going to ... I'm going to leave the clan!"
"WHAT !?" exclaimed the majority in unison-
"But, why Alex?" - asked Blu very dismayed –
"Ah, my friend ... I'm so sorry, really, but it's something I can not explain" -Alex said looking down- "But I must leave the clan, and that is why I take advantage that they are all here present to say goodbye"
"Come on my friend, do not go" - Said Jewel very sad-
"Sorry friend, I cannot"
Blu and Jewel flew to where Alex was trying to convince him not to leave.
"Alex, we explained why you should go" -Said Blu-
"I cannot explain it, it's something you would not understand"
"Come on Alex, we might be able to help you" - Said Perla touching the shoulder of Alex-
"Friends I'm ..."
"We can help you Alex, everyone here is your family, and we must support, please Alex, let us help you"
Alex did not know what to say, and rather did not know what decision to make.
To stay or to leave ... that was the question.
(…)
Stay or go What decision will Alex make?
This story I made for the story of Alexriolover95 called "Hiatus, Even Retirement?", Where Alex explained that he intends to leave Fanfiction, for some circumstances.
The reason for the story is to give Alex reasons to hopefully, do not abandon Fanfiction in the future and stay with us in this great community, which by the way is a pillar of it, and therefore would not be the same the community without He (Without you, if you read this friend).
And in short, friend, hopefully and stay here the Fanfiction community of Rio.
Sorry if they found errors, it cost me a bit because it was my first story in English.
Thank you for reading.
See you until the next.
Greetings.
