Playing along-

Raven Story-

"Forget what Wolf said, I'm going exploring" I said as I flew away from the island I haven't left since I was born. My name is Apaulo, I'm a raven. I live on an island called Heaven on Earth Island. I live on it with a wolf that is also named Apaulo conincidence? That's why I call him wolf, for no confusion. "Of course maybe I should've waited till this storm died out…" Then out of nowhere a lightning bolt blasted down. "WHOA! Almost got me. I gotta get to shore." I lost focus since my life almost flashed before my so I lost my balance and started plummeting to waters below, luckily I landed on some piece of wood but that didn't last long. A huge wave came over me and I ended up rolling on to a muddy shore, a ROCKY muddy shore "owwww." After that I don't remember.

Macaw Story-

"So this is what it's like to fly?" I asked Jewel as she and I stood on the edge of a hang glider.

"See what you been missing?" She asked me.

"Yeah…. I do" I replied

"ALRIGHT BLU! You're flying…. well sort of." My new friend Rafael said to me.

(I sort of am aren't I?) I looked at Jewel seeing her just standing there feeling the wind in her feathers. Something she misses doing since I'm chained to her. I wanted to see how it felt to actually feel the wind beneath my wings. I wasn't thinking clearly at this point, I should've known aerodynamics wouldn't allow me to do this. I opened up my wings hoping I could finally see ho it felt to actually fly.

Jewel attempted to warn me, but not in time. For a second time today we plummeted to the ground about to his the ground when to our luck another hang glider came along. Unfortunately we fell off that one and another came along. But we fell on the flyers face and this obviously distracted him and caused him to glide THROUGH the different areas of which families were attempting to relax. Jewel and I jumped off and one thing lead to another and we ended up hitting a palm tree face first at full force, then gravity brought us down to the sandy ground.

"Tsk tsk tsk,, you did not feel it in here." Rafael, just HAD to close-caption everything.

"You think?" Jewel respond a little annoyed. "geeez, when are we going to- (gasp)!" Jewel pointed out what looked to be a motionless body of a black bird.

"CRISTO REDENTOR! Hurry!" Rafael shouted as he automatically flew to the motionless body. The three of us looked at the body, well at least Rafael did mostly.

"Is he dead?" Jewel asked.

"No, he's just unconscious. According to this little scrape on his head he got hit in the head pretty badly, and he's totally drenched so he's been out her all day probably." Then he started waking up. "Hey hey! You awake?" I asked him.

Raven Story-

"OWWW!" I screamed out as I lifted my head. I looked around but everything looked all blurry. I was able to hear someone asking me if I was all right but that's it.

"Pobre garoto. Need help?" An older voice spoke to me. Then it became clear. I was surrounded by two blue macaws and a toucan. The toucan was the one that asked me if I needed help.

"Quick how many feathers am I holding up?" The male macaw asked. It was easy considering the fact that I can count and I was able to see clearly.

"4 minus 1!" I replied trying to sound smart.

"3 yes correct, he better then I thought."

"What are ya doing out here by yourself amigo?" The toucan asked.

"I must've been washed up on shore by the waves. Where am I?" I asked.

"Welcome to Rio de janeiro." The female macaw greeted.

"Thanks and uhhh… who are you guys?" I asked them.

"I'm Blu." The male macaw said.

"I'm Rafael." The toucan replied.

"and I'm Jewel. Who are you?" She asked.

"I'm Apaulo, Apaulo the Raven, but you can call me Raven."

"Why?" They all asked.

"I live on an island with a wolf that's also named Apaulo and I call him wolf, so long story short I'm kinda used to being called Raven (Even though I've only know Wolf for like 2 or 3 days."

"Nice to meet you." Blu and Rafael said to me.

"Yes what a pleasure now can we hurry up, we saved his life but he have problems of our own." Jewel said beginning to walk away, dragging the Blu with her."

"Hey bud, how bout you come with us. You're new here and everything so why not have a tour of the city." Rafael suggested.

"Well… I don't know…. you guys seem pretty busy. Besides I don't want to slow any one down, even though that's not really possible."

"What do ya mean?" He asked.

"HEY RAFAEL GET OVER HERE!" Jewel yelled out.

"Fine I'll go come on." I told him starting to fly towards the truck. (yes I can fly. nothing more than a hit on the head.) I totally forgot about Rafael at this point as I flew toward the street leaving Rafael in the sand.

"Huh hoooo uhhh…. boy you're a uhhhh… fast one." Rafael said.

"Thank you." I said to him.

"You're the fastest flyer I've ever seen!" Jewel complimented.

"yeah it all depends on the type of bird." I explained. "See these uill like feathers?" I showed them my primaries and secondaries. " I am a ravhog, Raven with hedgehog qualities, (hint to who I am talking about?). Last one in existence."

"FASCINATING! Jewel and I are the last of our kind also." Blu said walking closer to Jewel.

"Small world." I added.

"Hey everyone look!" Rafael flew to a fruit truck and motioned us to get on. "Pressa!" He told us. I flew on to the truck waiting for Blu and Jewel to also get on. They did manage to get on and Blu collapsed on to some fruit the first thing he did when he was on the truck.

"I would like to go for five inutes without almost being killed. Is that too much to ask for?" Blu asked us.

"For a bird that can't fly, oh yeah" Jewel replied.

Then I gave Blu a surprised look. "What! You can't fly?" I asked him.

"Well um…" I can tell he was getting embarrassed so instead

"On second thought forget I asked." I requested him. The I walked to the edge of the truck looking out to the vast ocean. Rafael walked up to me as the truck was about to turn around making it difficult for me to see the shore.

"What is it amigo?" He asked.

"Just wondering whether it was truly a good idea to come here or if it would've been better to just stay on my island." Rafael and I sat on the edge of the side of the truck as I continued. "I mean I almost killed twice, and I know that Wolf is probably worried about me…" then I paused thinking (wait.. is he worried) "nah on second thought maybe it was a good thing I came."

"Why?" Rafael asked.

"Well I'm getting what I came for, an adventure, and I feel more free than I did on that island, and…. well,,,,, I made some new friends." Rafael smiled at me as I said this.

"Good for you pal. I'm appy for ya." We continued to ride on eventually making it to the farmers market.
