I don't own Pikmin. I don't even share stock at Nintendo.

Everything was silent; the homes, the granary, everything. Somehow it didn't seem right. She didn't know why; it had been this way ever since the last time the Great Mamutas had graced the Shrine Village on their migration.
Yes, the tiny little oasis in the war that was being waged just outside the ring of stone walls that protected the meager village. The blues and reds were clashing right now, but that was not the major concern of the sixty inhabitants of the Shrine Village. Their concern was the Pileated Snagret the reds had tamed- in the very loosest sense of the word- and released into the Shrine Village to haunt and terrorize it. Where the reds could not go, they employed beasts. Not even the strong walls could keep the Snagret out. He simply burrowed under them.
That was why the Pikmin who had been graced with protection still suffered many a sleepless night, listening for rumblings beneath the earth. All they could do was hold out until the Great Mamutas returned from their yearly ventures into the cave known as the Cave of Giving. It was not, however, very giving at all. It was packed with feroscious predators, each one more dreaded than the last. Ruling the cave, legends told, was an enourmous beast who had at its disposal four elements. The Pikmin hoped that the Mamutas, spirits of growth, could stop the war, or at least dispatch the dread Snagret.
She darted down the dirt path. Her blue stem hung down in her face, obstructing her view with her thick-petaled white blossom. She brushed it out of the way with one tiny hand, small even for a Pikmin. She was the town's Oracle, contacter of the Mamutas. She was young, but an Oracle nonetheless. The Shrine was in view. One week until the Mamutas returned. She could only hope.
DAYS UNTIL MAMUTA'S RETURN: 7

PS: I chose Mamutas to be the center Pik-belief in my story because their name translates into Piku-God or something.
