So I've decided I won't post anything for all of August so as a last hurrah here is sneak peak for something after the Revenants of Dark Earth is finished, Fauna is actually a...Reincarnation of sorts of a very old character of mine, during High School I doodled on Printer Paper the tale of Gary a God Creature that changes to a different animal shape for every century and Clara a descendant of the Native Easter Islanders, currently living in New York City and soon to be the Keeper of Gary, keeping him drugged and happy so he doesn't realize how much Earth's environment has been destroyed by humans so he'll report to his bosses and Humans will be destroyed, Long Story Short Gary gets kidnapped, Clara has to find him...Yadda Yadda something heartwarming happens...Well remembering that old story I decided to change Gary to a Female Character, give her a name more befitting a Goddess of Animals and change her from Judge of Humanity to Judge of the Unicorn Monarchs who were tasked with being the Protectors of the Animal Kingdom (On First Earth Anyway) This story was originally posted on Writing Dot Com and here I'm posting it here as a last hurrah for the month

The Day was Midsummer Day, or the Summer Solstice for the for scientifically minded. The Eden Lands had been restored to the Glory of King Lee's Youth and all the Humanimals who had been rescued by King Lee himself or were descended from those who had been rescued by King Lee (Because remember, King Less was roughly 300 years old when he died and was still in his prime)

The Young Queen Matoaka Redfeather had come because this Midsummer Day was when the Goddess of Animal Life Fauna would descend from Heaven to 'test' The Unicorn Mare what the test was no one knew, not even the young Queen herself.

All over the Eden Lands Humanimals were celebrating both the restoration of the Animal Kingdom King Lee had worked so hard to create and the coming of Fauna whom the Humnanimals believed was some great and magnificent Goddess.

Food and Games abounded! Everywhere you looked you could purchase some kind of carnival treat... And several Martial Arts Tournaments were being held for Animals of Different masses because most people would agree A Mouse battling and Elephant wouldn't be fair to the Mouse, Cartoon Stereotypes aside, However Karai's Morning Glories, Knuckles the Jackrabbit and Wyatt the Fruit Bat decided to enter a tag-team match against a Walrus and Camel Duo and one handily because they had psychic powers.

The Announcer a large White Rabbit-Man looked at Karai's Consort John Chapman and said "And the winners are Knuckles and Wyatt!" Quietly so no one else would hear he said to Chapman "Even though I really thing they should be disqualified for illegal utilization of psychic powers."

"If it was illegal..."Chapman chuckled "...You should have written down an explicit rule against it."

"It should have been implied." Huffed the Rabbit "Kind of like 'You don't bring a machine gun to a Football Match'

Chapman however flicked the prize towards his Mutant Wards, an Enchanted Gold Doubloon. Knuckles caught it and together with Wyatt and both fist pumped with triumph.

Minsk Green. Matoaka's First Mate decided she would have some fun as it had been so long since she had a good old fashioned scrap and being a Mink her Musteliad Brain longed for some action.

An interesting incident happened with a Beautiful Stoat-Woman calling herself 'The Myserious XX' But we'll leave that story for another time.

When it was time for Fauna to descend Matoaka led her people to the beach since the Eden Lands were the most Western Parts of what once was Scotland they faced the cold North Sea, the sun was causing the water to sparkle brightly.

The Four Ninja Turtles were the only ones a bit apprihensive about this whole thing as the many traditions of the Humanimals seemed very odd and at times creepy to them.

"So..." Don turned to Fossil as Matoaka stood at the very edge of the water. "This...Fauna...Who is she? What is this...Test?"

The Velociraptor-Man Fossil sighed it was clear he was no longer in his area of expertise. "Fauna is the Goddess of all Earth Animal Life." He said "She like the Ninja Tribunal was orginally a Human but then was later granted the status of Goddess. I don't know what the Test is..."

"What does she look like?" Asked Mikey

Fossil chuckled "That's the thing...Even though Fauna was orginally a Human when she descends to 'Test' the Unicorn Monarchs...She takes the form of some kind of Mundane Animal...She descends for each Unicorn Monarch once and she never takes the same form twice...The past forms she was taken were a Domestic Cow, a Grey Wolf...and a Bat."

This caught Wyatt's interest ^What kind of Bat?^ He asked with his telepathic speech.

"Fossil." Stroked his temples "Um...I think it was Eptesicus fuscus." He said

Wyatt's ears immediatly drooped "Oh." He said "One of the insect eaters." Wyatt himself was a Jamacian Fruit Bat which is a Microbat unlike the more famous Flying Fox Fruit Bats, still Wyatt couldn't imagine having a mate who ate insects.

"She never takes the same form twice..." Don said "...Is it because it's something she can't do...Or is this something she does of style?"

"I think...The latter is most likely." Fossil said "Of course whatever form she takes she is always the most perfect specimen of that breed...It's happening!"

From the sky came a shower of Gold Sparkles...They formed into a shape only three feet...Bright Blue eyes sparkled! She was...A Pomeranian Dog!

"Aww!' Mikey cooed

"Don't expect her to act as harmless as she looks." Murmured Fossil "This is the first time she was ever descended as an Anthropomorphic Animal."

Matoaka curstied before the Godess "Lady Fauna." Said the Unicorn Mare.

"Queen Matoaka." Replied the Pomeranian Goddess with a squeaky voice.
