Glaceon- Selling Ice to a Glaceon
Eevee closed her eyes and trembled with intense frustration, and then threw her weight forward and stretched her neck out. Her nose came within a centimeter of the Ice Rock, and she whined and whimpered as her eyes fixated on the glowing rock in front of her. Then, she shut her eyes and stuck out her tongue as far as she could. He tongue then briefly licked the surface of the Ice Rock.
Eevee's entire body began to glow, and with a flash of light, the ice surrounding her shattered to dust. When the light and dust faded, Glaceon stood with her eyes closed and tongue sticking out. She slowly opened her right eye, and then her left eye, and then gave a gleeful smile before prancing around happily, cheering and laughing with joy. She pirouetted on her hind legs, letting her teal dangles swing around her as she spun.
Her blue eyes sparkling with true happiness, Glaceon nodded with satisfaction and fell back down on all fours. The moment she touched down on the ground, she cried out in pain and reared up on her hind legs, swinging her forepaws a bit before falling back down onto the ground. Glaceon hissed in pain as she clenched her teeth and saw wisps of steam rise from her forepaws. Then she cried out in pain again as the pads of her hind paws felt a searing pain on them, causing her to buck the air behind her before tenderly letting her hind paws slowly rest back down on the ground. She stared at the sandy round and blinked in confusion at first, then she looked up and around at her surroundings. Her eyes then became wide and horrified as she took in the seemingly endless, rocky, cactus riddled desert around her.
Glaceon stood completely still at first, her eyes directed straight ahead. Then she sat down on her haunches with a thud, and her breathing suddenly became fast and heavy, as if she were about to hyperventilate. Sweat beaded up on her rump, legs, and cheeks, and her eyes started to fill with tears, which then began to evaporated along with her sweat in the hot Sun. Then, she reached up with her forepaws and grabbed onto her dangles, pulling them hard with all her might. Glaceon let them go with a snap and then let out an agonized and anguish filled scream.
The Sun was highest it could be in the sky over the desert landscape. Deep in the heart of this barren land, nothing but cactus, rocks, and sand could be seen. However, currently there was one exception.
Glaceon stretched out her left foreleg and reached out with her dark blue paw for what felt like the hundredth time, and then grabbed onto the hot and dry sandy ground. Getting a grip, she pulled herself another few inches forward across the ground for what felt like the hundredth time. She then repeated this action with her left foreleg and paw for what felt like the hundredth time.
She stopped for a moment, breathing heavily as she craned here neck to look behind her. She could see the rapidly evaporating trail of moisture her body left behind as she dragged herself across the ground. In addition, water continued to drip from the dangles on either side of her head. Glaceon gave a tearful glance up at the cloudless sky, not daring to even look in the hot Sun's general direction, then lowered her head and whimpered. She closed her eyes as her tears quickly dried up an became sticky on her cheeks.
Glaceon began dragging herself forward again, grunting in pain at the scorching ground. After moving forward about two more feet, suddenly, and much to her surprise, Glaceon felt her extended right forepaw sink into the ground. Glaceon raised her head slightly and looked at her stuck paw. She gave it a tug, but the ground seemed to have a strong force of suction on it. She placed her left forepaw next to it, and it was quickly sucked into the earth as well. Confused and slightly delirious, Glaceon got up on her paws shakily and took a few steps forward with her hind legs, leaning forward and pulling in an attempt to pull her forepaws out. When this didn't work, she noticed that her hind paws were know sucked into the mud-like earth.
Glaceon looked down at the patch of ground she was stuck in, and her blue eyes widened as she noticed that she was starting to sink. Glaceon clenched her teeth as she tried pulling her legs out, but was suddenly pulled back down and sank further into the quicksand. Glaceon gasped as she saw that her legs were completely submerged, and her body was starting to sink as well. Glaceon cried out angrily and thrashed around, but stopped to let out several dry coughs. She took a few deep breaths, and then looked down to see that she was up to her neck in the quicksand. This caused her to let out several loud grief-stricken sobs.
She hung her head miserably, her dangle lying on the surface of the quicksand, and was still for a moment until she finally realized that she had stopped sinking. Pouting, she wiggled her head and neck, and then tried to move her paws. None of them seemed to move, but then Glaceon's eyes widened a touch when she felt something flat with her right hind paw. Focusing hard, Glaceon pushed her paw down as hard as she could, and she felt something give. Suddenly filled with confidence, Glaceon then found she could move both of her hind paws, and then stomped her left hind paw down even harder.
Instantly, the quicksand, and Glaceon with it, fell down into a deep pit and crashed down onto the bottom of a cavern. As the quicksand slowly spread out, Glaceon popped her head out of the mound and took several deep breaths, her eyes wide and panicky. She shook the sand out of her ears and looked ahead of her and saw a pool of water. Glaceon's tongue lolled out of her mouth, and she quickly crawled her way out of the mound of quicksand. She ran towards the water's edge, panting loudly, and just as she reached it, another pile of quicksand fell right on top of her.
Glaceon popped her head out from the side of the pile of thick sand, and took several gulps of air. Then she looked down at the water and craned her neck towards it. She panted as she stuck her tongue out and attempted to lap up the water only centimeters away from her. However, there was still about a centimeter between her tongue and the water.
Letting out a cry of desperation, Glaceon opened her mouth and her forehead glowed light blue. She then fired Ice Shard out of her mouth at the rocky shelf she was lying on. The attack smashed up the rock and sent Glaceon, quicksand mound and all, into the water.
Glaceon quickly popped back up to the surface and gave a sigh, and quickly slurped up the water she was floating in. She was so preoccupied with the delightful coolness of the water that she didn't notice that she was moving. Eventually, she looked up and saw that she was some distance away from the rock self. She then turned around and gasped when she saw the short falls ahead of her. Before she knew it, she was pulled over the side and plunged down into the water. A strong current pulled her through the narrow caves. She tumbled and spun through the watery passage at super fast speeds until she was able to right herself and point her head forward, all while holding her breath.
Soon, she saw light ahead of her, and the next thing she knew, her head was suddenly forced out a small hole in the rock. She blinked her eyes as they adjusted to the sunlight, and she looked down to see a trickling spring below her. Glaceon then noticed a building pressure on her rear, and realized that her body was plugging up the spring. She then noticed that the rock around her was begging to crack. And then, right when the pressure nearly crushed her hind legs, she was suddenly forced out of the hole like a cannonball out of a cannon.
Glaceon was shot out at an upward angle and through the air. She screamed throughout her entire flight, until finally landing hard on solid rock chin first. She stood like that for a while, with her tail and hind legs sticking straight up in the air, her mouth and eyes wide open with pain. Then, she let out a shaky sigh and let her legs and body fall down behind her. However, she cried out in fear when there was nothing for the back end of her to land on.
Glaceon had landed on a ledge hanging off of a rocky mountain top, and was currently dangling off of it. Glaceon quickly extended her forelegs outward and grabbed the ledge with her forepaw. She made to pull herself, but to her dismay, she saw that she was slowly slipping backwards, with her paws leaving a trail of water on the surface of the ledge. Glaceon was soon hanging by the tips of her forepaws, and was breathing in and out frantically. With a desperate cry, she swung her entire body upward and did a flip in the air a few feet above the ledge. Then, she quickly positioned her hind legs under her as she fell down, and landed on the very edge of the ledge on her toes.
Glaceon's face was fearful as she breathed in and out slowly, standing up on her hind legs with her forelegs at her sides. She looked at each of her forelegs, then slowly extended them out in front of her. As she did this. she slowly began to fall backwards. She flailed her forelegs wildly as she swung down off of the ledge, but she held onto the edge with her hindpaws, and when she was hanging fully upside-down, she swung herself back up, flipping again, and then bit hard onto the ledge.
As she hung by her teeth, Glaceon quickly grabbed the ledge with her forepaws and with great force, pulled herself up quickly, opening her mouth quickly. She pulled herself up so fast that she was thrown into a front paw stand. Balancing in an upside-down position, Glaceon carefully moved one paw forward, only for it to slip on the water she left on the surface. This caused Glaceon to spin around like a top, and this, combined with her exhaustion and stress, made her very dizzy. As her eyes spun in circles, Glaceon clumsily walked herself over to the edge, and with a startled cry, stumbled off of it.
Glaceon looked upward as she fell, screaming in intense fright as the world was a blur around her. She closed her eyes as she prepared for the blow. Then, she landed right into a pile of deep, soft snow.
At first, Glaceon's ears popped out of the snow. Then, her head came out. She looked around and gasped, joy stamped on her face as she hopped out of the snow bank and jumped on top of it, throwing her entire body on it in an attempt to get as much of it in contact with her body as possible. She smiled tenderly as she practically hugged the snow as she lay spread eagled upon in. She nuzzled her cheek on the snow, basking in its coolness, and let out a gentle sigh.
Glaceon's ears suddenly perked up as a sound caught her attention. She opened her eyes and looked up in surprise as a large group of Glaceons came into view. The other Glaceons were staring at her, and looking straight up from where she fell. They stared at her in silence for a long moment, then they began to bow.
Glaceon blinked and cocked her head in confusion, then looked up to see one of the Glaceon approach her, holding a crown in his mouth. She stood in shock and awe as he gently placed the crown on her head, and was amazed by how perfectly it fit.
Glaceon stood in awe for a moment, then smiled and started laughing, and danced and twirled around joyfully. She then stood tall and called out to the other Glaceons, and all of them began to celebrate with her.
