Chapter 1: The Baby Ohmu
Three years have passed since the events of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Nausicaä has traveled into the toxic jungle and has found a baby ohmu.
The ohmu's many eyes were a light blue. Nausicaä stared at the baby insect with wonder as it squirmed around on the jungle floor.
"At least it's not mad," said Nausicaä through her face mask. "It would probably be attacking me by now if it was." She stared at it some more. "I wonder where its mother is."
Nausicaä picked up the baby ohmu and held it gently in her arms. It started squirming a little bit more.
"Do not be afraid, baby ohmu. I come not to harm you." The ohmu settled down.
Suddenly, she heard a great sound in the distance, but it was still close by, she could tell. Then the smell came to her. Gun smoke. What could have happened to make someone have to fire a gun?
She stood up with the baby ohmu and ran over to her glider. She stood on top of it with the baby ohmu in her hands. It would be hard to steer her glider with just one arm, but she knew she could do it. She blasted up into the sky and flied over the jungle.
Her eyes scanned the jungle and finally set sight on thin smoke rising from the trees behind her. She turned around and headed that way.
Suddenly the baby ohmu started squirming again and fell out of Nausicaä's hand.
I hope this didn't leave you all hanging to badly. I know it's a short chapter, but this is just a start for the adventures that await Nausicaä and the baby ohmu, and other characters as well. Please review this story and tell me if you like it and if I should keep writing it. Do you think I did Nausicaä's personality well? Please tell me that too. Thank you for reading the first chapter!
