Author's note: Yes I know this chapter is very short too but I hope to make longer chapters after I get into the story more. It would also be longer if I had a good name for the ohmu. . . So, here it is.
Chapter 2: The Fall and Naming of the Ohmu
"OH NO!" cried Nausicaä. She dove down after the ohmu like an eagle catching its prey.
She leaned forward to make her glider go faster, and it quickly sped up. Just as the ohmu was about to hit the ground, Nausicaä reached her hand down and grabbed the baby ohmu in her arms. She heaved the glider up just as she was about to hit the ground and sped along the jungle floor.
She stopped and the glider slid on the ground for a few yards and then stopped completely.
She hurried off her glider, baby ohmu pressed against her chest. She sat on the ground and cradled the strange insect in her arms.
"Oh baby ohmu are you ok? I'm so sorry that I dropped you up there!"
Its many eyes flickered from red to blue and finally stayed red and the ohmu started to squirm wildly. Nausicaä took out her insect charm from her pocket and whirred it around quickly so it made a ringing sound and the ohmu's eyes went back to blue after about a minute.
"So, baby ohmu," said Nausicaä in a calm, gentle voice. "What shall I name you?"
The ohmu was silent and made no movement.
"Hmm."
The ohmu still stood still and made no noise.
"How about. . ." Nausicaä thought it over for a while. She could not think of a good name for the baby ohmu. Then the name came to her, just as she remembered the gun smoke. She headed for her glider and told the ohmu what its name was going to be. . .
Authors note: I know the title of the chapter is not good for this chapter because I do not mention the name of the ohmu yet, but when I have to think if names for characters, I'm completely lost. I also thought it would be good for it to have a Japanese name, and I do not know any. Please if someone has any Japanese names, mention a few and post them on your review, I thank anyone who is willing to help! I can not write the next chapter without a name for the ohmu! Thanks!
