Chapter 8:Here We Are
It was a long journey for Blu and his family to head all the way from Brazil to all the way to Japan. The decision to leave Brazil had planning, care and thought. It was going to be long stretches of water, making it to small island layovers and aiming for ship routes heading to Japan. In a sense, they would be hopping from one help point to another. Blu and Jewel went over their plans carefully and got their chicks ready to go.
It took a long time to go forward, but gradually they went from island to island until they were able to get on a steamship. They snuggled into a small corner on board. Sine it was such a long journey, occasionally , they came out from the small spot, to hunt for food. This involved flying over the water while keeping up with the ship. Once the hunt was done, the food was brought back and the family ate. The rolling waves made sleep at night in the darkness , as stars twinkled in the sky, made this journey a memorable family experience.
The sunrise of the last day on board came when land approached in the distance. Blu and Jewel woke and prepared the chicks for flight. Blu and his family flew and flew into the clear blue sky. From the sky, they looked down in the middle of flying to see what was below them. Below them was a small village that was hidden in the mountains.
"Is this it?", asked Blu to his mate, Jewel.
She was looking down as well. Then she lifted her head up towards Blu to answer him,
"I think this is it where we supposed to meet Jiraya. My Dad didn't tell me where we supposed to meet him.",said Jewel.
Blu fell silent. If they are supposed to meet Jiraya here, then, they needed to see for themselves. So, Blu. took one look at his three chicks, Tiego,Bia and Carla and decided it was time.
"Well kids, here we are.",he said .
The kids cheered in excitement, then started diving down into the village. After watching Tiego, Bia and Carla all dive down, Blu and Jewel took one look at each other and shrugged,
"Kids, what are we going to do with them?", they both said at the same time.
Then, they went to catch up with them.
