A Bad Gift. Chapter 2 (Strange Joy)
Blu started to fly into the cave but once he entered everything seemed to become more distanced from what he thought it was from outside and landed. Being a bit caution he slowly adventure deeper inward were the blinding shine was coming from eventually he took flight after he wasn't making much haste threw the rugged rocks and un even surfaces. He could now see what it was attracting him, a turquoise and bright white that was probably the reason why it was shinning with the middle of it being a dirty yellow'ish colour.
"Oh wow!, Jewel would love this now!" Blu proudly said to himself as he approached the short stemmed flower.
As soon as he picked it up a sudden explosion of green smoke surrounded the flower for a moment before fading away. The sudden explosion caught Blu off guard as he dropped the flower close to the cave walls and picked it back up afterwards. That's when he noticed that the wall he was at actually had carvings on it, one was 1 bird chasing a group then the second one was 2 birds chasing a smaller group then finally it was the same group that was running away now chasing 1 bird.
"I wonder who did this or even why?." Blu questioned. "Must of been made by crazy birds." He shrugged as he began to fly out of the cave and back into the jungle.
But once Blu had disappeared from the area a mysterious figure landed on top of the cave and entered, inside it placed a small book beside the place where the flower had been plucked from...
"Idiota !, que já tomou essa maldição agora tem um enorme fardo sobre auto-los!." The figure grunted as he soon also left the area.
(Idiot!, who ever took that curse now has a huge burden on themselves!.)
Meanwhile Blu who was back inside Spix macaw territory and making his way to Mimi's started to think about what those carvings actually meant.
"Was it something that horrible happened to them and they had to hide in that cave?" He asked himself. "Na, it was too small for any large groups to hide in never mind it would of been very uncomfortable." He added relating to the condition of the cave.
But his attention was soon disrupted as a small ball bounced off his face, he instantly stopped and rubbed his eye to see a bunch of children staring back at him with guilty expressions.
"Sorry sir, won't happen again." The oldest one apologized.
Blu cracked a smile and continued with his trip.
"Ow! ow! that actually hurt more than I would expected it too!." Blu said.
Soon he saw the entrance to Mimi's hollow and began to land, noticing Jewel had her back to him he thought about playing a little game with her before giving her the flower. Silently Blu landed and began to sneak up behind Jewel while posing like someone out of Metal gear solid.
"Who is it?." Blu asked in a higher tone as he covered her eyes with his wings.
Jewel giggled a bit before playing along.
"I don't know?." She said.
"Close your eyes and don't open them until I say so." Blu asked.
"Oh okay." Jewel responded as she could fell Blu's wings letting go of her.
"You can open them now." Blu said.
Instantly Jewel obeyed and was greeted to Blu kneeling down in front of her, holding a flower in both of his wings towards her.
"OH MY GOD!" she yelled as she gripped Blu into a quick tight hug before releasing him and picking up the flower he had dropped during the hug.
"Its beautiful Blu where did you get it?." She asked.
"That doesn't matter ,all that does matter Is you." Blu responded.
Jewel then took a sniff off the flower but during it the green smoke Blu saw earlier came out of the flower and into her nose. Jewel froze on the spot for a moment with her eyes widened before looking back at Blu.
"Its beautiful thank you." Jewel thanked as she placed the flower on her head.
"Were are the kids?, I haven't seen them since I left this morning." Blu asked.
"Oh the kids there down there practicing on how to fly backwards with Roberto." Jewel told Blu as they both looked down to find the group of macaws.
"Wait, doesn't Tiago already know how to fly backwards?." Blu questioned.
"Yea but Carla and Bia don't so he volunteered to help out" Jewel answered. "Anyways I forgot to ask you, How will Luiz be able to get back to Rio? or even how did he get here in the first place?."
Blu thought about it for a moment before answering.
"To be honest I don't really know." Blu admitted.
"Should we get the kids and go home?." Blu asked.
"For food?." Jewel excitedly responded almost instantaneously.
"Err sure I can use something to nibble on lets go" Blu said before launching himself off and glided down but Jewel stayed up for a little moment as her eyes suddenly flashed bright green with dark green bloodshot and a small grin appeared on her face before she shake'd her head returning back to normal and Joining her family.
"You all going now Ju-ju?." Roberto asked while Blu eyed him down.
"Yea were all hungry but we'll be back later on." Jewel replied. "I make sure." She also whispered behind their back.
"I'm never going to get used to those nick names." Blu thought to himself.
Jewel and Blu then both took flight and were followed by their children with Roberto waving them goodbye. On their way back they stopped off on the way and got some Nuts and fruits.
"Kids what type of fruit do you all want?." Blu asked because they were basically in a natural supermarket surrounded by fruit trees.
"What about Bananas for a change?." Bia suggested.
"I kind of wanted some mangos." Carla said.
"DRAGON FRUIT!." Tiago shouted.
"I don't think we can get that here or at least I haven't seen any" Jewel told Tiago. "Just get Bananas nuts and mangos."
Once they got everything they needed they all landed in their hollow but weirdly Jewel started to eat the banana's first instead of her favourite mangos.
"He he I never thought I would see the day where Jewel doesn't go for mangos straight away." Blu teased.
"Coming from the one who's eating the shell of a nut." Jewel retaliated in defence.
Suddenly Blu looked down to see that she was right he was dinning on the shell of a nut Blu had been too concentrated on Jewel to even think about what he was doing. He ended up running to the entrance and spitting the shell pieces out.
