Welcome back to the stage of history! Brace yourselves, this will begin to go into detail on how Murkwell was found at the beginning through a reenactment. I want to mention, that no matter the time, place, or vessel, in any other reality may it be saccharine or otherwise, there's always bound to be darker beginnings like this. Let's get this show on the road.

Chapter 6: Exodus

In the days that followed, many events since when Akira had found Anne had happened.

Two days ago, Anne wanted to learn to drive the Plantar snail chariot, Bessie. Hop Pop allowed it, provided if Anne read the journal that foretold the history of Bessie. Stubborn to the core, Anne believed that one should learn by experience than by reading a book. Akira thought the same and so decided to accompany her and Sprig on a joy ride alongside Skittles

Anne got the bright idea of driving off road and upon landing on a clearing at top speed in a forest, Bessie hid in her shell and refused to come out of it. Begrudgingly, Sprig and Skittles went to find Hop Pop while Anne and Akira stood guard to protect the snail. To pass the time, they decided to read the journal. They found out the reason that Bessie hides in her shell was because predators were nearby. It made sense, Akira learned that most species of animals have certain defense mechanisms. Even dinosaurs had this, like the ankylosaurids.

Apparently, the predator to snails, which Akira didn't know, were hedgehogs. Akira laughed at the idea that these cute little things could be voracious. But then they appeared, and Akira was put on the defensive. They escaped by uttering the phrase as said in the journal, though Anne made her own variant, "Bessie! Things are about to get messy!"

This caused Bessie to emerge from her shell and they began their escape. They manage to get to safety afterwards.

The next day prior, Anne had a problem. She had developed acne on her face. It was a normal thing for teenagers, something the Amphibians weren't aware of. It was bad enough that the people of Wartwood that she was mocked and thought of as strange by the frogs of Wartwood and was afraid that the situation would worsen. And to her dismay, she has to accompany the Plantars to sell scream beans at their stand. One of the Amphibians during that time accidentally. Akira wasn't gonna stand by and let his friend be ridiculed like that and was willing to defend his friend. But to his surprise, thanks to the zits on her face, she was praised for her appearance.

Even Akira managed to utter, "Aye, what just happened?"

The mayor of Wartwood, Mayor Toadstool, saw the idea and decided to make Anne the spokesperson, which she accepted. This meant that the people of Wartwood would be more accepting to Anne. However, she began to abuse her fame, leaving both Akira, the Plantars, and Four-Caesillies in the dust. Despite this, they would at least support whatever Anne would do that was right since they believe Anne was still the same Anne. Akira was afraid the attention would go to Anne's head and he'd lose his best friend.

But then, Anne had lost her zits, fearing she would lose her "F-Annes" as she called them. So, they snuck her away to a nearby swamp to use swamp berries to cover as zits. As she was about to give her speech, she couldn't take living a lie and decided to remove the berries, showing that the berries were a cover for zits and causing Toadstool to humiliate himself by accidentally calling his people idiots. Akira was appalled to hear that. This mayor was nothing like Jansen. Needless to say, the mayor was not coming out of his mansion for a good while. The Plantars accepted Anne back into their home.

Akira apologized to Anne and she did the same, Anne allowing fame to go to her head and Akira for being paranoid that thanks to the fame being abused, he'd lose his friend that he has right now.

Present day...

Akira knocked on the door to Hop Pop's study. Hop Pop answered, "Why hello there, Akira. What can I do for you?" he asked, "Hey there, Hop Pop. As I have been helping with your gardening, something I'm not all that good at to be honest, but I do like helping nonetheless, all these encounters with Amphibia's wildlife had me thinking...do you have a guidebook based on the beasts that dwell here?" the boy asked. Hop Pop looked at the list of books he had, "You know, I'm really glad you thought of that. Considering that the wilderness here in Amphibia can be unpredictable," the old frog commended.

"Well, before even running into the caecilians, I have been surviving for a few days. It felt like an adventure to me. Of course, since there are monsters out there, I think it's fair that we should have guides like these on hand. Me and Anne are going to need it to survive if we're ever to find my friends and brother and return home," Akira suggested. Hop Pop thought for a minute. He then began to look through a series of books before handing the boy a copy of one of the books, "Heres a list of the ones found outside of Wartwood. Once we begin the journey beyond the valley in a few months, then I'll lend you the other one," Hop Pop said.

"Thanks, this will do for now. Oh, by the way, I've been meaning to tell you. Tomorrow, why don't you come with me back to Murkwell. I think it's high time you, the Plantars yourselves, and Anne, saw Murkwell in its entirety. Think of it as a sort of...minication," Akira suggested. "Why I'd like to see it. I'm sure the kids will love to see it as well," Hop Pop chirped, "Oh and just wait til you see the mayor. He's nothing like Toadstool. You can be sure of that," he said.

Meanwhile...

Zeppy was in front of the desk in the office of Mayor Toadstool. It was about the comedy act that was part of the tour. He signed the deal for the upcoming act, "This better make up for that one time," Toadstool warned, "Oh I assure you, I can bet your townsfolk will love the physical comedy. I mean we're slapstick comedians," Zeppy assured. He then eyed Toadstool wearily, "And you won't try any funny business to try and sabotage it, will you?" the caecillian asked, "You have my word," Toadstool assured.

Zeppy wasn't at all convinced. He did a motion with his tail that told Toadstool he'll be watching him. He then exited the building, where Loofy was waiting, "So...were you able to sign the deal?" he asked, "Yep! And I'm just exited to hear the laughter from the patrons!" Zeppy cheered. He inhaled and then exhaled, "The sound of laughter is like music to my ears," he said. He then grew serious, "Although I don't trust Toadstool that well. Not after that incident with that zit situation Anne went through," Zeppy whispered.

"Too right. I mean, judging by the looks, he looks like a toad. You sure he ain't out to get us?" Loofy whispered back, "I hope not," Zeppy responded. They then slithered back to the Plantar farm. Akira and Anne spotted them coming back, "Hey guys!" Anne greeted, "So...did you get the deal signed so you can perform your comedy act at any time?" Akira asked, "Yep! I can just hear ourselves making the mayor laugh his socks off!" Zeppy boasted.

"So guys, I was thinking of all of us showing Anne and the Plantars Murkwell. I think it's time they met the mayor," Akira offered. This got Anne excited, "Yayeah!" she roared with excitement, "Also the mayor you know is better, right?" she asked, "Oh definitely. He's like a sort of...father to me," Akira replied. Anne smiled, "Awww."

For the rest of the day, they continued doing their activities and helping around the farm a bit.

The next day...

Akira, Anne, the Plantars, and the Four Cae-Sillies were at the gates of Murkwell. The Plantars and Anne were in awe at the sight of the town, "Oh...my...gosh..." Anne worded silently, "That was my first reaction," Akira concurred, "This here town is Jansen's pride and joy. Each generation of the mayor has always kept this aquatic/underground town safe," Skittles educated, "Wait, you guys live above and underground?" Sprig asked, "That's right. Apparently, caecillians are known for their secluded habitats which in me and Anne's world, makes them the least heard of species of amphibians," Akira replied.

The guards of Murkwell suddenly slithered to them, holding spears between their tails, "Halt!" one of them said, "Identify yourself!" said the second. Akira and Zeppy got in between them, with the boy raising his hands, "Now, now, it's alright. Relax and lower your weapons, it's just us. And the second human and the frogs are my friends," Akira assured them. The guards looked at each other before looking at them. It made the group look like they were on display, "Follow us. The mayor is wanting to see you," said the first guard.

The group followed the guards to the mayor's office. They took a boat ride over to it. Even Anne was amazed at the sight of the town. Akira took notice of this, "Like I said, just like Venice," he said, "I wonder why we never heard about them til now," Hop Pop wondered. This got the boy thinking for a minute. It never occurred to him on how Murkwell came to be til Hop Pop asked that question. Even the Four Cae-Sillies were thinking, "Honestly, we don't know," Zeppy answered honestly, "Well maybe we should ask the mayor," Berry suggested, "Ooh, I wonder if there were battles that led to the formation of this town!" Polly said eagerly, "Is Polly normally like this?" Akira asked Sprig, "Oh yeah," the frog answered.

The guards led the group to the mayor's office.

In the office, Jansen was sipping on some tea. One of the guards knocked, which prompted the mayor to answer it, "Mayor Jansen, you're wanted downstairs at once," the guard said, "What's up?" the mayor asked, "The boy and the Cae-Sillies return with friends and are ready to see you," the guard announced. This brought a smile to the mayor caecillian's face, "On my way," he said.

A few minutes later, downstairs at the building of the mayor's office, the group were at the lobby as Jansen slithered downstairs. The Plantars and Anne were amazed at how huge and royal he was and knowing this commanded respect and praise, "Why hello there!" Jansen cheered, "Why greetings there, mayor," Hop Pop greeted back, "I would shake hands, but unlike one of your other caecillian friends, you don't have arms," the old frog admitted, "It's alright. I'll just use my tail," Jansen assured. They then shook hands. Or at least in a way since Hop Pop had arms and Jansen didn't. It was more of a hand/tail shake if any.

Anne was in awe at the mayor, "So you've been keeping Akira safe? You must be alot better than the mayor of Wartwood," Anne acknowledged, "I take it he's not a wise fella?" Jansen asked, "Yeah. No. He's a bit greedy at best," Akira admitted. Jansen sighed, "Well I can promise you, compare to that peasant of a toad mayor that I would be willing to protect this town from anyone," Jansen promised, bowing in respect, "Well, if what you say is true, then it looks like you've earned my respect," Sprig cheered.

Akira felt like he needed to ask something, "Say mayor? Um...I thought we should know something," Akira said. Jansen raised his eyebrow, "Yes? What is it my boy?" Jansen asked, "How did this town come to be?" Akira asked. This caused Jansen to be silent for a minute, "I never heard someone ask that question before. But I think I have the answer. Wait here," Jansen instructed. Jansen slithered back upstairs. He then arrived back minutes later where coiled around him with his tail is a book.

"Okay, I'm sensing some big history coming," Anne noted. This got Polly excited and Hop Pop intrigued while Sprig groaned, having to sit through yet another history lesson that probably didn't have battles. Jansen set the book down and began to turn the pages, "Listen well, my friends, for the tale of Murkwell came to be in the land of Amphibia. Our tale begins when a group of caecilian settlers were slaves to a group of barbarous toad warmongers."

Decades ago, a group of settlers that were caecilians had been citizens to many towns before. However, many caecilians had been captured by the many toads and were made slaves. A conqueror who saw us caecilians as low class parts of Amphibia. We didn't know the name of the conqueror at the time, so by Akira's suggestion, let's call him Toad Kahn. Kahn saw the caecilians as copper makers since he took to power for his empire. One caecilian, however, was treated like a brother and was treated justly, mostly because he didn't understand slavery and that they were just working. Until the day he saw a fellow caecilian being harassed by a toad. He tangled with it and accidentally knocked it out, causing him to run away, fearing that he'd be labelled a fugitive. It was then he found out from a prophet that was a newt told him that he'd be the one to defeat the toad emperor and free his brethren from the toad's grasp. For a time, he'd train. While he didn't have arms, he picked up a way of defeating him. So with the lesson learned, he challenged Toad Kahn. The toad emperor laughed, arrogantly claiming that a lowly caecilian couldn't defeat him. But to his horror, he was then outsmarted. First, the caecilian had thrown a seed into his eye, blinding his right, and then he was tripped and fallen with the caecilian's tail. Thus, the toads were horrified that their emperor was defeated by a low class amphibian and was forced to let the caecilians go. With the brethren free, they migrated and found a settlement that would soon turn into a town you see, with each of them having it's own mayor over the years, even before I came along...

Akira was in awe at the story. It sounded familiar based on two stories from the Bible, "Whoa...say Jansen, the story premise sounded familiar," he noted. Anne looked at Akira and raised her eyebrow, "Familiar?" Jansen asked, "I'm willing to bet any world has its own Exodus. This is like the Exodus mixed with the story of David and Goliath. Pretty unique take if I say so myself," Akira complimented. Polly was waving her arms in excitement after hearing the whole story, "That caecilian showed that toad tyrant whose boss!" she boasted.

"Also, it kinda explains how you held Toadstool in disregard," Anne noted, "Well, he'd function more as a salesman than as a mayor I might add," Jansen replied, "Yeah, a bad one," Sprig joked, "So what do you normally do to celebrate Murkwell's freedom?" Hop Pop asked. Ooh, this outta be good, Akira thought, "Every year, we do reenactments, parades, feasts, and of course, the Four Cae-Sillies doing their nightly slapstick comedy routine. Which speaking of traditions, it's today! I want to invite you to Murkwell's annual celebration of our freedom," Jansen offered.

"Reenactments?" Anne quizzed, "I think it's like those war reenactments back home. You know, like that one time me, you, Sasha, Marcy, and Beo participated in that one paintball event that reenacted the Civil War?" Akira inquired. Anne remembered when they were participating in a paintball event together. Though Marcy was being in character, she was the first to be out of the game. Her friends tried their best to avenge their comrade, but ultimately, they were out of the game. Akira being humiliated the most.

"Oh yeah. I remember when you went to try to avenge Marcy and Beo by charging in like some sort of hero. Didn't go so well, did it?" Anne teased. Akira put his hands on his face, "Oh come on, Anne. Did you really need to pile it on there?" he groaned. "What's a paintball?" Sprig asked, "We're up tonight?! Yeah baby! I always look forward to that one time of year!" Zeppy whooped, "I like this guy now," Polly commented. Jansen began looking through papers and began to discuss the plans for the festival.

While preparations were underway, Akira and the caecilians showed Anne where he had been staying. Anne was impressed and it was gettin a bit hot underground as well, "This, Anne and Plantars, is where I have been staying all this time after Skittles found me," Akira explained, "So then where are the crops grown?" Hop Pop asked, "Up there, of course. I mean unless we drilled a hole, which is not a good idea," Berry told them, "Why wouldn't you drill a hole up in the ceiling?" Sprig asked, "Buddy boy, that would cause a cave in of course. The whole cave would come crashing down on us and many things up there would crumble down," Zeppy scolded.

"Fair point," Sprig replied. This caused Akira to shudder a bit. The idea of the whole cave coming down and collapsing on him was enough to give him a shiver. He was going over the list of activities that the festive holiday was having. He then noticed something off about the holiday. There was no name for it. Perhaps he should give it a name sooner or later.

By the time holiday preparations were complete an hour later, Akira, Anne, the Plantars, and the Four Caesillies picked a side for the reenactment. Akira, Hop Pop, and the Four Caesillies picked the caecilian side while Anne, Sprig, and Polly chose the side of the toads. Akira borrowed a wooden sword that they used for props in their reenactments and raised it as if he were some kind of hero from a fairy tale whereas Anne acted like the villain, even performing a villain laugh. Of course they dressed in costumes.

First, the groups as well as other caecilians, partook in a rehearsal for the reenactment that will take place on stage. Loofy was assigned for music to enhance the atmosphere. They made sure to follow the narration of the tale. Of course, Akira, Anne, Sprig, Zeppy, and Berry, being the mischievous ones, decided to improvise on some scenes. Mr. Rolfe, the organizer, to which Akira swore he was the announcer for the strider race last time he checked, disapproved of this at first. But Akira explained that some people in plays like to improvise. That and it would definitely add flavor to the tale, he had told Mr. Rolfe.

With some convincing, Mr. Rolfe allowed this and rehearsal continued.

The reenactment of the tale was about to begin. The crowd was lined up to see the show unfold. With the curtains currently down, Mr. Rolfe walked on stage, "Ladies and gentlephibians, I'd like to welcome you all this reenactment of the freedom of us caecilians and the founding of Murkwell. Staring the two humans, the Plantars from Wartwood, and the Four Caesillies!" Mr. Rolfe announced. He bowed and then stepped away as the audience cheered.

Mr. Rolfe, from a distance, began to narrate the story as the curtains raised to reveal background props of a forest. Loofy was playing a piano with his tail to get the atmosphere going

"Our tale begins when a group of settlers had set camp near a town of frogs," Mr. Rolfe narrated.

Several caecilians including the Caesilies slithered from the left side with a prop of a chariot. "I reckon there might be more towns ahead," said one caecilian, "About time. I am just starved," said Skittles. The acted like they were pushing the chariot with Berry acting like the transport animal. Mr. Rolfe continued his narration. Loofy blew on a horn as a sort of scare chord.

"When suddenly, toads attacked! They ransacked, stole, raided, and robbed the settlers of many belongings and captured the settlers!"

As the narration continued, Sprig, Polly, and other caecilians with the role of the toads, swept in and acted like they were raiding the caravan and capturing the settlers, "We got you now, slaves!" Sprig jeered. Though it was an act though. They tied up the settlers as another prop of a transport came with a cardboard wolf spider and a chariot. The curtains close as the music faded out. After that, the curtains opened back up to reveal another prop background of a sort of fortress with a prison yard.

"It was a sight of horror! Many caecilians that got captured were sold as slaves. No one could ever escape as they were under the watchful eyes of the toad emperor and conqueror, Toad Kahn!" Mr. Rolfe's voice sounded intense.

As he narrated, a mechanism raised a sort of throne chair and we see Anne, dressed as a sort of tyrant toad, laugh evily. The caecilian audience was confused at this for a moment, "The human girl volunteered to be the toad emperor. So just roll with it," Mr. Rolfe told the audience, "Anyway, the caecilians were worked to death. They scraped, they shoveled, they picked, they built, and they sculpted. Anyone that dared to defy the emperor was met with being thrown in a cage with a spider and then strung in a web."

They acted as if they were being worked to death as Mr. Rolfe had narrated. When one caecilian tried to escape, the "toads" captured him, "Thought you could run, eh? As punishment for your disobedience, you shall spend the day in the cage!" Anne boomed as the toad emperor. The actors through the caecilian in the makeshift cage with a makeshift spider. It opened it's mouth and the actor inside threw a web at the other, capturing it. Loofy then played the pianokeys to show how hopeless it seemed for the settlers. The curtains closed and after a few minutes showed a throne room where Akira and Anne were shown.

"The toad saw the caecilian settlers as copper makers. However, he viewed one as a brother of sorts as they played riddles and such," Mr. Rolfe narrated.

"Okay, okay, I got one right here. What walks on all fours in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening?" Anne asked as the toad emperor. Akira, as the caecilian that the toad treats like a brother, acted as if he were thinking. Then it sprung up, "Uh...a guy?" Akira answered. Anne acted as if she were surprised, "My goodness, how did you get that right? Wait a second...four as infant, two as a child, teen, and young adult, and then three as an old man because at that time due to age, he'd have a cane!"

The audience laughed and clapped at this scene. The curtains dropped again.

"But then, things started to change," Mr. Rolfe narrated.

Few minutes, the curtains showed a work area where the Polly as the toad was harassing the caecilian settler, "Faster maggot!" she boomed as she used a whip to harass the worker. Akira as the caecilian walks in and sees the caecilian being harassed, "Hey! Stop! Stop! Stop it! Leave that guy alone!" Akira yelled as he faked pushed the toad and Polly pretended to be knocked out. Akira had a terrified look on his face before running to the right of the stage. The curtains close again.

"The young caecilian, let's call him Davy, had fled the area, believing that he'd be a fugitive. He ran for miles, and then stumbled upon a prophet, played by Hop Pop. Only here, despite being on the side of the caecilians, was a newt," Mr. Rolfe narrated as Loofy played a flute.

The curtains showed a swamp with lanterns strung about to reveal Akira running into the prophet, "I heard everything about you. You've become slaves to those blasted toads. It's a shame. Those settlers are good folks," said the prophet, "Yeah. If only there was something I could do," Akira lamented, "Well, my pupil. It seems you were destined to free the caecilians from the toad emperor. I shall train you in ways you couldn't imagine," the prophet declared. Akira, as the caecilian hero, trained under Hop Pop, as the newt prophet, with many ways to fight the toads. The curtains close after that.

"For days and nights, the young caecilian trained in the ways of combat. Of course, he didn't have arms, but he found a way to outsmart the toad emperor. After days and nights of training, Davy returned,"

The curtains open to reveal a makeshift battleground with Anne on the throne. Akira approached her. He sighed, "Kahn, it's been fun with us over the years, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to teach you a lesson," Akira as Davy challenged, "After all I did for you?!" Anne as Kahn bellowed, "What?! Lied to me?!" Akira questioned. At this point, Anne took out a wooden sword and began to charge at Akira. The two began to fake clash for five minutes. Anne made an evil laugh, "You think a low class amphibian like you can best me?" she arrogantly boasted. Loofy was playing instruments to set the mood.

"The caecilians watched in anticipation as Davy battled the emperor. Davy was too quick for the tyrant. It was then that he was open to attack and at once, Davy had used a slingshot to throw the seed into the tyrant's right eye," Mr. Rolfe narrated.

As a makeshift seed, Akira as Davy threw a small orange at Anne, which splattered on her. Anne as the tyrant toad began to phantomime being blind at the right. It was then Davy pretended to trip Anne. Anne made a sort of defeating cry as she tumbled to the ground and waved a white flag. Loofy was playing the flute for victory.

"And thus...the young caecilian emerged victorious!" Mr. Rolfe cheered.

The caecilian acting as the settlers came into the scene and cheered for their hero. The actors that were the toads swallowed hard and began to run away, acting like they were running home to their mommies. The curtain closes again and then after a few minutes, we see years later of a settlement in a village that would one day become Murkwell. Akira was seen creating a flag and then raising it, showing the symbol of Murkwell as the settlers cheered

"With Davy being the savior and the first mayor of Murkwell, all was now well. The caecilians now lived in harmony. Thus ends our tale of how Murkwell was founded and how the caecilians were freed." Mr. Rolfe concluded with Loofy playing the last notes.

All the actors appeared and bowed to the audience as a cascade of cheers rang out. Jansen, who was in the crowd, laughed with joy at the performance.

For the rest of the holiday event, the gang participated in games such as rolly polly skeeball, fruit toss, fruit slice, and others, feasts, music as performed by Loofy and other orchestral bands, the Four Caesillie's comedy acts, and a parade on top of that. The gang were the center of it to celebrate Murkwell's freedom. Akira was dressed as Davy again as he and Anne, as well as the Plantars and Four Caesillies, were strolling by on a chariot pulled by a lizard.

However, in spite of enjoying this wondrous holiday, Akira felt a bit sad. He wished Marcy, Beo, and Sasha were a part of it. It felt kinda of empty. But he did take some pictures of the event as it went on. Hopefully, they'd like what he showed them. It seems that no matter where, the time, place, or whatever, any world, any realm, could have its own joyous holiday.

(Friends in My Heart - Kingdom Hearts)

After the holiday event, Akira spent another night at the Plantar's farm. He was outside, looking at the stars and red moon. It seemed serene and calm at this time of night, with the sound of the crickets chirping and katydids buzzing up a storm. It's amazing what it looks like at night in another world. As he let the calmness consume him like the ocean swallowing him up, Anne came outside.

"Hey Akira," she greeted. The boy turned to Anne, "Oh hey. Guess you weren't tired yet?" he asked, "Not yet. Whatcha doing?" she quizzed. Akira sighed and looked at the moon, "Reflecting," Akira answered. Anne looked at the moon too, "It is mesmerizing at night, ain't it?" she pondered. "Yeah. Who'd thought even the night sky in another world could be stunning. Especially the red moon," Akira acknowledged. He wondered if Beo, Sasha, and Marcy also saw the moon as well. He wished he could begin searching for them now. Unfortunately, due to the travel conditions to find answers, it was still unlikely. But likewise, he wasn't gonna just give up.

"There is something my Mom had told me before," Akira started. Anne perked up, "What?"

Akira stepped forward, "she told me this. The memories of our friends will always be in our hearts. Even if we miss them or are separated, we'll always be connected. Those are her words that I have clung to ever since landing here. I know my brother, Sasha, and Marcy are out there somewhere. And I know we'll find them," Akira said. A tear streamed and fell from one eye. He had a smile on his face as his hands were in his pocket. Anne smiled. She may have not known about his mom, but she could tell he takes her words to heart.

Akira yawned and went inside to crash on the couch. The words of his mother echoing into his head.

Well, that's all for now. Sorry this has taken so long. Between Halloween and Thanksgiving coming and going and a busy life, this was a slow update. Not to mention Christmas coming up this weekend. But also, life had been harsh. First of all, my cat, Pretty Kitty, *sob* had passed away in September. She was 12 years old.*sniff* I was completely devastated when I heard she had cancer and was gonna be slow in receiving treatment so she had to be put down.

Second was in October I caught COVID. Don't worry I'm okay now. I pretty much have a mask on me wherever I go now. So...with 2022 coming to an end and 2023 around the corner, I'm hoping next year is better. And all the things I'm looking forward too. Plus, my package came yesterday for Marcy's Journal: The Guide to Amphibia. And I'm liking the cute illustrations so far.

I'm gonna be really honest. Out of all the cartoons, Amphibia has left a big impact on my life. I'm currently rewatching it from start to finish in order to celebrate Disney's 100th anniversary.

So...I think that's it. I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays to all and to all a good night.

So I leave this...

May your heart...be your guiding key. °o°
