The Loud Ark: Chapter 12 - Preparations and Starlight Nights

In the Royal Village, everything was peaceful, the people were doing their everyday activities and businesses. Adults working on their jobs, teens hanging out, and kids playing in the playgrounds. But suddenly something usurpingly happened, they stopped to hear the sound of a shofar horn and the ground rumbling coming down from Adelaide blowing a shofar horn.

Coming up from a hill was Lincoln leading the way, with Tinkerbell, Lori, Ronnie Anne, Bobby, Luna, Lisa, Lily, Fawn, Vidia, and Iridessa with them African Lions, Frill-necked Lizard, Bengal Tigers, Leghorn Chickens, Western Lowland Gorillas, African Bush Elephants, Bonteboks, Rabbits, Northwestern Wolves, Thylacines, Ring-tailed Lemur, Eastern Black Rhinoceros, Reticulated Giraffe, Red-billed Oxpecker, Yellow-billed Oxpecker, Ruppell's Vultures, Hippopotamus, Meerkat, Snowshoe Hares, and Western Cattle Egret.

On the left side Leni, Sid, CJ, Carlitos, Clyde, Rusty, Lola, and Lana with Southern Ostriches, Chimpanzees, Addaxes, Red Pandas, Aldabra Giant Tortoises, Eurasian Red Squirrels, Mandrills, Waterbucks, Alpacas, Bactrian Camels, and Przewalksi's Wild Horse.

On the Right Side, Lynn, Adelaide, Carlotta, Carl, Liam, Stella, Zach, and Lucy with Indian Elephants, Masai Giraffes, Southeast African Cheetahs, Japanese Raccoon Dogs, Red Kangaroos, African Penguins, Grevy's Zebras, Cape Buffaloes, Koalas, Grizzly Bear, Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, Thorold's Deer, Great White Pelicans, Nile Crocodiles, German Shepherds, Scarlet Macaws, and American Bison.

They walked through the streets of the town, everyone stopped what they were doing and they were speechless and shocked. Vehicles and Carts stopped as Policemen shouted at everyone to make a path.

Policemen: "Move! Clear the way! Come on! Clear the way!"

Then the Louds and their friends were marching down the streets with a parade of animals behind them. The people were scared, puzzled, and amazed to see all those birds and animals coming, some they had never seen before and the dangerous ones had not attacked them. Was this what Lincoln had been telling them about?

Soon the Group and mass of animals left the village and walked up many hillsides before they saw the ark coming in front of them in the distance Fawn looked back and spoke to the animals.

Fawn: "Here we are! There's the Ark that will protect you!"

The kids brought the animals to a field in front of the ark where they will stand for now. The Kids went into the Loud House to find their parents with worried faces, they saw them and saw they were safe and sound as they hugged them.

"You had us worried Lincoln. Did they hurt you?" Asked Lynn Sr.

"They did," Said Lincoln sadly. "But my friends and my sisters were here to protect me. Those people wouldn't listen if only they could see the reason they could be saved."

"Lincoln, honey." Said Rita. "It's just that's how things are they made their choice, you did your best."

"Mom! Dad!" Shouted Lana. "You're gonna love what we brought back! Come on!"

The humans left the house and onto the field and stopped to look in awe and bewilderment. Right in front of them gathering around the field and what's left of the forest, From all over the World two of every kind of Animal have been brought by God to the ark. Birds and Bats filled the trees while the land animals filled the fields.

"This is amazing!" Exclaimed Becca.

"Es asombroso!" Said Carlos.

"They must be all hungry from such a long trip, I'm gonna have some good meals for them to eat," said Rosa.

The family enters the field amazed at the animals Aslan has brought to them. Carl, CJ, Carlitos, Carlotta, Rosa, Hector, Frida, Carlos, Bobby, and Lori walked around and petted some of the animals like the Southern Ostriches, Wild Bactrian Camels, Zebra Duikers, Alpine Ibex, Red Lechwe, and Lowland Bongos.

They saw that they were calm and peaceful with no harm what's done ever. Canaries and House Mice with Tabby Cats lying down with Dogs, Golden Retrievers, American Red foxes next to the Leghorn Chickens and Eastern Cottontail Rabbits, Mearn's Coyotes with Greater Roadrunners, Spotted Hyenas side by side with the African Lions, Grant's Zebras, Blue Wildebeest, Southern Meerkats, Tanzanian Red-billed Hornbills, and Southern Warthogs, Dingos with the Red Kangaroos, Red-necked Wallabies, and Emus, Bengal Tigers laying alongside the Sloth Bears, Indian Elephants, Indian Leopards, Western Lowland Gorillas, Reticulated Pythons, Northern Plains Langur, and Bornean Orangutans. Animals that are dangerous to humans like Cobras, Wolves, Coyotes, Cougars, Jaguars, Alligators, and such have become peaceful, and even the Snakes, Wasps, Bats, and Hawks mostly the enemies of fairies have become peaceful with them.

Even the Lion slept down with the lamb as a young Cheviot Sheep lays down next to a Male Barbary Lion resting on the field, a pair of Holland Lop Rabbits bounded across the grass passing a Pair of Asiatic Cheetahs. A pair of Cape Buffaloes had Yellow-billed Oxpeckers, Western Cattle Egrets, White-Headed Buffalo Weavers, Western Yellow Wagtails, Golden-Breasted Starlings, American Redstarts, Blue-Bellied Rollers, Zebra Finches, Common Snipes, Eastern Screech Owls, Thick-Billed Ravens, Monk Parakeets, and Eurasian Golden Orioles on its back and horns. Lincoln and the others were checking on the animals. Lola, Lana, Adelaide, Liam, Stella, and Zach got some hay bales and pole sticks for the small animals to rest on so they wouldn't get stepped on. Same with the bugs were provided with flowerboxes with plants as Fawn, Silvermist, and Rosetta guided them to the spots.

"Let's See, Siberian Tigers." Shouted Sid. A Pair of Siberian Tigers growled nearby as Sid was making a list of the animals and making sure they were there. "Western White-bearded Wildebeests!"

Several White-bearded Wildebeests walked by Sid. Ronnie Anne, Bobby, and Maria walked among the animals as they heard a humming sound turning to see a pair of Huacaya Alpacas causing Ronnie Anne to gasp. "Alpacas!"

The three came to pet them as Sid passed by them. "Huacaya Alpacas! Be careful they can spit!" Exclaimed Sid. "Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches!"

"Down here!" Shouted Fawn who was with them. Leni was still freaked out by the bugs, especially spiders.

"It's okay Leni they will not harm you for harm is not in them," Stella said kindly to Leni as she held two Greenbottle Blue Tarantulas as Sunill approached them for a closer look

"Let's See Okay, Greenbottle Blue Tarantulas, Noe Wild Yaks!" Shouted Sid as a pair of Wild Yaks appeared in front of Lincoln and Sid. "Grevy's Zebras!"

They yelped as a pair of Grevy's Zebras nuzzled their heads in the kids and petted them in response.

"Don't worry God will protect us all!" Said Lincoln. "I think we have some help loading the rest of the supplies and valuables."

. . . . .

Some of the animals assisted in loading the supplies into the ark Sid and Adelaide were riding on Indian Elephants while Lincoln and Ronnie Anne were riding on African Bush Elephants, as they carried the loads with their trunks and tusks, Liam, Hector, Stanley, and Lynn Sr. got carts full of supplies pulled Texas Longhorn, Highland Cattle, Shire Horse, and Provence Donkeys. The Casagrandes and Changs loaded the supplies on the backs of the Dromedary and Wild Bactrian Camels, Llamas, and Huacaya Alpacas. The Louds carried some of the supplies with their hands with help of the some Apes and Monkeys.

"Time to wash off kids!" Shouted Lynn Sr. The Kids were getting a water rise break as the Elephants and Mammoths sprayed them with their trunks. Soon the supplies and food were loaded, and Lincoln was relaxing with a comic book as a Hamadryas Baboon brought him a lemon.

"Thanks," Said Lincoln after drinking some. "You can have some too." Offering the baboon to drink. Later, Lincoln, Tinkerbell, The Baboon alongside his mate were drinking lemonade.

. . . . .

It was now nighttime. The animals were asleep except for the nocturnal ones. The kids decided to sleep outside with the animals, Lori, Bobby, Luna, Ronnie Anne, CJ, Carl, Clyde, Lynn, Lucy, Lisa, Liam, Zach, Sid, and Adelaide were sleeping on the backs of African Bush Elephants, Southern White Rhinoceroses, Dromedary Camels, Mountain Gorillas, Gemsbok, Southern Ostriches, and Polar Bears while European Badgers, Eurasian Lynxes, Long-Tailed Chinchillas, Eastern Chipmunks, Red-Eared Sliders, Golden Lion Tamarins, Hoffmann's Two-Toed Sloths, and White-throated Toucans slept huddling with the kids and large animals.

The same went with Leni, Stella, Rusty, Carlotta, Luan, Lola, Lana, Carlitos, and Lily, alongside Jaguars, Reticulated Giraffes, Giant Pandas, Spotted Hyenas, African Wild Dogs, Giant Anteaters, Grey-crowned Cranes, Mountain Reindeer huddled alongside Koalas, Green Iguanas, African Grey Parrots, Common Genets, Sulphur-crested Cockatoos, Horned Parakeets, British Stoats, and Green Tree Pythons

Lincoln lays down resting his head on the back of a Bull Eastern Moose with his mate, the fairies resting on the antlers sleeping alongside them Siberian Tigers, African Lions, Reichow's Guineafowls, Grant's Zebras, Atlantic Puffins, Virginia Opossums, and Barbary Doves.

They now have two days left before the flood comes with the last of the supplies being loaded up. Soon it will be time to Load all the Animals onto the Ark. This will be a big task to do as long as Limvoln has trust and faith in God. The Entire village will be here to check in for the boat, and a last chance for the City of Enoch to turn back from their sins.
