Bye bye! Here it is my Young Prince's Adventure-story's new chapter. See you in the next chapter.
"What are you doing, boy?" Julius asked after sharpening his horns against the trunk of one of the trees, after which he saw Adrien rubbing his head on the other side of that same tree.
"At what stage me can i have horns?" Adrien asked. "Maybe if I rub my head against a tree, so it can my horn to grow faster."
"Heh heh! Not it takes a long time, if you have inherited at all nature my features," Julius said.
"Am I?" Adrien asked, finishing his head rubbing tree against the tree trunk.
"Well, we'll have to find out about that," Julius started running to the right.
Adrien was happy, and started running with his father to the right, and tried to stay his father's run on the beat.
Julius looked at his son, and beckoned then with its horns Adrien to run faster.
Adrien ran faster, causing the snow on the ground to fly slightly into the air, until Adrien finally got to run alongside his father.
"Heh heh!" Julius laughed with Adrien. Finally they stopped, and Julius looked at the sun, for Julius remembered one thing.
"What now, dad?" Adrien asked looking at his dad curiously.
"Adrien, today is our forest's annual Groundhog Day event," Julius said.
"Groundhog Day? Mom never talked about such an event. What is that event?" Adrien asked.
"Groundhog Day is an event, where the marmota comes out of its hole winter for certain during, more specifically, at this time in the winter. On Groundhog Day, the groundhog walks out of his hole, and trying to figure out, can the marmota see its shadow, or not. If a marmota sees his's shadow, so the winter lasts longer, but if the marmota can't see his shadow, then spring will come," Julius said.
"Alright!" Adrien said excitedly.
"Marmota's home is here in the direction of, "Julius said, and led Adrien near the marmota's hole, when they saw Robyn, and tired Scent to arrive near the marmota's home at the same time, when Friend owl was near the marmota's hole.
"I have things to take care of in the forest, so wait here, then I'll pick you up later, Adrien," Julius said, and left I mumbled domestic at close range.
"Yes dad," Adrien looked at his father, and then turned his gaze to the Friend owl.
"Okay, everyone. It's time for our forest's annual Groundhog Day event. In this annual event, a marmota walks out of his hole, and finds out if he can see his shadow or not. If the marmota can see his shadow," Friend owl was saying.
"Winter goes on, doesn't it? Mom was talking about that earlier," Robyn said.
"Yes, Robyn. But if the marmota can't see his shadow," Friend owl was saying.
"So that's a sign that spring is coming, isn't it?" Some rabbit asked. "Father said so".
"Yes. Come on, marmota, do your job!" Friend owl said, but the owl did not come out of its hole. "Marmota?!"
"I won't agree to this anymore! Why don't you try to find out in other ways whether spring will come or not?!" Marmota called from his hole, which was in a hollow under a large tree, on one of whose roots Friend owl was standing. "Everyone always stares at me at this event!"
"Marmota! Marmota!" Some children screamed to get the marmota to come out of its hole.
"Well, there are only children here, and you would tell the children best," Friend owl said. "And the young prince, to be more precise, the son of Julius is here now".
"Fine. But I'm just doing it for the kids!" Brown marmota yelled, walking out of his hole with his hands in front of his eyes. Finally, the marmota stopped, and prepared to take his hand away from his eyes.
Some children saw the marmota's shadow.
"Oh no! The shadow is visible!" Some whispered nervously.
"So I guess I'll continue my winter sleep," Scent said.
"I really don't like this," Marmota said, as it prepared to remove its hands from in front of its eyes.
Then the cloud moved in front of the sun, and the marmota's shadow disappeared, for now it was dusk.
"Huh? I can't see my shadow!" Marmota announced, taking his hand away from his brown eyes. Then the marmota smiled. "Spring comes!"
"Spring is coming! Spring is coming!" The children shouted with joy.
"Oh no!" Friend owl said, knowing full well that the coming of spring would mean that the Twitter painteds would once again be singing their "so lovely", love songs through the forest. "My peaceful naps are ruined again. The same thing every spring when it comes to Twitter painteds".
"About Twitter painteds? What are they?" Adrien asked.
"I'll tell you, when you're old enough," Friend owl said. "Now, however, you are still too young to hear about it".
"Is the coming of spring so much fun?" Guest, the green-eyed fawn asked arriving. Fawn had little horns on her head, and there was no spot in its dark brown fur. Then the fawn looked at the ones on her head horns. "I'm Champ, and these little guys are the Winner, and the Master".
"We haven't seen you never before," Robyn said, wrinkling her nose at Champ's insolence.
"Well, I live in the forest, which is meadow's on another side," Champ said. Then Champ raised with his mouth from the country small, down having fallen tree a branch. "I saw today the hunter my cave close by. It hunter imitated this a branch's looking a hunting-whistle deer voice to entice deer to walk trap, but i'am i sneaked his back to be the bush behind, and i jumped him towards by hitting him directly his back, and i got him to drop hunting-whistle into the snow, before than i ran run away."
"Don't lie, Champ," The green-eyed female-deer said, as she approached the marmota's home. "Actually you ran away immediately, when you saw that hunter."
"Mom! You always bother me always, when I make new friends! How many times do I have to say to you, that do not disturb me, when I make new friends?" Champ asked, and then looked at Adrien:
"You don't seem to have horns yet. Who are you?"
"I am Adrien, son of The Great Prince of the Forest, Julius," Adrien said. He didn't like, how rude Champ was talking to his mother, whose voice sounded familiar to Adrien's for some reason.
"Are you as brave, as your father?" Champ smiled arrogantly.
"Champ, let's go home!" Champ's mother yelled at her son.
"Mom! Don't disturb me, when I make new friends," Champ said to his mom. Then Champ walked with his mom off from the place.
"Sorry, honey," Champ's mother said to her son as they left the scene.
"Never mind that bluster, Adrien. Champ really must be lying. I'll see you later," Robyn said as she, and Scent walked away, and then even the other animals walked away.
"Friend owl, have you seen that Champ before?" Adrien asked.
"I am. Champ is Joe's son, and the female-deer you just saw is Joe's wife, Karen. Would you like me to keep you company, when you get home, Adrien?" Friend owl asked.
"No thanks. My dad said he was taking me home," Adrien said thinking of Joe in disgust. From what he had just seen, Joe's son resembled his father in his brashness.
"Okay," Friend owl flew away after the marmota returned to its hole.
Adrien walked forward a bit, and then laid down in the snow in front of a tree near the marmota's hole, and rested his chin on the root of the tree in front of him. Adrien felt really lonely now being alone in the forest.
"Mom,"Adrien thought of his mother Rose, and cried a little, before he closed his eyes, when he fell asleep.
(Dream)
Adrien was running in a meadow with tall grass and butterflies flying around, and the sun was setting.
"Heh heh!" Adrien laughed, as he ran in the meadow, and then looked at the butterfly flying in the meadow.
Finally, Adrien stopped, and then looked at the butterfly.
"Adrien," A familiar voice said from his left, and Adrien looked to his left, until he saw his mother standing on a hill with many butterflies flying below, and above.
"Mom!" Adrien smiled happily, lifted the basket higher, and wagged his tail a little, and ran up the hill, and pressed his head against his mother's upper body, and then Adrien's mother leaned her head lightly against her son's neck. "I miss you so much, mom".
"Hush! Hush! Oh well. Everything will be alright," Rose said touching Adrien's head with her head. "You'll see."
"Mom, why did you leave? Why you don't ran home with me, when we heard the hunter's the gun another shot while we're in the meadow?" Adrien asked.
"There is a time for everything in nature," Rose said, raising her head higher to see her son. "When something disappears, sosomething new growin place not the same, like before, but something new, and wonderful nonetheless."
"But I'm so alone," Adrien said.
"Adrien, I will never leave your heart, and I will never leave your father's heart. I will always be with you, even if you can't see me," Rose said. "I'm here, I'm here, I'm here".
(End of the dream)
Adrien awoke to find the sun setting and rubbing his head against the root of the tree to his left:
"It was just a dream".
"I'm here, I'm here!" Adrien heard someone yelling from the direction of the meadow.
"Is there a deer in the meadow?" Adrien thought.
"I'm here, I'm here!"Adrien heard the sound of the deer again, and walked carefully towards the meadow, curiosity finally winning.
Adrien walked over towards meadow, and then asked cautiously looking at the meadow on another on the side of to be forest direction:
"Mum?"
"I'm here, I'm here," The same voice repeated again.
Adrien walked further into the meadow, until he stopped in front of a large rock covered in snow.
Wuh wuh! Dog's barking sound! Suddenly, the sound of dogs could be heard from the forest on the opposite side of the meadow, causing Adrien to freeze in fear.
"The hunter, the hunter!" Crows emerged from the forest on the opposite side of the meadow, and flew towards the forest behind Adrien.
Julius looked at the tree he had just caught Adrien's scent near, and then heard a commotion, and then looked up at the sky to see crows flying in the sky, and then looked in the direction of the meadow, where the crows had just flown out of:
"Adrien!"
Julius ran towards the meadow, and saw the dogs running towards Adrien:
"Run, Adrien!"
Then Julius saw Adrien freeze in place in fear, and then Julius ran to the meadow, jumped over a rock, kicked the dogs, and kicked them with his horns away from Adrien as the dogs tried to bite and scratch Julius, and then Julius nudged Adrien with his horns, gently knocking Adrien into the snow project, causing Adrien's fear to disappear, and he was able to move again, and then looked at his father, who was fighting with his horns, and legs, throwing the dogs, and kicking them away from Adrien, until Julius saw something shiny in the forest on the opposite side of the meadow, and realized it was a hunter rifle:
"Run, Adrien!"
Adrien immediately started running ahead of his father into the forest.
Bam! Adrien, and Julius ran into the forest, and then arrived at Julius's cave.
"Adrien, what were you thinking?! You could have died!" Julius shouted to his son. "Area any more ever be so careless!"
"Sorry, dad. But I just heard a deer call in the meadow, and that sounded exactly like mom's," Adrien said looking down towards his his legs in puzzlement at the same time, when his ears were landing lower.
"It wasn't your mother. It actually was the hunter to use the sound of the hunting-whistle, which the junter used to try to lure you into walking right into the trap set by the hunter. I am sorry, that I yelled at you recently, Adrien. I don't know what to do, if i lost you, as I am already lost your mother. You'll understand that one day," Julius leaned Adrien on his cheek lightly Adrien's cheek against, which as a result Adrien smiled slightly.
"Dad, I don't think you're afraid of anything," Adrien said.
"Adrien, I'm only brave, when I have to be. Adrien, being brave isn't the same as looking for danger," Julius said. "Do you really think I'm not afraid of anything? Well, you're wrong assuming such. I was recently scared."
"Really?" Adrien asked.
"Yes. I was afraid I would lose you, like I already lost your mother," Julius said.
"Hm. Well, I guess princes are afraid of something too," Adrien said as his ears perked up.
"Yes. Let's go sleep, Adrien," Julius said walking with Adrien inside his cave.
After getting inside his father's cave, Adrien stopped, looked at his father, thinking of his mother:
"He's never coming back, is he?"
"No," Julius said. "Adrien, you're under arrest until tomorrow morning. Adrien, when you're out in the forest, try to be careful, and think carefully about what you're doing. And try to stay out of trouble at the same time."
"Yes, dad. Good night" Adrien said as he went to sleep.
"Looks, like I need to coach Adrien on a couple of things," Julius mused, and finally fell asleep.
