Good evening MANS,Nature Anon here. I had a free moment so I bring to you another tale of old. This one isn't about the origins of tempanimals rather a short tale mostly told to children before bed. This tale is called The Boy and the Giant Purple Hawk. It is a long one feel free to skip. Apologies if it is written poorly it is late for me.
The story goes,their once was a noble family feared for their strength and wits. They ruled cruelly taking advantage of their people whenever they could. All born to the family had jet black hair and silver eyes. If a child was born in their land with these traits they'd be stolen by the nobles and raised as on of them. One mother who's child was taken asked the gods to punished the family for taking her child. The gods hearing the woman's prayer placed a curse on the family.
Years later a child was born to the family with emerald green eyes instead of the normal silver. The green eyed child was rejected by the family over and over again. He was forced to live and eat with the servants. He was never allowed to speak to anyone. Then one day a week before the boy's 5 birthday the boy was told "Go to the forest and climb the mountain, at the top of the mountain grows golden roses, bring one back on the day of your 5th birthday and you'll earn your place in the family." The boy excited headed to the forest right way. He survived many hardships but made it to the mountain top, yet he couldn't find the rose.
"Rose, Rose, Where are you Rose?" the boy called searching for the rose. Suddenly the ground shook as a giant purple hawk with a human-like face landed next to the boy. The Hawk spoke "A child? On my mountain? What would a child come out here to seek?" the child with tears in his eyes said "I need a golden rose so my family will accept me." "Hmm very well, I shall give you a rose and carry you down the mountain, this is no place for a child" the hawk responded.
True to his word the hawk produced a golden rose and took the child down the mountain. The child rushed home only to find his house completely empty all that remained was a note. "You fool, you actually believed we'd ever give you a place in the family, your nothing but a green eyed freak." the boy cried clutching the rose and the note to his chest until a voice ran out "They abandoned you, didn't they?" the boy looked around before noticing the hawk had followed him. The boy simply nodded in response. The hawk angered by this took the boy and proclaimed "You are now my chick!" before soaring to the center of the biggest city and proclaiming "The nobles of your land are evil, banish them now or you all shall perish!" the citizens fearful followed the hawk's orders and banished the nobles. The hawk to over guiding the people and when the greened eyed boy came of age he took over the land leading it to prosper.
