EPISODE 1: "Foolish, Foolish, Little Animals"

   "This way, come along now," called out Admiral Fancypride. Mythical Quietwolf and Lucky Bravepaw shook their heads.
   "Stop treating us like cubs," mumbled Mythical, her blue and white fur gleaming in the pale moonlight.
   "Or kids," said Lucky, her being a goat. Admiral just puffed up her chest and continued marching on, ignoring the arctic wolf and goat. Though Lucky and Mythical still questioned on why they agreed to come on this quest, Admiral simply replied that she had offered them a lovely reward in gems and that they would thank her later.
   Approaching an abandoned den, the kangaroo peered inside what seemed to be in the fashion of a Small House and announced that the den was empty. Inside, a wooden table sat in the middle of the one-room home with a steaming bowl of buttery pasta on top of it. Hungry, the three animals sat around the table.
   "How about we tell stories?!" exclaimed Lucky Bravepaw, wanting to share the tale of her first Phantom encounter. Admiral shook her head.
   "No, no, sweet little goat. There is much to do! Now, how about you two fix me up a bed of some sort? Go along now!" replied Admiral Fancypride as she slid off her sparkling pieces of armor. But Mythical and Lucky stood in place, a fierce look in their eyes.
   "What have you done for us?!" they said at the same time angrily. Admiral's face when blank, but then she smiled a fake smile and her eyes narrowed to slits, so the two best friends, goat and arctic wolf, went speed-walking away to find the bed. The purple kangaroo watched them go and she clasped her hands together excitedly. She bit her own lip to stop herself from laughing.
Silly, silly little animals. Foolish, foolish little animals. Admiral Fancypride chanted in her head.
Stay tuned for episode 2!

EPISODE 2: "A New Village"
   After setting the bed for the demanding kangaroo, Lucky and Mythical asked if they could go on a quick walk to scout the area. Thinking that they were doing the work for her, Admiral Fancypride hastily agreed and shooed them out. Little did that spoiled purple kangaroo know was that Lucky Bravepaw and Mythical Quietwolf were plotting.
   "Shh...we don't want her to hear our escape plans!" murmured Lucky the blue and orange goat as she blinked, watching the spectacular sunset. "We have to get as far ahead as we can so that Admiral doesn't catch up," the goat continued and Mythical, also her best friend nodded her head.
   "Then let's get going!" declared Mythical the arctic wolf. A gentle breeze ruffled her smooth blue and white fur as their colorful physiques soon turned into silhouettes due to the sunset.
   A few hours later, when night had fell, the two buddies had made a small shelter in a cave near the entrance to a nearby village. It certainly didn't look like Jamaa. The friends had agreed that Admiral Fancypride would wake up, fuming with rage and would storm out of the small den, in search of the two animals that had unwillingly accompanied her on her journey. She would assume they had entered the village when they were in an obvious hiding spot. From countless games of hide-and-seek with dozens of other animals, Mythical and Lucky had learned that nobody seemed to look in the obvious hiding spots.
   Their predictions were correct. They were able to spot the kangaroo, fully armed with her spectacular mystical armor. It clanked about as she hopped along the faint dirt path. Admiral entered the village, unaware of the two pairs of eyes watching her intently. After a few minutes of patient waiting, both goat and arctic wolf scurried out of the cave and quickly entered the village. The species of animals were much different than those in Jamaa; toucans, panthers, giant pythons, and other animals that seemed to have originated from tropical forests. The dens were in the trees; wooden bridges led to other dens and likely the most enchanting part of the village was that a large, floating leaf would be waiting at the foot of each den and would lift any animal straight off the ground and would deposit them at the den. Lucky and Mythical were able to stay there for a few days; this village didn't use tickets, diamonds or gems...they used beautifully carved emeralds and circular turquoise stones, smooth as silk.

EPISODE 3: "Friend Or Foe?"

   The two buddies one day woke up to a giant snake who slithered up to them.
    "Greetingsss, friendsssss," he hissed as his fangs glinted in the morning light. He gracefully slid around pillows, furniture and other objects before bringing up their journey.
    "Rumor hasss it that you two are on a journey? With that kangaroo? Admiral Fancypride?" he said as he slurred all of his words. Mythical Quietwolf and Lucky Bravepaw nodded their heads slowly, wondering why he knew about this when they had discussed their travels with no one but Admiral. The goat and arctic wolf looked at each other worriedly. Was this snake spying for Admiral?
    "How do you know this?!" blurted out Lucky the goat as she fiercely glared at his bright yellow scales, and his forked tongue moving about in between his sharp fangs. The snake had a sly look on his face. Well, even if Lucky hadn't said that, he still would've.
    "Have you been spying on us, you creep?!" yelled Mythical as she joined in with her buddy. The already narrow eyes of the snake narrowed even more.
    "Sssuch accusssationsss..." hissed the snake. "I wasss hoping to join you on your journey." he continued before Lucky Bravepaw stamped a hoof on the ground.
   "Look, snake, I don't mean to stereotype, but you...seem...suspicious. There, I said it." declared Lucky plainly.
(sorry for the short episode! I have a lot to do today so I'm hoping to get a much longer episode tomorrow!)

EPISODE 4: "Bunny Village"

   After what had seemed like hours of persuasion, Lucky Bravepaw and Mythical Quietwolf had agreed to let the strange python accompany them on their journey. He had promised protection due to the mysterious green venom that dripped from his mouth.
   "Sssso...we mussst essscape thisss Admiral you ssspeak of...Let usss go quickly," suggested the snake.
    "Before we go, we must know your name." said Lucky and Mythical at the same time.
    "I sssee...my name isss Victory Canyonssscout. Now, we mussst go before that purple kangaroo friend of yoursss ssspotsss ussss..." he beckoned as Victory was already slithering out of the door. The two other animals followed, still suspicious but the yellow python seemed to know his way around. For a few days, the animals traveled through the rainforest biome, feasting on it's abundant source of fruits and vegetables. The goat and arctic wolf started to trust the snake now. He fetched them breakfast, lunch, and supper and told excellent stories around the fires they lit before finding a suitable den to sleep in for the night. When he told stories, always at the most thrilling parts the flames in the fire seemed to leap and hiss, emphasizing their movements.
   After a full week of venturing through the rainforest, what had seemed like a tropical paradise faded into more temperate deciduous forest. A few Enchanted Hollow dens were nearby, and cheerful bunnies hopped along a cobblestone path, worn by the generations of different animals that had walked across it. Soon enough they approached a village, which was also different from Jamaa. It was mainly inhabited by rodents and other small, furred creatures. Some animals lived in trees, but most dens were in the fashion of Enchanted Hollow dens. They again had a different currency. They looked like gems except with less variation of color; hues varied from browns to pale golds and oranges. Citrine gems were used for a lot of the coins.
    Victory, Lucky, and Mythical greatly enjoyed themselves here. Victory was incredibly able to expand his palette even though the restrictions of what carnivores ate allowed him to. He gulped down the salads various rodents brought to him, although each resident seemed the slightest bit afraid that Victory Canyonscout would gulp them down in an instant.
    On their second day there, Mythical decided she would go to the market and purchase some supplies so that they could continue their travels. Lucky agreed to come, as the two were the closest of friends.
    "But my dear friendsss...why go on when we have all the pleasssuresss of thisss wonderful town? The villagersss are quite nice, and there'sss plenty of densss we can easssily afford. Why ssspend our money when it'sss potential money for our new den?" he argued, but no anger rose into his voice. Victory Canyonscout flicked his tongue out, and once again his eyes narrowed. But he chuckled, and said: "I sssee, perhapsss you can go without me. I mussst ressst up. Excussse me for sssounding ssso ssstrangely sssuspiciousss." The arctic wolf and goat dashed off to the market, each with a cloth bag packed with citrine gems and other thin, sparkling coins.
EPISODE 5: "Thrilling Pursuit"
   The market was cheerful as the rest of the town was. Genuine smiles spread across the faces of the rodents as they exchanged a plethora of foreign fruits and delicately woven accessories. Mythical Quietwolf and Lucky Bravepaw scampered around, clutching their cloth bags filled with the bunny village's orange-toned currency. Soon the cloth bags were no longer filled with sparkling gems but with supplies. After about a half an hour of shopping, they returned to where Victory was. He seemed like he was talking to someone else.
    Victory hadn't noticed Mythical and Lucky, so the two peered in to see that he really was chattering away with someone else. The arctic wolf and goat were shocked. Out of all people that the python could've been discussing something with, it was none other than Admiral Fancypride. She seemed like she had recently given her fur a thorough wash and had polished her gleaming Mystical Armor. Mythical Quietwolf and Lucky Bravepaw glanced at each other worriedly and both nodded. They ran away, already panting as they had put in as much effort as possible to escape quick. Their rushed footsteps must have been overheard by the snake and kangaroo as a  dramatic chase began. The two buddies scrambled out of the town, only inches away from the clutches of the obnoxious purple kangaroo and sly venomous python. Mythical and Lucky dove into a large bush and bursted through it to another bush, confusing their attackers. They steered away, barely out of sight and caught sight of a broad oak tree with a hole at it's stump. They squeezed through and covered the entrance with a lush patch of undergrowth. The two breathed heavily and almost immediately fell into a deep sleep.

EPISODE 6: "A Sweet Return"
Sorry for such a short, boring episode!
   After sleeping through the rest of the day and the night that followed, Mythical and Lucky woke up to harvest food. They left their supplies in the tree and gathered some berries in a makeshift basket. They also found a plethora of strange medicinal herbs and packed them into the basket for later use.
    "That was...crazy!" exclaimed Mythical Quietwolf. Her fluffy tail swayed in the violent wind. Although summer was approaching, the forest had an ever-changing temperature. Lucky the goat agreed hurriedly and nibbled on the bitter fruits they had managed to find. One in particular was rather sweet; golden peach-flavored juice from the berry ran down the lips of the two animals as they feasted on what they had collected.
    "We have to ration carefully," warned Mythical, realizing how much they were gulping down. Her best friend agreed and they packed the remainder into their cloth bags. "And, now that I think about it, we should get out of this forest. I need to get back to Jamaa!" continued the arctic wolf. Her blue scarf billowed in the harsh breeze.
   After a few long days of traveling, the terrain seemed Jamaasian-like and they arrived at the entrance of their beloved city. It was just like they had remembered; cobblestone lining the elegant streets of Jamaa Township with the fountain sparkling brilliantly. Mythical Quietwolf and Lucky Bravepaw inhaled the crisp air of Jamaa. They ran over to what seemed like a new bakery. Treats for animals from cheetahs to crocodiles lined the crowded shelves. Cakes crammed the display windows and freshly baked pastries filled the air with their scent. Two pandas were sitting at a table digging in to a cherry pie. The stem from the cherries that had been put into the pie were right on the counter, showing everything was fresh and delicious all the same. The arctic wolf and goat filled with content.
    "Let's eat!" exclaimed the two at the same time, happiness decorating the edges of their voices.
EPISODE 7: "Bakers? Or not?"
Buttercream-frosted cupcakes and sugary blueberry scones along with what seemed like hundreds of other delicious treats piled up on a platter that was being served to Mythical Quietwolf and Lucky Bravepaw. Lucky immediately snatched a jewel-encrusted plate with a slice of carrot cake. Mythical simply took a sugar-cookie, with delicious frosting. It didn't take long for the two to get extremely full.
    Well, it wasn't much of a surprise that everybody in the bakery was full. The prices for the gigantic platters was 10 gems! Although it shocked all the animals in the room, there was more pleasure than shock and everyone continued digging in to the amazing pastries. The bakers looked content, but each and every one of them seemed to have a problem with one of their eyes. To Mythical and Lucky's amazement, one of the eyes kept on loosening; to tell the truth, it didn't look much like an eye at all! Even stranger were the black things that kept poking out of their aprons...
Sorry for the short episode!!
