The little llama's eyes were squeezed shut as he fell down into the dark abyss. He kept on falling and falling for what seemed like minutes. Wind continued to blow his fur up as he descended. 'Will this ever end?' he thought, just before he finally landed hard onto solid ground.

When he landed, he opened his eyes slowly. Would this be the place where he could live freely as a llama, with other llamas? He hoped so, and maybe he could find his family there too. However did he end up in a land full of alpacas? Would he find his family? Would he find a new and meaning life? As he opened his eyes..he saw something aproaching. Something with four almost llama like legs.

The figure walked across the dark wood that the llama didn't know he was sitting on until now. Clop clop clop. The figure stopped in front of him and looked down at him with llama-like eyes. It opened it's llama mouth and our llama smiled. 'Finally another lla-' "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?!" screamed the other llama.

The little llama jumped in alarm hastily thinking of something to say "I come from above from the land of alpaca!" He yelled so the other llama would stop advancing on him. "I came here to find other llamas cant you help me?" THe little llama was very frightened.

The other llama stopped his advancement abruptly, his ears perking up. He lowered his head to Joe's level and said, "I AM another llama, you dunce." Joe laughed nervously and lowered his head shamefully. The other llama looked unfazed. "But, I can help you find other llamas, I guess. My cardio class doesn't start for twenty minutes..."
Joe looked back up at the other llama with confusion. 'Cardio class? What kind of world am I in now?' he thought as he walked the retreating back of Job. "Hey wait up!" he screamed after the other, rushing to catch up.
Job just continued walking, ignoring the protests of Joe. 'HE needs to go to a freaking cardio class not me..,' he thought angrily. 'He's so out of shape!' Job kept on walking on the hard wooded floors and into a large room with just a single TV lighting the area. He stopped his trek and turned to look at the other. "There's the exit. Now leave, there are other llamas outside."
Joe narrowed his eyes in confusion and looked at the hardwood wall. "Um, that's a wall." Job sighed in frustration and just turned, walking back to the room they had just left.
"Just leave. The llama that sells ice cream cones is named Perri. He'll help you or something, I don't care." And he disappeared.
(I didn't mean for it to be that long. Just get me started on an idea and I NEVER STOP! And I like Job. A lot.)

Joe was confused and a little hazy. Why did this other strange llama named Job leave him? Were other llamas like him, or strange like Job. Maybe Joe had naturally adapted to the alpaca like life style. He hoped with all of his woolly, almost alpaca like fur, that he could find someone that understood him.
"Now," thought Joe, "Where is that Perri llama." After a while of searching this house of walls, he found a door, opening it, he was exposed to a mass amount of sunlight and a park. An odd looking park. There were llamas, everywhere, and an ice cream stand in the corner. Hesitant to approach, Job found Perri and explained his situation. Perri rose a furry eyebrow. "So will that be cherry flavor?" he asked. Sighing, Joe figured he to would be of no help.
Suddenly, Joe saw two llamas sitting on a park bench. They had the exact same fur shading as he did, and that unusual flower shaped tail. Before Joe could reach them the two llamas ran to him. Joe was overwhelmed as they explained that their names were Proverbs and Psalms. He was intrigued to find out that a long time ago, after Proverbs had had an affair with Perri, that she had met Psalms, but at that time Llama world was only still growing, and they couldn't keep their son so they had in trusted the alpacas to take care of them. "Could you be, our son?"

Joe stared at the two llamas before him. He didnβt know if he believed their story. βTheir fur does match my colorβ¦β he thought as he looked over them. Their golden-ish fur gleamed in the sickeningly beautiful sunlight. There was never this much sun in alpaca land.
If this llamas were his parents, he wanted to say so much to them. There were so many questions to ask! βHow old are you,β βHow did you meet,β βHow is it living in llama world?β but he didnβt ask any of these. However, the question he asked instead was not what the two llamas were expecting. It wasnβt even what Joe was expecting, his mind speaking of itβs own accord.
βYou had an affair with PERRI?β Joe asked incredulously. The two llamas stared back at him with blanks looked. Joe didnβt notice, continuing his rant. βI mean, come on! How did you even talk to him enough to have an affair with him? Did he ask if you wanted a vanilla flavored cone and you interpreted it to be βI love you, letβs get marriedβ?β
Proverbs stared at Joe with a smile. βI like vanilla.β Psalms nodded a little. Proverbs smile faltered a little. βBut we didnβt get married.β
Joe sighed and sat down on the bench his parents had just been sitting at. βWell, now that Iβm here, is there anything I have to do. Or am I just here and now we just party for a while then I move in with you or something?β
Psalms frowned. βYouβre not moving in with us. Youβre going to live with Job.β A pause. βHeβs your brother, you know.β

Joe was stunned. He wanted to ask "Why cant I move in with you? That llama is nuts, he yells at me, and I cant stand him!" But the shock was to much. His eyes widened, half in curiosity, half in horror. How could this be happening? He only wanted to find other llamas, not get into this..this...thing. He needed air.
Joe got off the bench and began to wonder, his mind was racing and his head was pounding. How could this happen so fast? He noticed that everywhere he looked, llamas stared at him, he was so nervous. Would it have been better not to have known the truth? Stayed in Alpaca land? No. He needed answers.
Joe stared at his reflection in the pond he wandered by, a mother duck had aligned her ducklings into a row. "If only it were that simple." He thought sadly. "I should face my problems now, before my life spirals any further downwards." Gathering up all of his courage the little llama went to Jobs house. When he got there he puffed out his chest attempting to make himself bigger. Knocking, he opened the door.
"What?" Job snapped. Joe immediately let out all of his courage in a big sigh of distraught. "I met my..our..parents." Job snorted impatiently. "And what did they tell you? How you ruined my life? I was the one that was to be sent to alpaca land, I was older, they had given me up for you! You sniveling little excuse for a llama, but they rejected me, I looked to different. So they took you, and I had to live with my parents misery over the fact of giving up their last born, their new born son, go back to where you belong alpaca!"
Jobs words stung as he shut the door in his face. He would prove Job wrong, he wasn't an alpaca he would prove all of them wrong! He began to walk away when a young llama walked up to him. "I know who you are, Everyone here knows who you are!"

(wohohoo we're at four pages! Aw I'm totally bringing Job back later)
Joe turned his neck to stare at the little llama. His fur was a shocking white; the sun reflecting off it made him squint his eyes. βWhat is up with your fur color?β Joe blurted out. The little llama stared back at him incredulously.
βIβm an albino llama. Did you not have albino alpacas up there?β Joe just shook his head and turned his body completely to face the llama. βOh, well there are different types of llamasβ¦ thereβs the normal llamas, the albino ones, the-β
βThatβs strange,β Joe cut in. βHmmβ¦ well what were you saying? How does everyone know me, I just got here.β He stared down at the llama. βWho are you anyways?β
The little llama smiled and inclined her head a little. βI am Micah. I am just another llama living in this world. But you-β she grinned wider, if that were possible, βyou are not just another llama living in this world. YOU are a golden llama! You were chosen to visit the alpaca world by the one and only rainbow llama, Toadi!β Great exclamations and happy gestures were made by llamas close to them; the squeals and screams grating at Joeβs eardrums. Joe, however, just grimaced.
βI donβt get it, Iβm just a different color. A rainbow llama? What doe-β
Suddenly, a very exuberant golden llama jumped into Joeβs face, squealing with happiness. βOHHH, itβs you! Ohmygosh, I canβt believe I get to meet the one and only Joe!β A random bystander yelled, βHEY MY NAME IS JOE!β at that. The llama just ignored it. βOkay, I'M Michael, I will be your tour-guide here since Micah is too young to know all the cool secret places here.β Micah frowned. Joe just looked scared.

Haha, is the character Michael from that tv show you watch?
Michael was about to take Joe on the tour when another llama who had been listening to their conversation took over. "Sorry Michael, I need to take over." Joe was confused about this new llama until the other llama started to talk. "I've been informed, Joe, that you are our one and only, Joe the chosen one...I am Pana, I will be your tour guide and assistant, if ever you need anything, you may call me." Joe was a little creeped out by this, but grateful that he had someone who he assumed he could rely on.
"Lets start the tour." Pana pointed out all of the major and a few of the minor points of the llama world and stopped at a tall building. "This," said Pana, "it the llama showcase. It shows all of the famous llamas dedicated to serving other llamas in need." they wandered the halls and Joe looked in awe at all of these llamas. There was one llama in particular that sparked his interest. Pana noticed. "That is the great rainbow llama, Toadi, I've assumed you've heard the story. Joe nodded. "Who's that in the back?" Joe asked.
Pana laughed. "You."
Pana continued walking. "You have so much to learn Joe, even about your own life it seems." Joe was so confused. "I do, can't you help me?" Pana stopped to look at him. "Joe, you may call on me for help, but I cannot tell you who you are."
Suddenly Pana snorted, extremely irritated."Oh..not again! What do YOU want?" Said Pana rolling his eyes at a bouncy little llama almost floating with joy down the halls. "Hello! I'm Ona!" One had odd markings etched into his fur. "Oh no, I'm not dealing with THIS again. See ya kid, I said I'd help you with big problems, he can be your new guide!" And with that, Pana galloped away.
Joe had a feeling that Ona would be around a lot, and annoy him..alot. What a ride this would turn out to be.

Haha..he tends to get..attached
When Joe took leave of the building Ona floated above him eyes wandering here and there and little yellow legs skipping in the air. So Ona was an outcast, kind of like how Joe was accepted almost..to well. While llamas screamed and fainted at him, they ran and laughed at Ona. Maybe they could work together and find a way to make things right here..though nothing seemed wrong, he had returned. Was there a real purpose in being here? Out in alpaca world the alpacas didn't take much notice to him, just smiled and waved and chewed nonchalantly on their grass. Here, we was noticed to much. He wondered if he had a purpose.
"So! Where are we goin? When did ya get here anyway?" Ona happily ranted out. "I dont know...and, I'm not sure. I dont know what I'm doing yet." Said Joe not really paying attention and absently picking at a flower stem. He needed to get right down to business and at last find out who he was and what he was meant to do!
Ever since he got here he was praised for being Joe, the great llama sent up to live with the alpacas but he needed to know where to go from here. As he saw Ona merrily floating above, he knew what he had to do. He was to make a journey, find Toadi, and ask, why him? Why not Job, why couldn't have just helped his family instead? He would find out soon enough.

"What? Whadda you mean feed me? How were you ever even involved in my life! I've met my parents, and you...you cant be!" Joe's head was spinning. Unless he was just to much involved in my life..my mom said she'd had an affair with this creep..how..
"No one told you yet..have they? Joe..I am Job's father. When I had the affair with your mother, she had Job, and then met her husband and left me." Perri let out a bitter jealous sigh. "Joe is your half brother."
"Ohhh..." Ona said eyes getting wide and head turning. Joe turned around in horror. He was so confused, his life was so messed up, where could he go!? "NO!" Joe cried as he spun around. He was frantic trying to find the hole that had led him down to this cursed place. He couldn't stand it anymore!
Joe's parents, who were strolling in the park, saw him running by. "Joe! Wait!" They cried, but Joe was not to be stilled. He ran across a wooded area until it was only woods where no one could find him and he looked up. There was a hole in the sky..he tried climbing up a tree but his hooves wouldn't let him. "Help! Help!" He cried. Finally, he realized no one could hear him...until he heard a voice.
"I can help you." said a voice. Joe turned to see Ona. He couldn't help him! But he had to listen. "What your friend said is true..I was outcasted by the alpaca messengers..But I know a way..and I can help you." Suddenly, Joe decided to throw hope to the wind..and try.

"Okay, what do I do?" Joe asked the floating creature above him.
Ona looked down at him, a rare serious expression donning his face. "There's one way..," he muttered to himself. His eyebrows came together. "Only one way..." Joe opened his mouth to say something to break his reverie, but Ona suddenly jerked his head up, wobbling unsteadily in the air.
"Only one way, Joe! The only way is to go to Toadi himself! I can take you there myself but..." he trailed off. "But, I can't go see Toadi with you. I was outcast, he can't see me again."
Joe's jaw was hanging open. "Toadi? I have to see TOADI?" He was so confused. One couldn't just go see the equivalent of the llama God, could they? He was in some... different dimension, right? 'Like I was in a different dimension?' he thought to himself. 'No, I was in a diff-'
"Yes, see Toadi," Ona said, interrupting his thoughts. Joe jumped, startled, and blinked up at the other. "Just jump into the air and I'll show you how to get there."
Joe snorted. "I can't fly, Ona..."
Ona narrowed his eyes and Joe, confused. "Of course you can, you are a golden llama... how did you think you survived that fall off the edge of the world without being able to FLY?" Joe just blinked at him. "C'mon, we have to hurry so we'll get there by daytime," Ona said, turning his back to Joe.
"Hey!" Joe yelled after him. "Why can't I just fl-fly up the stupid hole then?" He wasn't used to the idea of him being able to fly just yet...
Ona looked over his shoulder and then up into the sky. "What hole, Joe?" Joe turned around to point out Ona's stupidity but, alas, there was nothing there...
-
Heh, I got to use the word alas. This new serious Ona is confusing.

IWriteOperas In reply to katiespeer [2010-06-17 04:27:52 +0000 UTC]
How could Joe have flown without even knowing it? He tried in vain to peer up and over the masses of tree's but couldn't seem to see anything but branches and fog. If only he could just tuck his legs beneath him, rest, and forget about all of this. If only he could fly! "If only I could..I can..cant I? I'm a golden llama, everyone has expected this of me! Maybe, I can!" Standing up he realized this was a vain and felt childish and sat down. "Come on Joe!" Ona coaxed.
When he felt that all was lost he felt a growing pain in his shoulder blades. He struggled to stand full height and felt something tickle at his neck. It was a feather..coming out of a full wing span! This was one of the oddest things that had ever happened to him for sure, but his life was so messed up, he threw caution to the wind and ran..he galloped trying to find Ona, then leapt into the air. There was a quick moment of silence before he felt the wind against his face, flying he felt the soft fur on his face..flying!
Through a fog, Joe saw Pana. Pana who had been his guide for a short while, Pana who said he's help him through any serious issues..having wings would certainly be one. "Joe," Pana said, "I trust you..do what you were meant to..we have faith in you." And with that, he didn't see Pana anymore..just Ona soaring above him with soft feathers floating behind.
As soon as he felt the wind through his face and the short joy he experience..it was gone. He had gone unconscious, only to wake up in a grassy field..filled with alpacas. And Ona..was no where to be seen.
.....
Yeah I thoguht I'd give it a plot twist with Ona being so serious, but he'll regain his annoying self soon! Bwahahah

Joe opened his eyes hesitantly. He knew he was before he could see it; the alpaca world. What other world would smell like a mixture of tacos and cherries? Well and other nasty things, but he didn't want to think of that...
So... no Ona. Had he been asleep the whole time? Had that all just been a dream? He looked down at his fur and saw it was distinctly golden, not like the white and muddy browns of the other animals around him. Like the other animals staring down at him...
"Oh hey Greg, it's that guy again," one with a crooked ear said. He shoved his face roughly into Joe's side. "Your fur has always been so soft. Can I shave it again and make a coat from it?" Joe stared back at him.
"Wherya been, Joe, huh?" A girl piped up. Cindy. Gah.
Joe didn't respond. So he HAD been gone the whole time... 'Well...' he thought, looking around at all the animals, 'It looks like I got my wish. I am back with these idiots. A nobody again.'
"WHERYA BEEN JOE, HUH?!"
"AH- WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" Joe jumped onto his feet and glared at the girl alpaca in front of him. "WHAT DO YOU ALL WANT, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HALF OF YOU!"" The others stared back at him with confused and shocked looks.
"Ya got those purty thingies on your back," Cindy explained, nodding towards them with her head. "Wherdya get em?" Joe twisted his head around and his jaw dropped. Spurting out of his back were two silver wings. 'I thought those disappeared! Why are they still here??'

Yes, he will be.

IWriteOperas In reply to katiespeer [2010-06-17 16:55:05 +0000 UTC]
Joe winced at the prospect of how long his wings could remain on his back. "Look," he told the other llamas. "I need to find Toadi, and I need to find Ona, he will help me." Joe stated getting back on his hooves. The alpacas gasped.
"What do you need to talk to Toadi about?" Joe's quick glance at his wings and a glare silenced them. "More over," came a voice, "What do you want with Ona?" A large muscular alpaca approached Joe giving him a quick sniff. "he's my guide, someone must take me to Toadi though! I need to find him fast!
The female alpaca looked down at him. "You're in luck kiddo, big guy over here can take you where you need to go, he knows everything! Ever since that stupid Ona was banned!" The alpacas gave a laugh. The bigger llama gave a little huff and nipped at Joes wings. "Come on." And so Joe began yet another journey with another guide, until they were away from the other llamas.
When Joe looked back to find the alpaca leading him, he didn't see him. "Up here," When Joe looked up he saw Ona. "I couldn't just leave ya!" Joe was happy that his friend had stuck by him. "I change shapes here and there, it's a little trick I..borrowed..from the other messenger alpacas." And with that, Ona was back to his silly self, eyes wide, hooves in the air, and fur floofed out.

Miss Anna, your gallery was quite refreshing and very polished works you have created! It is has a certain charm and innocence to it.
I have observed that you lack an icon, if you wish I could make you an icon.
I can make four different kinds of icons:
Animated, like mine is, up to four images that flash, scanning, which makes the image scan through, like banner, a magnifying icon, it magnifies in or out zooming of a singular image, or a glittering icon, though I doubt the last would interest you.
Just link the picture(s) or image(s) you wish to have your icon, though only four, the icon program only allows four.
You will have it withing the next day whenever you respond, if you have other friends in need of an icon please tell them they may ask for me, I would gladly do it.
