Juno

a little made-up story about juno n star (see the writing in the balloosh temple). since we have no idea what star or fang looks like i'm also going to imagine designs that will differ from the canonical designs (if we do get canonical designs at some point). dont kill me if more information comes out and some part of this is incorrect i'll work that in somehow

p.s. yes i know it is spelled balloosh

the visitor
I was one of those wanderers, in the early Dreamtime. I was from the mountain, but early on took a liking to the swamp and soon knew nothing but the humid air pressing in from all sides, the croaking of the frogs, the willows swaying gently in the breeze. And though I called this place home, I had no purpose.

It was the murkiest time of year, late sumre, when my world collided with theirs; that is, the two packs of animals native to Baloosh. I had been aimlessly traveling along a small stream when two huge shapes-- one a dark blue, the other a greyish tone of pink. Further cautious investigation revealed that the shapes (both flanked by slightly smaller but identically-structured beasts) were a direwolf and a sabertooth.

I remember it clearly, the shock and wariness. I blinked a couple of times-- was I really staring straight at several sentient beings for the first time in so many months? Loneliness had been nice, but now that I had found myself in the company of other intelligent creatures, an odd combination of both relief and delusion-tinged confusion washed over me (it was not very pleasant, to say the least).

The largest two-- the direwolf and the sabertooth heading their groups and having a calm discussion too quiet for me to hear-- did not notice me straightaway. In fact, it was one of the direwolves that happened to glance in my direction that alerted its leader of my presence. The largest direwolf turned his great, shaggy-furred head towards me, and before its eyes had even met my own I was terrified.

When its eyes did meet mine, and I stared straight into those weary amber pits, I felt even more intimidated, which was not helped by the fact that once the sabertooth noticed that the direwolf fell silent it, too, turned to look at me in silence.

"Hello?" I whispered, barely audible.
