Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

A little, green-feathered chick with big emerald eyes began to hop around, jumping over the body of Green Feather…

"Big brother, big brother!" The little chick spoke with a small and little voice, so adorable and innocent that it melted the heart of her big brother.

"What is it, Little Green?" Asked her brother, looking at her slowly crawl over his body.

"I wan to be beeg like you one day!" She said with a cute and cheerful voice.

Little Green admired her big brother for how strong and chivalrous he was. He was the pride of the entire clan, a man both chivalrous, strong, and intelligent that would one day replace his father as the Gale Bird Emperor.

His little sister always looked up to him.

"Is that so? I am sure that you'll be even bigger, and stronger than all of us…" Green Feather said, as he petted his little sister, slowly bringing her down with his feather into the ground.

"Really?" Asked Little Green, as her brother rubbed his beak gently over her head, which was an act of affection that the Gale Birds did with each other family members. Little Green looked back at her brother adorably, her eyes were filled with life, innocence, and dreams.

"Yes, of course! I'll teach you everything I know, just like father did to me!" Said Green Feather, as he looked over his little sister.

"We are home… Phew, that was quit tiring, that meeting with the Emperors got a bit tricky… But we pulled through, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it was good…"

His father and his mother entered the room, walking inside as his little sister noticed them first.

"Papa, mama!" The adorable chick ran with her little legs towards her parents, having a hard time balancing herself as she was too round.

"Ooh! My little princess!" Laughed her father, quickly embracing the little treasure on his wings.

"How have you been? Has big brother feed you?" Asked her mother, rubbing her beak over her daughter.

"Yeah! I ate meat!" Said the little girl.

"I see… That's good. Green Feather, you're a good brother, aren't you?" Laughed his father.

"He's going to be a good father in the future if he raises his little sister so well." Said his mother.

"Ahaha, come on… Don't joke around with me like that…" Sighed Green Feather.

"Come on, there's a lot of girls already interested in you!" Said his father. "Pick the nicest and give me a grandchild before your father kicks the bucket of old age!" Demanded his father jokingly.

"Don't joke with that!" Laughed Green Feather.

"Green Feather… Don't worry, you can take all the time you want." Said his mother.

"Yeah… Take your time, son." Said his father.

"We'll be there for you…"

"At all times…"

Green Feather looked back at his parents and his sister happily, but as they spoke, their voices slowly began to distort, the imagery on his sight began to change, blood began to be spilled everywhere, and the corpses of his family emerged in place of where his family were standing.

The horror, the fear, the agony quickly took over his heart, the horrendous fear that quickly made Green Feather woke up, realizing it was all a dream, but that reality was even harsher…

He found himself over a small nest made out of hay, the bodies of his parents and his sister were no longer here, but the stench of blood all over his nest remained. His subjects, the rest of the Gale Birds that survived, were slowly trying to bury the corpses, without realizing he had woken up.

His eyes seemed dead, devoid of any light, his entire body emanated an aura of darkness, as if his entire heart was now filled with it. He knew nothing but pain, and the only thing he dreamed about while he slept were nightmares of his family getting massacred, of his parents screaming in agony and his little sister crying in pain as she was mercilessly killed so horrendously…

The traitorous Mountain Monkey King and the Monkey Clan had done this, they were the ones that did this to his clan… It was unforgivable, it meant war. His entire heart, aside from this darkness, was filled with hatred and wrath, he wanted to kill them all, he wanted to massacre all those the monkey emperor loved too, to make him feel what he felt, to see him suffer…

He walked outside and quickly spoke with the rest of the Gale Birds, quickly learning what they went through, they said that the Monkeys suddenly stormed their territory out of nowhere, led by the monkey emperor, they killed almost all the elite soldiers that were there, and then rushed all the way towards the nest of his family, where his father confronted the insane monkey emperor who had gone completely crazy.

His father fought with his life, and constantly implored the monkey emperor to let his wife and daughter live, but he didn't listened, he killed him after receiving a lot of damage, and then, massacred his wife and the little girl trembling for her life in the corner of the cave…

Knowing the truth only made Green Feather be filled with more hatred than ever before, but also, such an indescribable agony deep down, many times he thought about killing himself, his family meant everything to him, they were his treasure, his life, his world… and it was all taken away.

What was he now that he lost his life his world, and his greatest treasure? He felt like nothing. He was… nothing now.

However, there was a lingering feeling that kept him from killing himself, revenge. He wanted to avenge his parents and his beloved little sister, no matter what…

"I will trample over you… I will kill all your clan… unforgivable… You won't get away with this, you coward…" He muttered, as the last Gale Birds heard their new Emperor's words of insanity, but they couldn't help but share his feelings…
