Alethin mushroom

Post by MoonCharm »

I'm sorry about any mistakes. English is not my native language.

Alethin was a mushroom and grew on the outskirts of an ancient, wise mushroom in the Jungle of Raza. All the mushrooms were one. One body. One mind. One life.

In the evenings, mushrooms, as well as a decent mushroom, thought about world domination. Alethin also tried very hard. And that fatal evening he looked at the stars and dreamed how once the arguments will fly to the farthest corners of the universe. And the universe will become a beautiful big mushroom.

Suddenly, there was a whistle in the sky and something metallic fell right on Alethin's head. As it turned out, the witch cauldron. And then the owner and her friends landed. The witches made a terrible fuss. They set fires on fire and set up boilers all over the neighborhood. They began to dance and cast spells. They called a couple of demons and flew away, clinginging to their tails.

Only then, in the silence of the night, did Alethin realize that he was no longer connected to the fungus.

This terrible news was amazing. For the first time in his life, Alethin was alone. A small mushroom in the soulless universe. After examining himself, Alethin discovered that the whole thing was covered in some kind of potion. Witches spilled something on him and so he fell away from the fungus.

On the shaking false legs Alethin got out of the forest and came to the only remaining friend, a mushroom-loving spy Bertha from the neighboring village. Bertha was already waiting on her doorstep. The mushroom girl called her and asked for help. Here, in the village, Alethin lived a long time, mastering a new role for himself - a mushroom in human form. Bertha taught him to walk smoothly, fold false legs so that they resemble arms and legs. She gave him a wig and a black cape with a hood.

So Alethin became a seeker of luck. He decided to pretend to be a merchant and walk the world looking for an antidote. All he knew was that one of his illegal love potions would return him to the mushroom. What kind of potion is unknown. But Alethin was determined to overcome all the obstacles.

That's what he didn't foresee, that he would get his own apprentice to tell him. The vile boy wanted to get the darkest potions and destroy the world. Alethin refused him. And then one evening Alethin sat by the window and thought about the world domination of mushrooms. As well as it is necessary to a decent mushroom. The door opened and the guards entered the room. Without ceremony, they grabbed Alethin and locked him up in prison.

All night long the walls of the prison were shaken by the loud, sarcastic laughter of Alethin . "Is it laughter or crying? - Surprisingly, the jailers asked each other. And they were brazenly trampling at the door of the cell. And at dawn, laughter suddenly broke out in a poem. And then they decided to look inside. There was a black coat and a wig on the floor. There was no Alethin in the cell. "The guards decided to report to their superiors.

And Alethin , having got rid of the human face, got out the window between the bars of the grid. And now he was hanging on the prison wall, clinginging to the unevenness of the stone with false legs. So the morning passed. So the day passed. The evening came, and with it the hour of reflection on the world domination of the mushroom. Alethin raised his eyes to heaven, thought of the stars and... His tired legs were unbroken, and he fell from a great height.

Some nights he sneaked through the darkest corners of the city and reached Bertha's old girlfriend. She was hiding now. She disguised herself as a Nandi Bear or a Cukurba. He hasn't decided which look he likes best yet. One thing he knows for sure is that one day he will return to the fungus.
