Instructions

The young Irizah stepped outside for the first time, with a wide smile on his face. Today was the day - his mother would finally let him explore the outside world for the first time in his life. There was so much to see - the swaying of the grass, the rustling of the trees, the chattering of the birds. The Irizah, named Nova, didn't understand how anyone could hate this. The outside world was beautiful and gorgeous and magnificent and amazing, and it made him want to stay out here forever and ever. Why would Mother ever try to stop him from coming out here? Nova started to walk through the Redwoods, humming a cheerful tune. His yellow fur rustled with the wind while the stripes on his body glittered under the light of the afternoon sun, shining as if they were gorgeous rubies and dazzling carnelians. The grass crunched under the weight of his paws, and his tail bobbed up and down happily. Suddenly, he heard a swishing sound. Nova's ears twitched and he turned towards the direction of the sound, preparing to either fight or run away. He paused as the sound continued, slowly becoming louder and louder. Then, a small creature pounced out of the bush. Nova let out a terrified shriek before the creature tackled him. The two rolled through the grass. Nova struggled, trying to twist out of the creature's grasp, but they held firm and would not let go. Eventually, Nova surrendered, too tired to fight back anymore. After he was no longer blinded by fear, Nova looked up at the creature standing over him, pinning him to the ground, and realized it was just his best friend, Nebula the Irizah. "Haha! I got you good!" Nebula exclaimed, showing his bright white teeth. His purple tail quivered with excitement and his eyes gleamed with mischief. He stepped to the side to let Nova get up. "Oh, hi Nebula," he said, a bit tired but still very excited. "Hi, Nova! Is your mother letting you going outside now?" "Oh, yeah, she is!" Nova said. "But only sometimes, and I have to stay near our den." "That sucks," Nebula grumbled, frowning. "Well...could you still play tag with me? I brought my sister so we'll have another player." A small female Irizah - even smaller than Nebula - with purple fur and blue stripes appeared behind her brother, smiling happily. Nova nodded. "Alright!" Nebula's sibling, Cosmo, proceeded to run over to Nova and nudge him gently with her tiny paw. "Tag, you're it!" Cosmo and Nebula abruptly sprinted off into the woods, giggling. "Wait! You're going too far!" Nova shouted, but he doubted either of them heard him as they disappeared into the trees. He didn't want to break his mother's rules, but...it was only one time, right? It didn't really matter. So Nova decided...maybe it would be okay to break a few rules. It was kind of a stupid rule anyways... He chased his friends, laughing and taunting them playfully. Eventually he tagged Cosmo, and Cosmo tagged Nebula, and all was happy and safe and peaceful, like it was supposed to be. And the day went on, and the sun started to sink beneath the horizon. The three friends kept on playing, running and ducking and having fun. They laughed and smiled and cheered, as if nothing were wrong, still unaware of what was yet to come. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ CHARACTERS: Nova the Irizah Nebula the Irizah Cosmo the Irizah CREATURE SPECIES: (They belong to Creatures of Sonaria on Roblox) Irizah - A large purple creature with a cat-like face.
