Gale

Beyond any conceivable path or trail, a solemn tea tree frog inhaled. Along came Gale…

Elumo of the Mist materialized before their eyes, clothed in gold, blue and white, dawning the dress of a beautiful bride. Elumo of the Smoke, took form above the well, sporting a matte black tuxedo, hosting a luxurious smell.

A shrewdness of apes, who appeared quite bored, with hors d'oeuvres in hand, began handing out forks. A troop of gorillas, who were clearly entertained, with props in hand, began setting a stage. A clowder of cats, too cool to help, made their way to the shack, and brushed themselves against the well. A pack of dogs, dirty as can be, rolled around in the sod, before licking Odie.

A knot of toads, who were particularly rude, disrespected the wait staff, but tipped them more than they were expected to. An army of frogs, remained distant, from the rude knot of toads, for they didn't get along, they were mutually loathed. A raft of king penguins, came to land from the stream, when a waddle of emperor penguins, watched on from the S.S. Dream.

Sally and Pepe, stepped down from the steamboat, hounded by paparazzi, while they waved at the people. Pookas appeared and sat on both sides of the aisle, with darkness in their hearts, bearing devious smiles. Critters made of flowers began flooding the aisles with fragrant aromas, while fruits and vegetables took their seats, adorning decadent togas.

Mushrooms arrived, including chaga, and reishi, the magic ones too, as well as cordyceps, amanita and porcini. Odie looked in amazement, upon the developing setting, "What's happening Ohm?" to which he replied, "It's a wedding!"

Life of every creed and kind, descended upon the shack, many merry, drinking wine, playing games, and sharing laughs. Others arrived, who appeared to be full of anger, "Stay close…" spoke O, the prophetic piece of paper.

A gentle zephyr graced the refurbished potato shack, and like magic, Gale appeared, with an amethyst necklace, and white hat. "Please take your seats, it's time to begin," spoke Gale, the Deacon of the Wind.

All life at the wedding, began to take humanoid form, but no one seemed to notice, except Odie, who was floored. Elumo and Eluma spoke their vows, and proceeded to kiss, becoming one under God, the unity of smoke and mist.

Together they departed, dissipating into what's next, when a front row pooka charged the stage, and reached for Gale's neck. He snatched Gale's necklace, and was off with the wind. Odie watched in great horror, as a tornado was summoned before him.

As Odie was flung from the scene, a hand grabbed hold of him, on the S.S. Dream… "He isn't ready, Pepe, but then again, no one ever is…" Gale's voiced echoed, before jumping off the ship.
