The Adventures of Chuppa (Part 3)

"Wow! Chuppy! Have a look at that beauty!" Kermit burped as he gazed at the humongous tree before him.

"You do realise Kermit, that my name is Chuppa not Chuppy!" replied Chuppa in a slightly annoyed yet rat-like fashion.

"I know Chuppy" grinned the monkey still in a dream-like stare at the tree. Chuppa knew the name would stick and decided to hit Kermit with a small rock.

"Oi you little devils" came a mouse-like grumpy Scottish cry. Chuppa and Kermit looked at each other confused. Where had the voice come from? As they continued to stare at each other Kermit winked to break the eerie tension. Chuppa hurled at him a passing rat.

It was strange, the voice seemed to come from behind the vast tree. As the two peeked around, they saw a wrinkly and thin trunked tree. At the base of it was an aged metal sign. It was so rusted that anything that touched it would burn and melt into fine golden ash. It read "The Great Oak".

"Well? What did you expect? Do you think knowledge grows on trees..hmmm...well...?" questioned the talking tree. "In your case it does you old bag" said Kermit. "You cheeky monkey you, if i had legs I would..." "...would walk?" interrupted Kermit. "Ha ha ha ha ha" chuckled the tree. "I like you, you monkey. What are ye called?"

"I'm Chuppa and this is Kermit. We've travelled a long way to see you Mr Great Oak... Sir." As Chuppy finished his sentence, the creases in the oak itself began to rapidly fall, much like when a mirror turns to liquid.

"You are...are...the...THE Chuppa?" stuttered the Great Oak. Chuppa's eyes rapidly moved between Kermit and the Oak. So rapidly infact that Kermit fainted from sheer fright.

"You are famous in these lands Chuppa. In my 7000 years of existence I have never been so honoured to meet someone. What would you like from me oh great one?" exclaimed the Great Oak.

Chuppa looked shocked. "Is this some kind of sick joke?" He ran around the near by area looking for cameras but to no avail. "Am I on T.V?"

"Oh you will be, when the news spreads." The tree continued to explain that a scout had been sent to find Chuppa a few days ago. He was a dwarf, but it had been assumed that he was killed by the dark forces as no reply was received.

"Ooohh!" Kermit began to groan as he regained consciousness and rolled around on the floor like a diseased slug. Suddenly, the Great Oak fell into silence as a yellow glow illuminated one of Chuppa's pockets. It seemed to want to move towards Kermit. Chuppa looked down at the glow, and back up at the Great Oak. "Beware of the Ape, Chuppa, he..." Before the tree could finish, Kermit jumped up in an energetic, frog like action in front of Chuppa. "How Long was I out?" he asked Chuppa with a half awake look.

Chuppa looked at Kermit in a new light now. Or should I say, lack of light, more like darkness. As Chuppa gazed into Kermit's eyes he could see the very evil oozing from his eye balls, fire oozing from his ears and blood oozing from his eyebrows as a result of him falling on a metal hedgehog.

Now ever so slightly afraid of Kermit, Chuppa replied "Only a couple of moments Kermit". Kermit retorted, "You do scare me sometimes Chuppa". "Yer, and you scare me too", said Chuppa frightfully whilst still replaying in his head what the Great Oak was trying to tell him.

In some weird way, Chuppa began to realise the true gravity of what the Great Oak had told him. The Dwarf that the Oak spoke of who never returned was in fact the one whom they thought was a little boy.

Upon realising this, Chuppa thought deeply about the true purpose of their voyage. Now they were no longer looking for the apparent child's parents, they were searching for something greater. Something magnificent. They were searching for the key of the universe, only, they didn't know it yet.

"What happened to Oaky?", questioned Kermit inquisitively. "It just vanished when you woke up", replied Chuppa after a short pause as he came out of his deep thoughts. "So what did that old bag actually tell you then?", Kermit queried with an evil grin on his face and with eyes fixated on Chuppa's every movement. Chuppa saw Kermit's desperation and replied, "Nothing! Nothing! it told me nothing! It was about to say something and then you woke up and everything just changed....this place freaks me out". Chuppa cleverly changed the statement and Kermit nodded in agreement. "Yer, I think we should go from here, this place doesn't look safe". "I agree, let's continue our journey. But where do we go now then?", said Chuppa. "We must continue through the Forest of Freedom where there is a small village. There we shall find the boy's parents". "Oki Doki! Lead on Kermit...lead on."

Chuppa and Kermit both headed off deeper into the forest, with Kermit leading and soon they were totally submerged and surrounded by the vastness of the Forest of Freedom. It was getting dark now too and the forest was becoming more alive with sounds never heard to man...(to be continued)...

The Adventures of Chuppa (Part 2)

Chuppa trekked back into the woods in search of the deceased child's parents. He roamed the woods for days, searching every nook and cranny, but to no avail. He could find no such place in existence on the forest floor. Finally, he decided to stop wasting time, as it became clear to him that he had no idea where he was going, and ask for directions to the "house located behind the Great Oak."

So, Chuppa pranced on over to a friendly looking squirrel and asked her if she knew how to get to the house behind the "Great Oak."

"Will you please be quiet!" bellowed the friendly yet old squirrel. Instantly the noise from behind her faded.

The squirrel then explained that the only way to reach the house is by crossing the infamous black zone and taking the red brick road to the blue tower. From there he will need to find the signposts leading to the great oak.

Just before he left the old wise squirrel gave him a yellow stone. "Wear this when you need guidence".

With this knowledge, Chuppa set off, packed with him food, the stone, a knife and enough water for several days.

At the edge of forest, a shifty monkey jumps on Chuppa. "I heard you are going to the Great Oak, and i know a shortcut, but i'll only tell you if you let me come with you." said the monkey. Chuppa thought about it for a while...then agreed.

"The names Kermit by the way"

Kermit and Chuppa continued through the vast expanse. Kermit brought Chuppa to the foot of the Mountain of Miracles, a mountain so vast and mysterious that even the local tribesmen fear to talk of it. The mountain stood a million foot high and a thousand foot wide!

Chuppa gasped upon sight of the enormity of the Mountain of Miracles and angrily shouted at Kermit "How exactly is this a shortcut? You Ape!". Kermit retorted "I find that quite offensive, I'm no ape, I'm a monkey!".

Chuppa calmed down and asked again, "How do we cross?". Kermit replied, "The Mountain of Miracles shall take you across, but only if you believe". "Believe in what?", Chuppa queried. "Believe that you can fly", responded Kermit in a voice which was both calming and highly annoying at the same time.

Chuppa closed his eyes and willed himself to believe that he could fly. To aid him he used his MP3 Player and put on a bit of R Kelly. Before he knew it, Chuppa slowly opened his eyes only to find himself levitating 3 inches off the ground. It was a miracle! It was a mountain of a miracle!

Kermit was well rehearsed in The Skyway Code for Levitators and Alladins and gave Chuppa a grounding in the rules of flying before they set off over the mountain.

Eventually they were high in the sky and from the air there could be seen many magical creatures down below, who have wondered the Mountain of Miracles for centuries, in the pursuit of the Great Oak of Knowledge. It is said, that only one in every four creatures ever find the Great Oak of Knowledge. The other 3 usually freeze to life.

After 14 days and nights of flying non-stop, Chuppa and Kermit eventually crossed the black zone, red brick road and the blue tower before arriving at the Great Oak of Knowledge. The Oak was inlaid with diamonds and on it grew apples of gold, silver and potassium sulphate...(to be continued)...

The Adventures of Chuppa (Part 1)

Once on a quiet summer evening as the soft, warm breeze blew by, a small boy caught the scent of a familiar smell, it was a rabbit jumping merrily in the bushes in pursuit of another furry little rodent, also known as a rat. The boy eagerly ran towards it. The rabbit vanished into the upcoming forest and the boy chased after it. Then with an unfortunate turn of events, the little boy fell off a cliff..but WAIT...it was truly a miracle!...the little boy didn't die...he was hanging on for dear life. Ok, no..he dies.

The sun set on the decaying child's body, and as the sun rose the following day, there was a rodent shaped shadow on the boy's torso. It was the rabbit again. The rabbit shed a small tear of oily water onto the now nearly dissolved body. The rabbits name was Chuppa. He turned his back and ran off into the forest again.

Chuppa could not sleep that night. He was overcome by guilt as he felt that he was partially responsible for the death of the child. He made a vow to himself that fateful night. He promised himself that......he would never wear a carrier bag on his face ever again. In Chuppa's desperation he decided to set off on a quest to find the boy's parents and tell them about the boy. The journey ahead was long and full of adventure, but now Chuppa knew his meaning in life and was ready to set out to achieve it.

With Chuppa's long nails he stabbed into the decaying body and began to drag it across the lake so to drop it into the river. Chuppa wailed "Rest in peace my brother" as the body fell in slow motion into the lake and was consumed by the waters. Chuppa then noticed something strange in the air. It was electric and sobre at the same time. Indeed Chuppa could feel the spirit of the boy talking to him and he could hear the boy say,'my home is in the woods behind the great oak tree'. Chuppa wasn't sure what to do or what to say but he knew that one day everything will make sense on this weird world called Venus...(to be continued)...
