Five Origins An origin story for the first five Soquili to have wandered onto Thrivis’ beach Svartaf • Thurga • Sunhilda • Sverre • Dellinger
Svartaf lived in a valley when he was small. His people were driven out by a flood from a dam burned down by an irresponsible campfire. Separated from his family and friends in the chaos, he wandered hungry and alone until he met Thurga. That is, Thurga busted him getting into his stash of berries.
Thurga had also been driven from his home with the flooding. The entire forest he called home was now under water, and now he camped in different places searching for a new place to settle. Being a cheerful good-natured putti with a strong sense of duty, he couldn't leave the poor little fluff to fend for himself. He informally adopted Svartaf. Hungry and alone he was no more. Thurga taught him to survive off the land and to respect the other animals of the forest. Svartaf became a loyal and helpful (and occasionally annoying) companion.
Thurga led the way along one of the new rivers created by the flooding, hoping they'd eventually find a good watering hole. They did find a place where the water eventually pooled into a tiny pond before continuing in a river. As they stopped for a drink, they heard two tiny little whimpers. It was two unicorn mer soquili siblings, Sunhilda and Sverre. Their shells had been carried far and away from their home on the flood waters. They were lost before they even hatched. Thurga could see from their horns and tiny wings that they were something special and rare. He took it upon himself to make sure the guppies got out to the ocean where they would be able to find more mers, maybe even meet friends or relatives if they were also washed away and made it to the sea.
Under Thurga's patient cheerful guidance and with Svartaf's nimble help, the mers were able to navigate the narrow river when it split off into steams. Svartaf would jump into the water to help the mers get unstuck on rocks or carry them a short ways over stream beds. Thurga was always able to use his little puffs of wind to distract and annoy predators long enough for all three of the little ones to make it to safety as they searched for a new home.
The day finally came when the forest floor turned sandy, and they saw the ocean. The mers swam down the stream as it emptied into the ocean. After being confined to narrow streams and small ponds, the ocean was like an exciting new planet. Svartaf was also enchanted, having lived all his life in valleys and dense forest. The long stretch of horizon was like seeing a rainbow for the first time, and the sight made him feel like anything was possible. He loved the soft feel of the beach, and was happy there really was a place where he and his mer friends could play together.
Dellinger found them splashing about, ready to tell them about his own weather-based plight. A storm had driven his own kin away from their tropical home. He wandered close to the beach, wounded and looking for shelter. That's when he met the Kawani gal Thrivis, who was building a teepee between land and sea close to a shelf with a reef at the bottom - protected and safe. In the shallow water, she took care of him and made sure he was never hungry.
He told them how he and the girl worked together to make the the little beach island and reef a home on the land and in the water. He knew he found a new home with this girl, a place to grow and learn and share. He had that feeling again as Thurga explained their own situations to him. A whole new family had found him. It seemed like destiny, and you just can't ignore that.
Svartaf developed into a rambunctious and proud stallion. The mer siblings became fine serene creatures like the calm waters they lived in. Thurga and Del provided valuable wisdom and guidance, officially the foster parents of their little tribe.
Now they all live around Thrivis' teepee between land and sea, where they all have a fun time splashing around and building sand teepees under a smiling tropical sun - ready for new friends, new adventures, and maybe even more new family.
TL;DR Version - Disasters drove them away from their homes, they found each other, helped each other, now they all live on the beach with Thriv.
