Fear the Penguak for one day she will grow up big and strong.
1. How i became a penguak
What is a penguak you might ask? To be perfectly honest i didn't know once either, but now as i sit here in a room made of ice i know all too well. Once I was just a normal highschool student about to start the year off as a sophomore in highschool. Yet another year of tests, homework, and teachers that spit when they talk. well i was staring up at the daunting hill i had to climb to get to school when a large animal flew into my behind and i felt something sharp peirce my skin.
With a yelp i spun on the creature only to find a small Bird rubbing its beak in a way characteristic of a child that had been bopped on the nose. The bird looked strangely enough like a human penguin if that makes any sense. It had the face of a penguin with uncannily human eyes. I had thought at first that it had, had shiny jet black skin but upon closer examination i found that in fact it was not skin but tightly packed feathers.
Its body was not unlike a humans with the expception of a stubby tail and it wore a heavy black parka, and clunky black boots that looked a few sizes to large, Clothes unfit for the weather. I couldn't help but stare in awe at this creature. It was truly unlike anything i'd ever seen.
About this time the realization hit. This thing had beaked me in the a**! I reached tentively back and touched the afflicted area. It stung and i quickly pulled my hand away only to find blood coating my fingers.
"Great" I heard myself saying even before i could stop myself "now i'm late for school AND my a** is bleeding." Allthough i regret those words now i can't help but wish i could have seen the look on the face of the portly old gentlemen that had just happened to walk by at that very moment.
"Parden me?" Squeaked a nasily voice from somewhere close to my shins. I took a step back and stared down at the penguin man. It got to its unusually large feet adjusted its specticles and stared right on back at me. Had my ears deceived me or had this bird creature just talked.
"Wh... what are you" I muttered taking another step back. The creature raised a feathered hand to its neck and cleared it's throat.
"I" it began in a voice that suggested too much pride, "Am a Penguak"
"A... what?" The Penguak was less than thrilled at my lack of amazement and proceeded to raise itself to its full height which couldn't have been more than two 1/2 feet and puffed out its chest.
"I am a Penguak and soon you will be too!"
"mmhm sur- wait what?" The Penguak took on an expression i was sure was a smirk. Than suddenly It bowed low to the ground its bristle-tail standing straight up in the air.
"My name is Flibb" It announced in an obviously male voice, "I will be your Penguak guide. Within the next few minutes you will become a penguak like me."
"If you don't mind my asking... what exactly is a... Pen... guak. And why did you choose me to become one?" This caused Flibb to smile awkwardly.
"Why I'm a Penguak of course! And as for choosing you... well uh... that was sort of... and accident"
"ewha..?"
"well uh... you see... what happened is I was sent out to find a certain human to help aid my kinda in our life long battl to... well i'll tell you more later... Lets just say i slipped up. Literally, i slipped on this bottle here" He produced a bottle out of his parka. "And i went flying and uh... you know the rest..."
I was about to reply when i began to feel kind of dizzy. The world was spinning around me and fast growing dim. A prickling tingle spread through my body and i felt a feeling that i can explain only as the opposite of having both my arms pulled and stretched out on either side of me. The last thing i heard before the blackness consumed me was the a faint whistle in my ears like the of a tea kettle.
