Koiote @Koiote
Welcome to the Coyote Pond. I'm Coy and everything is a story. Written, drawn, or put in a game: why actively limit what counts? I even wrote a little something about my mascot, the koiote. Take a read:
--------
One day so long ago, the ground caved in. Nobody knew how but nobody cared. They just minded their own businesses. Storms came, the rain fell, and soon the hole filled with water. Nobody cared except those that thought it was in the way.
Then a miracle happened. Koi fish appeared from the waters. They swam circle after circle, but nobody cared. Neither for them nor how they came to be. None except for a lone coyote that came to the pond for a drink.
The koi were scared of the coyote, but the coyote paid them no mind, only quenching its thirst. Day after day, week after week. Long enough the koi and the coyote didn't notice their murky hole of water turned into a beautiful pond.
But others noticed. Though the other animals would deny it, they grew jealous of the coyote. The kind of jealousy where they sought to ruin the coyote's life instead of improve theirs. So the other animals gathered as much dirt and mold, and they aimed to bury the pond.
But that night the coyote stood guard. He fought until exhausted, and fought more. Neither beaver nor deer nor snake nor wolf could get past the coyote. They would bite and scratch and tear off his tail, but he wouldn't fall until they had long given up.
But they had bitten and scratched and torn off his tail. And when they finally left, the coyote fell into the pond. The koi lifted themselves out of the water so they could truly weep for their protector, wishing they knew him as a friend.
Then another miracle happened. Whatever made the koi appear and the hole become a pond healed the coyote, growing a fish tail where the coyote had lost his. It filled the holes in his body, and he took a breath, and told the koi hello.
