Years after years we have seen more and more anthropomorphic species pop up on this world, and with all the species going around there is usually history behind them. 

  A story, passed on from generation from generation that has showed us for who we are today. 

  My species is one of which no one outside of it knows much about. Which is something I have pondered for a while now. No adults have shared the story behind us to the world? "Why not?" I asked myself. Whatever the reason for this is, I went beyond it to share it with you. After a lot of research and information gathering, I, Jerzel,  present to you, the history behind me and my culture.

Prologue

Long ago, millions of creatures were evolving and changing. Amongst all this development of creatures, there were two species that stood out. Two tribes, that were separated from the rest. They lived amongst a cold region on a planet that can no longer be found to this day.

  The first tribe was called the “Oz” [OH-zuh]. They had solid horns on their head, triangle-like ears that poked out from either side of their heads, and a short horn tail. 

Chapter 1: The Creation

This group of creatures were a small tribe that lived in a peaceful community, set up with basic laws that were to be followed. The biggest law was to never touch the sacred stone known as the Ozate [OH-z-EIGHT], 

which was given to the colony and their ruler, King Raybol [RAY-bowl] by Foreas [FUR-ay-uhs], the mythical god of snow and ice.

The second tribe was called the Stribus [ST-rye-BUS]. This colony looked like the Oz, however they were a secret tribe within the Oz that were planning to take control of the Ozate for their own uses.

  The leader of the Stribus was named “Anansi”, [UH-naan-SEE] who was the founder of this tribe. He declared that King Raybol was keeping this stone for his own uses and not allowing others to take control of it because he feared someone else would take his place.

  A few years later, the Stribus had everything planned out to take possession of the Ozate. 

As far as I am aware, there is no information known as to how this plan went down, however historians have discovered how the species known as the “Oceanoz” got their name and location.

Anansi got a part of his horn cut out from a previous war.

When Anansi was right about to take the Ozate, the Oz’s leader and his son, Prince Raybol Jr., had stopped him. Raybol had made an offer to Anansi that he thought he could not refuse, Anansi, rather than taking up the offer, had made up his mind. He snatched the Ozate and took off running, but didn’t get far, for the King’s palace was falling apart! 

  This was due to the Ozate holding all of the Oz’s world together. Anansi, who was now terrified, ran back to the king but ended up slipping through on of the cracks in the kingdom. The king lurched towards him, grabbed his paw, and tried to pull him up. 

But the kingdom was slipping inwards and Anansi and the King Raybol both went tumbling down into the crack of the kingdom, never to be seen again.

Raybol Jr., the prince watched horrified. He bent down on his knees, and knowing he was going to suffer a similar fate as his father, gave one finale prayer to Foreas, apologizing that his own kind couldn’t be trustworthy with the artifact known as the Ozate.

The Prince ended up being taken down with the kingdom, but, rather than dying, he awoke on a new piece of land he had never seen before. He got up and looked around.

Nothing was falling apart. There was no one there. No Oz’s. No Stribus’s. No houses. Nothing. He turned to look behind him to see Foreas standing there, staring at the Prince. The Prince, who was startled, bowed before the god.

  Rather than saying anything, Foreas instructed Raybol Jr. to stand. He did so. The god pulled out a set of instructions, handed them to the prince and told him, 

“You apologized for your people, you also knew the fate of your people. I see you as a wise one”. The prince stared at the god with question. “For this”, Foreas continued “I shall give your colony another chance, a redo to your way of life. I shall give you everything necessary to restart this species”. Raybol Jr. stared up at the god with amazement, “Thank you, sir”, the prince exclaimed. 

  Foreas told him, “Your last name shall be Oceanoz, as this vast land is filled with oceans and your future generation. When you pass away, your last name will become the name of the future generations’ species”. 

With this, Foreas turned around and walked away, fading into a mist of snow. The prince ended up being given everything needed to continue his kind, and from that day on, they lived in peace.

It is currently unknown as to what powers the Ozate was capable of.

Chapter 2:  Spacefaring

It has been a decade and a half since the occurrence of Oz’s evolution into the Oceanoz.  Raybol Jr. has now taken the throne with his wife and queen, Thea [THE-a]. Without them having to live under a law of a stone, everything with calm, easygoing. But the world, to Raybol Jr., felt like it was getting boring. The same routine inside the palace every day, no changes whatsoever. 

  So one night, while Thea was asleep, the king decided to walk down to a place below the palace, where they kept their priceless 

artifacts. One of these artifacts was an amulet, but not any ordinary amulet. This amulet had the ability to grant people wishes, with no strings attached.

She was well known for her passion for flowers.

The king walked up to the glass box containing this artifact, opened it, and pulled out the amulet. “Take me to a 

faraway land, a land of which these 

eyes have never seen before”! 

Raybol Jr. exclaimed. 

At that moment he was whisked away to another land, one of which was uninhabited. Raybol Jr. looked around. This world was vast with shades of green, blue, and gray. Green trees that swayed from side in the wind. Blue flowers as bright as the sky. Gray mountains that skyrocketed to the clouds above. It was a marvelous sight, something of which no Oceanoz had seen before. 

  But before the king could make another move, he was pulled right back to the rocky basement below the palace. 

Despite being sent back home, the king felt overjoyed at this discovery. There were other places to explore aside from his own.
