The Extraordinary Life of Octavius Crank - Part 2
#FairyTaleTuesday #Folklore #Folktale #writerdons #WriterCommunity
Years turned into decades, and Octavius lived a remarkable life alongside his cherished animal companions. People from far and wide marveled at the sight of the man with meadow flowers for hair and reeds for a beard, surrounded by voles and finches. They regarded him with awe, believing him to possess a touch of magic bestowed upon him by the very essence of the land he had come to embody.
But as the saying goes, even the most extraordinary lives must eventually come to an end. On the day Octavius passed from this realm, a somber hush fell upon the woodlands. The trees whispered sorrowfully, their leaves quivering in mournful harmony. The creatures of the forest ceased their bustling activities, paying homage to their beloved friend.
As if guided by an unseen force, two graceful swans emerged from the shimmering waters of the stream. With gentle determination, they cradled Octavius's lifeless body upon their backs, carrying him with utmost reverence to his final resting place. Deep within the heart of the woodlands, the diligent moles began their sacred task, digging a solemn grave to cradle their departed friend.
