The windy breeze swept across the island with the scent of a sweet aroma making its way through the air which had caught the attention of two small aquatic herbivores who poked their heads out of the water at the start of a river that had gone out from the sea. Colorful feathers puffing out as they shook the water from them, it was Lotus and Carp to small atopodentatus who often stuck close to the rivers and didn’t venture out to the ocean often but the sweet aroma had made them come further in leading them to the river which they would only have to jump up stream to get into.

“Are you sure you smell it this way, Lotus?” Carp had honked at the turquoise feathered Male, who seemed to have been the main one who had caught the scent of the sweet scent and had taken Carp along with him who was a bit unsure of where the smell was coming from. While the two were figuring out how to jump the river rocks further up in the woods the sound of loud lumbering echoed as small trees were knocked down and the flash of blue and black feathers peered through the dull orange and brown colors of the land.

A large shuno also was on the trail of the sweet aroma and was heading towards it when she came out to see the river and overheard the talking from the two smaller herbivores which she made her way down to introduce herself and maybe lend a helpful claw out to them with getting over the river rocks.

With a loud honk she made herself known “Hello you two are you following the scent, I think i could lend a helping claw for you guys to get over the river. And I know where all the good stuff is” She bellowed at them as the two Apto’s turned their attention to Artorias with happy clacks and of course Lotus agreed instantly with Carp a little nervous about the shuno due to her size.

“Yeah we are , if you could help us out that would be very nice of you! I am Lotus and this is Carp. He is a little shy but we are following the scent. Do you know what it is?” Lotus said cheerfully as he swam up to Artorias who leaned her head down to greet them and allow them to climb on to carry them up past the river rocks that blocked their path.

“Yes I do, it’s the farm lands not far from here with all the uneaten fruit, and let me tell you they are so good sometimes you get a little buzz from them which is enjoyable. I can bring you some if you can’t get up there” The large herbivore said as she picked them up moving slowly with Carp hanging on for dear life digging his flipper claws into Artorias’s thick neck feathers.

Lotus enjoyed the help as once the shuno got them close to the water they dove right in before resurfacing to talk to her, with Carp speaking up this time. “Oh that sounds fun, could you get us some! We would love to have some to share with you since we can’t really move fast on dry land” his bill clacking cheerfully and Lotus behind nodding in agreement.

Artorias nodded and gave off a warm smile. She would love to sit down and enjoy some of the fermented fruit with others so this was her chance, with one big nod she headed off before turning back and saying “Wait here I’ll be back! I won’t be too long it’s not far” quickly leaving and her pace in motion she had passed a bit from the river and had spotted the farmland seeing all the fruit and crops untouched which meant there was lots for the taking, and she was ready. Leaning over an old fence into the crop yards she plucked a few round pumpkins, some big and some others small, for her two new aquatic friends Carp and Lotus who waited patiently for her return.

After picking what she thought was good, she headed back with all the fruit, the smell growing stronger and making her feel funny which meant they were ripe and good for eating. The fun was about to begin, Lotus and Carp jumping up and down as they saw Artorias return the smell hitting their bills as they began to drool, slightly excited to try the over ripe fruit.

“Look she is back and do you smell that Carp , it’s making me feel kinda funny” Lotus said as he jumped onto the soft grass honking excitedly when Artorias put down the small pumpkin and squashed it open with her foot for them so the pieces would be much smaller.

“Alright dig in you two!, and don’t eat too much if you can’t handle it” She said letting out a soft laugh before chewing on her own pumpkin, as her legs began to feel wobbly sitting down, her weight crushing against the ground as she felt loopy after eating the pumpkin a bit.

Lotus and Carp joined in as they also took pieces of the pumpkin, chowing down on them as they felt the odd feeling as well with the small herbivores also becoming wobbly before letting out a few laughs and honks. The over ripe fruit wasn’t just good but it was getting the herbivores a little drunk making them feel weird as Artorias bellowed out loud by accident before giving off a laugh as she swayed her head down looking at Lotus and Carp who were also having an enjoyable time.

“You look like a little leaf Lotus” She said before leaning down and licking the small apto who giggled and honked back to her pretending to be a leaf and Carp watching the two as he also started to feel odd.

The group was drunk on the fruit and crops with the herbivores laughing as Carp floated in the river beside them enjoying himself, Artorias also laughing as Lotus was being a goofball due to eating more of the pumpkin which caused the all drunk herbivores to laugh and finally after a little while all had passed out with smiles across their bills and face, a day well spent with some drunkenness it never hurt anyone just a little bit it was all fun.
