Christmas: A Postcard To Orko

Dear Orko,

I’d never forget that one Christmas. We were all helping to decorate the tree, and I decided to wrap you up in tinsel. Then Rocky, my dog, came along and pulled the tinsel, causing you to spin across the room like my good friend Taz! You felt dizzy after that, but my parents thought it was hilarious. I hope we have more Christmases like this. Which reminds me: I’ve been having the same dream in the last few nights that we’re huddled together in this great big forest, alone. You were snuggled close to my body, and I was happy feeling your warmth on my fur. I’ve seen this once on a programme named Walking With Dinosaurs, and yet huddling together in a warm temperatured forest can help us connect and bond with each other. I remember one time we went camping and we tried to count the stars together. You felt like you wanted to lie down and look at them closely, so I joined you. By the way, this morning I read comics about your adventures on Eternia with your so called ‘friends’, and you were ignored, even when a guy called ‘Man At Arms’ became destructive and violent. I get it, he was more abusive to you than anyone else on your homeland, I’m told, but I heard at a meeting once that Eternia is not safe for you, and that Earth is your proper home. Appreciate that you are able to live a happy life with me, Kiburi, Ua and Rocky under one safe roof. You deserve it, Orko, because you are a gifted and special wizard.

Love,

Your sister,

Furaha

XXXOOOOO
