Takofuusen's Hello

It's eyes slowly opened to the bright daylight.

A happy feeling grew in its chest. It's heart began to beat faster and faster. It now sounded like a high-pitched drum beat.

It flew away with the wind pulling it across the sky.

For such a blank, hopeless area, Takofuusen was glad to be a happy creature.

It flew past Dave Spector, who didn't seem to notice anything.

This world was blank.

It flew in and out of tunnels

This world was very blank.

It flew high above the wasteland, looking at everything below.

This world was too blank.

Takofuusen forgot why it wanted to come back here. But it wasn't going to have that thought let me down. Its memories of the colorful world is what kept it going all these years. The smiles of everything he flew past. The bright, yellow sun, and the inviting, white moon.

The memories felt warm and fresh in its mind, and kept its heart going.

But it wanted to go back.

This desire sprouted a new question: How did it get there in the first place?

It thought, and remembered how.

It began to search the world, looking for the only tree with color.

When it did, Takofuusen fell into a deep sleep next to it.

-(- Hours Later -)-

A cold breeze woke Takofuusen up, it's eyes greeted by sunlight. The blue sky and the green trees caused its joy to grow again. Much more than before.

It slowly rose up, and took flight amongst the clouds.

Takofuusen had returned.

Takofuusen's Flight

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Takofuusen's Purpose

There is a small pony tale about a strange, floating creature.

Some ponies say it's just a myth. But it's true.

There's a extremely rare chance that you can see the mysterious creature floating above in all it's glory.

Sometimes, you can hear a faint drum beat noise coming from it. It is said that it could bring good luck. It could cure sickness. Depression. It could even bring back the deceased.

It was named Takofuusen.

The name Takofuusen was said to come from an ancient civilization that had passed away.

The name was soon found out to translate to "octopus balloon", which changed how ponies thought of Takofuusen's appearance.

It wasn't until the year 1547 that a strange pony stated he saw the creature and even drew what looked like. The appearance stuck.

In the year 1835, a book was found in the wilderness by settlers said to be written by a mad pony, about Takofuusen's origin and its purpose.

The 'mad pony' had written: "The Octopus Balloon, or Takofuusen, comes from the land White Desert, where no colors are found, which is far beyond Equestria. I kept Takofuusen hidden. It's homesick, so I'm sending it back."

The book was thought to be written by Starswirl the Bearded, who suddenly disappeared off the face of the planet.

The legend shriveled and shrunk into a small rumor, whispered only by who believed it would return to make life brighter, but those ponies slowly die away, and the legend was lost.

Very few books about Takofuusen still exist, which are only buried deepest in libraries, and farthest within archives.

But some believe Takofuusen is coming back.
