Two actor performances in the style of a scene out of a movie.
Roger Gagnon is a humble Canadian moose happily supporting his wife and two calves with a good job selling oil equipment over the border. But when the United States elects a brash, unstable, immigrant-hating pig as their next President, things rapidly change. Now a simple business trip will turn into a insane, politically-fueled war between the richest nation on Earth and one lone moose just trying to get back to his family.
Gagnon has traveled by train across the American border hundreds of times, and it's all been quite rote. Until today. In his first trip since the new President's anti-immigration orders, the unlucky moose encounters an American pig immigrations officer all too ready to enforce the new laws as he sees fit.
When the drought runs too long, a village of coyotes grows desperate. An old coyote cry says a gift of silver and turquoise brought to the top of Arizuma mountain will bring skywater. Carol is the only adult without pups, so she reluctantly takes on the challenge to climb the mountain with the village's last riches. She understands little about the old magic she's tasked to summon, leaving her having to trust the absent-minded and disconnected ringtail who joins her on her journey.
Milton has learned he can't convince Caroline not to take her silver to the top of Arizuma mountain. So he figures if the world is going to end, he might as well tag along for it. That leaves the grounded Caroline with the silly ringtail in tow, a reluctant pair, but the only partner she has on the lonely mountain. This scene opens with the pair taking a rest, and Milton trying to liven up the mood by showing off his impressive tail-juggling.
In a distant solar system, a group of tree-living astronauts were sent out on a mission to find another inhabitable planet for their arboreal way of life. When they returned, they found their planet obliterated. Stranded, the team tries desperately to piece together clues of what happened, and more importantly, find any remnant of their civilization. Low on resources, the crew's odyssey finds them battling despair, mutiny, and dwindling chances of survival. Can they find their home, in a new world, before their search destroys them?
The destruction of their homeworld still fresh in their minds, the crew of the Canopy have been trying in vain to find a place to land, to at least establish a temporary base while Captain Gorin Horgrath plans the next move. It's been thirteen sun-cycles (days) since the Canopy has been able to spot a planet to land, and worse yet, their thrusters have been damaged by a recent asteroid colllision. The captain has called in Mijon Jinix, the chief ship engineer, to discuss the engine situation, and the two get into a heated discussion about the viability of Horgrath's plan.
Gather ye around, and let me spin the tale of the Mighty Sir Render, the boar knight who singlehandedly ran away from every battle he ever faced, at whom cowards scoff and birds excrement upon! And tell also the tale of the fair Maiden Tiewahn, the exotic red panda princess whose hand in marriage he so desired, but could only attain if he proved his courage! It is a short story, alas...
Sir Render is approaching the captain of the city guard to apply for the bounty to slay a nearby beast who is ravaging the town livestock, in hopes of winning the confidence of the princess. The captain is not impressed and suggests an easier task for the known coward.
