This is NOT canon to Halthorne.
The snow leopard lay on the ground. "Hurt." He said. Hurt is what some of us are. Hurt is what some of us do. "Why must we feel hurt?" He said to himself. "Why must I feel hurt?" He said as he got onto his paws. Nobody wanted to feel hurt, yet we all had to. He was especially hurt. He began walking forward. "We have to hurt so others don't." He said as he continued walking. "We make a sacrafice that not everyone is willing to make." The snow leopard broke into a sprint. "I feel hurt so others don't have to." He said to himself. But why did it have to be him? Why couldn't someone feel hurt so he wouldn't have to? Because he had taken on the challenge, and there was no going back.
First, he had been abandoned. And because he was abandoned, he no longer wanted company. "It's better to accept." He said. Why should you whine about being abandoned, when there is no hope that you will meet up again? The snow leopard felt the rain begin to pour down on his head.
Next, he had lost his shelter. There was no place to stop. No place to rest. You had to grow accustomed to situations like that. There was no need to be weak about it. Being weak only created more problems. "I am shelter." He said as he continued to run through the rainforest.
Then, he was attacked. If you're all alone with no place to go, what do you think will happen to you? You will be attacked. There is no safety in this dark world. Only pain. "Fight back." If you are being threatened and attacked, you can't complain unless you have the will to fight back.
Then, he realized it. "It's not okay." Realize that everything isn't okay. Know what isn't okay. There isn't much you can do in this world. Everyone is being controlled by someone else, whether you know it or not. It can't get much better. Just realize it.
Finally, he accepted it. "I can't change it." There was nothing he could do. This was his life from now on. If you couldn't accept, then you couldn't survive in this world. The ability to accept was one of the most important things you had to learn in this world. You would think it's all okay, and then everything would turn on you. You can't survive any longer unless you accept it.
"No one should ever feel that way." Yet so many do. The snow leopard stopped and got off his paws. The sun was long gone. The snow leopard went to sleep. His life was okay. You just had to know how to view it.
In the morning, he woke up and got onto his paws. He began walking forward. He didn't just walk for no reason, oh no. He walked because he was trying to find the good things in the world, not matter how far they were. This time he had wandered into a Rainforest. A snow leopard in a rainforest, what an unusual sight. He looked around at all the animals. monkeys, birds, all so beautiful. Some were dangerous, some where harmless. As he continued walking, there was something that really caught his attention.
There in front of him, not yet noticing the snow leopard yet, was a large animal. It had legs striped with black and white, a white face, and a brown body. It was unlike any creature he had ever met. He took a step forward. The animal noticed him and fled. The snow leopard went off after it. Eventually the strange animal turned around to him and said. "Who are you?" The snow leopard introduced himself."My name is Halthorne. I am a snow leopard. And you are?" He said. "My name is Lisella. I am an Okapi." The okapi said to him. "A what?" He replied. "An okapi. You probably have never heard of me because my kind is on the brink of extinction." Lisella said. "I guess that's why. Well, nice to meet you, Lisella." Halthorne said to Lisella. "You too. Want to see where I live?" The okapi asked him. "Okay, I guess." He said as he began following the Okapi. "Let's race!" The okapi challenged him.
They continued to race, and in the end the Okapi won. Mainly because Halthorne had no idea where they were going. There was a small cave in which there were two other Okapis. One looked the size of an adult, and the other one seemed like it was recently born. "Who is this?" The adult Okapi said, tensing. "Relax. It's just someone I met." Lisella replied. The adult Okapi let out a sigh of relief and relaxed. "Nice to meet you. My name is Braxton and this is our son, Jase." The adult Okapi said to Halthorne. "Nice to meet you. It's not everyday you meet someone as unique as your kind." Halthorne said. "Thank you! Yes. Unfortunately there aren't very many of us now, but atleast we're still alive right?" Braxton said, smiling.
In a couple of days, The snow leopard got to know the Okapi's and became close friends with them. With them, he found the things that he never could.
First, he was no longer abandoned. He had people to count on, and people to protect. Next, he had shelter. The Okapis had let him stay in their shelter. Then, he was attacked less and less. There was never a soul in this world who wouldn't be attacked. But it was best to keep that to a minimum. Then, he realized it. "Everything is okay." He said. He realized how everything was changing. Changing for the better. Finally, he accepted it. He accepted that his life was changing for the better. It had all changed because instead of complaining, he had taken action. He had promised he would walk until he found the good in the world. And he had.
His life was turned around because instead of giving up, he kept going.
