There were three sets of footprints that\u0026nbsp;led through a\n\nbamboo\u0026nbsp;jungle to a clearing.\u0026nbsp;In the center of\u0026nbsp;the\u0026nbsp;clearing\u0026nbsp;stood a treasure chest with gold metal trim and a lock.\n\nThree figures\u0026nbsp;were\u0026nbsp;surrounding the\u0026nbsp;chest,\u0026nbsp;with all of their\u0026nbsp;weapons\u0026nbsp;at the ready. They\u0026nbsp;were all pirates,\u0026nbsp;fighting amongst each\n\nother for the treasure chest.\u0026nbsp;The two figures left of the\u0026nbsp;chest were Captain Clawbeard\u0026nbsp;and his green\u0026nbsp;parrot named\u0026nbsp;Squax perched\n\non\u0026nbsp;his shoulder. Clawbeard was\u0026nbsp;a black bear with a\u0026nbsp;red pirate coat, golden buttons,\u0026nbsp;and a black captain hat.\u0026nbsp;He fashioned\u0026nbsp;a cutlass\n\nand\u0026nbsp;had a right wooden peg leg.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"You're not getting the treasure, you swashbucklers!\" Clawbeard yelled, shaking his\u0026nbsp;sword at the other figures.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Oh really? I've got the map, so I deserve the treasure!\" the pirate to the right of the chest\u0026nbsp;shouted. Unlike Clawbeard, Pawbeard was a brown bear in a\u0026nbsp;\n\ngreen pirate\u0026nbsp;garment. With his left hand, he held a rapier. He had a parrot sitting on his shoulder as well. The feathers of the parrot were red, and his name was\n\nTweet.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Stand down, or you will go down,\" said Captain Jawbeard, a polar bear that had a black\u0026nbsp;pirate coat, black captain hat, and a fluffy yellow parrot on his\u0026nbsp;\n\nshoulder\u0026nbsp;named Kaw. Jawbeard had a patch on his right eye since he became half-blind after fighting\u0026nbsp;a Kraken in the past. He held a multi-barreled gun,\n\npointed\u0026nbsp;it at Pawbeard.\n\nPointing his weapon at Clawbeard, he cried out, \"I didn't forget about you! Don't you dare\u0026nbsp;go towards the treasure!\" Each captain barreled to the\n\ntreasure\u0026nbsp;chest after a bit of deliberation, growling, and staring each other down. The parrots on each captain's\u0026nbsp;shoulders flew to a high branch of\u0026nbsp;a tree\n\nto avoid\u0026nbsp;an attack.\n\n\"You don't even have the key to open the chest, Jawbeard!\" Clawbeard exclaimed, trying\u0026nbsp;to wrangle the chest from the other captains.\u0026nbsp;\n\nPawbeard shouted, \"Neither do you, you scurvy ursidae!\"\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Wait! None of us have the key?\" Jawbeard asked, pausing his struggle for the treasure\u0026nbsp;chest. Suddenly, a deep voice from afar boomed out,\n\n\"Yo ho ho! Why\u0026nbsp;are you fighting, hearties?\"\u0026nbsp;\n\nEvery captain turned to see who was speaking. A giant, burly figure burst in through the\u0026nbsp;bamboo trees and roared. The figure was a panda bear\n\nwith a brown\u0026nbsp;pirate coat and a scar under his right eye.\n\nAll at the same time, the three captains shouted with surprised faces, \"Dad?!\" The panda\u0026nbsp;laughed heartily.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I am known in the high seas as Captain Mawbeard, but yes, I am your Dad. You three\u0026nbsp;have grown up so much!\" Mawbeard exclaimed. Hearing\n\nthat the commotion\u0026nbsp;has died down,\u0026nbsp;Squax, Tweet, and Kaw flew back on their respective captain's shoulders.\u0026nbsp;Seeing the parrots fly down made Mawbeard\n\nhappy.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"It's great to see you have pets to take care of, too! Now, why were you fighting for that\u0026nbsp;treasure chest?\" he asked.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"There's gold in here that could make me rich for the rest of my life!\" Clawbeard\u0026nbsp;answered.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Enough!\" Mawbeard yelled angrily. \"You shouldn't be fighting for this treasure chest.\u0026nbsp;Besides, you should all share it amongst each other.\"\n\nThen, he pulled out a golden key from his pocket. The brothers gasped. They were only\u0026nbsp;aware of the location of the\u0026nbsp;treasure chest but had no idea\n\nwhere the key was. It turns out their father kept the chest key to himself so that no\u0026nbsp;one had access to the contents.\u0026nbsp;Mawbeard walked up\u0026nbsp;to the front\n\nof the chest, inserted the key into the lock, and turned it. There was a click\u0026nbsp;that echoed in the ambiance. Slowly, he opened the lid, and\u0026nbsp;blinding light\n\nflooded\u0026nbsp;out from the chest. Inside was a painted portrait of a female\u0026nbsp;bear in a silver metal frame.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"That's mother,\" Jawbeard said softly. He then started to tear up. His brothers saw this\u0026nbsp;and also began crying. They all hugged each other,\n\nbeing happy but sobbing at\u0026nbsp;the same time. Mawbeard also came to tears and then hugged all of his sons.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I'm so glad we can all share this treasure,\" Mawbeard said. In the final hours of the day,\u0026nbsp;the father and sons bonded over memories of their\n\nmother who had passed.\u0026nbsp;The sun went down, and all of the pirates fell asleep happy with their reunion.\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Micro Stories","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1753325-green-night-by-alpha-wolfio.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1913989-sucking-at-games-by-alpha-wolfio.json"}}
