When Algy woke up on Easter morning he thought that perhaps he had slipped back in time and in fact it was Christmas rather than Easter Day, for the hills and islands around him were all completely white…

A storm called Dave had swept over northern Britain on Easter Saturday, its friendly name belying its ferocious nature, for it had brought many hours of snowfall and icy temperatures to Scotland… including to Algy's home on the supposedly "mild" west coast, where snow was relatively rare, even in the depths of winter.

But although the bitter north wind remained strong, bringing further torrential showers of white hail and snow at times, the blanket of snow at sea level soon began to melt as the day advanced, although the temperature remained close to freezing. And when Algy flew over to his assistants' house from the beach – where he had spent the night curled up in a sheltered sand cave beneath the dunes – he was surprised to see that much of the ground around their home was free from snow, although there were still large white patches in places.

Wishing his assistants a very Happy Easter, Algy proceeded to look around their garden, as he wanted to know how far spring had advanced while he had been away, and he was surprised to see that the early pink camellias had been flowering unusually well this year, although many of their petals had now fallen.

But when he flew over to inspect the flowers more closely Algy got an even greater surprise, for no sooner had he paused to rest on a chilly but very pretty carpet of pink petals, than not one but two Easter Bunnies hopped out of the nearby bushes and presented him with decorated papier-mâché Easter eggs full of tiny, brightly coloured, sugar-coated chocolate eggs… it must indeed be Easter Day, and not Christmas! 😀

So Algy sends you all lots of fluffy Easter hugs, and wishes you all a very happy and peaceful Easter Day 🐣🌸🐥 🌹

A Shared Moment in the Filtered Light

Even a restless explorer needs to pause.

While Algy is lost in his book, Jujito is right there, captivated by the magic of the words. Peering through the ferns, he begins to hum a gentle melody, softly singing a few lines of Brontë’s poem into the quiet air.

Fox - Born on Papetoon, was brought to and raised in Corneria immediately after and ever since. Both James and Vixy however, are Papetoonian.

Falco - Born on Zoness, was forced to flee when Zoness became inhabitable when he was 6-7- been living on Corneria ever since

Slippy - A mix between an Aquassian toad (his mother) and a Fortunian Frog (Beltino), but they moved to Corneria permanently from Fortuna when he was a really young kid.

Peppy - Raised for the majority of his childhood on Papetoon, left to Corneria to enlist with James and hasn’t looked back.

Wolf - Born on Macbeth, was brought to Corneria with his parents, was then given up to an orphanage, then sent back to Macbeth to “volunteer” there. Refuses to step on that planet again, as much as he despises Corneria Wolf hates going to Macbeth even more.

Leon - Born on (and lived there for like 6 years) Venom, escaped to Corneria, then came back when he was around 15-17.

Pigma: Born and mainly resided on Corneria, until he betrayed the Star Fox team. The 5 years in between that and the formation of Star Wolf he was residing in Venom in a special facility away from it's toxic (to him at least) air.

Andrew: Technically Cornerian, but has no memories of the planet (or what real sunlight feels like), only conveniently started remembering things after he was brought to Venom at age 6.

Algy: Cornerian and distinctly remembers his childhood on Corneria before being brought to Venom alongside Andrew when Algy was 11. He'll insist he didn't come with Andrew tho, telling everyone that will listen who then have to listen to Andrew complain later that Algy is "crazy" and lying.

Hugs from a fluffy friend for a fluffy bird🤗🤗. Happy anniversary!

On the 13th, a star aligned, A feathered friend, one-of-a-kind. Thirteen circles around the sun, My feathered pal, the joyous one.

With wings that dance and heart so bright, A flash of color, a burst of flight. You chirp and chatter, spreading cheer, A bird so loved, a friend so dear.

Thirteen journeys you've taken, strong, Singing your own delightful song. You're wiser now, with wings unfurled, Ready to explore this big, bright world.

We've shared laughter, moments grand, Through sunny skies and storms we stand. On your golden birthday, wishes true, May skies be clear and joys accrue.

So here's to you, my feathered friend, May happiness today transcend. Fly high, fly free, your heart serene, Happy 13th on the 13th, my bird supreme
