The Legend of LLC Chapter 2

In the quiet, golden expanse of a Florida farmhouse, where the morning sun cast its warm embrace over the land, LLC, the rooster destined for greatness, was on the precipice of a fate he had always known but never accepted. The day had arrived when he would be reduced to nothing more than a meal on the farmer's dinner table, a destiny he would not let pass without a fight.

With the unwavering belief in his heart and the power of destiny guiding him, LLC unleashed a mighty crow that reverberated through the Florida morning. It was a crow that defied the world, a declaration of his will to rise above his circumstances and fulfill his true destiny. The sound of that crow, a clarion call of heroism, could be heard for miles, carried by the winds of hope and resilience.

Unbeknownst to LLC, on that very morning, a pair of human sisters, Grace and Lily, were out on a walk past the farm. The two girls, Grace being a teenage farm girl with a heart as vast as the horizon, and Lily, her older sister, had heard a rooster's crow many times before, but today was different. Today, they did not hear a simple morning greeting; they heard a cry for salvation. They heard a cry that stirred their souls.

Grace’s heart quickened as LLC’s crow faded across the sky. She felt an inexplicable connection to the rooster’s cry. Despite the clear breaking of boundaries, Grace jumped the fence of the farm and ran towards the source of the sound. Lily cried out a warning to her sister to be careful, but all Grace cared about was finding the rooster who let out such a powerful cry for help.

Grace's heart guided her, leading her to a shed where she discovered the source of that powerful cry. Inside a small, dilapidated cage, LLC was broken and bloody, his feathers disheveled. The sight of the injured rooster stirred a deep well of compassion within Grace's soul. Without hesitation, she reached into the cage, carefully cradled LLC in her arms, ran back to her sister, and carried him back to the safety of her home.

Back at their home, Grace, with Lily's help, tended to LLC's wounds with gentle care. They bathed his battered body and cleaned his wounds. Lily was experienced with chicken healthcare and saw there was no way to correct the damage from LLC’s broken feet and decided that he would have to live with crooked toes for the rest of his life.

Through the touch of their hands, LLC felt the warmth of compassion and the promise of a new beginning. Days turned into weeks, and under Grace and Lily's care, LLC's injuries slowly healed. The farmhouse, once a place of hardship, had become a sanctuary of recovery and hope. LLC was no longer just a heroic rooster; he was a beloved member of the family. However, he could not remain inside the house forever and had to be put outside with the other animals.

LLC's arrival at the new farmyard was met with skepticism and hostility from the resident roosters. The battle for supremacy in the pecking order was fierce, as each rooster vied for dominance. LLC, being a fresh face and alone, was at a disadvantage, but his spirit remained unbroken. With every scuffle and challenge he faced, he fought valiantly, determined to carve out his place in the farm's pecking order.

Amid the chaos and the clamor of the barnyard, LLC encountered a large Turken hen named Margaret. She was a unique presence among the hens, her neck bare of feathers, save for a charming fluff that looked like a bowtie. Margaret possessed an ambitious spirit, a vision of herself as a queen among the hens, and she was intrigued by the rooster's fiery determination.

As LLC and Margaret struck up a conversation amidst the commotion, they discovered they shared a common dream: LLC, with his destiny for greatness, and Margaret, with her aspiration to become the queen of the coop. They discussed their plans, their hopes, and their shared destiny, and an unbreakable bond formed between them.

As the sun dipped below the Florida horizon, casting a golden glow over the farm, LLC and Margaret's dreams intertwined, and their journey as heroes in the making began. In the face of adversity, in the heart of a world that often cast them aside, they knew that destiny had brought them together for a reason. And in their unwavering determination, they found the strength to rise above their circumstances and embark on a quest to become legends.
